  • Patent number: 11975013
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising thiotepa and one selected from PEG, such as PEG400 or PEG600, and DMSO, and optionally water or an aqueous saline solution and thiosulfate. The composition is free or substantially free of impurities. Also provided is a method for treating cancer in a subject, or myeloablation prior to bone marrow transplantation using the composition. A method for enhancing the stability of a thiotepa formulation is also contemplated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 1, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024
    Assignee: SHORLA PHARMA LTD.
    Inventors: Sharon Cunningham, Orlaith Ryan, Johannes Jan Platteeuw
  • Patent number: 11938197
    Abstract: Polynucleotides and vectors can be used for the expression of a transgene in cells, such as liver cells. The expression of the transgene from the polynucleotides and vectors can be useful in gene therapy. Various methods can be used for expressing the transgene from the polynucleotides and vectors in liver cells.

  • Patent number: 11351272
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for facilitating or inducing stable transgene integration and expression in a proliferating cell, comprising administering to the cell (i) a recombinant AAV (rAAV) vector comprising the transgene flanked by transposon-derived inverted terminal repeat sequences, which sequences are in turn flanked by AAV-derived inverted terminal repeat regions, and (ii) a source of a transposase that recognises said transposon-derived inverted terminal repeat sequences and directs the genomic integration of the transgene into the genome of the proliferating cell. Also provide are methods and transgene delivery systems for the treatment or prevention of diseases affecting, associated with or characterised by proliferating cells.
