LNPs are a successful delivery vehicle that allow for improved treatment outcomes for vaccines and therapies. This includes treatment and prevention for a broad range of genetic, infectious, and cancerous diseases. Clinical trials for cytotoxic chemotherapy agents, antibiotics, and nucleic acid therapeutics are outlined in this table. LNP-based COVID-19 mRNA vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna were successfully developed with international impact.
