Literature evidence · DC60478

Formulation & Performance

BNT142 delivers RNA encoding RiboMab02.1. Its formulation and animal expression results provide a product-specific evidence record for ALC-0366, with patent evidence distinguished from peer-reviewed comparative lipid research.

Example 1, Table 2 explicitly names ALC-0366 and gives its chemical identity as ((3-hydroxypropyl)azanediyl)bis(nonane-9,1-diyl) bis(2-butyloctanoate). This is a direct match, not an inferred platform association.

Formulation components and molecular-weight conversion

Table 2 reports mass concentrations, not molar percentages. RNA drug substance is 1.0 mg/mL. Calculated total lipid is 19.38 mg/mL, giving total lipid:RNA 19.38:1 by mass. An exact ALC-0159 molecular-weight convention is not supplied, so an exact molar conversion is not asserted.

Functional activity of the encoded antibody

SystemFindingInterpretation
Human PBMC/target-cell assaysRiboMab02.1-containing serum from BNT142-treated mice induced target-dependent T-cell activation with CLDN6-positive cells; high concentrations also produced off-target activation.Patent [0694]–[0695], Figure 5; payload activity after delivery, not intrinsic free-lipid cytotoxicity
Humanized OV-90 xenograft modelBNT142-treated groups showed tumor regression accompanied by greater T-cell infiltration and reduced tumor CLDN6 positivity relative to negative controls.Patent [0696]–[0699], Figure 6; preclinical formulation-plus-payload outcome, not a comparison isolating ALC-0366 performance

PDF p88 / printed p72. These assays support functionality of the expressed antibody; they do not establish that ALC-0366 alone causes tumor-cell killing.

In vivo protein expression

StudyReported resultSource
Five weekly administrations in miceNo loss of translation reported across administrations; final peak serum antibody levels up to 7.4 and 46 μg/mL in the 10 and 30 μg RNA groups[0730], Figure 11; PDF p91 / printed p75
Female cynomolgus monkeys, n=3/group0.015, 0.05 and 0.15 mg/kg IV BNT142 produced mean RiboMab02.1 Cmax values of 7.3, 27.5 and 155.0 ng/mL; median Tmax 6 hours[0731], Figure 12, Table 4; PDF pp91–92
Protein durationDetectable to 72 h in the low group and 168 h in the two higher groups; effective half-life 27–37 hLower-dose estimates affected by assay LLOQ 0.1 ng/mL

These are concentrations of the encoded antibody after BNT142 administration; they are not free ALC-0366 concentrations.

Tolerability and evidence limits

ContextReported observationBoundary
Single-dose monkey assessmentUp to 0.15 mg/kg tolerated without treatment-associated changes in the reported clinical, clinical-pathology, cardiovascular or cytokine assessmentsPatent non-GLP study; finite dose and observation window
Higher-dose mouse RNA-LNP studiesCytokine elevations and liver/spleen effects occurred; most findings reversed or improved during recoverySome studies used luciferase-RNA surrogates; cannot describe ALC-0366 as universally nontoxic
Payload relevanceEncoded antibody was not pharmacologically active in the evaluated animal speciesThe animal RNA-LNP safety assessment does not fully test antibody-mediated human effects
