AbstractAlthough targeting TfR1 to deliver oligonucleotides to skeletal muscle has been demonstrated in rodents, effectiveness and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PKPD) properties remained unknown in higher species. We developed antibody–oligonucleotide conjugates (AOCs) towards mice or monkeys utilizing anti-TfR1 monoclonal antibodies (αTfR1) conjugated to various classes of oligonucleotides (siRNA, ASOs and PMOs). αTfR1 AOCs delivered oligonucleotides to muscle tissue in both species. In mice, αTfR1 AOCs achieved a > 15-fold higher concentration to muscle tissue than unconjugated siRNA. A single dose of an αTfR1 conjugated to an siRNA againstSsbmRNA produced > 75%SsbmRNA reduction in mice and monkeys, and mRNA silencing was greatest in skeletal and cardiac (striated) muscle with minimal to no activity in other major organs. In mice the EC50forSsbmRNA reduction in skeletal muscle was >75-fold less than in systemic tissues. Oligonucleotides conjugated to control antibodies or cholesterol produced no mRNA reduction or were 10-fold less potent, respectively. Tissue PKPD of AOCs demonstrated mRNA silencing activity primarily driven by receptor-mediated delivery in striated muscle for siRNA oligonucleotides. In mice, we show that AOC-mediated delivery is operable across various oligonucleotide modalities. AOC PKPD properties translated to higher species, providing promise for a new class of oligonucleotide therapeutics.
