Key Highlights

  • NBX1P01 produced a two-fold higher full-to-empty rAAV capsid ratio compared to a leading commercial HEK293 cell line.
  • Demonstrated genomic stability over 55 population doubling levels with lower genetic heterogeneity.
  • Confirmed more than 70% intact rAAV genomes with minimal encapsidated contaminating DNA.
  • Consistent performance across production volumes from 10 mL to 1.5 L.
  • Supported multiple rAAV serotypes and clinically relevant transgene sizes.

          Patient & Prescribing Data

          Broader patient populations as gene therapy programs expand beyond rare diseases.

          Quality and consistency in rAAV production are essential for effective gene therapies.

          Clinical Best Practices

          • Utilize stable and adaptable cell lines for rAAV production.
          • Ensure high full-to-empty capsid ratios for quality assurance.
          • Monitor genomic stability to reduce variability in manufacturing.
