  1. Intranasal Delivery of Testosterone Prodrugs to the CNS

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men with over 1.4 million new cases diagnosed globally in 2020 (see Wang 2022). Although disease confined to the prostate is highly curable, many men will be diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer which is not curable but is treatable. The gold standard of care is androgen...

  4. Urinary Glycoproteins for the Early Detection of Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    Unmet Need According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. However, most patients with prostate cancer have the low-risk, nonaggressive form that does not require invasive intervention or treatment. The gold standard of diagnosing men with...

  5. Radiolabeled Thapsigargin Analogs Incorporated into Protease Activated Prodrugs

    Various embodiments of this invention relate generally to targeted activation and delivery of therapeutic drugs to cells that produce prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), prostate specific antigen (PSA) or human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2). Various embodiments relate more specifically to PSA, hK2 or PSMA-specific peptide prodrugs that become...

  6. Apparatus and Methods for Ultrasound Screening of Prostate Cancer

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in American men, behind skin cancer. It is also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American males, and there is a continuing need for innovation in diagnosis for those at risk for prostate cancer.  After initial diagnostic blood tests for prostate-specific antigens, a prostate...

  7. Androgen Receptor and AR-V7 Knock-out Lines from the LNCaP95 Cell Line

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer is considered the most common type of cancer in men with approximately 249,000 new cases and an estimated 34,130 deaths in 2021 (see ACS). Prostate cancer treatment is dependent on tumor staging with early stage intervention including surgery or radiotherapy and later stage management by androgen deprivation therapy (see...

  8. Detection of Prostate Cancer Proteins in Serum for Cancer Diagnosis with a Blood Test

    There is a crucial need of discovering novel biomarkers in addition to prostate specific antigen (PSA) to improve the specificity of clinical diagnosis for prostate cancer. This invention addresses this problem by discovering proteins from prostate cancer tissues that can be detected in patients’ blood. Hence, a blood test can be developed for detecting...

  9. Sequential Hormone Therapy to Improve Survival and Enhance Response to Immune Therapy in Men with Prostate Cancer

    Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Men with prostate cancer develop resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (castration resistant prostate cancer) and must rely on less defined subsequent lines of therapy. Increasing resistance develops with each subsequent line of hormonal therapy. There exists an unmet clinical need to overcome resistance to hormone...

  10. Novel Biomarker for Breast Cancer Detection Outcome and Treatment Sensitization to Nucleolin and CDK Inhibitors

    Unmet Need: Despite widespread research efforts, breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. There is an urgent need to identify novel biomarkers and treatment strategies against aggressive forms of breast cancer to improve prognosis and therapy.   Technical Details: Johns Hopkins researchers have identified a novel biomarker...

  11. Integrated Proteomic Biomarkers for the Detection of Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    Unmet Need / Invention Novelty: Current prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based tests lack specificity in differentiating between aggressive and non-aggressive prostate cancer (PC), the latter of which does not require invasive intervention or treatment. Aggressive prostate cancer is therefore over-diagnosed and overtreated. There is an unmet need to...

  12. MRI-Guided Active Injection Needle for Radiation-Oncology Brachytherapy

    Unmet Need Effective radiation treatment of tumors combines maximal radiation dose delivery to planned locations while mitigating radiation impacts on surrounding normal tissues. A delivery of radiation absorption materials (biocompatible gels) to create pockets of radiation dissipation has proven to be an effective method to mask unwanted effects....

  13. Human Serum Albumin-PSA proaerolysin Prodrug

    UNMET NEED The current standards of care for prostate cancer (Pca) include hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, and combinational therapy. However, these treatments often have side effects that affect the quality of life of the Pca patients. Hence, there is an urgent need for developing better target-based therapies. This technology...

  14. Long-Circulating PSMA-Targeted Phototheranostic Agent

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer is the leading cancer in the U.S. population and the second leading cause of cancer death in men. A promising precision cancer treatment known as photodynamic therapy (PDT) offers a way to selectively target prostate cancer cells for destruction. Prostate PDT uses a ligand to attach a light-sensitizing agent known as porphyrin...

  15. PSMA-Targeted PAMAM Dendrimers for Specific Delivery of Imaging, Contrast and Therapeutic Agents

    Unmet Need According to The American Cancer Society, approximately 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, with 174,650 new cases diagnosed yearly in the US.  As prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, early detection is important for adequate treatment.  The most common method of detecting...

  16. Device and Methods for Transrectal Ultrasound-Guided Prostate Biopsy

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy. Additionally, it is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths among men in the United States with nearly 1 in every 6 men predicted to be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives. Currently, the most common biopsy method is a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)...

  17. Competitive PSMA Binding Agents for Reduction of Non-target Organ Uptake of Radiolabeled PSMA Inhibitors for PSMA Positive Tumor Imaging and Radiopharmaceutical Therapy

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American men and it is estimated that approximately 164,690 new cases will be diagnosed in 2018. Elevated prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) serves as a biomarker for prostate cancer and as well as primary clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). However, PSMA is also...

  18. RNA In Situ Hybridization Assay (RISH) for the Detection of Prostate Cancer Cells in Urine

    Unmet Need Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the male population; roughly one out of ten men will be diagnosed at some point in their lives. Efficient screening and accurate diagnosis is a public health imperative due to the large potential patient population. Prostate cancer is usually diagnosed following an abnormal...
