Safety and long-term efficacy of AAV1.SERCA2a using nebulizer delivery in a pig model of pulmonary hypertension

Nebulization delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype 1 encoding sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase2a (AAV1.SERCA2a) gene was examined in a Yukatan miniature swine model of chronic pulmonary hypertension (n = 13). Nebulization of AAV1.SERCA2a resulted in homogenous distribution of vectors, lowe...

Description
Summary:Nebulization delivery of adeno-associated virus serotype 1 encoding sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase2a (AAV1.SERCA2a) gene was examined in a Yukatan miniature swine model of chronic pulmonary hypertension (n = 13). Nebulization of AAV1.SERCA2a resulted in homogenous distribution of vectors, lower pulmonary vascular resistance, and a trend towards better long-term survival compared to control animals.
