United States Patent 10980788: Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) Gene Therapy Vectors for Cancer Immunotherapy

On February 21, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) granted Patent 10980788 to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The patent protects Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) gene therapy vectors for cancer immunotherapy.

Scope of Claims

The patent's primary focus is on the use of AAV vectors for preclinical and clinical applications in cancer immunotherapy. The claimed technology involves delivering genes encoding cancer-specific antigens, such as tumor antigens or cancer-testis antigens, into immune cells, including T cells, to stimulate an immune response against cancer cells.

Key Innovations

The patent highlights several key innovations:

  1. AAV-vector-mediated cancer vaccines: The patent disclosures novel AAV vectors designed to deliver genes encoding tumor antigens, which stimulate a targeted immune response against cancer cells.
  2. Epitope-focused vaccine strategy: The technology allows for the design of vaccines targeting specific epitopes, enhancing the precision and efficacy of the immune response.
  3. Immune cell-based therapies: The patent claims cover the use of gene-modified immune cells, such as T cells, to deliver targeted cancer vaccines directly to the tumor microenvironment.

Biosafety and Biosecurity Considerations

The patent notes several biosafety and biosecurity considerations, including the use of AAV vectors, which are commonly used in gene therapy applications. The disclosed technology minimizes potential risks by utilizing biosafe AAV vectors, thereby ensuring a safe and effective therapeutic strategy.

Competitive Landscape

Existing cancer immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapy, have demonstrated significant promise in treating various cancers. However, these approaches often come with significant toxicities, limiting their long-term efficacy. The novel AAV-vector-based cancer vaccination technology offers a promising alternative, leveraging the precision and specificity of gene therapy for targeted cancer treatment.

Future Directions and Potential Implications

Patent 10980788 underscores the potential of AAV gene therapy vectors in cancer immunotherapy. Further preclinical and clinical studies are warranted to fully elucidate the safety and efficacy of this technology. Successful development and translation of this therapeutic approach could lead to the creation of novel, targeted treatments for various cancers, offering improved patient outcomes and reduced side effects.

By protecting this innovative technology, the NIH aims to accelerate the development of AAV-vector-based cancer vaccination platforms and their translation into the clinic. This move is a significant step forward in advancing cancer immunotherapy and improving patient care.

This analysis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of Patent 10980788's scope and claims, highlighting the potential of AAV gene therapy vectors in cancer immunotherapy.
