Taking an ‘upside-down’ approach to mRNA delivery

pharmaphorum

Once its potential as a means of stimulating an immune response had been established, attention quickly turned to where else the technology could provide a therapeutic solution. As it stands, mRNA vaccines and therapeutics can only provide benefits if they can reach the living cells and be processed into protein.

ImmunityBio’s hAd5 T-Cell COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate Shows Complete Protection of Airways in Non-Human Primates

The Pharma Data

In the study, immunization with the hAd5-COVID-19 vaccine inhibited SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in 100% (10 of 10) of Rhesus macaques, with a drop in viral replication starting on the first day of vaccine administration, and undetectable viral levels as early as three to five days post-challenge in most of the animals.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Potential solutions: For CRISPR systems, the likelihood of off-target editing has been shown to be influenced by a variety of factors, ranging from the design of the gRNA 1 and Cas9 protein 2 , to the targeted cell type 3 , to name a few examples. In vivo approaches involve delivering the gene editing components directly into the patient.
