United States Patent 10500208: Advanced Nanoparticle Technology for Enhanced Biologics Delivery

The patent in question, United States Patent 10500208, issued on August 14, 2021, to researchers at Yale University and Juno Therapeutics (a joint subsidiary between Bristol Myers Squibb and Juno) and also describes research collaboration from Yale University. This patent focuses on the development of advanced nanoparticle technology to improve the delivery of biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.

Key Points:

  • Novel Nanoparticle Technology: The patented nanoparticles are designed to encapsulate and protect biologics from degradation, reducing the risk of toxicity and immunogenicity. These nanoparticles also enhance the solubility and stability of biologics, allowing for more efficient delivery.

  • Cellular Uptake Enhancement: The researchers claim that the nanoparticles significantly enhance cellular uptake of biologics, improving the efficacy and specificity of treatment. This could lead to improved patient outcomes for various diseases, including cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.

  • Improved Pharmacokinetics: The patented nanoparticles are said to alter the pharmacokinetics of biologics, resulting in prolonged circulation times and reduced clearance rates. This modification enables the sustained release of biologics, providing a consistent therapeutic effect.

  • Platform Technology: The described nanoparticle platform is versatile, allowing for customization for a variety of biologics. This adaptability offers significant potential for broad applications, from cancer immunotherapy to infectious disease treatments.

  • Preclinical and Clinical Data: The patent claims preclinical efficacy data demonstrating improved anti-cancer effects, virus neutralization, and reduced inflammation in animal models. However, the extent and specifics of any clinical data supporting the efficacy of the technology are not disclosed in the patent.

  • Intellectual Property Protection: The patent holds utility for a wide range of therapeutic applications, offering a broad intellectual property foundation for future product development and commercial ventures.

To fully harness the potential of the patented technology, further research, development, and regulatory approvals will be required. As such, this intellectual property offers immense potential for pharmaceutical companies to leverage for next-generation biologics delivery.
