Why stem cell exosomes?

Limitations around current delivery platforms

o Safety - Viral vectors have been plagued by side effect issues. Viral vectors and LNP's , both have immunogeneic properties that are problematic

o Efficiency of loading and delivery - Limitations on the type, size of cargo and the efficient delivery of therapeutic dose (endosomal escape)

  1. Tissue/cell targeting - Lipid Nanoparticles & HEK derived exosomes have limited targeting abilities with delivery mainly to the liver.

Stem cell exosomes - targeted delivery platform for complex drug modalities

  1. Safety - Naturally occurring nanoparticles released by all cells for the purpose of intercellular communication - non immunogenic
  1. Efficiency of loading and delivery - Proven ability to carry and deliver more than one bio-active cargo simultaneously including proteins and nucleic acids
  1. Tissue/cell targeting - Critically, they target recipient cells via specific surface proteins that are determined by their cell of origin

EXOSOME CELL SOURCE IS AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION FOR TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY

  • Standard stem cell exosomes have significant

barriers to their clinical translation

Heterogeneity

    • Scale
  • Consistent and Scalable Exosome Production through Conditional Immortalisation of the producer cell line
    • Stable producer cell line - Consistent phenotype maintained over multiple passages
    • Fully qualified xeno-free GMP process - tightly controlled USP with strict release criteria
    • Scalability - produced to a commercially relevant scale in multi-tier tissue culture flasks
    • Stable exosome product at 4 oC, -80oC
    • Safe: No c-MycERTAM within exosomes

In vitro data highlighting exosome targeting is dependenton cell source

Exosome biology influences tropism and delivery of cargo - selection of exosome type is an importantconsideration.

  • Previous results indicated that the CustomEX™ products were distinct in their protein expression profiles and uptake profiles in a panel of cell lines suggesting that exosome biology influences tropism and therefore may result in better delivery of a therapeutic cargo.

*Note 1 animal had a missed injection and was excluded from the analysis.

  • Zr-89labelled exosomes mainly traffickedto the liver and spleen (and to a lesser extent the kidney).
  • This signal was retained up to 120h timepoint.
  • Biodistribution to the liver, spleen and kidney was further confirmed at the experimental end point (120h) using gamma counting outputs of the selected tissues/organs.
  • This also indicated that the distribution follows the same pattern irrespective of exosome cell source.
  • This potentially indicates that no differences in biodistribution will be observed when carrying out a radioactive PET/CT study due to limits in resolution and due to the whole organ/tissue being quantified.
