Phase 1/2 Interim Data on Moderna’s mRNA-3927, an Investigational mRNA Therapy for Propionic Acidemia, Published in Nature - Seite 2
Additional participants are now being enrolled into the study as part of a dose expansion phase to allow for further characterization of the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamic activity of mRNA-3927.
About Propionic Acidemia
Propionic acidemia is a rare, serious, inherited metabolic disorder with significant morbidity and mortality, affecting one in 100,000-150,000 individuals worldwide. PA is caused by pathogenic variants in the propionyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (PCC) α or β subunits (PCCA and PCCB genes, respectively), leading to PCC deficiency and subsequent accumulation of toxic metabolites. PA is characterized by recurrent life-threatening MDEs and multisystemic complications. Some of the most common multisystemic complications include neurological manifestations, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, growth retardation, recurrent pancreatitis, bone marrow suppression, and predisposition to infection. Long-term, insults by toxic metabolites cause multiorgan complications and are correlated with recurrent MDEs.
Currently, there are no effective therapies for PA that target the underlying root cause of the disease.
About mRNA-3927
mRNA-3927 is a novel, IV-administered, lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated dual investigational mRNA therapy that encodes for PCCA and PCCB subunit proteins to restore functional PCC enzyme activity in the liver. By encoding for the PCC enzyme, mRNA-3927 has the potential to replace a missing or dysfunctional enzyme.
