  • Publication number: 20220088059
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to methods of treating cancer using a combination of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) and a checkpoint inhibitor. The SNA molecule comprises a core oligonucleotide shell of CpG oligonucleotides positioned on the exterior of this core. The SNA is administered at a fixed dose of 2mg to a solid tumour or tumour lesion, and is administered within 24 hours of the checkpoint inhibitor administration. The SNA can also be administered at a dose of 700 mg-900 mg every 2 weeks. The SNA can also be a CpG linked via a spacer to the exterior surface of a liposome core of 40 nm or less diameter.

  • Patent number: 9532948
    Abstract: Articles, compositions, kits, and methods relating to nanostructures, including those that can sequester molecules such as cholesterol, are provided. Certain embodiments described herein include structures having a core-shell type arrangement; for instance, a nanoparticle core may be surrounded by a shell including a material, such as a lipid bilayer, that can interact with cholesterol and/or other lipids. In some embodiments, the structures, when introduced into a subject, can sequester cholesterol and/or other lipids and remove them from circulation. Accordingly, the structures described herein may be used to diagnose, prevent, treat or manage certain diseases or bodily conditions, especially those associated with abnormal lipid levels.

  • Patent number: 8323686
    Abstract: Articles, compositions, kits and methods relating to nanostructures, including those that can sequester molecules such as cholesterol, are provided. Certain embodiments described herein include structures having a core-shell type arrangement; for instance, a nanoparticle core may be surrounded by a shell including a material, such as a lipid bilayer, that can interact with cholesterol and/or other lipids, and an apolipoprotein may be bound to at least the outer surface of the shell. In some embodiments, the structures, when introduced to a subject, can sequester cholesterol and/or other lipids and remove them from circulation. Accordingly, the structures described herein may be used to diagnose, prevent, treat or manage certain diseases or bodily conditions, especially those associated with abnormal lipid levels.
