oRNA molecules have been demonstrated to possess increased stability in vivo compared to linear mRNA and can potentially create more quantities of therapeutic proteins within the body. . By self-circularisation, Orna’s oRNA technology makes circular ribonucleic acids (oRNAs) from linear RNAs.

DS: Samsara’s autophagy inducing candidate SAM001 will be the first agent of its class to enter clinical trials. It is the method for removing unwanted debris, e.g., old proteins, and breaking them down so their constituent parts can be used again. What are the challenges of research in this area? What is autophagy?

When developing a clinical development program for these increasingly popular therapies, it is important that sponsors use modeling and pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis to evaluate parameters that can be measured while dosing with gene therapy drugs, to characterize exposure-response data and inform rational dosing.

mRNA enables the delivery of a transiently expressed genetic molecule that is translated into a target protein using the machinery of the host cell. Therefore, the risk for off-target insertional mutagenesis is greatly reduced. In addition, it may be easier to target the therapeutic molecule to the correct cell or tissue.

Premature stop codons are point mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA. As a consequence, patients with premature stop codon diseases have reduced or eliminated protein production from the mutation bearing allele accounting for some of the most severe phenotypes in these genetic diseases.
