    Abstract: The present invention provides a VWF fragment comprising the D′ domain and D3 domain of VWF, a chimeric protein comprising the VWF fragment and a heterologous moiety, or a chimeric protein comprising the VWF fragment and a FVIII protein and methods of using the same. A polypeptide chain comprising a VWF fragment of the invention binds to or is associated with a polypeptide chain comprising a FVIII protein and the polypeptide chain comprising the VWF fragment can prevent or inhibit binding of endogenous VWF to the FVIII protein. By preventing or inhibiting binding of endogenous VWF to the FVIII, which is a half-life limiting factor for FVIII, the VWF fragment can induce extension of half-life of the FVIII protein. The invention also includes nucleotides, vectors, host cells, methods of using the VWF fragment, or the chimeric proteins.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides lentiviral vectors comprising codon optimized Factor VIII sequences, and methods of using such lentiviral vectors. The liver-targeted lentiviral vectors disclosed herein can be used for gene therapy, wherein the lentiviral gene delivery enables stable integration of the transgene expression cassette into the genome of targeted cells (e.g., hepatocytes) of pediatric (e.g., neonatal) or adult subjects, achieving an improvement in FVIII expression (for example, a 100-fold improvement) at low lentiviral vector doses (e.g., 5×1010 or lower, such as 1.5×109 or lower, or 1×108 TU/kg or lower). The present disclosure also provides methods of treating bleeding disorders such as hemophilia (e.g., hemophilia A) comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a liver-targeted lentiviral vector comprising a codon optimized Factor VIII nucleic acid sequence at low dosages (1×108 TU/kg or lower to 1.5×1010 TU/kg).

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides nucleic acid molecules comprising a first inverted terminal repeat (ITR), a second ITR, and a genetic cassette encoding a miRNA and/or a therapeutic protein. In certain embodiments, the therapeutic protein comprises a clotting factor, e.g., a FVIII polypeptide, a FIX polypeptide, or a fragment thereof. In some embodiments, the first ITR and/or the second ITR is an ITR of a non-adeno-associated virus (AAV). The present disclosure also provides methods of treating bleeding disorders such as hemophilia comprising administering to the subject the nucleic acid molecule or a polypeptide encoded thereby.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a chimeric protein comprising a VWF protein comprising the D′ domain and D3 domain of VWF, one or more XTEN sequence, and a FVIII protein, wherein the VWF fragment, the XTEN sequence, or the FVIII protein are linked to or associated with each other. The chimeric protein can further comprise one or more Ig constant region or a portion thereof (e.g., an Fc region). A polypeptide chain comprising a VWF fragment of the invention binds to or is associated with a polypeptide chain comprising a FVIII protein linked to an XTEN sequence and the polypeptide chain comprising the VWF fragment can prevent or inhibit binding of endogenous VWF to the FVIII protein linked to the XTEN sequence. By preventing or inhibiting binding of endogenous VWF to the FVIII protein, which is a half-life limiting factor for FVIII, the VWF fragment can induce extension of half-life of the chimeric protein comprising a FVIII protein. The invention also includes nucleotides, vectors, host cells, methods of using the VWF fragment, or the chimeric proteins.
