  • Publication number: 20240024422
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to polynucleotides comprising an open reading frame of linked nucleosides encoding human interleukin-12 (IL12), functional fragments thereof, and fusion proteins comprising IL12. In some embodiments, the open reading frame is sequence-optimized. In particular embodiments, the disclosure provides sequence-optimized polynucleotides comprising nucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequence of human IL12, or sequences having high sequence identity with those sequence optimized polynucleotides.

  • Publication number: 20230346928
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA) combination therapies for the treatment of cancer. The disclosure provides compositions, and methods for their preparation, manufacture, and therapeutic use, wherein those compositions comprise at least two polynucleotides (e.g., mRNAs) in combination wherein the at least two polynucleotides are selected from the group consisting of (i) a polynucleotide encoding an immune response primer (e.g., IL23), (ii) a polynucleotide encoding an immune response co-stimulatory signal (e.g., OX40L), (iii) a polynucleotide encoding a checkpoint inhibitor (e.g., an anti CTLA-4 antibody), and, (iv) a combination thereof. The therapeutic methods disclosed herein comprise, e.g., the administration of a combination therapy disclosed herein for the treatment of cancer, e.g., by reducing the size of a tumor or inhibiting the growth of a tumor, in a subject in need thereof.
