Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are inherited rare diseases caused by the lack or malfunction of proteins involved in lysosomal activity. Enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs, based on the administration of a functional version of the defective enzyme) have gained clinical relevance in LSD health care. Therefore, production of therapeutic enzymes is a key aspect in the development of therapies for many rare diseases.

A large variety of nanoparticle-based delivery systems have become increasingly important for therapeutic applications. A critical issue lies in the challenge of scaling-up the synthesis and formulation of the nanomaterial from the lab to pilot and then to the industrial scale, while maintaining control over their quality attributes, such as particle mean size . The DELOS Platform is a robust procedure to overcome these challenges, delivering consistent, high quality, therapeutic nanoformulations. In the frame of Smart-4-Fabry, the DELOS procedure has been successfully scaled-up to the pilot plant and consistent, high-quality nanoliposomes loaded with GLA enzyme have been delivered for preclinical GLP toxicology assays.
