NIH - Industry Pilot Program:Discovering New Therapeutic Uses for Existing Molecules October 24, 2012 Christine Colvis, Ph.D. NCATS
NCATS Mission Catalyze the generation of innovative methods and technologies that will enhance the development, testing and implementation of diagnostics and therapeutics across a wide range of human diseases and conditions.
The decision to focus the NCATS mission on the actual science of the translational process will distinguish it from other current public or private enterprises and make it abundantly clear that NIH is not attempting to become a drug development company. -- Francis Collins July 6, 2011 Science Translational Medicine
NCATS: Therapeutics Discovery Pilot Goal: To identify new therapeutic uses of proprietary compounds and biologics across a broad range of human diseases in areas of medical need. The pilot initiative will: • Match candidate Agents from 8 pharmaceutical partners with innovative ideas for new indications from the biomedical research community. • NIH provides: template Collaborative Research Agreements (CRAs) and Confidential Disclosure Agreements (CDAs), FOAs, review, funding, and oversight • Pharmaceutical partners provide: compounds, biologics, in kind support, and pertinent data • Academic researchers provide: deep understanding of disease biology, new concepts to test, and access to appropriate patient populations

UH3 vs UH2/UH3 Application • Investigator will decide whether to submit a UH3 or UH2/UH3 application based on the existing data on the Agent as it relates to the proposed new therapeutic use. • UH3 supports implementation of proof of concept Phase IIa trials (no feasibility studies needed). • UH2/UH3 supports a two-stage approach, including feasibility studies (pre-clinical and/or Phase Ib trials) prior to a proof of concept Phase IIatrial.
