AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) face challenges in delivering therapeutic payloads to immune cells such as T cells, including low delivery efficiency, high toxicity, and difficulty in bypassing in vivo barriers, particularly liver uptake and phagocytic uptake, leading to inaccurate therapeutic distribution and potential toxicity.

Method used

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) containing ionizable lipids and targeting moieties, such as V003, have been developed to encapsulate therapeutic agents and improve T-cell delivery efficiency through specific targeting moieties, reduce hepatic uptake and toxicity, and improve pharmacokinetics and endosomal release by using polyethylene glycol-modified lipids.

Benefits of technology

It significantly improves the delivery efficiency of therapeutic payloads to T cells, reduces hepatic uptake and toxicity, and achieves efficient and safe gene modification and therapeutic effects, such as the effective expression of gene editing systems in the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides conjugates comprising a targeting moiety and a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) encapsulating a therapeutic agent (e.g., a payload) for delivery to an immune cell. The conjugates can ex vivo be delivered to an immune cell, or formulated into a pharmaceutical composition, and can be administered directly to a subject in need (i.e., via in vivo administration).
