Patent number: 12365726Abstract: The present disclosure provides a construct comprising a coding sequence operably linked to a promoter, wherein the coding sequence encodes a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binding agent or a portion thereof. In some embodiments, a construct is an AAV construct. In some embodiments, an AAV construct is a part of an AAV particle. Compositions comprising constructs and AAV particles described herein can be useful in treating hearing loss, for example, hearing loss associated with vestibular schwannoma.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2023Date of Patent: July 22, 2025Assignee: Akouos, Inc.Inventors: Emmanuel John Simons, Robert Ng, Michael McKenna
