Interius BioTherapeutics to Present In Vivo CAR Data in Oncology and Autoimmunity Programs at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy 27th Annual Meeting (PRNewswire) - "Interius BioTherapeutics...today announced the presentation of preclinical data across six abstracts at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting to be held on May 7-11 in Baltimore, MD....'Data from humanized mice and cynomolgus macaques demonstrate that a single i.v. administration of INT2104 transduces both T and NK cells that are then reprogramed to become functional chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cells.' Biodistribution and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed vector targeting specificity. The in vivo generated autologous CAR cells targeted CD20 positive cells leading to B cell depletion in both animal models. One macaque had persistent B cell aplasia for one year, and at autopsy, had no detectable B cells in the peripheral circulation, spleen, bone marrow, or lymph nodes."

Pharmacokinetics and Vector Shedding in NHPs Following a Single Intravenous Infusion of a CD20-Targeted Engineered Lentiviral Vector (ASGCT 2024) - "Shedding of vector RNA genomes into feces, saliva and urine was detectable in some animals at very low levels in the first 3 days following vector administration, suggesting very limited and transient LVV shedding. Taken together these data demonstrate rapid clearing of an in vivo-administered replication-incompetent LVV, with limited shedding in animal excreta indicating low risk of environmental contamination."

Targeted in vivo generation of CAR T and NK cells utilizing an engineered lentiviral vector platform (SITC 2023) - "INT2104 administration to mice bearing an established B cell tumor also resulted in B cell aplasia, with complete tumor ablation seen in all treated mice across a 15-fold range in dosing, including a dose matching the proposed first-in-human dose in TU/kg. Conclusions These preclinical data suggest that intravenous delivery of INT2104 will be both safe and effective, supporting plans to continue development and transition into the clinic."
