or proposed for such funding, which may include, for example, collaborators or consultants) will not be biased by any Investigator financial conflicts of interest. 45 CFR Part 94 is available at the following Web site: xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxx-xxx/xxxx-xxx?xxxxxx&XXXx0xx00xx000x00000x000xxx000xx0000&xxxxxxx0&xxxxxxxxx&xxxxx00:0.0.0.0.00&xxxxx 45As required by 45 CFR Part 94, the Institution shall, at a minimum:

Maintain an up-to-date, written, enforceable policy on financial conflicts of interest that complies with 45 CFR Part 94, inform each Investigator of the policy, the Investigator’s reporting responsibilities regarding disclosure of significant financial interests, and the applicable regulation, and make such policy available via a publicly accessible Web site, or if none currently exist, available to any requestor within five business days of a request. A significant financial interest means a financial interest consisting of one or more of the following interests of the Investigator (and those of the Investigator’s spouse and dependent children) that reasonably appears to be related to the Investigator’s institutional responsibilities:

With regard to any publicly traded entity, a significant financial interest exists if the value of any remuneration received from the entity in the twelve months preceding the disclosure and the value of any equity interest in the entity as of the date of disclosure, when aggregated, exceeds $5,000. Included are payments and equity interests;

With regard to any non-publicly traded entity, a significant financial interest exists if the value of any remuneration received from the entity in the twelve months preceding the disclosure, when aggregated, exceeds $5,000, or when the Investigator (or the Investigator’s spouse or dependent children) holds any equity interest; or

Intellectual property rights and interests, upon receipt of income related to such rights and interest.

Significant financial interests do not include the following:

Income from seminars, lectures, or teaching, and service on advisory or review panels for government agencies, Institutions of higher education, academic teaching hospitals, medical centers, or research institutes with an Institution of higher learning; and

Income from investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and retirement accounts, as long as the Investigator does not directly control the investment decisions made in these vehicles.

Require each Investigator to complete training regarding the Institution’s financial conflicts of interest policy prior to engaging in research related to any NIH-funded contract and at least every four years. The Institution must take reasonable steps [see Part 94.4(c)] to ensure that investigators working as collaborators, consultants or subcontractors comply with the regulations.

Modification No. 4

Designate an official(s) to solicit and review disclosures of significant financial interests from each Investigator who is planning to participate in, or is participating in, the NIH-funded research.

Require that each Investigator who is planning to participate in the NIH-funded research disclose to the Institution’s designated official(s) the Investigator’s significant financial interest (and those of the Investigator’s spouse and dependent children) no later than the date of submission of the Institution’s proposal for NIH-funded research. Require that each Investigator who is participating in the NIH-funded research to submit an updated disclosure of significant financial interests at least annually, in accordance with the specific time period prescribed by the Institution during the period of the award as well as within thirty days of discovering or acquiring a new significant financial interest.

Provide guidelines consistent with the regulations for the designated official(s) to determine whether an Investigator’s significant financial interest is related to NIH-funded research and, if so related, whether the significant financial interest is a financial conflict of interest. An Investigator’s significant financial interest is related to NIH-funded research when the Institution, thorough its designated official(s), reasonably determines that the significant financial interest: Could be affected by the NIH-funded research; or is in an entity whose financial interest could be affected by the research. A financial conflict of interest exists when the Institution, through its designated official(s), reasonably determines that the significant financial interest could directly and significantly affect the design, conduct, or reporting of the NIH-funded research.

Take such actions as necessary to manage financial conflicts of interest, including any financial conflicts of a subcontractor Investigator. Management of an identified financial conflict of interest requires development and implementation of a management plan and, if necessary, a retrospective review and mitigation report pursuant to Part 94.5(a).

Provide initial and ongoing FCOI reports to the Contracting Officer pursuant to Part 94.5(b).

Maintain records relating to all Investigator disclosures of financial interests and the Institution’s review of, and response to, such disclosures, and all actions under the Institution’s policy or retrospective review, if applicable, for at least 3 years from the date of final payment or, where applicable, for the other time periods specified in 48CFR Part 4, subpart 4.7, Contract Records Retention.

Establish adequate enforcement mechanisms and provide for employee sanctions or other administrative actions to ensure Investigator compliance as appropriate.

Complete the certification in Section K - Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors titled “Certification of Institutional Policy on Financial Conflicts of Interest”.

Modification No. 4

If the failure of an Institution to comply with an Institution’s financial conflicts of interest policy or a financial conflict of interest management plan appears to have biased the design, conduct, or reporting of the NIH-funded research, the Institution must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of the corrective action taken or to be taken. The Contracting Officer will consider the situation and, as necessary, take appropriate action or refer the matter to the Institution for further action, which may include directions to the Institution on how to maintain appropriate objectivity in the NIH-funded research project.

The Contracting Officer and/or HHS may inquire at any time before, during, or after award into any Investigator disclosure of financial interests, and the Institution’s review of, and response to, such disclosure, regardless of whether the disclosure resulted in the Institution’s determination of a financial conflict of interests. The Contracting Officer may require submission of the records or review them on site. On the basis of this review of records or other information that may be available, the Contracting Officer may decide that a particular financial conflict of interest will bias the objectivity of the NIH-funded research to such an extent that further corrective action is needed or that the Institution has not managed the financial conflict of interest in accordance with Part 94.6(b). The issuance of a Stop Work Order by the Contracting Officer may be necessary until the matter is resolved.

STATEMENT OF WORK (Phase II)


TITLE:		Development of an imaging agent targeting xxxxxx Xxxxx X
PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S):		Xxxxxxxx X Xxxxxx, PhD
PROJECT DURATION:		24 months
COMPANY:		MabVax Therapeutics
SUBCONTRACTORS:		MSKCC, BioReliance

I.	Background Information and Objectives

A.	Background Information

Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease with a 5 year survival rate for all stages combined of only ~4%. Ductal adenocarcinomas account for the majority of those tumors (~95%) and over 80% of individuals are diagnosed late during disease. The outlook for individuals with advanced and metastatic disease is very grim with median survival times of 10 and 6 months, respectively. There is a clear need for new diagnostic tools that allow earlier detection and for improved therapy regiments. We have developed 5B1, a fully human antibody that targets sialyl Xxxxx A, which is highly expressed on adenocarcinomas, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. 5B1 showed promising activity as therapeutic agent in xenografts models, and 89Zr-hu5B1 demonstrated remarkable tumor accumulation and sensitivity in preclinical imaging models. This new agent might detect primary tumors and metastases earlier and have a significant impact on treatment of disease.

B.	Technical Objectives

Proof of concept preclinical studies and preliminary toxicological studies will be completed during the Phase I efforts. The objective of the proposed Phase II efforts has the overall goal to file an exploratory IND (eIND) for a Phase 0/1 clinical study. Several specific objectives must be met to reach the overall goal to file an eIND.


Objective 1: Manufacture and test clinical grade material
	Milestone 1.1:	Demonstrate tumor accumulation, high reproducibility and accuracy in two additional animal models.
	Milestone 1.2:	Generate and characterize a MCB for manufacturing of the imaging agent.
	Milestone 1.3:	Manufacture clinical grade imaging agent.

Objective 2: Complete dosimetry and toxicology studies. Milestone 2.1: Generate report for CMC section.
	Milestone 2.2:	Generate report for pharmacology section.
	Milestone 2.3:	Generate report for toxicology section.

Objective 3: Generate the documentation required for the filing of an eIND
	Milestone 3.1:	Prepare eIND package and submit investigator brochure for IRB review

II.

Cost Incurrence Period: Costs incurred must be within the contract performance period or covered by precontract cost provisions.

Billing of Costs Incurred: If billed costs include (1) costs of a prior billing period, but not previously billed, or (2) costs incurred during the contract period and claimed after the contract period has expired, the Contractor shall cite the amount(s) and month(s) in which the costs were incurred.

Contractor’s Fiscal Year: Prepare payment requests in such a manner that the Government can identify costs claimed with the Contractor’s fiscal year.

Currency: All NIH contracts are expressed in United States dollars. When the Government pays in a currency other than United States dollars, billings shall be expressed, and payment by the Government shall be made, in that other currency at amounts coincident with actual costs incurred. Currency fluctuations may not be a basis of gain or loss to the Contractor. Notwithstanding the above, the total of all invoices paid under this contract shall not exceed the United States dollars authorized.

Costs Requiring Advance Approval: Costs requiring advance approval by the Contracting Officer, which are not set forth in the Contract Schedule shall be identified by the Contracting Officer’s Authorization (COA) Number as a separate expenditure category on the payment request. In addition, the Contractor shall show any cost limitation or ceiling set forth in the Contract Schedule, i.e. an Advance Understanding, as a separate expenditure category on the payment request.

Invoice/Financing Request Identification: Identify each payment as either:

(a)

Interim Invoice/Contract Financing Request: These are interim payment requests submitted during the contract performance period.


NIH(RC-4		Attachment 3
Revised 7/2013

(b)

Completion Invoice: Submit the completion invoice promptly upon completion of the work, but no later than one year from the contract completion date, or within 120 days after settlement of the final indirect cost rates covering the year in which the contract is physically complete (whichever date is later). The Contractor shall submit the completion invoice when all costs have been assigned to the contract and all performance provisions have been completed.

(c)

Final Invoice: A final invoice may be required after the amounts owed have been settled between the Government and the Contractor (e.g., resolution of all suspensions and audit exceptions).

Preparation and Itemization of the Invoice/Financing Request:

The Contractor shall furnish the information set forth in the instructions below. The instructions are keyed to the entries on the Sample Invoice/Financing Request. All information must be legible or the invoice will be considered improper and returned to the Contractor.

(a)

Designated Billing Office Name and Address: Enter the designated billing office name and address, as identified in the Invoice Submission Instructions in Section G of the Contract Schedule.

(b)

Contractor’s Name, Address, Point of Contact, TIN, and DUNS or DUNS+4 Number: Show the Contractor’s name and address exactly as they appear in the contract. Any invoice identified as improper will be sent to this address. Also include the name, title, phone number, and e-mail address of the Point of Contact in case of questions. If the remittance name differs from the legal business name, both names must appear on the invoice. Provide the Contractor’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) or DUNS+4 number. The DUNS number must identify the Contractor’s name and address exactly as stated in the contract, and as registered in the System for Award Management (XXX) database.

When an approved assignment of claims has been executed, the Contractor shall provide the same information for the assignee as is required for the Contractor (i.e., name, address, point of contact, TIN, and DUNS number), with the remittance information clearly identified as such.

(c)

Invoice/Financing Request Number: Identify each payment request by a unique invoice number, which can only be used one time regardless of the number of contracts or orders held by an organization. For example, if a contractor has already submitted invoice number 05 on one of its contracts or orders, it cannot use that same invoice number on any other contract or order. Payment requests with duplicate invoice numbers will be considered improper and returned to the contractor.

The NIH does not prescribe a particular numbering format but suggests using a job or account number for each contract and order followed by a sequential


NIH(RC-4		Attachment 3

If all or part of an invoice is suspended and the contractor chooses to reclaim those costs on a supplemental invoice, the contractor may use the same unique invoice number followed by an alpha character, such as “R” for revised (example: 8675309-05R).

For contracts/orders with options or incremental funding provisions, enter the amount currently obligated and available for payment (where applicable).
