A rapidly evolving area for nucleotide based medicines is upregulation of protein for treatment of a wide range of disease types. This session will cover mechanisms, delivery and some unconventional nonclinical studies for three different platforms. You will learn about two different approaches that induce expression of target mRNA for treatment of cancer and Dravet syndrome as well as therapeutic application of mRNA expressing VEGF for treatment of heart failure.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Compare different strategies to treat disease via protein upregulation
- Define key points to consider for nonclinical development of these platforms
- Recognize the need for unconventional nonclinical programs for novel approaches
