About Arcturus Therapeutics
Arcturus Therapeutics is a clinical-stage messenger RNA (mRNA) medicines and vaccines company focused on developing innovative nucleic acid therapies for rare diseases and infectious diseases. The company's proprietary LUNAR lipid nanoparticle delivery system enables targeted delivery of mRNA therapeutics to specific tissues and organs, addressing one of the key challenges in mRNA drug development. Arcturus is developing treatments for rare liver diseases, respiratory conditions, and vaccines for various infectious diseases including COVID-19.
The company has built a comprehensive mRNA platform that includes proprietary modified nucleotides, self-amplifying RNA technology, and advanced delivery systems. Arcturus has multiple programs in clinical development, including treatments for ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, hepatitis B, and cystic fibrosis. Their self-amplifying RNA platform potentially offers advantages over traditional mRNA by requiring lower doses and producing more sustained protein expression, which could improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce manufacturing costs for mRNA-based medicines.
