2026-16440, NIH Owned Invention Available for License: Soluble Tissue Factor, a Novel Target, and Antibodies, for Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Thrombosis and Related Conditions
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered a novel therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic target for thrombosis: Soluble Tissue Factor (sTF). NCI has generated first-in- class antibodies and platform selectively neutralizing pathological coagulation while preserving normal hemostasis. This platform technology can be used to prevent, diagnose and treat pathological thrombosis caused by a variety of clinical conditions-including cancer, sepsis, infectious diseases (e.g., COVID), autoimmune disorders, trauma, heart conditions and inflammatory conditions. It offers a much more sensitive and specific test of thrombosis than the current D-dimer test. It may be applicable to any clinical condition which induces necroptosis, pyroptosis and NETtosis, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease, ischemia-reperfusion and acute injuries, traumatic injuries, bacterial and viral infections, cardiovascular conditions, and atherosclerosis, inflammatory, autoimmune conditions, and others.
