Abstract:

Dicerna is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative treatments for rare inherited diseases involving the liver and for cancers that are genetically defined. We have developed our own solid lipid nanoparticles for the delivery of our proprietary dicer substrate RNA for the treatment of cancer and many other diseases. Here, we will describe our solid lipid nanoparticles and the manufacturing process for the scale-up productions, our formulation screening process on animal models, efficacy results from knocking down MYC and β-catenin in orthotopic and subcutaneous hepatocellular carcinoma tumor models, and the methodologies to accurately characterize LNP formulations as in process controls for GMP manufacture.
