  • Publication number: 20260041769
    Abstract: The invention relates to agents and methods for targeted delivery of nucleic acids to cells. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid payload comprises a nucleic acid encoding an antigen receptor such as a T cell receptor (TCR) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The agents and methods for targeted delivery of a nucleic acid encoding an antigen receptor described herein may be used for generating in vitro/ex vivo or in vivo immune effector cells genetically modified to express an antigen receptor.

  • Publication number: 20250367320
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to RNA particles for delivery of RNA to target tissues after administration, in particular after parenteral administration such as intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous or intratumoral administration, and compositions comprising such RNA particles. The RNA particles in one embodiment comprise single-stranded RNA such as mRNA which encodes a peptide or protein of interest, such as a pharmaceutically active peptide or protein. The RNA is taken up by cells of a target tissue and the RNA is translated into the encoded peptide or protein, which may exhibit its physiological activity.

  • Publication number: 20250255817
    Abstract: A nanoprecipitation or nanoemulsion method forms a polynucleotide delivery particle, wherein the polynucleotide delivery particle contains at least one poly(lactic-co-glycolide), at least one cationic surfactant, at least one polynucleotide, and optionally at least one additive, wherein the poly(lactic-co-glycolide) has a weight average molecular weight Mw of 1000 to 9500 g/mol measured via gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene standards and chloroform. The polynucleotide delivery particle as an additional component in an oral drug delivery composition or a parenteral drug delivery composition supports the beneficial characteristics of the application as a medicament.

  • Publication number: 20250213599
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising polyplex formulations for delivery of RNA to a target organ or a target cell after parenteral administration, in particular after intramuscular administration. More precisely, the present invention relates to formulations for administration of RNA such as self-replicating RNA, in particular by intramuscular injection. In more detail, the formulations comprise polyplex particles from single stranded RNA and a polyalkyleneimine.

  • Publication number: 20240245611
    Abstract: A process for preparing a polymer-coated hard shell capsule that has at least a functional coat and a top coat, suitable as container for pharmaceutical or nutraceutical biologically active ingredients can be performed. The hard shell capsule has a body and a cap, wherein in the closed state the cap overlaps the body either in a pre-locked state or in a final-locked state, wherein the hard shell capsule is provided in the pre-locked state and is coated with a first coating solution, suspension or dispersion that has at least one polymer; optionally at least one glidant; optionally at least one emulsifier; optionally at least one plasticizer; optionally at least one biologically active ingredient; and optionally at least one additive. The polymer-coated hard shell capsule obtained from the process according to the invention can be used for immediate, delayed or sustained release.

  • Publication number: 20230049655
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to therapies involving immune effector cells such as T cells engineered to express antigen receptors such as T cell receptors (TCRs) or chimeric antigen receptors (CARs). It is demonstrated herein that such antigen receptor-engineered immune effector cells may be generated in vitro/ex vivo as well as in vitro by delivering nucleic acid encoding an antigen receptor for genetic modification to cells using particles comprising the nucleic acid and a targeting molecule for targeting the immune effector cells, wherein the targeting molecule is a designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin). In particular, DARPins are described herein which are high-affinity binders for CDS binding to the CDS receptor on human and non-human primate (NHP) cells. Nanoparticles functionalized with CD8? targeting DARPins (CDS-DARPin) can deliver genes exclusively and specifically to human CD8+ T cells in vitro and in vivo.
