Patent number: 11674153Abstract: Viral vectors are provided for use as genetic immunotherapeutic agents, including preventive and therapeutic vaccines as well as compositions to enhance cellular immune responses and innate immune responses. The vectors are particularly useful for treating or preventing cancer and infectious diseases. The vectors include lentiviral vectors that encode one or more antigens, a combination of adjuvants, and optionally may encode one or more soluble and secreted checkpoint inhibitor molecules. The adjuvants include latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) from Epstein Barr virus and a fusion protein including LMP1 with in which the intracytoplasmic domain has been replaced by human IPS1 or a variant thereof capable of activating the STING pathway. The vector-encoded sequences are codon optimized for human expression.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Inventors: Cécile Bauche, Renaud Vaillant, Emeline Sarry, Frédéric Mourlane

Publication number: 20230140346Abstract: Promoter sequences for use in expressing a transgene in CD3+ cells are provided. The promoter sequences can be inserted into a vector in a 5? untranslated region proximal to a transgene. The promoters are selective for expression in CD3+ cells and contain binding sites for transcription factors found in CD3+ cells. The promoters can be integrated into vectors, including polymer-encapsulated lentiviral vector nanoparticles, used to transduce T-cells for genetic immunotherapy to treat cancer and infectious diseases. The T-cell selectivity of the promoters adds an improved safety factor to the use of viral vectors for immunotherapy in vitro and in vivo.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Cécile BAUCHE, Frédéric MOURLANE, Renaud VAILLANT, Rachel PACHERIE

Publication number: 20220403416Abstract: Polymer-encapsulated viral vector nanoparticles and methods of using them provide enhanced delivery of genetic material for use in gene therapy and other applications. The nanoparticles include an outer shell containing an oligopeptide-modified poly(beta-amino ester) polymer which encapsulates the vector and allows the vector to transduce cells without the need for pseudotyping or the inclusion of any viral fusion protein, such as VSV-G. The polymer-encapsulated vector nanoparticles have a natural tropism for peripheral blood cells, such as leucocytes, without the need for a targeting moiety, and have an improved safety profile compared to pseudotyped viral vectors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2020Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Frédéric MOURLANE, Emeline SARRY, Renaud VAILLANT, Cécile BAUCHE, Phiilippe BISHOP, Rachel PACHERIE

Publication number: 20210292760Abstract: An aptamer-based switch technology is provided that enhances control of the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-related immunotherapies. The aptamer-based switch utilizes a synthetic bridge molecule containing a target-binding aptamer bound through a linker to a CAR-binding aptamer. A system containing a CAR and a corresponding aptameric bridge provides an immunotherapy platform that: (i) can be targeted to any desired antigen by choosing the target-binding aptamer of the bridge, (ii) can be redirected from one target to another by changing the target-binding aptamer; (iii) can be dosed according to the changing needs of an individual patient overtime by altering the administration protocol for the bridge; (iv) can be switched on or off quickly or gradually; (v) can be used as a companion diagnostic for a specific CAR therapy; (vi) can be integrated with either in vivo or ex vivo CAR expression; (vii) is non-immunogenic; and (viii) has low production costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: September 23, 2021Inventors: Anna MIODEK, Frédéric MOURLANE, Cécile BAUCHE, Renaud VAILLANT, Philippe BISHOP
