[0017] The present disclosure provides a formulation comprising a plurality of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) or non-lipid nanoparticles encapsulating a therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent, or a plurality of conjugation agents conjugated to a therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent wherein the formulation further comprises a hyaluronidase. The therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent may comprise a nucleic acid, an antigen, or a protein. The disclosed formulation is of particular use in the field of gene transfer or gene therapy.

[0018] Messenger RNA therapy (MRT) is becoming an increasingly important approach for the treatment of a variety of diseases. MRT involves administration of a messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutic and / or prophylactic to a subject in need of the therapy for production of the protein encoded by the mRNA within the patient's body. Similarly, small interfering RNA (siRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), PMOs, and other nucleic acids are increasingly used as therapeutic modalities to modulate gene expression or protein levels. DNA-based therapies and self-replicating RNAs also provide opportunities for long-term expression, genome editing, and durable therapeutic benefit. LNPs and / or conjugation agents are commonly used to deliver nucleic acids for efficient in vivo delivery of mRNA, siRNA, or DNA.[00019J Hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid; HA) is a glycosaminoglycan that is found in the extracellular matrix of many cells, especially in soft connective tissues. HA also is found predominantly in skin, cartilage, and in synovial fluid in mammals. Hyaluronan also is the main constituent of the vitreous of the eye.

[0020] Hyaluronidases are enzymes that degrade hyaluronic acid. Six hyaluronidase genes have been identified in the human genome, all of which share homology, both within the paralog and across other vertabrates, including cows. Neutral pH-active hyaluronidases facilitate the dispersion and absorption of molecules through tissue. Furthermore, hyaluronidases can increase the lymphatic absorption profile of co-administered biologies when injected subcutaneously.

[0021] Hyaluronidase has been used for many years for a variety of applications in human clinical medicine, e.g., as an antiedema agent (Lasonil, Thiomucase), as an agent for diffusing medicines which have been injected by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route (Hyaluronidase Choay), as an anti-cancer agent, in formulating local anesthetics (Lewis-Smith, Br. J. Plast. Surg. 1986, 39: 554-558), or else as an agent for reducing myocardial lesions following an infarct.DBl / 162871737.3 7

[0022] There is a need in the art for a formulation comprising a hyaluronidase and a therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent to provide improved absorption and distribution of the therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent, provide reduced inflammation following administration, reduce injection site reactions, enable targeting to the cells in the lymphatic system or other organs, and increase expression and / or knockdown (KD) of a protein modulated by the therapeutic and / or prophylactic agent in a subject in need thereof. There is also an unmet need for formulations that enable larger volumes of LNP or conjugation agent formulations to be administered through various routes of administration, including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intradermal injections. The present disclosure addresses this unmet need.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0092] As used herein the term ‘injection site reaction’ means side effects at or near the spot where the infusion / injection was received. This includes pain or discomfort, redness, swelling, itching, bruising, lumps, infection complications (cellulitis or abscess), and irritation.

[0093] As used herein, “PH20” refers to a type of hyaluronidase that occurs in mammalian sperm and is neutral -active, as well as active at lower pH. PH20 occurs on the sperm surface, and in the lysosome-derived acrosome, where it is bound to the inner acrosomal membrane. PH20 includes those of any origin including, but not limited to, human, chimpanzee, Cynomolgus monkey, Rhesus monkey, murine, bovine, ovine, guinea pig, rabbit and rat origin.

[0094] As used herein, a truncated PH20 hyaluronidase is any C-terminal shortened form thereof, particularly forms that are truncated and neutral active when N-glycosylated and soluble.

[0095] As used herein, a “soluble PH20” refers to any form of PH20 that is soluble under physiologic conditions. A soluble PH20 can be identified, for example, by its partitioning into the aqueous phase of a Triton® X-114 solution at 37 °C (Bordier et al., (1981) J. Biol. Chem., 256: 1604-7). Membrane-anchored PH20, such as lipid-anchored PH20, including GPI-anchored PH20, will partition into the detergent-rich phase, but will partition into the detergent-poor or aqueous phase following treatment with Phospholipase-C. Included among soluble PH20 are membrane-anchored PH20 in which one or more regions associated with anchoring of the PH20 to the membrane has been removed or modified, where the soluble form retains hyaluronidase activity. Soluble PH20 also includes recombinant soluble PH20 and those contained in or purified from natural sources, such as, for example, testes extracts from sheep or cows. Exemplary of such soluble PH20 is soluble human PH20, which include C-terminally truncated human PH20 (truncated at residue 465, 466, 467, 468, . . . 500, with reference to SEQ ID NO: 1, which sets forth full-length PH20). The soluble forms do not include the signal sequence (residues 1-35), and can start at residue 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 42 and terminate at the C-terminus as noted above (with reference to SEQ ID NO: 1). Soluble human PH20 polypeptides, however, are not limited to those produced in CHO cells, but can be produced in any cell or by any method, including recombinant expression and polypeptide synthesis. Reference to secretion by CHO cells is definitional. Hence, if a polypeptide could be expressed and secreted by CHO cells and is soluble, i.e. partitions intoDBl / 162871737.3 14the aqueous phase when extracted with Triton® X-l 14, it is a soluble PH20 polypeptide whether or not it is so-produced. The precursor polypeptides for sHuPH20 polypeptides can include a signal sequence, such as a heterologous or non-heterolog ous (i.e. native) signal sequence.

[0096] As used herein, an “extended soluble PH20” or “esPH20” includes soluble PH20 polypeptides that contain residues up to the GPI anchor-attachment signal sequence and one or more contiguous residues from the GPI-anchor attachment signal sequence such that the esPH20 is soluble under physiological conditions. Exemplary human esPH20 soluble polypeptides are those that have amino acids residues corresponding to amino acids 36-491, 36-492, 36-493, 36- 494, 36-495, 36-496 and 36-497 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Also included are allelic variants and other variants, such as any with 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or greater sequence identity with the corresponding reference polypeptide and that retain neutral activity and are soluble. Reference to sequence identity refers to variants with amino acid substitutions, insertions, and / or deletions.

[0097] As used herein, “infusion related reaction” means a type of adverse event that occurs during or after the administration of a pharmacological or biological substance via infusion. These reactions can range from mild to severe and may involve various body systems. Common symptoms include itching, flushing, rash, hives, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest discomfort, changes in blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, dizziness nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Symptoms may appear within minutes to hours after infusion and usually within 24 hours. Infusion related reactions may also be referred to as hypersensitivity reactions or administration related reactions.

[0098] As used herein the term “rHuPH20” refers to the soluble hyaluronidase composition produced upon expression in a mammalian cell, such as a CHO cell, or other cell that effects glycosylation, of nucleic acid encoding residues 36-482 of SEQ ID NO:1. For expression in cells the encoding nucleic acid is linked to the native (residues 1-35 of SEQ ID NO: 1 ) or a heterologous signal sequence for trafficking and secretion of the encoded polypeptides. The resulting secreted soluble glycoprotein is a heterogeneous mixture of polypeptides, including polypeptides that terminate at residues 479, 480, 481, and 482, and are composed of residues 36-479, 36-480, 36- 481, and 36-482 with reference to SEQ ID NO:1. Shorter C-terminally truncated forms also may be included. Typically, rHuPH20 is produced in cells, such as CHO cells, for example DG44 CHO cells) that facilitate N-glycosylation.DBl / 162871737.3 15

[0099] As used herein, “purified bovine testicular hyaluronidase” refers to a bovine hyaluronidase purified from bovine testicular extracts (see U.S. Patent Nos. 2,488,564, 2,488,565, 2,806,815, 2,808,362, 2,676,139, 2,795,529, 5,747,027 and 5,827,721). Examples of commercially available purified bovine testicular hyaluronidases include those sold as Amphadase® and Hydase™, and bovine hyaluronidases, including, but not limited to, those available from Sigma Aldrich, Abnova, EMD Chemicals, GenWay Biotech, Inc., Raybiotech, Inc., and Calzyme. Also included are recombinantly produced bovine hyaluronidases.

[0100] As used herein, “purified ovine testicular hyaluronidase” refers to an ovine hyaluronidase purified from ovine testicular extracts (see U.S. Patent Nos. 2,488,564, 2,488,565 and 2,806,815 and International PCT Publication No. W02005 / 118799). Examples of commercially available purified ovine testicular extract include Vitrase®, and ovine hyaluronidases, including, but not limited to, those available from Sigma Aldrich, Cell Sciences, EMD Chemicals, GenWay Biotech, Inc., Mybiosource.com and Raybiotech, Inc. Also included are recombinantly produced ovine hyaluronidases.

[0101] As used herein, an “N-linked moiety” refers to an asparagine (N) amino acid residue of a polypeptide that is capable of being glycosylated by post-translational modification of a polypeptide. Exemplary N-linked moi eties of human PH20 include amino acids N82, N166, N235, N254, N368 and N393 of human PH20 set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.

[0102] As used herein, an “N-glycosylated polypeptide” refers to a PH20 polypeptide or truncated form thereto containing oligosaccharide linkage of at least three N-linked amino acid residues, for example, N-linked moi eties corresponding to amino acid residues N235, N368 and N393 of SEQ ID NO: 1. An N-glycosylated polypeptide can include a polypeptide where three, four, five and up to all of the N-linked moieties are linked to an oligosaccharide. The N-linked oligosaccharides can include oligo-mannose, complex, hybrid or sulfated oligosaccharides, or other oligosaccharides and monosaccharides.

[0103] As used herein, hyaluronidase refers to a class of hyaluronan degrading enzymes. Hyaluronidases include bacterial hyaluronidases (EC 4.2.2.1 or EC 4.2.99.1), hyaluronidases from leeches, other parasites, and crustaceans (EC 3.2.1.36), and mammalian-type hyaluronidases (EC 3.2.1.35). Hyaluronidases include human hyaluronidases as described herein, and any of nonhuman origin including, but not limited to, murine, canine, feline, leporine, avian, bovine, ovine, porcine, equine, piscine, ranine, bacterial, and any from leeches, other parasites, and crustaceans.DBl / 162871737.3 16Also included amongst hyaluronidases are soluble hyaluronidases, including, ovine and bovine PH20, soluble human PH20 and soluble rHuPH20. Examples of commercially available bovine and ovine soluble hyaluronidases include those sold under the following trademarks Vitrase® (ovine hyaluronidase), Amphadase® (bovine hyaluronidase) and Hydase® (bovine hyaluronidase).

[0104] As used herein, “hyaluronidase activity” refers to the ability to enzymatically catalyse the cleavage of hyaluronic acid. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) XXII assay for hyaluronidase determines hyaluronidase activity indirectly by measuring the amount of higher molecular weight hyaluronic acid, or hyaluronan, (HA) substrate remaining after the enzyme is allowed to react with the HA for 30 min at 37 °C (USP XXII-NF XVII (1990) 644-645 United States Pharmacopeia Convention, Inc, Rockville, MD). A Reference Standard solution can be used in an assay to ascertain the relative activity, in units, of any hyaluronidase. In vitro assays to determine the hyaluronidase activity of hyaluronidases, such as PH20, including soluble PH20 and esPH20, are known in the art and described herein. Exemplary assays include the micro turbidity assay that measures cleavage of hyaluronic acid by hyaluronidase indirectly by detecting the insoluble precipitate formed when the uncleaved hyaluronic acid binds with serum albumin and the biotinylated-hyaluronic acid assay that measures the cleavage of hyaluronic acid indirectly by detecting the remaining biotinylated-hyaluronic acid non-covalently bound to microtiter plate wells with a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate and a chromogenic substrate. Reference Standards can be used, for example, to generate a standard curve to determine the activity in Units of the hyaluronidase being tested. Another exemplary assay includes a hyaluronidase activity assay that uses native (non-biotinylated) HA, non-covalently bound to microtiter plate wells and the remaining substrate after digestion is detected by the use of biotinylated HA binding protein TSG6-Fc, followed by SA-HRP and chromogenic substrate.

[0105] As used herein, specific activity refers to Units (U) of activity per milligram (mg) of protein unless specified otherwise. The concentration of hyaluronidase is defined by the absorption of a solution thereof at 280 nm, assuming a molar extinction coefficient of approximately 1.7, in units of M-1 cm-1.

[0106] As used herein, “neutral active” refers to the ability of a PH20 polypeptide to enzymatically catalyse the cleavage of hyaluronic acid at neutral pH (e.g. at or about pH 7.0 or at a pH between about pH 6.0 to about pH 7.8).DBl / 162871737.3 17

[0107] As used herein, a “GPI-anchor attachment signal sequence” is a C-terminal sequence of amino acids that directs addition of a preformed GPI-anchor to the polypeptide within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). GPI-anchor attachment signal sequences are present in the precursor polypeptides of GPI-anchored polypeptides, such as GPI-anchored PH20 polypeptides. The C-terminal GPI-anchor attachment signal sequence typically contains a predominantly hydrophobic region of 8-20 amino acids, preceded by a hydrophilic spacer region of 8-12 amino acids, immediately downstream of the co-site, or site of GPI-anchor attachment. GPI-anchor attachment signal sequences can be identified using methods well known in the art, such as but not limited to, in silico methods and algorithms (see, e.g. Udenfriend et al. (1995) Methods Enzymol. 250:571-582, Eisenhaber et al., (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 292: 741-758, Fankhauser et al., (2005) Bioinformatics 21: 1846-1852, Omaetxebarria et al., (2007) Proteomics 7: 1951-1960, Pierleoni etal., (2008) BMC Bioinformatics 9:392), including those that are readily available on bioinformatic websites, such as the ExPASy Proteomics tools site (e.g. the World Wide Web site expasy.ch / tools / ).

[0108] As used herein, sequence identity refers to the relatedness between or among polypeptides among nucleic acid molecules. Sequence identity can be assessed by aligning two sequences and counting the number of differences between the aligned portion and the sequence to which it is compared. Whether any two molecules have nucleotide sequences or amino acid sequences that are at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% “identical” or “homologous” can be determined using known computer algorithms such as the “FASTA” program, using for example, the default parameters as in Pearson (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:2444 (other programs include the GCG program package (Devereux (1984) Nucleic Acids Research 12:387), BLASTP, BLASTN, FASTA (Altschul (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403); Guide to Huge Computers, Bishop, ed., Academic Press, 1994, and Carrillo (1988) SIAM J. Applied Math 48: 1073). For example, the BLAST function of the National Center for Biotechnology Information database can be used to determine identity. Other commercially or publicly available programs include, DNAStar “MegAlign” program and the University of Wisconsin Genetics Computer Group (UWG) “Gap” program. Percent homology or identity of proteins and / or nucleic acid molecules can be determined, for example, by comparing sequence information using a GAP computer program (e.g. Needleman (1970) J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, as revised by Smith and Waterman (1981) Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482. Briefly, the GAP program defines similarity as the number of aligned symbols (i.e. nucleotides or amino acids), which are similar, divided by the totalDBl / 162871737.3 18number of symbols in the shorter of the two sequences. Default parameters for the GAP program can include: (1) a unary comparison matrix (containing a value of 1 for identities and 0 for non-identities) and the weighted comparison matrix of Gribskov (1986) Nucl. Acids Res. 14:6745, as described by Schwartz and Dayhoff, eds., Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, National Biomedical Research Foundation, pp. 353-358 (1979); (2) a penalty of 3.0 for each gap and an additional 0.10 penalty for each symbol in each gap; and (3) no penalty for end gaps.[00109J Therefore, as used herein, the term “identity” or “homology” represents a comparison between a test and a reference polypeptide or polynucleotide.

[0110] As used herein, the term at least “90% identical to” refers to percent identities from 90 to 99.99 relative to the reference nucleic acid or amino acid sequence of the polypeptide. Identity at a level of 90% or more is indicative of the fact that, assuming for exemplification purposes a test and reference polypeptide length of 100 amino acids are compared. No more than 10% (i.e. 10 out of 100) of the amino acids in the test polypeptide differs from that of the reference polypeptide. Similar comparisons can be made between test and reference polynucleotides. Such differences can be represented as point mutations randomly distributed over the entire length of a polypeptide or they can be clustered in one or more locations of varying length up to the maximum allowable, e.g. 10 / 100 amino acid difference (approximately 90% identity). Differences are defined as nucleic acid or amino acid substitutions, insertions or deletions. At the level of homologies or identities above about 85-90%, the result should be independent of the program and gap parameters set; such high levels of identity can be assessed readily, often by manual alignment without relying on software.

[0111] As used herein, an aligned sequence refers to the use of homology (similarity and / or identity) to align corresponding positions in a sequence of nucleotides or amino acids. Typically, two or more sequences that are related by 50% or more identity are aligned. An aligned set of sequences refers to 2 or more sequences that are aligned at corresponding positions and can include aligning sequences derived from RNAs, such as ESTs and other cDNAs, aligned with genomic DNA sequence.

[0112] As used herein, “denaturing condition” or “denaturation condition” refers to any condition or agent that, when exposed to a protein, affects or influences the degradation or denaturation of the protein, generally as a result of a loss or partial loss of the tertiary or secondaryDBl / 162871737.3 19structure of the protein. Denaturing conditions can result in effects such as loss or reduction in activity, loss or reduction of solubility, aggregation and / or crystallization.

[0113] As used herein, “resistance to a denaturation condition” refers to any amount of decreased reduction or elimination of a property or activity of the protein associated with or caused by denaturation. For example, denaturation is associated with or causes increased crystallization or aggregation, reduced solubility or decreased activity. Hence, resistance to denaturation means that the protein exhibits decreased aggregation or crystallization, increased solubility or increased or greater activity (e.g. hyaluronidase activity) when exposed to a denaturing condition compared to a reference protein (e.g. unmodified enzyme).

[0114] As used herein, stability of a modified PH20 hyaluronidase means that it exhibits resistance to denaturation caused by a denaturation condition or denaturing agent.

[0115] As used herein, a “payload” is an active substance (e.g., a therapeutic agent, prophylactic agent, nucleic acid or a product thereof, or diagnostic compound) that is transported by a delivery system to a target site within the body. The delivery system (which can be thought of as the “vehicle”) may include nanoparticles, viral vectors, liposomes, antibody-drug conjugates, antibody, protein, peptide, or any fragment thereof. The payload, as used herein, is distinct from the structural or functional components of the delivery mechanism and in various embodiments ensures stability, targets specificity, and controls release of the therapeutic agent.

[0116] As used herein, a “linker” is a chemical or molecular segment that covalently or non-covalently joins two or more biomolecules (e.g., proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and small molecules) into a single functional entity. This connecting component is designed to provide structural flexibility, maintain stability, and often incorporate specific cleavage sites to enable controlled interactions or the release of connected components when required. Linkers can be an essential modular component used to connect two or more biomolecules without interfering with their individual functions. Its design can be customized for flexibility, fixed orientation, or controlled release, depending on the application. Whether in fusion proteins, ADCs, or nucleic acid constructs, the incorporation of an appropriate linker preserves the biological activity, enhancing stability, and achieving targeted interactions in a range of biomedical applications.

[0117] As used herein, a “tissue” is a structurally organized group of similar cells and their associated extracellular matrix that work together to perform specific functions vital for an organism’s survival. The structural and functional complexities of tissues underpin theDBl / 162871737.3 20formation of organs and the integrated systems that sustain life, making them a central subject in biomedical research and tissue engineering.

[0118] As used herein, “blood” or “whole blood” is the complete fluid circulating in the body, composed of formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) suspended in plasma. It is a vital bodily fluid in humans and most animals that delivers essential substances, such as oxygen, nutrients, and hormones, to cells while removing waste products like carbon dioxide and toxins. It is composed of plasma (a liquid that contains water, proteins, and other dissolved substances) and cellular components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood circulates through the body via the cardiovascular system, driven by the pumping action of the heart. It plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis, immune defense, and regulating body temperature. In embodiments of the present disclosure, “blood” may be used to refer to serum or plasma. One of skill in the art would understand that the analytical measurements used herein, including pharmacokinetic measurements such as AUC, Tmax, and Cmax, may use the term “blood” when referring to serum or plasma.

[0119] As used herein, “plasma” is the liquid matrix of blood, primarily composed of water, and containing proteins, salts, hormones, nutrients, waste products, and clotting factors (like fibrinogen) responsible for transporting blood cells and various substances throughout the body. Plasma is the liquid component of blood that serves as the medium for transporting nutrients, hormones, waste products, and other substances throughout the body. It makes up about 55% of total blood volume and consists primarily of water (about 90%), along with dissolved proteins (such as albumin, fibrinogen, and globulins), electrolytes, glucose, lipids, gases (like oxygen and carbon dioxide), and waste products. Plasma also contains clotting factors, which play a crucial role in blood coagulation. It is essential for maintaining blood pressure, regulating body temperature, and supporting the immune system by transporting antibodies and other defense molecules.

[0120]

[0121] As used herein, “serum” refers to the fluid component of blood that remains after coagulation has occurred and the clotting factors have been consumed in the formation of a clot. Serum is distinct from plasma in that it lacks clotting proteins such as fibrinogen, but otherwise contains substantially similar soluble constituents as plasma, including electrolytes, hormones, antibodies, and proteins such as albumin..DBl / 162871737.3 21

[0122] As used herein, “therapeutically effective dose” (TED) is the amount of a drug, therapeutic agent, or prophylactic agent that produces at least one intended beneficial effect in a patient under defined clinical conditions. This dose is determined during clinical development and is critical for achieving the desired therapeutic outcome while minimizing adverse effects. As used herein, the term “therapeutic agent” refers to any compound, composition, molecule, macromolecule, or biological material that produces a beneficial effect in the treatment, management, or amelioration of a disease, disorder, or condition in a subject.

Prophylactic agents include, but are not limited to, vaccines, nucleic acids (e g., mRNA, DNA, self-replicating RNA), proteins, peptides, antigens, antibodies, antibody fragments, aptamers, small molecules, carbohydrates, lipids, and combinations thereof. The term “prophylactic agent” may be used synonymously and interchangeably with the term “prophylactic.” In certain contexts, it is understood that the term “therapeutic agent” may be used broadly as an umbrella term understood to include therapeutic agents and / or prophylactic agents for the sake of clarity and conciseness.

[0124] As used herein, the term “therapeutic agent” or “therapeutic composition” can further refer to an agent or composition that provides a desired biological or pharmacological effect when administered to a human or animal. The therapeutic agent or composition may be a small molecule, biological agent, protein, antibody, mimetibody, mAb, antibody fragment (including a diabody, triabody, or tetrabody), peptide, polypeptide, enzyme, nucleotide, DNA fragment, RNA fragment, plasmid fragment, nucleotide fragment, gene therapy vector, virus, mRNA, nucleic acid conjugate, oligonucleotide, antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide (PMO), aptamer, siRNA, RNAi, miRNA,DBl / 162871737.3 22DNA, self-replicating RNA (replicons), Naked RNA, Circular RNA (circRNA), Trans-activating crRNA (TracrRNA), and gene editingor mixtures thereof.

[0125] As used herein, the term “equivalent dose” refers to the amount of a therapeutic agent that, when administered, produces a comparable level of clinical effect — be it efficacy or toxicity — to a reference treatment. This ensures consistent patient outcomes, particularly in the evaluation of generic products and the adjustment of dosing regimens for individualized therapies. An equivalent dose can be the actual equivalent dose to a reference treatment or a similar dose to a reference treatment. In non-limiting examples, a similar dose can be 80% to 125%, 85% to 120%, 90% to 115%, 95% to 110%, 95% to 105%, or 100% of the reference treatment dose.

[0126] As used herein, “area under the curve (AUC)” refers to the area under a curve of the plasma or serum concentration versus time, indicative of the systemic exposure to the drug over a defined period of time. The measured AUC value is dependent on a specific interval of time duration over which plasma or serum concentrations are measured and reflects the extent of drug absorption and bioavailability within that specified duration interval.

[0127] As used herein, “maximum concentration (Cmax)” refers to the maximum systemic exposure of the drug achieved after administration, reflecting the peak plasma or serum concentration of the drug at a single time point. The value of Cmax is dependent on factors that influence the rate and extent of drug absorption, including but not limited to the administered dose and the route of administration (e g., subcutaneous, intravenous, oral).

[0128] As used herein, “subject” refers to an individual, organism, or entity that is being studied, observed, or experimented upon. Subjects can range from mammals (e.g., humans and non-human primates), birds, reptiles, amphibians, and other species.

[0129] As used herein, “antibody” refers to a molecule which comprises or contains: (a) one or more immunoglobulin variable domains; or (b) fragments, variants, modifications or derivatives of such immunoglobulin variable domains irrespective of origin or source, including but not limited to antigen binding portions including Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fv, dAb and CDR fragments, single chain antibodies (scFv), chimeric antibodies, monospecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, diabodies and polypeptides (including humanized versions thereof) that contain at least a portion of an immunoglobulin that is sufficient to confer specific antigen binding to a polypeptide.DBl / 162871737.3 23

[0130] As used herein, “antibody-drug-conjugate” or “ADC” or “Total ADC” is a specialized molecule composed of an antibody, which is designed to target specific cell types, chemically linked to one or more payloads that can be cytotoxic or have other therapeutic effects. ADCs also include one or more linkers that connect the antibody to the payload(s), enabling precise delivery of the therapeutic agent to the target cells or tissues.

[0131] As used herein, “site of administration” refers to the specific anatomical location where a therapeutic agent, such as a drug or biologic, is introduced into the body for absorption or action. This can encompass various layers of tissue depending on the route of delivery, including the epidermis (outermost layer of the skin), dermis (middle layer containing connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves), hypodermis (also known as the subcutaneous tissue, which consists of fat and connective tissue beneath the dermis), and the subcutaneous space (the broader region within the hypodermis where subcutaneous injections are typically administered). The site of administration can be chosen based on factors such as the formulation of a drug selected to be administered, the desired absorption rate, and patient-specific considerations.

[0132] As used herein, the term “anionic lipid” means a lipid that is negatively charged at physiological pH. These lipids may include, but are not limited to, phosphatidylglycerols, cardiolipins, diacylphosphatidylserines, diacylphosphatidic acids, N-dodecanoyl phosphatidylethanolamines, N-succinyl phosphatidylethanolamines, N- glutarylphosphatidylethanolamines, lysylphosphatidylglycerols, palmitoylol eyolphosphatidylglycerol (POPG), and other anionic modifying groups joined to neutral lipids.

[0133] As used herein, term “cationic lipid” means amphiphilic lipids and salts thereof having a positive, hydrophilic head group; one, two, three, or more hydrophobic fatty acid or fatty alkyl chains; and a connector between these two domains. An ionizable or protonatable cationic lipid is typically protonated (e.g., positively charged) at a pH below its pKaand is substantially neutral at a pH above the pKa. Preferred ionizable cationic lipids are those having a pKa that is less than physiological pH, which is typically about 7.4. The cationic lipids of the disclosure may also be termed titratable cationic lipids. The cationic lipids can be an “amino lipid” having a protonatable tertiary amine (e.g., pH-titratable) head group. Some amino exemplary amino lipid can include Cis alkyl chains, wherein each alkyl chain independently has 0 to 3 (e.g., 0, 1, 2, or 3)DBl / 162871737.3 24double bonds; and ether, ester, or ketal linkages between the head group and alkyl chains. Such cationic lipids include, but are not limited to, DSDMA, DODMA, DLinDMA, DLenDMA, y- DLenDMA, DLin-K-DMA, DLin-K-C2-DMA (also known as DLin-C2K-DMA, XTC2, and C2K), DLin-K-C3 -DM A, DLin-K-C4-DMA, DLen-C2K-DMA, y-DLen-C2K-DMA, DLin-M- C2-DMA (also known as MC2), DLin-M-C3 -DMA (also known as MC3) and DLin-MP- DMA (also known as 1 -Bl 1).

[0134] As used herein, term “fully encapsulated” means that the nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA, siRNA, DNA, and so on) in the nucleic acid-lipid particle is adequately sequestered within the particle such that exposure to a serum or nuclease assay (e g.., containing components that would significantly degrade free nucleic acid) does not demonstrate significant degradation of the nucleic acid. The nucleic acid is considered “adequately sequestered” (and accordingly, fully encapsulated) in response to a measured degradation result of preferably less than 25% degradation, more preferably less than 10% degradation, and most preferably, less than 5% degradation of the nucleic acid in the particle following exposure to a treatment that can degrade 100% of a free nucleic acid control. As used herein, “fully encapsulated” can also refer to nucleic acid-lipid particles that do not rapidly decompose into their component parts upon in vivo administration.

[0161] For clarity of disclosure, and not by way of limitation, the detailed description is divided into the subsections that follow.B. Hyaluronidases

[0162] Hyaluronidases are a family of enzymes that degrade hyaluronan. The three main types of hyaluronidases are two classes of eukaryotic endoglycosidase hydrolases and a prokaryotic lyase-type of glycosidase. Hyaluronidases are hyaluronoglucosidases, which means they cleave the (1 — 4)-l inkages between N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronate. The term hyaluronidase may also refer to hyaluronoglucuronidases, which cleave ( l ^3)-linkages. Further, bacterial hyaluronate lyases may also be referred to as hyaluronidases.

[0163] Neutral active hyaluronidases are endoglycosidases used to increase the dispersion and absorption of other co-administered drugs when administered subcutaneously (e.g., subcutaneous injections, subcutaneous infusion such as hypodermoclysis). Hyaluronidases include, but are not limited to, bacterial hyaluronidases (EC 4.2.2.1 or EC 4.2.99.1), hyaluronidases from leeches, other parasites and crustaceans (EC 3.2.1.36), and mammalian-type hyaluronidases (EC 3.2.1.35).

[0164] Hyaluronidases include those of non-human origin including, but not limited to, murine, canine, feline, leporine, avian, bovine, ovine, porcine, equine, piscine, ranine, bacterial, and any from leeches, other parasites, and crustaceans. Exemplary human hyaluronidases include HYAL1, HYAL2, HYAL3, HYAL4, and PH20.

[0165] Soluble hyaluronidase polypeptides, such as soluble forms of PH20, are of interest herein. Soluble PH20 hyaluronidases include, ovine and bovine PH20, and soluble forms of human PH20. Exemplary hyaluronidases are the soluble human PH20 polypeptides and variants that are soluble and active.1. Soluble Hyaluronidases

[0166] Soluble hyaluronidases include any that, upon expression, are secreted from a cell and exist in soluble form. Such soluble hyaluronidases include, for example, but are not limited to, bacterial soluble hyaluronidases, non-human soluble hyaluronidases, such as bovine PH20 and ovine PH20, human soluble PH20, and variants thereof. Generally soluble forms of PH20 areDBl / 162871737.3 30produced using protein expression systems that facilitate correct N-glycosylation to ensure the polypeptide retains activity, since glycosylation is important for the catalytic activity and stability of hyaluronidases. Such cells include, for example Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells (e.g. DG44 CHO cells).

[0167] Soluble PH20 hyaluronidase is available and sold, for example, under the trademark ENHANZE®. ENHANZE® technology provides to a drug delivery technology, employing the soluble hyaluronidases to facilitate the delivery of injected drugs and fluids. When co-formulated with other drugs or administered with other drugs, the ENHANZE® technology reduces treatment burden for patients. It can allow for large volume subcutaneous injections with increased dispersion and absorption of co-administered therapies.

[0168] rHuPH20 refers to the composition produced upon expression in a cell, such as CHO cell, of nucleic acid encoding residues 36-482 of SEQ ID NO: 26, generally linked to the native or a heterologous signal sequence (residues 1-35 of SEQ ID NO: 26). rHuPH20 is produced by expression of a nucleic acid molecule, such as encoding amino acids 1-482 (set forth in SEQ ID NO: 26) in a mammalian cell. Translational processing removes the 35 amino acid signal sequence. As produced in the culture medium there is heterogeneity at the C-terminus such that the product, designated rHuPH20, includes a mixture of species that can include any one or more of the polypeptides 36-480, 36-481, and 36-482 of SEQ ID NO: 26, and some shorter polypeptides, in various abundance. rHuPH20 and forms of soluble hyaluronidase are produced in cells, such as CHO cells, for example DG44 CHO cells, that facilitate N-glycosylation. PH20 is a glycoprotein, and as known in the art, requires glycosylation retain activity. See, e.g. U.S. Patent Nos. 8,927,249 and 9,284,543 (and PCT Publication No. WO 2010 / 077297), which describe the effects of glycosylation and partial glycosylation and elimination of glycosylation on the activity of soluble forms of PH20. These patents and publications also describe and exemplify I soluble C-terminally truncated forms of PH20.2. Forms of Soluble Human PH 20

[0169] Soluble hyaluronidases include bovine and ovine PH20, and recombinant and humanized forms thereof. Human PH20 in nature includes a GPI anchor and exists linked to sperm cells; it is not soluble. C-terminally-truncated forms thereof are soluble. Soluble forms of recombinant human PH20 have been produced and can be used in the compositions, combinations and methods described herein. Descriptions of and production of such solubleDBl / 162871737.3 31forms ofPH20 are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,767,429; 8,202,517; 8,431 ,380; 8,431,124; 8,450,470; 8,765,685; 8,772,246; 7,871,607; 7,846,431; 7,829,081; 8,105,586; 8,187,855; 8,257,699; 8,580,252; 9,677,061; and 9,677,062, each incorporated by reference herein. The soluble hyaluronidases, thus include forms of human PH20, which are neutral active hyaluronidases and which require glycosylation for activity.

[0170] SEQ ID NO: 1 sets forth the sequence of the precursor polypeptides; the mature PH20 polypeptide (residues 36-509); soluble forms also include those with amino acid truncations at the N-terminal, such as deletions of the first one, two, three, or fours residues, such that the resulting polypeptides have an N-terminus, for example, at residue 36, 37, 38, 39, or 40, and a C-terminus at a residue from 465 to 500, and variants thereof, including, but not limited to, variants discussed below, variants known in the art, and allelic variants.

[0171] Hyaluronidases for use in the compositions, combinations and methods herein are soluble neutral active hyaluronidases. Exemplary thereof are the soluble C-terminally truncated forms of mature human PH20. Soluble forms that have hyaluronidase activity, include but are not limited to, those that are truncated at residues from 465 to 500 of sequence ID No.1, and that are, upon expression, secreted. Exemplary thereof are polypeptides that have sequence 36-465 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-466 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-467 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-468 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-469 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-470 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-471 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-472 of SEQ ID NO: 1 , 36-474 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-475 of SEQ ID NO: 1 , 36-476 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-477 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-478 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-479 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-480 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-481 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-482 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-483 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-484 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-485 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-486 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-487 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-488 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-489 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-490 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-491 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-492 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-493 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-494 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-495 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-496 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-497 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-498 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-499 of SEQ ID NO: 1, and 36-500 of SEQ ID NO:1, as well as N-terminally truncated forms of each of the preceding that lack two to five residues at the N-terminus, such as for example 37-368 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 38-468 of SEQ ID NO: 1, and any others that exhibit hyaluronidase activity at neutral pH, such as pH in the range of 7.0-7.4.

[0172] Thus, such soluble forms include truncated forms of the mature form of human PH20 lacking all or a portion of the C-terminal GPI anchor, so long as the hyaluronidase isDBl / 162871737.3 32soluble and retains hyaluronidase activity. Soluble forms are secreted upon expression in mammalian cells, and are encoded with a signal sequence, such are residues 1-35 of SEQ ID NO. 1 or a heterologous signal sequence that is cleaved by the cell to effect secretion. Soluble forms are forms that, when expressed in a cell, lack the signal peptide. Also included among soluble hyaluronidases are variants of the soluble PH20 polypeptides that exhibit hyaluronidase activity. Variants include polypeptides having at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more sequence identity to any of the PH20 polypeptides 36-465 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-466 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-467 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-468 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-469, 35-470 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-471 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-472 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-474 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-475 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-476 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-477 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-478 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-479 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-480 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-481 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-482 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-483 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-484 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-485 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-486 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-487 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-488 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-489 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-490 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-491 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-492 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-493 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-494 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-495 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-496 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-497 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 35-498 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 36-499 of SEQ ID NO: 1, and 36-500 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Amino acid variants include conservative and non-conservative insertions, or deletions, or replacements, and include the modifications, singly or combinations of the modifications detailed, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 11,041, 149 and International PCT publication No. WO 2013 / 102144. U.S. Patent No. 11,041,149 and International PCT publication No. WO 2013 / 102144 describe a systematic analysis and results identifying the effects of amino acid modifications at each residue in PH20 to thereby provide a structure / function map of PH20; a skilled person can identify replacement residues and consequent alterations in properties and activities, such as for effecting increases in enzymatic activity, stability in denaturing conditions, and also residues whose replacement or deletion decreases or eliminates enzymatic activity.

[0173] It is understood that residues that are important or otherwise required for the activity of a hyaluronidase, such as any described above or known to those of skill in the art, are generally invariant and, except for possible conservative amino acid substitutions, cannot be changed. These include, for example, active site residues. For example, amino acid residues 111, 113 and 176 (corresponding to residues in the mature PH20 polypeptide) of a human PH20 polypeptide, or soluble form thereof, are generally invariant and are not altered. Other residuesDBl / 162871737.3 33that confer glycosylation and formation of disulfide bonds required for proper folding also can be invariant.

[0174] The soluble human PH20 hyaluronidase is GPI-anchored and is rendered soluble by truncation at the C-terminus by removal of all or a part of the GPI anchor. Such truncation can remove all of the GPI anchor attachment sequence or can remove only some of the GPI anchor attachment sequence. The resulting polypeptide, however, is soluble. In instances where the soluble hyaluronidase retains a portion of the GPI anchor attachment signal sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or more amino acid residues in the GPI anchor attachment signal sequence can be retained, provided the polypeptide is soluble. Polypeptides containing one or more amino acids of the GPI anchor are termed extended soluble hyaluronidases. One of skill in the art can determine whether a polypeptide is GPI-anchored using methods well known in the art. Such methods include, but are not limited to, using known algorithms to predict the presence and location of the GPI anchor attachment signal sequence and co-site, and performing solubility analyses before and after digestion with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) or D (PI-PLD).[00175J Extended soluble hyaluronidases, which terminate for example, at residues 495, 496, 497, 498, 499, and 500, with reference to SEQ ID NO:1, can be produced by making C- terminal truncations to any naturally GPI-anchored hyaluronidase such that the resulting polypeptide is soluble and contains one or more amino acid residues from the GPI anchor attachment signal sequence (see, e.g. U.S. Patent No. 8,927,249). These include hyaluronidases that are neutral active, soluble, contain amino acid substitutions, and have at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%.

[0176] Typically, for use in the compositions, combinations and methods herein, a soluble human hyaluronidase, such as a soluble human PH20, is used, such as a PH20 and variants having, for example, at least 91% or 95% or 98% sequence identity thereto, including those with 1 to 5 N-terminal residues deleted. Hyaluronidases used in the regimens, combinations, compositions, and methods herein can be recombinantly produced or can be purified or partially purified from natural sources, such as, for example, from testes extracts. Methods for production of recombinant proteins, including recombinant hyaluronidases, are well known in the art.DBl / 162871737.3 34

Soluble forms of human PH20 generally include those that contain amino acids 36-464 set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and terminate at any of residues, 465-500 and optionally include a 1-3 amino acid deletion at the N-terminus (i.e. lack residues 36, 36-37, or 36-38 of SEQ ID NO: 1). For example, when expressed in mammalian cells, the 35 amino acid N-terminal signal sequence (residues 1-35 of SEQ ID NO: 1) is cleaved during processing, and a soluble form of the protein is secreted. Thus, the mature soluble polypeptides include those that contain amino acids 36 to 467 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 468 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 469 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 470 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 471 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 472 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 473 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 474 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 475 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 476 of SEQ ID NO: 1, 477 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 9), 478 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 8), 479 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 7), 480 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 6), 481 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 5), 482 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e , SEQ ID NO: 4), 483 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 46), and up to and including 500 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Exemplary of soluble hyaluronidases are soluble human PH20 polypeptides that are 442 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 9), 443 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 8), 444 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 7), 445 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 6), 446 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 5) or 447 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 4) amino acids in length, such as set forth those set forth above, and variants thereof that have, for example, at least 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% sequence identity thereto and retains hyaluronidase activity. The generation of such soluble forms of recombinant human PH20 are described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 7,767,429; 8,202,517; 8,431,380; 8,431,124; 8,450,470; 8,765,685; 8,772,246; 7,871,607; 7,846,431; 7,829,081; 8,105,586; 8,187,855; 8,257,699; 8,580,252; 9,677,061; and 9,677,062.

[0178] Generally soluble forms of PH20 are produced using protein expression systems that facilitate correct N-glycosylation to ensure the polypeptide retains activity, since glycosylation is important for the catalytic activity and stability of hyaluronidases. Such cells include, for example Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells (e.g. DG44 CHO cells).

[0179] The composition that recombinantly produced from mammalian cells, such as CHO cells, has been referred to rHuPH20. It refers to the composition produced upon expression in a cell, such as CHO cell, of nucleic acid encoding residues 36-482 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 4), generally linked to the native (residues 1-35 of SEQ ID NO: 1; residues 1-482 of SEQ ID NO: 1 are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3) or a heterologous signal sequence. rHuPH20 isDBl / 162871737.3 36produced by expression of a nucleic acid molecule, such as encoding amino acids 1-482 (set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1; residues 1-482 of SEQ ID NO: 1 are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 3) or 36 to 482 (residues 36-482 of SEQ ID NO: 1 are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 4) with a heterologous signal sequence. Post translational processing removes the 35 amino acid signal sequence, resulting in polypeptide or a mixture of polypeptides, including those set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 4-8. As produced in the culture medium there is heterogeneity at the C-terminus such that the product, designated rHuPH20, includes a mixture of species that can include any one or more of SEQ ID NOs: 4-8 in various abundance. Generally, the soluble hyaluronidases, rHuPH20 is produced in cells that facilitate correct N-glycosylation to retain activity, such as CHO cells (e.g. DG44 CHO cells). Human soluble PH20 hyaluronidase requires glycosylation for activity. When produced recombinantly from a vector encoding residues 36-582, the most abundant species is the 446 amino acid polypeptides corresponding to residues 36-481 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 5). The particular distribution of resulting polypeptides can depend upon the particular method of production. An exemplary method for production of high levels of PH20 is detailed, for example in U.S. Patent Nos. 8,187,855 and 8,343,487.3. Glycosylation of Hyaluronidases

[0180] Glycosylation, including N- and O-linked glycosylation, of some hyaluronidases, including the soluble PH20 hyaluronidases, can be important for their catalytic activity and stability. For some hyaluronidases, removal of N-linked glycosylation can result in near complete inactivation of the hyaluronidase activity. For such hyaluronidases, the presence of N- linked glycans can be important for generating an active enzyme.

[0181] N-linked oligosaccharides fall into several primary types (oligomannose, complex, hybrid, sulfated), all of which have (Man) 3-GlcNAc-GlcNAc- cores attached via the amide nitrogen of Asn residues that fall within -Asn-Xaa-Thr / Ser-sequences (where Xaa is not Pro). Glycosylation at an -Asn-Xaa-Cys-site has been reported for coagulation protein C. In some instances, a hyaluronidase, such as a PH20 hyaluronidase, can contain N-glycosidic and O- glycosidic linkages. For example, PH20 has O-linked oligosaccharides as well as N-linked oligosaccharides. There are six potential N-linked glycosylation sites at N82, N166, N235, N254, N368, N393 of human PH20 exemplified in SEQ ID NO: 1.VariantsDBl / 162871737.3 37

[0182] As discussed above, variants of PH20 are known to those of skill in the art, or readily can be prepared in view of the skill and knowledge in the art. Variants include those with amino acid replacements, insertions, and deletions. Variants of the soluble PH20 polypeptides that have altered properties, such as increased stability and / or activity, have been produced. U.S. Patent No. 9,447,401 and family members U.S. Patent Nos. 10,865,400, 11,041,149 and11,066,656 describe and provide a structure / function map of human PH20 detailing the effects of amino acid replacements at every residue in the catalytic domain of PH20. These patents provide about 7000 examples in which the effects of replacing each amino acid with 15 other amino acids on activity and stability were identified and described. By virtue of those patents, and earlier publications / patents, describing virtually all variants of soluble PH20 polypeptides are known in the art. A skilled person readily can prepare soluble hyaluronidases and variants thereof and know the properties of the resulting hyaluronidase.

[0183] Other variants also are known to those of skill in the art, and can be used in the combinations, regimens, and methods described herein. For example, see, International PCT Publication No. W02020 / 022791 and W02020197230A which are incorporated by reference, and which describe modified PH20 polypeptides. These polypeptides, which include variants of the PH20 polypeptides that generally span residues 38-468, and include replacements, insertions, and deletions. The variants include for example one or more amino acid residues changes S343E, I344N, M345T, M348K, K349E, L353A, L354I, N356E, and I361T (with reference to SEQ ID NO: 1), and others, including about 15 amino acid variations, and truncations at the N-terminus and C-terminus. Variants that contain such modifications and others are set forth in SEQ ID NO: 60-115 of International PCT publication No. W02020 / 022791. Exemplary of these polypeptides is the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:99, therein. International PCT Publication No.W02021 / 150079 provides variant PH20 polypeptides described as having increased stability relative to unmodified PH20, such as those in rHuPH20. These variant polypeptides have been shown to have PH20 activity and are described as having use for subcutaneous co-administration with other agents.C. Lipid Nanoparticle Formulations

[0204] In embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles form liposomes. Liposomes are spherical vesicles composed of synthetic or natural phospholipids that self-assemble in aqueous solution. The liposome has an aqueous core surrounded by a hydrophobic membrane and can be loaded with a wide variety of hydrophobic or hydrophilic molecules for therapeutic purposes. Liposomes are typically synthesized with naturally occurring phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine. Cholesterol may be included in the formulation. The therapeutic agent can be loaded through liposome formation in aqueous solution, solvent exchange mechanisms, or pH gradients methods. Therapeutic agents can also be chemically conjugated to the surface of the liposome. One exemplary chemical modification can be conjugating polyethyleneglycol (PEG) to the vesicle surface. Liposomes diffuse from the bloodstream into the interstitial space near the target site. As the cell membrane itself is composed of phospholipids, liposomes can directly fuse with the membrane and release the cargo into the cytosol or may enter the cell through phagocytosis or other active transport pathways. Peptides, polymers, and other molecules can be conjugated to the surface of a liposome for targeted delivery. Conjugating various ligands to the surface can facilitate binding to target cells based on the receptor-ligand interaction. Vesicle size and surface chemistry can affect circulation time.3. Physical Properties of LNP Formulations

[0205] The characteristics of the LNPs disclosed herein may depend on the components thereof. For example, LNPs including cholesterol as a structural lipid may have different characteristics than LNPs that include a different structural lipid. Similarly, the characteristics of an LNP may depend on the absolute or relative amounts of its components. For instance, an LNP including a higher molar fraction of a phospholipid may have different characteristics than a nanoparticle composition including a lower molar fraction of a phospholipid. Characteristics may also vary depending on the method and conditions of preparation of the LNPs or the LNP formulations.

[0206] The LNPs and LNP formulations may be characterized by a variety of methods. For example, microscopy (e.g., transmission electron microscopy or scanning electron microscopy) may be used to examine the morphology and size distribution of a nanoparticle composition. Dynamic light scattering or potentiometry (e.g., potentiometric titrations) may be used to measure zeta potentials. Dynamic light scattering may also be utilized to determine particle sizes. Instruments such as the Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments Ltd, Malvern,DBl / 162871737.3 50Worcestershire, UK) may also be used to measure multiple characteristics of the LNPs or LNP formulations, such as particle size, poly dispersity index, and zeta potential.

[0207] The mean size of a plurality of LNPs may be between 10 nm and 1 micrometer, e.g., measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). For example, the mean size may be from about 40 nm to about 200 nm, such as about 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, 115 nm, 120 nm, 125 nm, 130 nm, 135 nm, 140 nm, 145 nm, 150 nm, 155 nm, 160 nm, 165 nm, 170 nm, 175 nm, 180 nm, 185 nm, 190 nm, 195 nm, or 200 nm. In some embodiments, the mean size of a plurality of LNPs have a mean diameter of from about 30 nm to about 250 nm, from about 40 nm to about 225 nm, from about 50 nm to about 225 nm, from about 60 nm to about 225 nm, from about 70 nm to about 225 nm, from about 70 nm to about 200 nm, from about 80 nm to about 200 nm, from about 90 nm to about 200 nm, or from about 100 nm to about 200 nm. In a particular embodiment, the mean size may be less than about 200 nm or less than about 100 nm.

[0208] A plurality of the LNPs disclosed herein may be relatively homogenous. A poly dispersity index may be used to indicate the homogeneity of the plurality of LNPs, e.g., the particle size distribution of the plurality of LNPs. A small (e.g., less than 0.3) poly dispersity index generally indicates a narrow particle size distribution. A plurality of the LNPs disclosed herein may have a poly dispersity index from about 0 to about 0.25, such as 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.1 1 , 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, or 0.25. In some embodiments, the polydispersity index of the plurality of nanoparticles may be from about 0.10 to about 0.20.

[0209] The zeta potential of an LNP may be used to indicate its electrokinetic potential. For example, the zeta potential may describe the surface charge of an LNP, a plurality of LNPs, or an LNP formulation. An LNP, a plurality of LNPs, or an LNP formulation with relatively low charges, positive or negative, are generally desirable, as more highly charged species may interact undesirably with cells, tissues, and other elements in the body. In some embodiments, the zeta potential of the LNP, a plurality of LNPs, or the LNP formulation may be from about - 10 mV to about +20 mV, from about -10 mV to about +15 mV, from about -10 mV to about +10 mV, from about -10 mV to about +5 mV, from about -10 mV to about 0 mV, from about -10 mV to about -5 mV, from about -5 mV to about +20 mV, from about -5 mV to about +15 mV, from about -5 mV to about +10 mV, from about -5 mV to about +5 mV, from about -5 mV to about 0DBl / 162871737.3 51mV, from about 0 mV to about +20 mV, from about 0 mV to about +15 mV, from about 0 mV to about +10 mV, from about 0 mV to about +5 mV, from about +5 mV to about +20 mV, from about +5 mV to about +15 mV, or from about +5 mV to about +10 mV.

[0210] The efficiency of encapsulation of a therapeutic and / or prophylactic describes the amount of therapeutic and / or prophylactic that is encapsulated or otherwise associated with an LNP or a plurality of LNPs after preparation, relative to the initial amount provided. In various embodiments of the invention described, encapsulation efficiency is desirably high (e.g., close to or approaching 100%). The encapsulation efficiency may be measured, for example, by comparing the amount of therapeutic and / or prophylactic in a solution containing a plurality of LNPs before and after breaking up the plurality of LNPs with one or more organic solvents or detergents. Fluorescence may be used to measure the amount of free therapeutic and / or prophylactic (e.g., nucleic acid) in a solution. For a plurality of LNPs described herein, the encapsulation efficiency of a therapeutic and / or prophylactic may be at least 50%, for example 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 9 0%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. In some embodiments, the encapsulation efficiency may be at least 80%. In certain embodiments, the encapsulation efficiency may be at least 90%.

[0211] An LNP formulation described herein may optionally comprise one or more coatings. For example, the LNP formulation may be formulated in a capsule, film, or tablet having a coating. A capsule, film, or tablet including an LNP formulation described herein may have any useful size, tensile strength, hardness, or density.D. Non-Lipid Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery

[0212] In an embodiment, non-lipid nanoparticles are used herein. These non-lipid nanoparticles can be made from natural or synthetic polymers and offer versatility in terms of design and function. Examples of non-lipid nanoparticles include polyethylene glycol (PEG), polylactic acid (PLA), and / or polycaprolactone (PCL).

[0213] In embodiments, the nanoparticles comprise polymer nanoparticles, dendrimers, polymeric micelles, inorganic nanoparticles, organic nanoparticles, inorganic nanocrystals, organic nanocrystals, quantum dots, viral vectors, viral-like nanoparticles, biological nanocarriers, virus-like particles, carbon nanotubes, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, bioceramic nanoparticles, nanogels, or any combination thereof.DBl / 162871737.3 52

[0214] In embodiments, polymer nanoparticles encapsulate the therapeutic. In embodiments, polymeric nanoparticles are synthetic polymers with a size ranging from 10 to 100 nm. Common synthetic polymeric nanoparticles include polyacrylamide, polyacrylate, and chitosan. Therapeutics can be incorporated either during or after polymerization. Depending on the polymerization chemistry, the therapeutic can be covalently bonded, encapsulated in a hydrophobic core, or conjugated electrostatically. Common synthetic strategies for polymeric nanoparticles include microfluidic approaches, electrodropping, high pressure homogenization, and emulsion-based interfacial polymerization. Polymer biodegradability can be considered when choosing a nanoparticle delivery system. Without being bound by any particular theory, nanocarriers composed of biodegradable polymers can undergo hydrolysis in the body, producing biocompatible small molecules such as lactic acid and glycolic acid. Polymeric nanoparticles can be created via self assembly or other methods such as particle replication in nonwetting templates (PRINT) which can allow for customization of composition, size, and shape of the nanoparticle using tiny molds.

[0215] For polymeric nanoparticles, the induction of stimuli-responsiveness has usually relied heavily upon well-known polymers that possess an inherent stimuli-responsiveness. Certain polymers can undergo reversible phase transitions due to changes in temperature or pH. In embodiments, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) polymers can be used for activation-modulated delivery. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) is soluble in water at room temperature but precipitates reversibly from when the temperature is raised above its lower critical solution temperature (LCST), changing from an extended chain conformation to a collapsed chain. Without being bound by any particular theory, this feature can be used to change the hydrophilicity of a polymer via temperature. In embodiments, the polymer nanoparticles can be a dual stimuli- responsive drug delivery system. Dual stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems can be harnessed to control the release of the encapsulated drug. For example, the triblock copolymer of polyethylene glycol)-b-poly(3-aminopropyl-methacrylamide)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PEG-b-PAPMA-b-PNIPAm) can self-assemble to form micelles, possessing a core-shell- corona architecture above the lower critical solution temperature. It is also pH responsive. Drug release using polymer nanoparticles can be tuned by changing either temperature or pH conditions.DBl / 162871737.3 53

[0216] In embodiments, the polymeric nanoparticle is a dendrimer nanoparticle. Dendrimers are unique hyper-branched synthetic polymers with monodispersed size, well- defined structure, and a highly functionalized terminal surface. They can be composed of synthetic or natural amino acid, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Therapeutics can be loaded onto the interior of the dendrimers or the terminal surface of the branches via electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, chemical linkages, or covalent conjugation. Drug-dendrimer conjugation can elongate the half-life of drugs. Currently, dendrimer use in biological systems is limited due to dendrimer toxicity and limitations in their synthesis methods. Dendrimers are also confined within a narrow size range (<15 nm) and current synthesis methods are subject to low yield. The surface groups will reach the de Gennes dense packing limit at high generation level, which seals the interior from the bulk solution which can allow for encapsulation of hydrophobic, poorly soluble drug molecules. The seal can be tuned by intramolecular interactions between adjacent surface groups, which can be varied by the condition of the solution, such as pH, polarity, and temperature, a property which can be tailored for encapsulation and controlled release properties.

[0217] In embodiments, the dendrimer comprises several arms originating from core which are prepared using sugar, nucleotides and amino acids. Dendrimers can be prepared through isothiocyanate-amine coupling and thiol-methacrylate Michael addition reaction to produce one dendrimer generation. In embodiments, PEGylated dendrimers can have lower cytotoxicity compared to unmodified dendrimers.

[0218] In embodiments, the polymeric nanoparticles are polymeric micelles. Polymeric micelles are spherical shell which can self assemble using amphiphilic di- or tri-block copolymers in aqueous media. In embodiments, polymeric micelles can be amphiphilic diblock copolymer micelles having hydrophobic core and hydrophilic shell.

[0219] In embodiments, the therapeutic is encapsulated by inorganic nanoparticles or nanocrystals. Inorganic nanoparticles can have highly tunable properties such as size, shape, and surface functionalization. Inorganic nanoparticles can be composed of inert metals such as gold and titanium that form nanospheres, however, iron oxide nanoparticles have also become an option.

[0220] In embodiments, the inorganic nanocrystals are quantum dots. Quantum dots (QDs), or inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals, have size-dependent optical properties andDBl / 162871737.3 54versatile surface chemistry. Quantum dots can have diameters from 2 - 10 nm which are on the order of the exciton Bohr radius. Without being bound by any particular theory, this diameter can result in quantum confinement effects analogous to the "particle-in-a-box" model. Optical and electronic properties of quantum dots vary with their size: nanocrystals of larger sizes can emit lower energy light upon fluorescence excitation. Surface engineering of QDs can create nanoparticle-biomolecule hybrids capable of participating in biological processes. Manipulation of nanocrystal core composition, size, and structure can change QD photo-physical properties Designing coating materials which encapsulate the QD core in an organic shell make nanocrystals biocompatible, and QDs can be further decorated with biomolecules to enable more specific interaction with biological targets.

[0221] In embodiments, the therapeutic is encapsulated by organic nanocrystals. Organic nanocrystals can consist of pure drugs and stabilizing surface-active agents. They can be carrier- free submicron colloidal drug delivery systems with a mean particle size in the nanometer range. The formulation of drugs into nanocrystals can increase in particle surface area in contact with the dissolution medium, therefore increasing bioavailability.[00222J In embodiments, the therapeutic is encapsulated by viral vectors, viral-like nanoparticles, or biological nanocarriers. In embodiments, the therapeutic is encapsulated in a viral vector. Viral vectors can be used to deliver genes for genetic engineering or gene therapy. The viral vector can be adenoviruses, retroviruses, and various bacteriophages. The surface of the viral particle can also be modified with ligands to increase targeting capabilities. Virusbased nanoparticles comprise strong protein cages prepared by self assembly which can encapsulate material such as a protein, a peptide, a nucleic acid and or a drug. These protein cages are microscopic in size which can lead to difficulty in functionalizing with virus-binding moi eties.

[0223] In embodiments, the therapeutics is encapsulated in protein particles derived from the viral capsid, or virus-like particles (VLPs). VLPs can be manufactured with a structural uniformity allowing VLPs to be produced precisely in large amounts. VLPs also have modifiable surfaces, allowing for targeted delivery. There are various methods of packaging the molecule into the capsid including self-assemble, altering the pH gradient outside the capsid to create pores on the capsid surface to trap the desired molecule, using aggregators such as leucine zippers or polymer-DNA amphiphiles to induce capsid formation and capture drug molecules.DBl / 162871737.3 55Therapeutics can be chemically conjugated directly onto the reactive sites on the capsid surface, often involving the formation of amide bonds. After being introduced to the organism, VLPs often have broad tissue distribution, rapid clearance, and are generally non-toxic. It may, however, like viruses, invoke an immune response, so immune-masking agents can be coadministered.

[0224] In embodiments, the nanoparticles are carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are prepared by folding grapheme sheet into tube-like structure whose diameter is nanoscale and length is thousand times the diameter. CNTs are flexible and possess electrical conductivity and biocompatibility. A carbon nanotube can be single walled or multiple walled, such as for DOX has stronger bond with multiple walled CNTs and facilitate better drug release from single walled CNTs. Magnetospirillum magneticum bacteria can used to fabricate carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes are capable of holding drug to obtain targeted drug delivery. Carbon nanotubes can be used in design of system capable of reducing systemic side effects.

[0225] In embodiments, the nanoparticles are mesoporous silica nanoparticles. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are silica material with structure similar to honeycomb and it can be synthesized in varying size consisting of different pore sizes. Sol-gel process is one commonly used approach to synthesize MSNs which involves hydrolysis and condensation of silicon alkoxide precursors. Premature release of a drug before it reaches the intended target location for delivery is a potential challenge, but MSNs offer a solution to this problem by levering stimuli-sensitive pore opening based on exposure to internal or external stimuli, triggering opening and permitting drug release.

[0226] In embodiments, the nanoparticles are bioceramic nanoparticles. Bioceramic nanoparticles can be used as a cargo for targeted drug delivery and prevents enzymatic degradation. Bioceramic nanoparticles can improve sustained release of a therapeutic agent. Alumina, pyrolytic carbons, zirconia, calcium phosphates and silica-based glasses or glass ceramics are non-limiting examples of commonly known bioceramics. Calcium phosphate possess more reaction sites for drug binding due to their high surface-to-volume ratios compared to bulk form and high loading capacity. Calcium phosphate NPs can be synthesized via precipitation, sol-gel method, flame-spray pyrolysis, solid-state reactions etc., with different properties, depending on morphology, size, and surface properties.DBl / 162871737.3 56

[0227] In embodiments, the nanoparticles are nanogels. Nanogels are 3D nanoparticles obtained by crosslinking hydrophilic or amphiphilic polymer chains which can be used for incorporation of drug via hydrogen bonding, salt bond formation or hydrophobic interaction. Nanogels can exhibit reduced toxic effects and / or enhanced therapeutic index of the drug and can be fabricated as stimuli-responsive materials.1. Drug Delivery by Nanoparticles

[0228] In embodiments, nanoparticles are administered via intranasal, intraventricular, and / or intraparenchymal routes. These routes can enable nanoparticles to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) due to their small size. When nanoparticles reach the BBB, several mechanisms may be used, including receptor-mediated mechanisms, active transport, and passive transport to deliver nanoparticles into the brain. Nanoparticles are small in size, can diffuse passively across the endothelial cells of the BBB, and can interact favorably with brain receptors and recognize ligands for interaction.

[0229] In embodiments, nanoparticles delivery drugs can be used to treat heart diseases. In embodiments, the nanoparticles comprise liposomes, silica NPs, dendrimers, cerium oxide NPs, micelles, TiO2 NPs, stents with nano-coatings, microbubbles, and polymer-drug conjugates. Magnetic nanoparticles like magnetoliposomes (MLs) are made up of the union of liposomes and magnetic nanoparticles. MLs can be used for magnetic-targeted drug delivery. The PEGylation of MLs increases their rate of flow in the blood, and pairing of the MLs with antibodies can raise active targeting efficacy. Liposomes are used with various modifications, e.g., to load drugs on NPs for delivery inside the cell. Cationic liposomes, perfluorocarbon nanoparticles, poly electrolyte nanoparticles, and polymeric nanoparticles are non-limiting examples of modified nanocarrier forms used in treating heart diseases.

[0230] In embodiments, nanoparticles can deliver drugs to treat skin diseases, e.g., follicular and / or cutaneous skin disease. Nanoparticle delivery for cutaneous disease treatment can be topically delivered through creams, gels, and ointments. Without being bound by any particular theory, polymeric, lipid, and surfactant nanocarriers can enhance drug penetration into the skin tissue to treat skin cancer in one exemplary embodiment. In embodiments, chitosan polymeric NPs, liposomes, and gold nanoparticles can deliver a therapeutic into the dermal and epidermal layers. Gold nanoparticles are extremely small in size and can penetrate skin layers with very low toxicity and little-to-no skin damage.DBl / 162871737.3 57

[0231] In embodiments, nanoparticles can deliver drugs to treat bone diseases. Bone diseases include, for example, bone defects due to fracture, trauma, osteoporosis, arthritis, infections, and many other diseases. In embodiments, nanoparticles can be used to stimulate bone regeneration in order to fuse, strengthen and repair bones. For example, combination of biomaterial and nanomaterial has reduced bone implantation through the development of bone bioscaffolds. A therapeutic agent encapsulated inside the nanoparticle can be delivered through blood to the targeted area in the bones.

[0232] In embodiments, nanoparticles can deliver therapeutics to treat blood diseases such as hemopoietic blood disorder, iron deficiency, leukemia, anemia, hemophilia, platelet diseases, and blood cancer. The conventionally used chemotherapeutic system causes damage to the immune system (e.g., cytokine storm), with high risk of mortality. Bone marrow transplant is also an expensive and intricate process with high risks of immune complications. For example, thalassemia is treated with deferoxamine, a chelating agent to treat excessive iron in the blood. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide therapeutic agents or compositions with reduced immunogenicity, potentially avoiding dangerous immune response or treatment failure due to rejection. The siRNA-coated nanocomposite has the inhibitory activity for tumor cells in vivo.Example Nanoparticles used in Drug DeliveryDBl / 162871737.3 58DB1 / 162871737.3 59DB1 / 162871737.3 60DB1 / 162871737.3 61E.

[0242] In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates mRNA that is involved in the synthesis of an inflammatory protein. In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates mRNA that is involved in the synthesis of a protein that mediates immune response. In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates mRNA that is involved in the synthesis of a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein. In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates TNF-alpha mRNA. In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates mRNA that is involved in the synthesis of an enzyme-based reporter. In one embodiment, the LNP encapsulates mRNA that is involved in the synthesis of a bioluminescent enzyme-based reporter. In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates luciferase mRNA.

[0243] In another embodiment, the LNP encapsulates an mRNA-based vaccine. mRNA- based vaccines provide a promising alternative to traditional subunit vaccines, which contain antigenic proteins derived from a pathogen. Antigenic proteins are usually recombinantly made and require bacterial fermentation and / or cell culture, as well as complex purification. Vaccines based on mRNA allow de novo expression of complex antigens in the vaccinated subject, which in turn allows proper post-translational modification and presentation of the antigen in its natural conformation. Unlike traditional technologies, the manufacture of mRNA vaccines does not require complex and costly bacterial fermentation, tissue culture, and purification processes. Moreover, once established, the manufacturing process for mRNA vaccines can be used for a variety of antigens, enabling rapid development and deployment of mRNA vaccines. Further, mRNA vaccines are inherently safe delivery vectors as they express the antigens only transiently and do not integrate into the host genome. Because antigens encoded by mRNAs are produced in vivo in the vaccinated individual, mRNA vaccines are especially effective in eliciting both humoral and T cell mediated immunity.

[0244] The active ingredient of the present LNP vaccine composition is an mRNA that encodes an antigen of interest. The antigen may be a polypeptide derived from a virus, for example, influenza virus, coronavirus (e.g., SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, or MERS -related virus), Ebola virus, Dengue virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis A virusDBl / 162871737.3 177(HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), zika virus, human papillomavirus (HPV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), human parainfluenza virus type 3 (PIV3), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), chikungunya virus, or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

[0245] The antigen also may be derived from a bacterium, for example, Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella (e.g., Moraxella catarrhalis,' causing otitis, respiratory infections, and / or sinusitis), Chlamydia trachomatis (causing Chlamydia), Borrelia (e.g., Borrelia burgdorferi causing Lyme Disease), Bacillus anthracis (causing anthrax), Salmonella typhi (causing typhoid fever), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (causing tuberculosis), Propionibacterium acnes (causing acne), or non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae.

[0247] Where desired, the LNP or the LNP formulation may be multi-valent. In some embodiments, the LNP may carry mRNAs that encode more than one antigen, such as two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more antigens, from the same or different pathogens.For example, the LNP may carry multiple mRNA molecules, each encoding a different antigen; or carry a polycistronic mRNA that can be translated into more than one antigen (e.g., each antigen-coding sequence is separated by a nucleotide linker encoding a self-cleaving peptide such as a 2A peptide). An LNP carrying different mRNA molecules typically comprises (e g., encapsulates) multiple copies of each mRNA molecule. For example, an LNP carrying or encapsulating two different mRNA molecules typically carries multiple copies of each of the two different mRNA molecules.

[0248] In some embodiments, a single LNP formulation may comprise multiple (e.g., two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more) respective LNPs, and each respective LNP can be carrying a different mRNA.

[0249] Examples of multi-valent LNP vaccines are those containing mRNAs encoding two or more antigens from the above-listed pathogens, such as LNP vaccines comprising mRNAs encoding polypeptides derived from influenza virus. In some embodiments, the multivalent LNP vaccines contain mRNA molecules encoding polypeptides derived from two or more (e.g., three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten) influenza viral proteins selected from hemagglutinin (e.g., hemagglutinin 1 (HA1) and hemagglutinin 2 (HA2)), neuraminidase (NA), nucleoprotein (NP), matrix protein 1 (Ml), matrix protein 2 (M2), nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), and non- structural protein 2 (NS2).

[0257] When selecting one or more machine learning-engineered influenza virus I-lAs, any machine learning algorithm may be used. For example, envisioned herein are any of the machine learning algorithms and methods disclosed in PCT Application Nos. WO 2021 / 080990 Al, entitled Systems and Methods for Designing Vaccines, and WO 2021 / 080999 Al, entitled Systems and Methods for Predicting Biological Responses, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties herein.

[0258] The mRNA molecule may be unmodified (e.g., containing only natural ribonucleotides A, U, C, and / or G linked by phosphodi ester bonds), or chemically modified (e.g., including nucleotide analogs such as pseudouridines (e.g., N l-methyl pseudouridine), 2'-fluoro ribonucleotides, and 2'-methoxy ribonucleotides, and / or phosphorothioate bonds).

[0260] siRNAs are RNA duplexes that can have an approximate length of 15-30 nucleotides and can associate with a cytoplasmic multi-protein complex known as RNAi-induced silencing complex (RISC). RNA interference (RNAi) may be used to disrupt the expression of a gene or polynucleotide of interest. RISC loaded with siRNA mediates the degradation of homologous mRNA transcripts. Therefore, siRNA can be designed to knock down protein expression with high specificity. Unlike other antisense technologies, siRNA function through a natural mechanism evolved to control gene expression through non-coding RNA. This is generally considered to be the reason why their activity is more potent in vitro and in vivo than either antisense oligonucleotide or ribozymes. RNAi reagents may include DNA sense :RNA antisense hybrids, RNA sense:DNA antisense hybrids, and DNA:DNA hybrids are capable of mediating RNAi. Thus, RNAi molecules comprising any of these different types of double-stranded molecules may be used. In addition, it is understood that RNAi molecules may be used and introduced to cells in a variety of forms. Accordingly, as used herein, RNAi molecules encompasses any and all molecules capable of inducing an RNAi response in cells, including, but not limited to, double-stranded polynucleotides comprising two separate strands(e.g., a sense strand and an antisense strand), small interfering RNA (siRNA), polynucleotides comprising a hairpin loop of complementary sequences, and expression vectors that express one or more polynucleotides capable of forming a double-stranded polynucleotide alone or in combination with another polynucleotide.

[0261] RNA interference (RNAi) may be used to specifically inhibit expression of target polynucleotides. Double-stranded RNA-mediated suppression of gene and nucleic acid expression may be accomplished according to the invention by introducing dsRNA, siRNA or shRNA into cells or organisms. siRNA may be double-stranded RNA, or a hybrid molecule comprising both RNA and DNA, e.g., one RNA strand and one DNA strand, or siRNA.

[0262] RNAi molecules targeting specific polynucleotides can be readily prepared according to procedures known in the art. Accordingly, one skilled in the art would understand that a wide variety of different siRNA molecules may be used to target a specific gene or transcript. InDBl / 162871737.3 183certain embodiments, siRNA molecules according to the invention are double-stranded and 16- 30 or 18-25 nucleotides in length, including each integer in between.

[0263] Generally, siRNA molecules are complementary to one strand of a target DNA molecule. In other embodiments, siRNAs may have a modified composition, such as, for example, 2'-deoxy or 2'-O-methyl modifications. However, in preferred embodiments, the entire strand of the siRNA is not made with either 2' deoxy or 2'-O-modified bases.

[0264] In certain embodiments, the composition of the invention can be used to increase the amount of siRNA conjugating to a targeting agent, such as GalNAc (N-Acetylgalactosamine) conjugation for targeted delivery to the liver. Upon administration to a subject, the siRNA delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the amount transported to a particular organ, tissue, or cell type by directing the siRNA to specific cellular targets (e.g., cell surface markers or receptors), thereby modulating the activity of the cellular target in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of diseases or conditions.

[0265] In some embodiments, the composition of the invention can be used to increase the amount of siRNA transported to target organs. Upon administration to a subject, the siRNA delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the amount reaching the target organ by directing the siRNA to specific cellular targets, thereby modulating the activity of the target organ cells in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial.

[0267] In particular embodiments, the lipid nanoparticles encapsulate siRNA. siRNAs are RNA duplexes normally 15-30 nucleotides long that can associate with a cytoplasmic multiprotein complex known as RNAi-induced silencing complex (RISC). RNA interference (RNAi) methods using RNAi molecules may be used to disrupt the expression of a gene or polynucleotide of interest. RISC loaded with siRNA mediates the degradation of homologous mRNA transcripts. Therefore, siRNA can be designed to knock down protein expression with high specificity. Unlike other antisense technologies, siRNA can function through a natural mechanism evolved to control gene expression through non-coding RNA. This is generallyDBl / 162871737.3 184considered to be the reason why their activity is more potent in vitro and in vivo than either antisense oligonucleotide or ribozymes.

Thus, RNAi molecules comprising any of these different types of double-stranded molecules may be used. In addition, it is understood that RNAi molecules may be used and introduced to cells in a variety of forms. Accordingly, as used herein, RNAi molecules encompasses any and all molecules capable of inducing an RNAi response in cells, including, but not limited to, double-stranded polynucleotides, polynucleotides comprising a hairpin loop of complementary sequences, thereby forming at least a partial double-stranded region, and expression vectors that express one or more polynucleotides capable of forming a doublestranded polynucleotide alone or in combination with another polynucleotide.

[0268] RNA interference (RNAi) may be used to specifically inhibit expression of target polynucleotides. Double-stranded RNA-mediated suppression of gene and nucleic acid expression may be accomplished according to the present disclosure by introducing dsRNA, siRNA or shRNA into cells or organisms. siRNA may be double-stranded RNA, or a hybrid molecule comprising both RNA and DNA, e.g., one RNA strand and one DNA strand, or siRNA.

[0269] RNAi molecules targeting specific polynucleotides can be readily prepared according to procedures known in the art. Accordingly, one skilled in the art would understand that a wide variety of different siRNA molecules may be used to target a specific gene or transcript. In certain embodiments, siRNA molecules according to the invention are double-stranded and approximately 16-30 or 18-25 nucleotides in length, including each integer in between.

[0270] Generally, siRNA molecules are completely complementary to one strand of a target DNA molecule. In other embodiments, siRNAs may have a modified composition, such as, for example, 2'-deoxy or 2'-O-methyl modifications. However, in preferred embodiments, the entire strand of the siRNA is not made with either 2' deoxy or 2'-O-modified bases.

[0271] In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to methods and compositions for producing lipid-encapsulated nucleic acid particles in which nucleic acids are encapsulated within a lipid nanoparticle and are administered in combination with a hyaluronidase enzyme. Such lipid nanoparticles, encapsulating siRNA oligonucleotides, are characterized using a variety of biophysical parameters including: (1) nucleic acid to lipid ratio; (2) encapsulation efficiency; and (3) particle size. High encapsulation efficiency, good nuclease resistance and serum stability and controllable particle size (e.g., generally less than 200 nm in diameter) are desirable. InDBl / 162871737.3 185addition, the nature of the nucleic acid polymer is of significance, since the modification of nucleic acids in an effort to impart nuclease resistance adds to the cost of therapeutics while in many cases providing only limited resistance.

[0272] In certain embodiments, the composition can be used to increase the amount of siRNA transported into the lymphatic system and lymphatic nodes. Upon administration to a subject, the siRNA delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the immune response by directing the siRNA to specific cellular targets within the lymphatic system, thereby modulating the activity of immune cells in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with the immune system, that includes the treatments of cancers.

[0280] Cas9 (CRISPR associated protein 9) is an RNA-guided DNA nuclease enzyme associated with Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR immunity system. Cas9 can be used to induce site-directed double strand breaks in DNA, which can lead to gene inactivation or the introduction of heterologous genes through non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination respectively. mRNA systems for expressing Cas9 are commercially available from TriLink Biotechnologies (San Diego, Calif). The mRNA may be codon optimized for human or other mammalian systems. The expressed Cas9 protein may contain a nuclear localization signal at the C-terminus. The RNA encoding Cas9 may be capped and polyadenylated to support expression in mammalian cells and may contain modifications to reduce immune stimulation. The amino acid sequence and encoding nucleic acid sequence for Cas9 and functional derivatives and homologs (which can be used in accordance with the disclosure) include those described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,697,359, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.[00281J The Cas9 may be delivered in conjunction with a gRNA, which directs the Cas9 editing system to the nucleotide sequence recognized by the gRNA. The term “gRNA” is used interchangeably herein with “gRNA” “single gRNA,” and “sgRNA.” In general, a gRNA can be designed to target any nucleotide sequence. Generally, for Cas9, gRNAs guide the Cas9 endonuclease to the complementary 20 nucleotide (nt) genomic sequences with a downstream NGG protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). Cas9 generates double-stranded breaks, which can be repaired by non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR).

[0282] In some embodiments, a Cas9 nickase version is employed. Cas9 nickase can generate single stranded breaks, and a double nickase can generate double stranded breaks. The nickase can provide for reduced off-target effects. Further, by delivering two gRNAs and a Cas9 nickase, off target effects can be further reduced.

[0283] In place of a CRISPR-Cas9 system, alternate nucleic acid editing systems may be used. For example, suitable systems include any CRISPR / cas system (e g., any Cascade-like CRISPR / cas, Type I CRISPR / cas, Type II CRISPR / cas, and type III CRISPR / cas), zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and engineered meganuclease re-engineered homing endonucleases.DBl / 162871737.3 191

[0284] RNA encoding the nucleic acid editing system can be modified, and the modification selected from one or more of modifications of the phosphate backbone (e.g., phosphorothioate linkages or boranophosphate linkages), ribose ring modifications such as 2'-O- methyl and / or 2'-fluoro and / or 4'-thio modifications, and locked or unlocked nucleic acids. Other modifications may include pseudouridine, 2-thiouridine, 4-thiouridine, 5 -azauridine, 5- hydroxyuridine, 5 -aminouridine, 5-methyluridine, 2-thiopseudouridine, 4-thiopseudouridine, 5- hydroxypseudouridine, 5-methylpseudouridine, 5-aminopseudouridine, pseudoisocytidine, 5- methylcytidine, N4-methylcytidine, 2-thiocytidine, 5 -azacytidine, 5 -hydroxy cytidine, 5- aminocytidine, N4-methylpseudoisocytidine, 2-thiopseudoisocytidine, 5- hydroxypseudoisocytidine, 5-aminopseudoisocytidine, 5-methylpseudoisocytidine, N6- methyladenosine, 7-deazaadenosine, 6-thioguanosine, 7-deazaguanosine, 8-azaguanosine, 6-thio- 7-deazaguanosine, 6-thio-8-azaguanosine, 7-deaza-8-azaguanosine, and 6-thio-7-deaza-8- azaguanosine. Generally, modifications are selected to reduce immune stimulation and stabilize the RNA and improve expression of the encoded protein. For example, the RNA may have a combination of 2-thiouridine and 5-methyl-cytidine, which has been shown to reduce immune stimulation through pattern recognition receptors, such as TLR3, TLR7, TLR8 and RIG-I (retinoic-acid-inducible protein I). In some embodiments, the mRNA has one or more pseudouridine (preventing activation of pattern recognition receptors and 2 '-5 '-oligoadenylate synthetase). These modifications can also stabilize the mRNA against cleavage, and ultimately improve expression rates.

[0001] Artificial nucleases, such as engineered zinc finger nucleases (ZFN), transcription-activator like effector nucleases (TALENs), the CRISPR / Cas system with an engineered crRNA / tracr RNA ('single guide RNA'), comprise DNA binding domains (nucleotide or polypeptide) associated with or operably linked to cleavage domains, and have been used for targeted alteration of genomic sequences.

[0002] In other embodiments, the nuclease is a zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) or TALE DNA binding domain-nuclease fusion (TALEN). ZFNs and TALENs comprise a DNA binding domain (zinc finger protein or TALE DNA binding domain) that has been engineered to bind to a target site in a gene of choice and cleavage domain or a cleavage half-domain (e.g., from a restriction and / or meganuclease as described herein).DBl / 162871737.3 192

[0003] As described in detail above, zinc finger binding domains and TALE DNA binding domains can be engineered to bind to a sequence of choice. An engineered zinc finger binding domain or TALE protein can have a novel binding specificity, compared to a naturally-occurring protein.

[0004] Engineering methods include, but are not limited to, rational design and various types of selection. Rational design includes, for example, using databases comprising triplet (or quadruplet) nucleotide sequences and individual zinc finger or TALE amino acid sequences, in which each triplet or quadruplet nucleotide sequence is associated with one or more amino acid sequences of zinc fingers or TALE repeat units which bind the particular triplet or quadruplet sequence.

[0005] Selection of target sites; and methods for design and construction of fusion proteins (and polynucleotides encoding same) are known to those of skill in the art and described in detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,888,121 and 8,409,861, incorporated by reference in their entireties herein.

[0006] In addition, as disclosed in these and other references, zinc finger domains, TALEs and / or multi-fingered zinc finger proteins may be linked together using any suitable linker sequences. The proteins described herein may include any combination of suitable linkers between the individual zinc fingers of the protein.

[0007] Thus, nucleases such as ZFNs, TALENs and / or meganucleases can comprise any DNA-binding domain and any nuclease (cleavage) domain (cleavage domain, cleavage halfdomain). As noted above, the cleavage domain may be heterologous to the DNA-binding domain, for example a zinc finger or TAL-effector DNA-binding domain and a cleavage domain from a nuclease or a meganuclease DNA-binding domain and cleavage domain from a different nuclease. Heterologous cleavage domains can be obtained from any endonuclease or exonuclease. Exemplary endonucleases from which a cleavage domain can be derived include, but are not limited to, restriction endonucleases and homing endonucleases. Additional enzymes which cleave DNA are known (e.g., SI Nuclease; mung bean nuclease; pancreatic DNase I; micrococcal nuclease; yeast HO endonuclease; see also Linn et al. (eds.) Nucleases, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1993). One or more of these enzymes (or functional fragments thereof) can be used as a source of cleavage domains and cleavage half-domains.DBl / 162871737.3 193

[0008] The term "zinc finger nuclease," as used herein, refers to a nuclease comprising a nucleic acid cleavage domain conjugated to a binding domain that comprises a zinc finger array. In some embodiments, the cleavage domain is the cleavage domain of the type II restriction endonuclease Fokl. Zinc finger nucleases can be designed to target virtually any desired sequence in a given nucleic acid molecule for cleavage, and the possibility to design zinc finger binding domains to bind unique sites in the context of complex genomes allows for targeted cleavage of a single genomic site in living cells, for example, to achieve a targeted genomic alteration of therapeutic value. Targeting a double- strand break to a desired genomic locus can be used to introduce frame- shift mutations into the coding sequence of a gene due to the error-prone nature of the non-homologous DNA repair pathway. Zinc finger nucleases can be generated to target a site of interest by methods well known to those of skill in the art. For example, zinc finger binding domains with a desired specificity can be designed by combining individual zinc finger motifs of known specificity. In some embodiments, separate zinc fingers that each recognizes a 3 base pair DNA sequence are combined to generate 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-fmger arrays that recognize target sites ranging from 9 base pairs to 18 base pairs in length. In some embodiments, longer arrays are contemplated. In other embodiments, 2-finger modules recognizing 6-8 nucleotides are combined to generate 4-, 6-, or 8- zinc finger arrays. In some embodiments, bacterial or phage display is employed to develop a zinc finger domain that recognizes a desired nucleic acid sequence, for example, a desired nuclease target site of 3-30 bp in length. Zinc finger nucleases, in some embodiments, comprise a zinc finger binding domain and a cleavage domain fused or otherwise conjugated to each other via a linker, for example, a polypeptide linker. The length of the linker determines the distance of the cut from the nucleic acid sequence bound by the zinc finger domain. If a shorter linker is used, the cleavage domain will cut the nucleic acid closer to the bound nucleic acid sequence, while a longer linker will result in a greater distance between the cut and the bound nucleic acid sequence. In some embodiments, the cleavage domain of a zinc finger nuclease has to dimerize in order to cut a bound nucleic acid. In some such embodiments, the dimer is a heterodimer of two monomers, each of which comprises a different zinc finger binding domain. For example, in some embodiments, the dimer may comprise one monomer comprising zinc finger domain A conjugated to a Fokl cleavage domain, and one monomer comprising zinc finger domain B conjugated to a Fokl cleavage domain. In this non-limiting example, zinc finger domain A binds a nucleic acid sequence on one side of the target site, zinc finger domain B binds a nucleic acidDBl / 162871737.3 194sequence on the other side of the target site, and the dimerize Fokl domain cuts the nucleic acid in between the zinc finger domain binding sites.

[0009] The term "zinc finger," as used herein, refers to a small nucleic acid-binding protein structural motif characterized by a fold and the coordination of one or more zinc ions that stabilize the fold. Zinc fingers encompass a wide variety of differing protein structures. Zinc fingers can be designed to bind a specific sequence of nucleotides, and zinc finger arrays comprising fusions of a series of zinc fingers, can be designed to bind virtually any desired target sequence. Such zinc finger arrays can form a binding domain of a protein, for example, of a nuclease, e.g., if conjugated to a nucleic acid cleavage domain. Different types of zinc finger motifs are known to those of skill in the art, including, but not limited to, CyS2His2, Gag knuckle, Treble clef, Zinc ribbon, Zn2 / Cyse, and TAZ2 domain-like motifs. Typically, a single zinc finger motif binds 3 or 4 nucleotides of a nucleic acid molecule. Accordingly, a zinc finger domain comprising 2 zinc finger motifs may bind 6-8 nucleotides, a zinc finger domain comprising 3 zinc finger motifs may bind 9- 12 nucleotides, a zinc finger domain comprising 4 zinc finger motifs may bind 12-16 nucleotides, and so forth. Any suitable protein engineering technique can be employed to alter the DNA -binding specificity of zinc fingers and / or design novel zinc finger fusions to bind virtually any desired target sequence from 3 - 30 nucleotides in length. Fusions between engineered zinc finger arrays and protein domains that cleave a nucleic acid can be used to generate a “zinc finger nuclease.” A zinc finger nuclease typically comprises a zinc finger domain that binds a specific target site within a nucleic acid molecule, and a nucleic acid cleavage domain that cuts the nucleic acid molecule within or in proximity to the target site bound by the binding domain. Typical engineered zinc finger nucleases comprise a binding domain having between 3 and 6 individual zinc finger motifs and binding target sites ranging from 9 base pairs to 18 base pairs in length. Longer target sites are particularly attractive in situations where it is desired to bind and cleave a target site that is unique in a given genome.

[0010] Base editing is a genome editing technology that involves the conversion of a specific nucleic acid base into another at a targeted genomic locus. In certain embodiments, this can be achieved without requiring double-stranded DNA breaks (DSB), or single stranded breaks (i.e., nicking). To date, other genome editing techniques, including CRISPR-based systems, begin with the introduction of a DSB at a locus of interest. Subsequently, cellular DNA repairDBl / 162871737.3 195enzymes mend the break, commonly resulting in random insertions or deletions (indels) of bases at the site of the DSB. However, when the introduction or correction of a point mutation at a target locus is desired rather than stochastic disruption of the entire gene, these genome editing techniques are unsuitable, as correction rates are low (e.g. typically 0.1% to 5%), with the major genome editing products being indels.

[0011] A base editor (BE) is a CRISPR-mediated fusion protein utilized in base editing methods. In some embodiments, the base editor comprises a nuclease-inactive Cas9 (dCas9) fused to a deaminase which binds a nucleic acid in a guide RNA-programmed manner via the formation of an R-loop but does not cleave the nucleic acid. For example, the dCas9 domain of the fusion protein may include a D10A and a H840A mutation (which renders Cas9 capable of cleaving only one strand of a nucleic acid duplex). The DNA cleavage domain of S. pyogenes Cas9 includes two subdomains, the HNH nuclease subdomain and the RuvCl subdomain. The HNH subdomain cleaves the strand complementary to the gRNA (the “targeted strand”, or the strand in which editing, or deamination occurs), whereas the RuvCl subdomain cleaves the non-complementary strand containing the PAM sequence (the “non-edited strand”). The RuvC 1 mutant D10A generates a nick in the targeted strand, while the HNH mutant H840A generates a nick on the non-edited strand.

[0012] In some embodiments, a base editor is a macromolecule or macromolecular complex that results primarily (e.g., more than 80%, more than 85%, more than 90%, more than 95%, more than 99%, more than 99.9%, or 100%) in the conversion of a nucleobase in a polynucleic acid sequence into another nucleobase (e.g., a transition or transversion) using a combination of 1) a nucleotide-, nucleoside-, or nucleobase-modifying enzyme and 2) a nucleic acid binding protein that can be programmed to bind to a specific nucleic acid sequence.

[0013] In some embodiments, the base editor comprises a DNA binding domain (e.g., a programmable DNA binding domain such as a dCas9 or nCas9) that directs it to a target sequence. In some embodiments, the base editor comprises a nucleobase modifying enzyme fused to a programmable DNA binding domain (e.g., a dCas9 or nCas9). A “nucleobase modifying enzyme” is an enzyme that can modify a nucleobase and convert one nucleobase to another (e.g., a deaminase such as a cytidine deaminase or an adenosine deaminase). In some embodiments, the base editor may target cytosine (C) bases in a nucleic acid sequence and convert the C to thymine (T) base. In some embodiments, the C to T editing is carried out by aDBl / 162871737.3 196deaminase, e g., a cytidine deaminase. Base editors that can carry out other types of base conversions (e.g., adenosine (A) to guanine (G), C to G) are also contemplated.

[0014] In principle, there are twelve possible base-to-base changes that may occur via individual or sequential use of transition (i.e., a purine-to-purine change or pyrimidine-to- pyrimidine change) or transversion (i.e., a purine-to-pyrimidine or pyrimidine-to-purine) editors. These include transition base editors such as a C-to-T base editor (or “CTBE”). This type of editor converts a C:G Watson-Crick nucleobase pair to a T:A Watson-Crick nucleobase pair. Because the corresponding Watson-Crick paired bases are also interchanged as a result of the conversion, this category of base editor may also be referred to as a G-to-A base editor (or “GABE”). In other embodiments, the transition base editor is an A-to-G base editor (or “AGBE”). This type of editor converts a A:T Watson-Crick nucleobase pair to a G:C Watson- Crick nucleobase pair. Because the corresponding Watson-Crick paired bases are also interchanged as a result of the conversion, this category of base editor may also be referred to as a T-to-C base editor (or “TCBE”).

[0015] Transversion base editors include G-to-T base editors (or “GTBE”), C-to- G base editors (or “CGBE”), A-to-T base editors (or “ATBE”), and A-to-C base editors (or “ACBE”). A G-to-T base editor (or “GTBE”) converts a G:C Watson-Crick nucleobase pair to a T:A Watson-Crick nucleobase pair. Because the corresponding Watson-Crick paired bases are also interchanged as a result of the conversion, this category of base editor may also be referred to as a C-to-A base editor (or “CABE”). A C-to-G base editor (or (“CGBE”) converts a C:G Watson-Crick nucleobase pair to a G:C Watson-Crick nucleobase pair. Because the corresponding Watson-Crick paired bases are also interchanged as a result of the conversion, this category of base editor may also be referred to as a G-to-C base editor (or “GCBE”). A, A-to-T base editor (or “ATBE”) converts a A:T Watson-Crick nucleobase pair to a T:A Watson-Crick nucleobase pair. Because the corresponding Watson-Crick paired bases are also interchanged as a result of the conversion, this category of base editor may also be referred to as a T-to- A base editor (or “TABE”). An A-to-C base editor (or “ACBE”) converts a A:T Watson-Crick nucleobase pair to a C:G Watson-Crick nucleobase pair. Because the corresponding Watson- Crick paired bases are also interchanged as a result of the conversion, this category of base editor may also be referred to as a T-to-G base editor (or “TGBE”).DBl / 162871737.3 197

[0016] Prime editing (PE) is a nucleic acid editing platform that enables the targeted and programmable installation of defined changes in a nucleotide sequence at a desired locus. It involves targeting of a prime editor to a target site in the genome, wherein the prime editor comprises a nucleic acid programmable DNA binding protein (napDNAbp) fused to a polymerase (e.g., a reverse transcriptase (RT)) associated with a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA). The pegRNA comprises a scaffold (which binds to the napDNAbp), a spacer sequence (which is complementary to the genomic site), and an extension arm at the 3' or 5' end of the pegRNA. The extension arm includes a DNA synthesis template which includes the sequence of the desired edit. During prime editing, once the prime editor complexed with the pegRNA localizes to the genomic site, the polymerase (e.g., reverse transcriptase) synthesizes a new strand of DNA containing a desired edit using the DNA synthesis template. The new strand of DNA then replaces the corresponding endogenous DNA strand at the genomic site, thereby installing the desired, edited nucleotide sequence into the genome at the edit site.

[0017] The process of prime editing may introduce at least one or more of the following genetic changes into a nucleic acid (e.g., genome): transversions, transitions, deletions, and insertions. In addition, prime editing may be implemented for specific applications. For example, prime editing can be used to (a) install mutation-correcting changes to a nucleotide sequence, (b) install protein and RNA tags, (c) install immunoepitopes on proteins of interest, (d) install dimerization domains in proteins, (e) install or remove sequences that alter the activity of a biomolecule, (f) install recombinase target sites to direct specific genetic changes, and / or (g) mutagenize a target sequence by using an error-prone RT, as well as other purposes. And, with the modified pegRNAs described herein, these applications of prime editing may be conducted with high efficiency and / or reduced occurrence of indels.

[0018] In another aspect, the disclosure provides pegRNAs for prime editing comprising (i) a guide RNA comprising a spacer and (ii) at least one nucleic acid extension arm comprising a DNA synthesis template, a primer binding site, a toehold motif, and an additional nucleic acid moiety, wherein the toehold motif occludes interaction of the primer binding site and the spacer when the pegRNA is not bound by a prime editor, but does not occlude interaction of the primer binding site and a protospacer sequence on a target DNA molecule when the pegRNA is bound by a prime editor. In some embodiments, the toehold motif and the additional nucleic acid moiety are attached to the 3' end of the extension arm. In some embodiments, the toehold motifDBl / 162871737.3 198is attached to the 3' end of the extension arm, and the additional nucleic acid moiety is attached to the 3' end of the toehold motif. In some embodiments, the toehold motif is attached to the pegRNA by a linker.

[0019] In various embodiments, prime editing operates by contacting a target DNA molecule (for which a change in the nucleotide sequence is desired to be introduced) with a nucleic acid programmable DNA binding protein (napDNAbp) complexed with a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA).

[0020] In certain embodiments, the delivery system comprises” lipid” nanoparticles or non-lipid nanoparticles. In some embodiments, the lipid-based vector is a “lipid” nanoparticle, which is a lipid particle between about 1 and about 100 nanometers in size. In certain embodiments, the composition of the invention can be used to increase the amount of nucleic acid editing system transported into the lymphatic system and lymphatic nodes. Upon administration to a subject, the nucleic acid editing system delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the immune response by directing the nucleic acid editing system to specific cellular targets within the lymphatic system, thereby modulating the activity of immune cells in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with the immune system, that includes the treatments of cancers.

[0021] In some embodiments, the lipid-based vector is a lipid or liposome. Liposomes are artificial spherical vesicles comprising a lipid bilayer.

[0022] In some embodiments, the lipid-based vector is a small nucleic acid-lipid particle (SNALP). SNALPs comprise small (e.g., less than 200 nm in diameter) lipid-based nanoparticles that encapsulate a nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the SNALP is useful for delivery of an RNA molecule such as siRNA. In some embodiments, SNALP formulations deliver nucleic acids to a particular tissue in a subject, such as the liver.

[0023] In some embodiments, the gRNA and / or nucleic acid editing system (or the RNA encoding the same) is delivered via polymeric vectors. In some embodiments, the polymeric vector is a polymer or polymerosome. Polymers encompass any long repeating chain of monomers and include, for example, linear polymers, branched polymers, dendrimers, and polysaccharides. Linear polymers comprise a single line of monomers, whereas branched polymers include side chains of monomers. Dendrimers are also branched molecules, which are arranged symmetrically around the core of the molecule. Polysaccharides are polymericDBl / 162871737.3 199carbohydrate molecules and are made up of long monosaccharide units linked together. Polymersomes are artificial vesicles made up of synthetic amphiphilic copolymers that form a vesicle membrane and may have a hollow or aqueous core within the vesicle membrane.

[0024] Various polymer-based systems can be adapted as a vehicle for administering RNA encoding the nucleic acid editing machinery. Exemplary polymeric materials include poly(D,L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), poly(caprolactone) (PCL), ethylene vinyl acetate polymer (EVA), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), poly(L -lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLLGA), poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLA), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), PLGA-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-PLGA (PLGA-bPEG-PLGA), PLLA-bPEG-PLLA, PLGA-PEG-m al eimide (PLGA-PEG-mal), poly(D,L-lactide-co-caprolactone), poly(D,L-lactide- co-caprolactone-co-glycolide), poly(D,L-lactide-co-PEO-co-D,L-lactide), poly(D,L-lactide-co- PPO-co-D,L-lactide), polyalkyl cyanoacralate, polyurethane, poly-L-lysine (PLL), hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA), polyethyleneglycol, poly-L-glutamic acid, poly(hydroxy acids), polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, poly(ester amides), polyamides, poly(ester ethers), polycarbonates, polyalkylenes such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyalkylene glycols such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), polyalkylene oxides (PEO), polyalkylene terephthalates such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), polyvinyl alcohols (PVA), polyvinyl ethers, polyvinyl esters such as poly(vinyl acetate), polyvinyl halides such as poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), polyvinylpyrrolidone, polysiloxanes, polystyrene (PS), polyurethanes, derivatized celluloses such as alkyl celluloses, hydroxyalkyl celluloses, cellulose ethers, cellulose esters, nitro celluloses, hydroxypropylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polymers of acrylic acids, such as poly(methyl(meth)acrylate) (PMMA), poly(ethyl(meth)acrylate), poly(butyl(meth)acrylate), poly(isobutyl(meth)acrylate), poly(hexyl(meth)acrylate), poly(isodecyl(meth)acrylate), poly(lauryl(meth)acrylate), poly(phenyl(meth)acrylate), poly(methyl acrylate), poly(isopropyl acrylate), poly(isobutyl acrylate), poly(octadecyl acrylate) (polyacrylic acids), and copolymers and mixtures thereof, polydioxanone and its copolymers, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polypropylene fumarate), polyoxymethylene, poloxamers, poly(ortho)esters, poly(butyric acid), poly(valeric acid), poly(lactide-co-caprolactone), trimethylene carbonate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyorthoesters, polyphosphazenes, Poly([beta]-amino esters (PBAE), and polyphosphoesters, and blends and / or block copolymers of two or more such polymers. Polymer-based systems may also include Cyclodextrin polymer (CDP)-based nanoparticles such as, for example, CDP- admantane (AD)-PEG conjugates and CDP-AD-PEG-transferrin conjugates.DBl / 162871737.3 200

[0025] In one embodiment, nanoparticles are formulated with Cas9 mRNA chemically modified to reduce TLR responses. In a further embodiment, the nanoparticles are formulated using controlled microfluidic mixing systems.

[0026] In one embodiment, the delivery system is a layer-by-layer particle system comprising two or more layers. In a further embodiment, the guide RNA and the nucleic acid editing system are present in different layers within the layer-by-layer particle. In a yet further embodiment, the guide RNA and nucleic acid editing system may be administered to a subject in a layer-by-layer particle system such that the release of the guide RNA and nucleic acid editing system from the particles can be controlled in a cell-specific and / or temporal fashion. In one embodiment, the layer-by-layer particle system is designed to allow temporally controlled expression of the guide RNA and the nucleic acid editing system as disclosed herein.

[0027] In some embodiments, the lipid-based delivery system comprises a lipid encapsulation system. The lipid encapsulation system can be designed to drive the desired tissue distribution and cellular entry properties, as well as to provide the requisite circulation time and biodegrading character. The lipid encapsulation may involve reverse micelles and / or further comprise polymeric matrices. In some embodiments, the particle includes a lipophilic delivery compound to enhance delivery of the particle to tissues, including in a preferential manner. Such compounds may generally include lipophilic groups and conjugated amino acids or peptides, including linear or cyclic peptides, and isomers thereof. Compounds can be engineered for targeting various tissues, including pancreas, spleen, liver, fat, kidneys, uterus / ovaries, muscle, heart, lungs, endothelial tissue, bone marrow, brain, skin, lymphatic system, lymph nodes, and thymus.3. Nucleic Acid Conjugates

[0028] In an embodiment, the disclosed LNPs and LNP formulations comprise a nucleic acid conjugate. In embodiments, the nucleic acid conjugate is a covalent biochemical conjugate. In embodiments, the nucleic acid conjugate is heterobifunctional. In embodiments, the nucleic conjugate is a short-interfering RNA (siRNA), oligonucleotide, antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), aptamers, and CpG deoxynucleotides.

[0029] In embodiments, the nucleic acid conjugate is a short interfering RNA (siRNA). Natural and synthetic siRNA can be taken up into a multiprotein complex, RISC (RNA-inducedDBl / 162871737.3 201silencing complex) consisting minimally of Dicer, Tar RNA Binding Protein (TRBP) and Ago2. Therapeutic siRNA can hence be optimized to cleave target specific mRNA, leading to the “knockdown” of the encoded protein. In an embodiment, the siRNA is conjugated to a small molecule ligand which targets and / or binds to a specific protein or proteins. This conjugation directs the siRNA to specific cells and enhances its cellular uptake, leading to more efficient knockdown.[00030J In an embodiment, the nucleic acid conjugate is a microRNA (miRNA) which are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression after transcription.

[0031] In embodiments, the nucleic acid conjugate is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO). Antisense oligonucleotides can work by altering the metabolism of RNAs by degrading or triggering the synthesis of precursor RNAs or mature mRNAs via base complementarity through a variety of mechanisms broadly classed as enzyme-active and splice-switching. Spliceswitching or enzyme-inactive ASOs possess backbones invisible to this enzymatic machinery and thus, can mask specific oligonucleotide sequences altering splicing decisions, reading frames, and other key steps in translation. Splice-switching ASOs can be used to restore the function of a defective gene, inhibit nonsense-mediated decay, and increase transcript stability.

[0032] In embodiments, the nucleic acid conjugate is an aptamer. Aptamers are three- dimensional DNA or RNA structures selected from a larger pool of sequences to bind a specific target, a small molecule or protein. Aptamers can possess significant advantages over their protein counterparts such as ease of screening and synthesis, smaller size, and increased permeability and stability.

[0033] In embodiments, the nucleic acid conjugate is a CpG Deoxynucleotide. CpG deoxynucleotides are short single-stranded DNAs that produce an immunostimulatory response. CG deoxynucleotides can activate dendritic cells and B cells by interacting with Toll-like receptor 9 resulting in a proinflammatory cascade.Table 3.

In certain embodiments, the antigen is a protein (including recombinant proteins), polypeptide, or peptide (including synthetic peptides). In certain embodiments, the antigen is a lipid or a carbohydrate (polysaccharide). In certain embodiments, the antigen is a protein extract, cell (including tumor cell), or tissue. The compositions provided herein can contain one or more antigens (e.g., at least two, three, four, five, or six antigens).[00035J In specific embodiments, antigens can be selected from the group consisting of the following: (a) polypeptides suitable to induce an immune response against cancer cells; (b) polypeptides suitable to induce an immune response against infectious diseases; (c) polypeptides suitable to induce an immune response against allergens; and (d) polypeptides suitable to induce an immune response in farm animals or pets.

[0036] In certain embodiments, the compositions of the invention can be used in combination with an immunoregulatory therapy to target either activating receptors or inhibitory receptors. See, e.g., Mellman et al., 2013, Nature 480:480-489. The immunoregulatory therapy can be, for example, a T cell engaging agent selected from agonistic antibodies which bind to human 0X40, to G1TR, to CD27, or to 4-IBB, and T-cell bispecific antibodies (e.g. T cellengaging BiTE™ antibodies CD3-CD19, CD3-EpCam, CD3-EGFR), IL-2 (Proleukin), Interferon (IFN) alpha, antagonizing antibodies which bind to human CTLA-4 (e.g. ipilimumab), to PD-1 , to PD-L1 , to TIM-3, to BTLA, to VISTA, to LAG-3, or to CD25.

[0037] In certain embodiments, the composition can be used to increase the amount of nucleic acid antigen transported into the lymphatic system and lymphatic nodes. Whereby, upon administration to a subject, the nucleic acid antigen delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the immune response by directing the nucleic acid antigens to specific cellular targets within the lymphatic system, thereby modulating the activity of immune cells in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with the immune system, that includes the treatments of cancers.

[0048] In certain embodiments, one or more antigens are physically encapsulated in the LNP during or after LNP preparation. Antigens physically encapsulated in the LNP can be prepared via confined-volume ethanol desolvation method as described, or via alternative techniques known in the art, including, but not limited to thin-film hydration, emulsion diffusion, or homogenization.

[0049] In certain embodiments of the invention, one or more of the antigens is adsorbed, covalently coupled, ionically-interacted, or formulated onto surfaces of the LNP adjuvant.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the LNP adjuvant may be co-administered with one or more antigens and / or one or more agonists.5. Antibody-Drug Conjugates

[0051] In another embodiment, the LNP encapsulates an ADC. In some embodiments, the ADC is administered independent of a LNP delivery system.DBl / 162871737.3 210

[0052] In embodiments herein, antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) are comprised of a monoclonal antibody (mAb), a cytotoxic payload, and a chemical linker. Once the ADC reaches the target cells, the mAb component recognizes and binds to the cell surface antigens, and the ADC-antigen complex is then internalized within the cancer cell by endocytosis to form an early endosome, which, following a maturation, forms late endosomes and finally fuses with lysosomes. The cytotoxic drug payload is then released from the mAb via either a chemical reaction or enzyme digestion in the lysosomes, and exerts its cytotoxic effect, causing cell apoptosis or death.

[0053] In addition to the cytotoxic properties from the payload, the Fc portion of the monoclonal antibody aids in immune-related cytotoxicities, such as antibody-dependent cell mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), antibody-dependent phagocytosis (ADP), and complementdependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Genetic engineering technologies have advanced to enhance the effector function of the antibody in the Fc region. Additionally, the binding of the antibody component of ADC with the specific antigen epitope of cancer cells can inhibit the downstream signal transduction of the antigen receptor.

[0054] An appropriate selection of target antigen is central to the design of an ADC. First, the antigen should be expressed, either exclusively or predominantly, in the tumor cells to reduce the off-target toxicity. Secondly, the binding to the target antigen should ideally lead to the internalization of the antigen-antibody complex. Additionally, it should ideally be on the surface rather than intracellular for it to be recognized, and lastly, it should not be secretory since a secreted antigen in the circulation would cause the undesirable ADC to bind outside of the tumor sites. Exemplary target antigens for ADC include but are not limited to, CD 19, CD22, CD30, CD33, and CD79b in hematological malignancies and HER2, trop2, nectin4, tissue factor, and folate receptor alpha (FRa) in solid cancers.

[0055] An ideal antibody moiety should facilitate an effective internalization, have high antigen affinity, preserve long plasma half-life, and demonstrate low immunogenicity. The mAb are large-sized and account for over 90% of the mass of any given ADC. This is favorable because it encounters reduced distribution or permeation into healthy tissue, including those normally functioning as metabolizing and eliminating organs. No such problem is encountered at the tumor site as the vasculature in the tumor is characteristically leaky and allows the distribution and permeation of the ADC to the tumor cells.DBl / 162871737.3 211

[0056] In an embodiment, there are two types of linkers in the ADC, including cleavable and non-cleavable. The cleavable linkers are either chemically labile (hydrazone bond and disulfide bond) or enzymatically labile. Hydrazone linkers are generally stable in alkaline environments and are hydrolyzed in low pH environments, such as that in the lysosome and endosome. Hence, the cleavage of ADC with hydrazone linkers occurs predominantly in the lysosome and endosome upon internalization, with occasional hydrolysis in the plasma, resulting in off-target, systemic toxicity. Similarly, a disulfide bond linker can be stable in the plasma or serum while specifically releasing the active payloads in the cancer cells with an elevated reductive glutathione level. The enzyme sensitive linkers are sensitive to the lysosomal protease that is generally overexpressed in cancer cells, enabling an accurate drug release in the cells after internalization. ADCs with non-cleavable linkers are resistant to chemical or enzymatic digestion in the plasma or serum and will require complete degradation of the antibody within the late endosomes and lysosome to release the payload. Therefore, ADC with non-cleavable linkers may have the lowest off-target systemic toxicity due to increased plasma or serum stability and thus they are most suitable in the treatment of tumors with homogenous antigen expression. In an embodiment, some of the ADC have been engineered to have desirable “off-target effect” for “by-stander killing” extending the cytotoxic effect to the low or negative antigen-expressing cells in the tumor proximity. For this mechanism to work, several characteristics of the ADC molecules are crucial: namely, a cleavable linker and a non-polar, freely membrane-permeable payload. Conversely, to reduce the undesirable systemic toxicity from payload molecules permeating out of the tumor cells, ionizable payloads (e.g. containing carboxylic acids) can be used.

[0057] In an embodiment, the cytotoxic payloads can preferably have the following properties. High potency, in vitro high cytotoxic activity (e.g., sub-nanomolar half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value), high stability in the systemic circulation, sufficient solubility in the aqueous environment of antibody and biochemical properties to allow easier conjugation to the antibody, low immunogenicity, small molecular weight, and a long half-life. In an embodiment, there are mainly two classes of cytotoxic drugs used as payloads, comprising microtubule inhibitors or DNA damaging agents.

[0058] In an embodiment, auristatins and maytansines payloads are both cytotoxic agents that work as tubulin inhibitors. Auristatin is a dolastatin synthetic analog. There are twoDBl / 162871737.3 212auristatin derivatives: one is monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) and the other is monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF). These two cytotoxic agents differ structurally wherein the phenylalanine present at the C-terminus renders MMAF membrane-impermeable, whereas the MMAE can exit the cell and thus diffuse to nearby cells and kill them through the bystander effects. In an embodiment, the cytoxic agent is selected from maytansinoids which are natural cytotoxic agents isolated from the cortex of Maytenus serrata, which possesses a macrolide structure.[00059J In an embodiment, the cytotoxic agents are selected from calicheamicins, pyrrolobenzodiazepines and topoisomerase inhibitors which are DNA-damaging agents that act through DNA double strand breaks, crosslinking, and intercalation, respectively. Both gemtuzumab ozogamicin and inotuzumab Ozogamicin have N-acetyl gamma calicheamicin as a payload. Calicheamicins belong to a class of potent anti-tumor antibiotics that cleave the DNA in a site-specific, double-stranded manner. Pyrrolobenzodiazepines are another class of antibiotics derived from Streptomyces species and is used as a cytotoxic payload in Loncastuximab Tesirine. SN-38 and Deruxtecan are topoisomerase inhibitors that are the cytotoxic components of Sacituzumab Govitecan and Trastuzumab Deruxtecan, respectively. Any of the above cytotoxic agents are embodied in the ADC.

[0060] In addition to the choice of the antibody, the linker, and the payload, the method of conjugation is also important for the successful structure of ADC. In an embodiment, the lysine and cysteine residues on the antibody provide the accessible reaction sites for conjugation. In an embodiment, a varying number (0-8) of small-molecule toxins may be attached to an antibody, as the conventional conjugation methods are random, resulting in a wide drugantibody ratio (DAR) distribution. In an embodiment, the ideal DAR is 2-4. A low DAR can lower the efficacy, while a high DAR may increase the drug potency.

[0061] Exemplary ADC, antigen targets, linkers and cytotoxins for use in the present disclosure are included in Table 4 below.Table 4. Exemplary ADC, antigen targets, linkers, and cytotoxins.DBl / 162871737.3 213DB1 / 162871737.3 214

[0062] In embodiments herein, an antibody-drug conjugate is provided in a suspension. The suspension includes any suitable suspension of an antibody-drug conjugate, such as those exemplified. Combinations and treatment regimens are provided herein in which an antibodydrug conjugate is administered in combination with a soluble hyaluronidase.

[0063] In certain embodiments, the composition of the invention can be used to increase the amount of ADC transported into the lymphatic system and lymphatic nodes. Upon administration to a subject, the ADC delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the immune response by directing the ADC to specific cellular targets within the lymphatic system, thereby modulating the activity of immune cells in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with the immune system, that includes the treatments of cancers.6. Monoclonal Antibodies

[0064] In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates a therapeutic monoclonal antibody.

[0065] The term “antibody” is used in the broadest sense and specifically includes monoclonal antibodies (including full length monoclonal antibodies), multi-specific antibodies (e g. bispecific antibodies), and antibody fragments that exhibit a desired biological activity or function.

[0066] An antibody generally comprises two heavy chains and two light chains, each comprising a variable domain and a constant domain. Each variable domain contains a hypervariable region containing three complementarity determining regions (CDR) flanked by four segments of the framework region. As used herein, the “framework region” contains all four segments FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4 that flank a set of three hypervariable regions.DBl / 162871737.3 215

[0067] Antibodies can be chimeric, humanized, or human, for example, and can be antigen-binding fragments of these. Antibodies are generally produced by immunizing an animal with an antigen, and can be produced by recombinant technology, or by synthesis of the amino acid sequence, for example. “Antibody fragments” comprise a portion of a full-length antibody, generally the antigen binding or variable region thereof. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab', F(ab')2 and Fv fragments; diabodies; linear antibodies; single-chain antibody molecules; and multispecific antibodies such as bispecific antibodies, for example formed from antibody fragments. “Functional fragments” substantially retain binding to an antigen of the full- length antibody and retain a biological activity.

[0068] The term “monoclonal antibody” as used herein refers to an antibody obtained from a population of substantially homogeneous antibodies, i.e. the individual antibodies of the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigenic site. Furthermore, in contrast to conventional (polyclonal) antibody preparations that typically include different antibodies directed against different determinants (epitopes), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen. The modifier “monoclonal” indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, monoclonal antibodies may be made by the hybridoma method first described by Kohler (1975), Nature 256:495, or may be made by recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567). The “monoclonal antibodies” may also be isolated from phage antibody libraries.

[0069] Chimeric” antibodies (immunoglobulins) contain a portion of a heavy and / or light chain identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from a particular species or belonging to a particular antibody class or subclass, while the remainder of the chain(s) is identical with or homologous to corresponding sequences in antibodies derived from another species or belonging to another antibody class or subclass, as well as fragments of such antibodies, so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity (U.S. Patent No. 4,816,567). A “humanized antibody” as the term is used herein, is a subset of chimeric antibodies.DBl / 162871737.3 216

[0070] ‘Humanized” forms of non-human (e.g. murine) antibodies are chimeric antibodies that contain minimal sequence derived from nonhuman immunoglobulin. For the most part, humanized antibodies are human immunoglobulins (recipient or acceptor antibody) in which variable domain hypervariable region residues of the recipient antibody are replaced by hypervariable region residues from a non-human species (donor antibody), such as mouse, rat, rabbit, or non-human primate having the desired specificity, affinity, and capacity. The hypervariable regions can be complementarity-determining regions (CDR) defined by sequence, or hypervariable loops (HVL) defined by structure, or both. In some embodiments, the variable domain framework regions are derived from a consensus sequence variable domain, for example, containing at each residue an amino acid compiled as most abundant at that position in a class or subclass of human immunoglobulin variable domains, for example, in a Kabat compilation. In some instances, one or more amino acids of the variable domain framework region (FR) of the human immunoglobulin or consensus sequence is replaced with one or more corresponding residues of the non-human donor antibody and / or one or more amino acids of the donor antibody hypervariable regions is replaced with one or more corresponding human residues of the human recipient variable domain. In some instances, one or more residues of the variable domain framework regions and / or hypervariable regions is a residue not found at the corresponding position in the recipient antibody or in the donor antibody. Modifications to the amino acid sequence of the variable domain framework regions and hypervariable regions are generally made to further refine antibody performance, for example, improve binding affinity. In general, the humanized antibodies used to produce the pan-specific antibodies described herein will comprise substantially all of at least one, and typically two, variable domains, in which all or substantially all of the hypervariable region residues (CDR or HVL) correspond to those of a nonhuman immunoglobulin and all or substantially all of the framework region (FR) residues correspond to those of a human variable domain consensus sequence, and may include one or more amino acid substitutions. In some embodiments, the number of amino acid substitutions in the human consensus framework region is typically no more than 10, and may be, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 substitutions in the heavy chain variable domain framework regions, and 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 substitutions in the light chain variable domain framework region. The humanized antibody optionally comprises at least a portion of an immunoglobulin constant region, typically that of a human immunoglobulin.DBl / 162871737.3 217

[0071] An “Fv” fragment is an antibody fragment that contains a complete antigen recognition and binding site and generally comprises a dimer of one heavy and one light chain variable domain in tight association that can be covalent in nature, for example in a single chain variable domain fragment (scFv). It is in this configuration that the three hypervariable regions of each variable domain interact to define an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer. Collectively, the six hypervariable regions or a subset thereof confer antigen binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a single variable domain comprising only three hypervariable regions specific for an antigen has the ability to recognize and bind antigen.

[0072] “Single-chain Fv” or “scFv” antibody fragments comprise the VH and VL domains of antibody, where these domains are present in a single polypeptide chain. Generally, the Fv polypeptide further comprises a polypeptide linker between the VH and VL domains that enables the scFv to form the desired structure for antigen binding.

[0073] A “Fab” fragment includes a variable domain and a constant domain of the light chain and a variable domain and the first constant domain (CHI) of the heavy chain. A Fab1fragment includes one or more cysteine carboxy terminal linkages to the heavy or light chains. F(ab')2 antibody fragments comprise a pair of Fab fragments that are generally covalently linked near their carboxy termini by hinge cysteines. Other chemical couplings of antibody fragments are also known.

[0074] The term “diabodies” refers to small antibody fragments with two antigen-binding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy chain variable domain (VH) connected to a light chain variable domain (VL) in the same polypeptide chain (VH and VL). By using a linker that is too short to allow pairing between the two variable domains on the same chain, the variable domains are forced to pair with complementary domains of another chain, creating two antigen-binding sites.

[0075] The term “hypervariable region” when used herein refers to the amino acid residues of an antibody that are responsible for antigen-binding. The hypervariable region comprises amino acid residues from a “complementarity-determining region” or “CDR” (defined by sequence as residues 24-34 (LI), 50-56 (L2) and 89-97 (L3) in the light chain variable domain and 31-35 (Hl), 50-65 (H2) and 95-102 (H3) in the heavy chain variable domain (Kabat (1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, National Institutes of Health) and / or those residues from a hypervariable loop. In one example, HVL residues can include, 26-32 (LI),DBl / 162871737.3 21850-52 (L2) and 91-96 (L3) in the light chain variable domain and 26-32 (Hl), 53-55 (H2) and 96-101 (H3) in the heavy chain variable domain.

[0076] “Framework region” or “FR” residues are those variable domain residues flanking the hypervariable region residues as herein defined. In general, a variable domain contains three hypervariable regions flanked by four sequences of the framework region (FR1, FR2, FR3, and FR4).

[0077] The term “consensus sequence” as used herein, refers to an artificial variable domain sequence comprising at each position the residue that is most abundant at that position in the variable domains of a group of antibodies of a particular class. The consensus variable domain sequences do not have any known antibody binding specificity or affinity.

The suspension includes any suitable suspension of a monoclonal antibody, such as thoseDB1 / 162871737.3 225exemplified. Combinations and treatment regimens are provided herein in which a monoclonal antibody is administered in combination with a soluble hyaluronidase.

[0080] In certain embodiments, disclosure describes a monoclonal antibody delivery system used to increase the amount of a monoclonal antibody transported into the lymphatic system and lymphatic nodes. In these embodiments, upon administration to a subject, the monoclonal antibody delivery system in combination with a hyaluronidase synergistically enhances the immune response by directing the monoclonal antibody to specific cellular targets within the lymphatic system. In this embodiment, upon administration the combination modulates the activity of immune cells in a manner that improves the treatment of the disease or condition associated with the immune system. In various embodiments the disease / condition being treated is a cancer.7. Cancer Therapies

[0081] In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates a cancer therapy. In some embodiments, the cancer therapy is an antitumor agent. In some embodiments, the LNP is selected from liposomes, cubosomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), microemulsions (ME), nanoemulsions (NE), and Pickering emulsions (PE). In some embodiments, the cancer therapy is encapsulated by liposomes, cubosomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), microemulsions (ME), nanoemulsions (NE), or Pickering emulsions (PE).

[0082] In some embodiments, the LNP encapsulated cancer therapy is administered to treat a cancer selected from pancreatic cancer, intestinal cancer, myelodysplastic syndrome, kidney cancer, liver cancer, thyroid cancer, renal cell carcinoma, adrenal cell carcinoma, head and neck cancer, pharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, retinoblastoma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, low grade glioma, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, melanoma, osteosarcoma, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), urothelial carcinoma, bladder cancer, gastric cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphocytic lymphoma (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), mast cell leukemia (MCL), lymphoblastic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone B-cellDBl / 162871737.3 226lymphomas, extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas, nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, primary central nervous system lymphoma, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), high risk myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasm myelodysplastic syndrome, myelofibrosis, uveal melanoma, synovial sarcoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pancreatic ducal adenocarcinoma, advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma, oral cancer, gastroesophageal malignancy, glioblastoma multiforme, giant cell glioblastoma, brain cancer, glioma, oligodendrogliomas, colon cancer, colorectal adenocarcinoma, KRAS-driven lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, extensive stage lung small cell carcinoma, astrocytoma, metastatic castration-prostate cancer, advanced sarcoma, metastatic sarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, breast cancer, acute leukemia, myelofibrosis leukemia, eosinophilic leukemia, and T-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma.

[0083] In some embodiments, the LNP encapsulated cancer therapy is administered to treat a KRAS-driven cancer selected from KRAS-driven pancreatic cancer, KRAS-driven intestinal cancer, KRAS-driven myelodysplastic syndrome, KRAS-driven kidney cancer, KRAS-driven liver cancer, KRAS-driven thyroid cancer, KRAS-driven renal cell carcinoma, KRAS-driven adrenal cell carcinoma, KRAS-driven head and neck cancer, KRAS-driven colorectal cancer, KRAS-driven lung cancer, KRAS-driven ovarian cancer, KRAS-driven endometrial cancer, KRAS-driven cervical cancer, KRAS-driven prostate cancer, KRAS-driven testicular cancer, KRAS-driven melanoma, KRAS-driven osteosarcoma, KRAS-driven triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), KRAS-driven urothelial carcinoma, KRAS-driven bladder cancer, KRAS-driven gastric cancer, KRAS-driven leukemia, KRAS-driven lymphoma, KRAS-driven multiple myeloma, KRAS-driven uveal melanoma, KRAS-driven synovial sarcoma, KRAS-driven oral cancer, KRAS-driven brain cancer, KRAS-driven colon cancer, KRAS-driven colorectal adenocarcinoma, KRAS-driven lung cancer, KRAS-driven prostate cancer, KRAS-driven sarcoma, and KRAS-driven breast cancer.

[0084] As described herein, cubosomes are lipid vesicles that are comparable to vesicular systems like liposomes. They are dispersions of one of the bicontinuous cubic phases that have a lamellar wall. Cubosomes may be created with certain amphiphilic lipids in the presence of a suitable stabilizer. In some embodiments, cubosomes are nanostructured liquid-crystalline particles formed of specific amphiphilic lipids in different ratios.DBl / 162871737.3 227

[0085] As described herein, niosomes are delivery devices that can be used to deliver the compositions disclosed herein. Niosomes are multilamellar or unilamellar vesicles involving non-ionic surfactants. An aqueous solution of solute is enclosed by a bilayer resulting from the organization of surfactant macromolecules. Similar to liposomes, niosomes are used in targeted delivery of, for example, anticancer drugs, including methotrexate, doxorubicin, and immunoadjuvants. They are generally understood to be different from transferosomes, vesicles prepared from amphiphilic carbohydrate and amino group containing polymers, e.g., chitosan.

[0086] As used herein, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) are colloidal drug carriers and dynamic structures that are typically synthesized from phospholipids, lipids, and excipients. They are composed of an outer phase membrane of lipids and / or phospholipids and an inner phase solid lipid inner core. SLNs have a mean particle size in the nanometer range. SLNs combine the advantages of emulsions, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles. The solid matrix can protect incorporated active ingredients against chemical degradation and provide the highest flexibilities in the modulation of the drug release profiles. SLNs provide controlled release, efficient targeting, and stability. SLNs are particulates structurally related to polymeric nanoparticles. However, in contrast to polymeric systems, SLNs can be composed of biocompatible lipids that are physiologically well tolerated when administered in vivo and may also be prepared without organic solvents.

[0087] As used herein, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are colloidal carriers and a second generation evolvement of SLNs. NLCs are characterized by an outer phase phospholipid and / or lipid membrane and an inner phase lipid core consisting of a mixture of solid and liquid lipids. NLCs have a mean particle size in the nanometer range. NLC controlled nanostructuring of the lipid matrix is performed due to the mixture of solid and liquid lipids, in order to increase drug loading and prevent its expulsion. In addition, the NLC nanostructured lipid matrix gives more flexibility in modulation of drug release. NLCs are composed of a lipid matrix of cannabinoids with a nanostructure that improves cannabinoid loading and firmly retains the cannabinoids during storage.

[0088] As used herein, a microemulsion is an aqueous suspension of pseudomicelles which contain relatively hydrophobic lipid centers surrounded by a monolayer of amphipatic (sometimes spelled amphipathic) molecules bearing hydrophilic moieties. The concentration of pseudomicelles in the aqueous suspension is typically about 0.1 mg / ml-10 mg / ml. In theDBl / 162871737.3 228microemulsions of the invention, the diameter of the pseudomicelles is approximately 500-1.500 A. preferably 700-1.300 A. The nature of the pseudomicellular particle is different from that of liposomes, which are unilamellar or multilamellar particles of bilayers, wherein the bilayers have hydrophilic surfaces on either side. Thus, liposomes have hydrophilic interiors as well as exteriors and are often of smaller dimension, i.e. of the order of 50-300 A. Liposomes are appropriate for delivery of hydrophilic, rather than hydrophobic, active ingredients.[00089J As used herein, a nanoemulsion (NE) is a nanosized colloidal system that consists of poorly water soluble compounds, suspended in an appropriate dispersion medium (oil-in- water emulsion) stabilized by surfactants. NEs are carrier systems in the nanometer size comprising a continuous aqueous phase and at least one dispersed oily phase, in which the oily phase comprises at least one amphiphilic lipid such as phospholipids and at least one solubilizing lipid with a monolayer around an amorphous core.

[0090] In certain embodiments, the composition of the invention can be used to increase the amount of cancer therapy transported into the lymphatic system and lymphatic nodes. In these embodiments, upon administration to a subject, the cancer therapy delivery system in combination with PH20 synergistically enhances the immune response by directing the cancer therapy to specific cellular targets within the lymphatic system. In some embodiments, the cancer therapy delivery system modulates, thereby modulating the activity of immune cells in a manner that is therapeutically beneficial for the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with the treatments of cancers.

[0091] In some embodiments, the composition of the invention is used to improve the pharmacokinetic parameters of the cancer therapy. In particular embodiments, the administration of a cancer therapy encapsulated in an LNP in combination with a hyaluronidase enzyme increase the Cmax of the cancer therapy. In embodiments, the Cmax is increased by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%>, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 100%. In particular embodiments, the administration of a cancer therapy encapsulated in an LNP in combination with a hyaluronidase enzyme increase the Tmax of the cancer therapy.

[0092] In some embodiments, the composition of the invention is used to improve the solubility of the cancer therapy. In particular embodiments, the administration of a cancer therapy encapsulated in an LNP in combination with a hyaluronidase enzyme increase the solubility of the cancer therapy. In embodiments, the solubility is increased by at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 100%.

[0094] In an embodiment, the LNP encapsulates a radiopharmacetuical. In some embodiments, the radiopharmaceutical comprises one or more of a radioisotiope and a radioligand. In some embodiments, the LNP is selected from liposomes, cubosomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), microemulsions (ME), nanoemulsions (NE), and Pickering emulsions (PE). In some embodiments, the radiopharmceutical is encapsulated by liposomes, cubosomes, niosomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), microemulsions (ME), nanoemulsions (NE), or Pickering emulsions (PE).

[0095] In certain embodiments, radioisotope (also referred to in the art as a radionuclide) can be selected such that its decay chain releases one or more of alpha radiation, beta radiation, gamma radiation, Auger electrons, and / or x-rays. The radioactive isotope of the present invention can be selected to enable imaging and / or radiotherapy. The radioactive isotopes of the present invention may include radioactive metal or semi-metal isotopes. Preferably, the radioactive isotopes are water soluble metal cations. Exemplary radioisotopes include1SF,32P,

[0096] The radioisotope may be bound to a pharmaceutical compound to provide a radiopharmaceutical compound that transports it to a required location in the bodyDB1 / 162871737.3 232after administration. Radiopharmaceuticals have been used for a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic indications. Among others, radiolabeled molecules have been useful to treat various malignant tumors. The majority of radiopharmaceuticals are used for in vivo imaging, and comprise a radionuclide having emissions suitable for detection, typically by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or positron emission tomography (PET).

[0097] In embodiments, the radiopharmaceutical comprises a chelating moiety. The chelating moiety can comprise any chelator known in the art that is suitable for chelating a particular radioisotope, see, e.g., Parus et al., “Chemistry and bifunctional chelating agents for binding (177) Lu,” Curr Radi opharm. 2015; 8(2):86-94; Wangler et al., “Chelating agents and their use in radiopharmaceutical sciences,” Mini Rev Med Chem. 201 1 October; 1 1(11 ):968-83; Liu, “Bifunctional Coupling Agents for Radiolabeling of Biomolecules and Target-Specific Delivery of Metallic Radionuclides,” Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2008 September; 60(12): 1347-1370.

Methods of Administration, Regimens, and Combinations1. Methods of Administration

[0101] In an embodiment, each of the hyaluronidase and the LNP formulation can be administered to a patient via injection. In an embodiment the hyaluronidase and the LNP formulation is administered subcutaneously. For example, the hyaluronidase and the LNP formulation can be administered to a patient subcutaneously in the abdominal tissue, leg or arm. The hyaluronidase and the LNP formulation can be administered separately or in the same composition.

[0102] The compositions for administration to a patient via an injection (e.g. subcutaneously) also may comprise suitable inert additives, stabilizers, carriers, or excipients. In an embodiment, the injectable composition comprises histidine. In an embodiment, the injectable composition comprises sodium chloride. In an embodiment, the injectable composition comprises polysorbate. In an embodiment, the polysorbate comprises polysorbate 80. In an embodiment, the injectable composition comprises an antioxidant. In an embodiment, the antioxidant comprises methionine.

[0103] It is shown and described herein that when an LNP formulation is administered in combination with the hyaluronidase, dispersion of the co-injected drugs or co-delivered is enhanced. By depolymerizing hyaluronan, hyaluronidase temporarily facilitates dispersion by reducing the viscosity of interstices. The permeability barrier in these tissues is restored to preinjection levels within 24 to 48 hours after injection of hyaluronidase. This allows for higher volumes in a single injection of the LNP formulation to be administered to the patient.

[0104] When administered in separate compositions, the hyaluronidase and the LNP formulation are injected as close to the same site as possible. For example, in an embodiment, hyaluronidase is first injected into a patient at a first injection site and subsequently the LNP formulation is injected at the same injection site or at an injection site as close to the first injection site as possible.

[0105] In some embodiments, a hyaluronidase is used, at a dose amount ranging between 1-50,000 Units for subcutaneous injection. The administered subcutaneous dose of hyaluronidase is about 1 Unit to 50,000 Units. The hyaluronidase is administered at a dose amount of less than 40,000U, less than 30,000U, less than 20,000U, less than 10,000U, less than 9000U, less thanDBl / 162871737.3 2398000U, less than 7000U, less than 6000U, less than 5000U less than 4000U, less than 3000U, less than 2000U, less than 1000U, less than 900U, less than 8OOU, less than 700U, less than 600U, or less than 5OOU.

In some other embodiments, the hyaluronidase enzyme is administered at a dose amount of at least 160U, at least 180U, at least 200U, at least 220U, at least 240U, at least 260U, at least 280U, at least 300U, at least 320U, at least 340U, at least 360U, at least 380U, or at least 400U. In one or more embodiments, a porcine (pig) hyaluronidase is used at a dose ranging between 1-50,000 Units. The hyaluronidase enzyme is administered at a dose amount of less than 40,000U, less than 30,000U, less than 20,000U, less than 10,000U, less than 9000U, less than 8000U, less than 7000U, less than 6000U, less than 5000U less than 4000U, less than 3000U, less than 2000U, less than 1000U, less than 900U, less than 800U, less than 700U, less than 600U, or less than 500U. In embodiments the hyaluronidase enzyme is administered at a dose amount of at least 1U, at least 5U, at least 10U, at least 20U, at least 30U, at least 40U, at least 50U, at least 60U, at least 70U, at least 80U, at least 100U, or at least 150U. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase enzyme is administered at a dose amount of at least 160U, at least 180U, at least 200U, at least 220U, at least 240U, at least 260U, at least 280U, at least 300U, at least 320U, at least 340U, at least 360U, at least 380U, or at least 400U.

[0106] In embodiments, an International Unit for hyaluronidase may be defined as the activity of 0.1 mg of the International Standard Preparation and is equal to one turbidity reducing unit (TRU). As used herein, enzyme units are defined by a turbimetric assay in which hyaluronic acid, a complex carbohydrate polymer, is hydrolyzed to di- and mono-saccharides by hyaluronidase. Turbidity is assayed at an optical density of 600 nm (ODgoo) and one unit yields a 0.33 ODeoo change per minute at pH 5.35, T=37 °C in a 2 mL volume, where the reaction time is over a 45 minute period. Accordingly, high purity hyaluronidase has a higher specific activity (Units / mg of protein).

[0107] In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity may be quantified as a function of turbidity, which is measured through optical density. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity may be quantified by HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography). In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is from 75% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is fromDBl / 162871737.3 24080% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is from 85% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is from 90% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is from 95% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is from 98% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is from 99% to 100%. In embodiments, the hyaluronidase purity is at least 75%, at least 76%, at least 77%, at least 78%, at least 79%, at least 80%, at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84 %, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 87%, at least 88%, at least 89%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.1%, at least 99.2%, at least 99.3%, at least 99.4%, at least 99.5%, at least 99.6%, at least 99.7%, at least 99.8%, or at least 99.9%.

[0108] In embodiments, hyaluronidase is administered simultaneously with the nucleic acid encapsulated by the lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, hyaluronidase may be administered prior to the administration of the nucleic acid encapsulated by the lipid nanoparticle. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encapsulated by the lipid nanoparticle and the hyaluronidase enzyme are part of the same formulation. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid encapsulated by the lipid nanoparticle and the hyaluronidase enzyme are injected as separate formulations.

[0109] In embodiments, the hyaluronidase enzyme may be administered in an aqueous solution. In embodiments, the enzyme is administered in saline solution. In some embodiments the hyaluronidase enzyme is part of the lipid nanoparticle formulation and is present in the same solution, the solution comprising nucleic acid encapsulated lipid nanoparticles. In some embodiments a lyophilized preparation comprising the nucleic acid encapsulated lipid nanoparticles and the hyaluronidase enzyme is formulated for therapeutic use.

[0110] In embodiments, the hyaluronidase may be a recombinant hyaluronidase.

[0111] In some embodiments of the combination dosing regimen, the hyaluronidase is administered in an amount effective to increase duration of the production of the functional protein encoded by the mRNA or DNA.

[0112] In some embodiments of the combination dosing regimen, the hyaluronidase is administered in an amount effective to increase the duration of the decrease in the production of the protein inhibited by the siRNA or miRNA.2.
