Additional reported findings

Rapid mouse liver clearance

The parent GVS-18-B6 lipid was reported as almost completely cleared from mouse liver within 6 hours after IV dosing.

Mouse tolerability

GVS-18-B6 LNPs were reported as well tolerated at doses up to 6 mg/kg, with little elevation in the measured ALT, AST, MCP-1 or IL-6 biomarkers.

NHP single-dose expression and clearance

After a 1 mg/kg IV infusion of hOTC mRNA LNP, strong hOTC expression was reported in liver, with substantially lower expression in spleen; the vast majority of GVS-18-B6 was degraded in liver within 24 hours.

NHP repeat dosing

Weekly 0.25 mg/kg IV doses for five weeks produced comparable plasma hEPO profiles after doses 1 and 5, with no efficacy pattern indicative of accelerated blood clearance in the reported experiment.
