Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III LABORATORY RESEARCH LEADING TO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS - LINE 4A THE LUDWIG INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH WAS FOUNDED 45 YEARS AGO AS AN INTERNATIONAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING, PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF CANCER. THE INSTITUTE'S SCIENTISTS BOTH CONDUCT INNOVATIVE BASIC RESEARCH AND FACILITATE THE TRANSLATION OF PROMISING CANCER DISCOVERIES INTO APPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN BENEFIT. MAKING MEANINGFUL ADVANCES THAT WILL ULTIMATELY TRANSFORM CARE FOR CANCER PATIENTS IS CENTRAL TO THE INSTITUTE'S MISSION. THE INSTITUTE'S RESEARCH FOCUSES ON ENHANCING THE UNDERSTANDING OF CANCER ONSET AND PROGRESSION, AS WELL AS IDENTIFYING AND CHARACTERIZING TOOLS AND TARGETS FOR NEW DIAGNOSTIC, PROGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES. THE LUDWIG INSTITUTE ENGAGES LEADING SCIENTISTS AND CLINICIANS IN AN INTEGRATED LABORATORY AND CLINICAL RESEARCH EFFORT TO CONFRONT THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE OF CANCER. SPECIFICALLY, THE INSTITUTE'S RESEARCH SEEKS TO EXTEND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GENES, PROTEINS, CELLS AND CELLULAR PROCESSES INVOLVED IN CANCER ONSET AND PROGRESSION. THIS UNDERSTANDING OF MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR ABERRATIONS IN CANCER ALLOWS INSTITUTE SCIENTISTS TO FURTHER THEIR LABORATORY WORK TO IDENTIFY, CHARACTERIZE AND EVALUATE NEW TOOLS AND TARGETS FOR THEIR POTENTIAL IN PREVENTIVE, DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. ALL LABORATORY RESEARCH FINANCED BY THE INSTITUTE IS CARRIED OUT BY THE INSTITUTE'S IN-HOUSE RESEARCH STAFF OR THROUGH RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS INVOLVING INSTITUTE STAFF AND EXTERNAL INVESTIGATORS. THE INSTITUTE HAD AROUND 420 SCIENTISTS, CLINICIANS AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2015, LOCATED IN SIX COUNTRIES AND FOCUSED ON MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF CANCER RESEARCH. THE LUDWIG INSTITUTE RECEIVES FUNDING FOR APPROXIMATELY 60% OF ITS RESEARCH COSTS FROM THE LICR FUND, INC., A DELAWARE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO MAINTAINING AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO FOR THIS PURPOSE. THIS DEDICATED FUNDING SOURCE GIVES LUDWIG INVESTIGATORS THE FREEDOM TO TACKLE INNOVATIVE LONG-TERM RESEARCH, AND ENCOURAGES AND ENABLES MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS OF INVESTIGATORS TO TACKLE LARGER, MORE COMPLEX CANCER CHALLENGES. THE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES OF THE LUDWIG INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH, TOGETHER WITH THOSE OF THE LUDWIG CENTERS ESTABLISHED AT SIX U.S. ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS WITH FUNDING FROM A TRUST UNDER THE WILL OF DANIEL K. LUDWIG, COMPRISE "LUDWIG CANCER RESEARCH", AN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF DISTINGUISHED SCIENTISTS DEDICATED TO PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING CANCER. MR. LUDWIG BEGAN TO SUPPORT CANCER RESEARCH WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INSTITUTE IN 1971. THE DEVELOPMENT, PROTECTION AND LICENSING OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) GENERATED BY RESEARCH DISCOVERIES AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IS FUNDAMENTAL TO LUDWIG'S COMMITMENT TO TRANSLATE ITS DISCOVERIES INTO APPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN BENEFIT. THE INSTITUTE PATENTS ITS IP TO ENSURE THAT ITS DISCOVERIES ATTRACT INTEREST FROM COMMERCIAL PARTNERS. INCOME FROM THESE ACTIVITIES FINANCED RESEARCH EXPENDITURES AMOUNTING TO USD 6.8 MILLION IN 2015. THE INSTITUTE ALSO MANAGES ITS IP PATENTS FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT. THIS MEANS THE IP IS MADE FREELY AVAILABLE TO THE ACADEMIC RESEARCH COMMUNITY. IN 2015, LUDWIG INSTITUTE INVESTIGATORS PUBLISHED 273 PRIMARY RESEARCH ARTICLES AND 69 REVIEWS, BOOK CHAPTERS AND/OR COMMENTARIES. THESE PUBLICATIONS COVERED A RANGE OF CANCER RESEARCH DISCOVERIES IN THE FIELDS OF GENETICS, GENOMICS, CELL BIOLOGY, SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION, PROTEOMICS, IMMUNOLOGY, BIOINFORMATICS AND DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT. IN 2015, NINE US AND SIX EUROPEAN PATENTS WERE ISSUED; 14 NEW APPLICATIONS WERE FILED IN THE US, ALONG WITH EIGHT NEW INTERNATIONAL PATENT APPLICATIONS.
FORM 990, PART III CLINICAL RESEARCH - LINE 4B LABORATORY RESEARCH ON ISOLATED CELLS AND MACROMOLECULES, WHILE CRITICAL, WILL NOT ALONE PRODUCE THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC TOOLS REQUIRED FOR CANCER CONTROL. TO FURTHER UNDERSTAND THE DISEASE AND THE BODY'S REACTION TO IT, AND TO EXPLORE THE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF DISCOVERIES, CLINICAL RESEARCH - THE ANALYSIS OF PATIENT SAMPLES AND POTENTIAL THERAPIES IN CLINICAL TRIALS - MUST ALSO BE CONDUCTED. RECOGNIZING THIS, THE LUDWIG INSTITUTE TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DISCOVERY CONTINUUM, FROM THE LABORATORY THROUGH THE EARLY PHASE CLINICAL TRIALS. THE INSTITUTE BELIEVES THAT THE SAME SYSTEMATIC, INVESTIGATIVE RIGOR THAT YIELDED THE LABORATORY DISCOVERY IN THE FIRST PLACE SHOULD BE APPLIED IN EARLY-PHASE CLINICAL TRIALS TO ASSESS A DISCOVERY'S THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL. IT HAS, THEREFORE, COMMITTED THE RESOURCES AND MARSHALLED THE CAPABILITIES THAT ALLOW IT TO EVALUATE ITS PROMISING BASIC DISCOVERIES IN HUMAN CLINICAL STUDIES. THE LUDWIG INSTITUTE HAS LICENSING AGREEMENTS WITH BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES THAT ALLOW IT TO OBTAIN PROPRIETARY INVESTIGATIONAL AGENTS AND EVALUATE WHETHER THESE AGENTS MIGHT COMPLEMENT THE THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL OF THE INSTITUTE'S OWN DISCOVERIES. THE INSTITUTE'S INTERACTIONS WITH INDUSTRY ARE DESIGNED TO PROTECT ITS ETHOS AND INTEGRITY AND TO ENSURE THAT ITS DISCOVERIES ARE ACTIVELY PURSUED AS PROGNOSTIC, DIAGNOSTIC AND/OR THERAPEUTIC AGENTS FOR HUMAN BENEFIT. SEVEN INSTITUTE-SPONSORED CLINICAL TRIALS WERE ONGOING IN 2015. ONE ADDITIONAL STUDY WAS MANAGED BUT NOT SPONSORED DIRECTLY BY THE INSTITUTE. LUDWIG INSTITUTE INVESTIGATIONAL STUDY AGENTS WERE PROVIDED FOR AN ADDITIONAL 19 ACTIVE CLINICAL TRIALS SPONSORED AND MANAGED BY LOCAL ENTITIES. THESE 27 TRIALS WERE SUPPORTED BY 15 ACTIVE INSTITUTE REGULATORY DOSSIERS [EIGHT INVESTIGATIONAL NEW DRUG (IND) APPLICATIONS (USA), ONE DRUG MASTER FILE (DMF), ONE CLINICAL TRIAL APPLICATION (CTA) IN SWITZERLAND AND FIVE CLINICAL TRIAL NOTIFICATIONS (CTN) IN AUSTRALIA]. OVER THE YEAR, THE INSTITUTE MADE FIVE NEW REGULATORY SUBMISSIONS AND 97 SUPPLEMENTAL SUBMISSIONS TO ITS ACTIVE REGULATORY DOSSIERS IN THREE COUNTRIES.
