Alnylam LNP delivery platform receives NoA from USPTO

PBR Staff Writer Published 31 January 2012

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals has received notice of allowance (NoA) from US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for new patent covering second generation lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform, including the MC3 lipid.

The patent application includes 30 claims covering composition of matter and formulations of MC3, as well as methods of using these compositions and formulations.

This second generation LNP delivery platform is being utilized in development programs as part of the company's Alnylam 5x15 product strategy.

The LNP delivery platform is used in ALN-TTR02, for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR); ALN-PCS, for the treatment of severe hypercholesterolemia; and potentially other programs.

Alnylam senior vice president and chief business officer Laurence Reid said LNPs exhibit significant improvements in potency and therapeutic index for RNAi therapeutics, as evidenced by human data with ALN-PCS.

"These novel LNPs also define Alnylam's LNP platform for advancement of ALN-TTR02 and potentially other 'Alnylam 5x15' programs," Reid added.
