Abstract

• Polyadenylic acid (Poly(A)) has emerged as a popular choice for use as a model RNA drug substance for LNP formulation prototyping. • In the absence of existing RNA and LNP drug substance/drug product reference materials, Poly(A)-LNPs are widely used as a control formulation to assess the impact of manufacturing process parameters on formulation critical quality attributes (CQAs). • Since the stability of RNA drug substance (DS) cargo is a major determinant of drug product (DP) performance, both pre-formulation and post-formulation attributes of the RNA must be assessed thus highlighting the need for systematic comparison of DS quality and its effect on DP formulation. • This study aims to enhance knowledge of model Poly(A) critical quality attribute impact on LNP formulation attributes, ultimately seeking to produce better standardised controls for LNP bench to bedside translation.
