    Today, Selecta Biosciences announced that its immunomodulatory therapy ImmTOR, in a phase 1 clinical trial, can reduce the level of neutralizing antibodies produced by humans against adeno-associated virus vector 8 (AAV8) by 250 times


    Gene therapy usually uses AAV vectors to deliver transgenes to cells in patients.


    Selecta's ImmTOR platform uses a biodegradable nanoparticle carrying the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin (rapamycin)

    A few days ago, the company and Takeda reached a $1.


    In this phase 1 clinical trial jointly conducted with AskBio, healthy volunteers received an intravenous infusion of an AAV8 vector that does not carry a transgene, or received a different dose of ImmTOR treatment while receiving an AAV8 vector infusion


    The test results show:

    No serious adverse events were found.


    After 30 days of treatment, in volunteers treated with ImmTOR at a dose of 0.


    At 30 days, among the 6 volunteers who received ImmTOR at a dose of 0.


    After receiving treatment for 90 days, the neutralizing antibody titers in the volunteers treated with ImmTOR will eventually reach a level similar to that of the control group
