Thousands of cancer compounds that stopped development for portfolio rather than scientific reasons sit unused in university freezers and company archives. A public catalogue listing each asset's mechanism, stage, data, reason for stopping and licensing contact, with a standard research licence and a brokerage function, would let academic and non-profit developers adopt them.
A searchable registry where universities and companies list oncology assets that have stopped development (with mechanism, stage reached, available data, reason for stopping and licensing contact), coupled with a standard non-exclusive research licence and a small brokerage function to match assets with academic groups or non-profit developers. NCATS's discontinued assets programme and AstraZeneca's open innovation portal are partial precedents; the National Cancer Institute's NExT programme has taken up some shelved compounds. Most stopped programmes end for portfolio, not scientific, reasons, and their data are otherwise lost.
