ENDURE — Engineered Non-immunogenic Defined, Uniform lipid for Repeat Exposure
CX Stabilizing Lipid
Low-immunogenicity stabilizing lipid — stable liposomes and LNPs that support long-term, multiple dosing.
Anti-PEG antibodies are present in a meaningful fraction of treatment-naive people, and dosing induces more. What makes them a particular problem for LNPs is architecture rather than chemistry: an LNP presents PEG as a dense, laterally mobile array of PEG-lipids across its surface, where a PEGylated protein carries one or a few chains on a single molecule. That polyvalent surface lets anti-PEG IgM and IgG cross-link into large immune complexes and engage the classical complement pathway efficiently — which single-chain PEGylated proteins largely do not.
Complement activation drives accelerated blood clearance and complement activation-related pseudoallergy, and it attacks the carrier itself: opsonised particles lose bilayer integrity and can release their payload into serum before reaching the target cell.
Replacing the PEG-lipid with our stabilizing lipid removes that liability at the source. It is a defined molecule with a monodispersed polymer design, so both the IP position and the CMC specification stay unambiguous.
- Defined molecular weight
- Low immunogenicity
- Stable expression across repeat dosing
