ABOUT DANA-FARBER CAN INSTITUTE
From achieving the first remissions in childhood cancer with chemotherapy in 1948 to developing the very latest new therapies, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is one of the world's leading centers of cancer research and treatment. It is the only center ranked in the top 4 of U.S. News and World Report'sBest Hospitals for both adult and pediatric cancer care.
Dana-Farber sits at the center of a wide range of collaborative efforts to reduce the burden of cancer through scientific inquiry, clinical care, education, community engagement, and advocacy. Dana-Farber/Brigham and Women's Cancer Center provides the latest in cancer care for adults; Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center for children. The Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center unites the cancer research efforts of five Harvard academic medical centers and two graduate schools, while Dana-Farber Community Cancer Care provides high-quality cancer treatment in communities outside Boston's Longwood Medical Area.
Dana-Farber is dedicated to a unique 50/50 balance between cancer research and care, and much of the Institute's work is dedicated to translating the results of its discovery into new treatments for patients in Boston, and around the world.
Effective April 27, 2017, Cannabis Science, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a new Research Collaboration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc., (the “Institute”) a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation, having its principal offices at 450 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA 02215. This Agreement builds on a Research Collaboration Agreement entered into between the Company and the Institute on January 3, 2017, and expands the scope of the working relationship of the parties.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Institute has developed know-how and expertise in the treatment of cancer and desires to obtain funding and technical support from the Company to further such research. The Company would like to establish a consortium of academic investigators from several U.S. not-for-profit institutions, and would like the Institute to be the lead institution to develop and investigate the use of cannabinoids to cure various cancers, investigate synergies with radiotherapy and immunotherapy, and obtain certain data and rights to inventions developed during research funded by the Company.
This consortium will operate as a virtual institute/consortium involving researchers from different institutions conducting research on medical cannabis for treatment of cancers and other indications. The research would also include investigating synergies in the use of cannabinoids in combination with standard treatment approaches such as radiotherapy and immunotherapy.
Seed funding for the consortium/virtual institute will be provided by the Company. The virtual institute will be dedicated to conducting medical cannabis research and complementary education activities. Collaborations amongst consortium Principal Investigators will be designed to accelerate clinical translation (with FDA approval) of medical cannabis for cancer and other indications without the usual side effects that have hitherto hampered clinical translation.
The specific aims that will be supported under the new Agreement will include:
The term of the Agreement is for five years. In consideration for the Agreement and performance of the Research, the Company shall pay the Institute $1,834,062, payable in yearly installments.
Each Party shall have the right to seek additional third-party funding for the Research and in the case of the Company, for commercialization of all Inventions derived as a result of the Agreement and both parties shall mutually agree to the terms and conditions (outside of the terms of the Agreement) for any third-party research funding.
On January 3, 2017, Cannabis Science, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc., (the “Institute”) a Massachusetts not-for-profit corporation, having its principal offices at 450 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA 02215.
