Lymphedema is a common complication of breast cancer treatment, affecting approximately a quarter of patients. Those affected can have an uncomfortable, unsightly and sometimes functionally impaired limb prone to episodes of superficial infection. The aetiology and pathophysiology of lymphedema in patients with breast cancer appear to be multifactorial and are still not fully understood.Although conservative treatment techniques can be very successful in controlling symptoms, they do not afford a cure. In this situation of unmet medical need, it is essential to find a new therapeutic solution to treat lymphedema. The approach of the LYMPHARN project is based on dual mRNA strategy delivered by FlashRNA® vector targeting both lymphatic endothelium and surrounding adipose tissue function.

Feasibility of the procedures
Day 0 (injection visit)
local and systemic inflammatory reaction following injections
Day 0 (post injection), Day 1, Day 2, Day 10, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after injection
Efficacy of injections
Day 1, Day 2, Day 10, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after injection
Pharmacokinetic of the APERNAVEC vector in the blood
Day 0, 4 hours post injection, 24h (Day 1), 48h (Day 2), Day 10 and1 month after injection
Patients with secondary lymphedema will be included to receive eight injections of the APERNAVEC (APELIN-VEGF-C FlashRNA® vector) at D0.
At day 0, the injection of APERNAVEC vector will be performed in intradermic tissue of the limb affected by lymphedema. Patient will be follow-up for 6 months
