Many risk-eligible women refuse tamoxifen for primary prevention of breast cancer due to concerns about common side effects such as vasomotor symptoms. Tamoxifen may also induce or worsen insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia, especially in women with obesity. Bazedoxifene/conjugated estrogens (BZA/CE) reduces vasomotor symptoms and is currently undergoing evaluation for breast cancer risk reduction.

Analytical methods are required to characterise mRNA therapeutics and underpin manufacturing development. In this study, we have developed and utilised partial RNase digests of mRNA using RNase T1 and RNase U2 in conjunction with an automated, high throughput workflow for the rapid characterisation and direct sequence mapping of mRNA therapeutics.
