A synergistic chemotherapy and radiotherapy drug delivery technology for treating prostate cancer tumors
Unmet Need Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest manifestations of cancer in clinical oncology. Despite accounting for only 3.2% of all cancer cases, it is the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. National Comprehensive…
Anti-cancer therapeutic for the induction of apoptosis in solid tumors via TRAIL receptors
Unmet Need Tumor necrosis factor-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL, CD253) acts as an activator of apoptosis in many tumor cells, while remaining innocuous to normal cells. Both membrane-bound and soluble forms of TRAIL can trigger apoptosis…
Enzymatic synthesis of aptamer-targeted polynucleotide drug delivery platforms for cancer therapy
Unmet Need In the United States alone, over 1.8 million new patients were diagnosed with cancer in 2021, and over 600,000 patients died from the disease. Cytostatic nucleotides, such as gemcitabine and 5-fluorouracil, have been…
A class of biodegradable stealth polymers to improve drug delivery
Unmet Need Delivery of drugs or therapeutics such as small molecules, peptides, and proteins, in their native form, is limited by their poor stability, low solubility, and short in vivo circulation. These challenges in drug…
A tumor-targeting delivery method for chemotherapeutics and other cargo
Unmet Need Delivery and therapeutic efficacy of small molecule imaging agents and chemotherapeutics are hampered by their short half-life, low solubility, non-selectivity to cancer cells, and toxic side effects. Small molecule chemotherapeutics, although in routine…
A nanoparticle drug delivery system for small molecule cancer drugs that binds endogenous albumin
Unmet Need Small molecule cancer drugs often suffer from poor systemic exposure, resulting from their low water solubility and short plasma half-life. Additionally, the off-target toxicity is the main challenge that undermines efficacy. Nanoparticle drug…
A rod-like nanoparticle drug delivery system for hydrophilic small molecules
Unmet Need New strategies to load small molecule drugs into nanoparticles are a powerful approach to improve the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutics, and this has been a successful strategy for overcoming the limitations of poor…
A novel class of nanoparticles that can be recombinantly synthesized for drug delivery and other applications
Unmet Need Recombinant biopolymers are used for a diverse array of applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and clinical diagnostics. Peptide polymers are particularly attractive candidates for biomedical applications because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and…
Thermally-responsive elastin-like peptides for improving the efficacy of anticancer agents
Unmet Need The goal of chemotherapy is to deliver an anticancer agent, typically a small molecule, at a high dose to a tumor to kill rapidly proliferating tumor cells. Unfortunately, the maximum dose of many…
Genetically encoded hybrid biomaterials that are thermally responsive and tunable
Unmet Need Developing new biomaterials is an active area of research, with applications in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug-delivery. In particular, protein- and peptide-based materials are attractive candidates for these applications because of their…
Increasing the half-life of therapeutic proteins and peptides using elastomeric-like polypeptides with environmental sensitivity
Value Proposition Since insulin was used as the first therapeutic protein in a clinical setting, the field of protein therapeutics has rapidly expanded. From 2014-2018, therapeutic proteins had the highest compound annual growth rate of…
Unstructured non-repetitive polypeptides as a tool for imparting temperature-dependent physical properties to protein fusions
Value Proposition Proteins can be useful therapeutic agents when engineered for specificity and selectivity for a clinical target. Their complexity, versatility, tolerability, and diversity often make them superior alternatives to small molecule drugs, and the…
