Mechanism: Tolerogenic nanoencapsulated uricase
Expert: Sequential IV infusion of nanoencapsulated sirolimus (NAS, ImmTOR technology) followed by pegadricase (PEGylated uricase). NAS delivers rapamycin to antigen-presenting cells in a tolerogenic context, inducing antigen-specific regulatory T cells that suppress anti-drug antibody (ADA) formation against pegadricase. This overcomes the key limitation of uricase therapy — immunogenicity-driven loss of efficacy.
Everyday: A two-part injection that dissolves uric acid crystals in gout. Part 1 is a tiny nanoparticle "decoy" (sirolimus wrapped in a lipid ball) that teaches the immune system NOT to attack the drug. Part 2 is a uric acid-eating enzyme (uricase) that rapidly breaks down uric acid. The genius is Part 1 — previous uricase drugs failed because the body made antibodies against them. The nanoparticle prevents that.

Efficacy: Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (N=153, global US+Eastern Europe, 1:1:1). Primary endpoint: sUA <6 mg/dL for >=80% of Month 6. HD: 47% vs 12% placebo (p=0.0002).

Notes
First-in-class tolerogenic uricase for uncontrolled gout. BLA accepted by FDA, PDUFA June 27, 2026. Phase 3 DISSOLVE I+II: pooled response rate 51% (high dose) and 43% (low dose) on primary endpoint (sUA <6 mg/dL for >=80% of month 6). Mechanism: NAS (ImmTOR nanoparticles) induces immune tolerance to prevent anti-drug antibodies against pegadricase (uricase). This solves the key failure mode of Krystexxa (pegloticase), where ~50% of patients develop neutralizing antibodies. Originally developed by Selecta Biosciences. Sobi acquired rights.
