Visirna Therapeutics

Status and phase: Not yet enrolling; Phase 3

Conditions: Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH)

VSA003-3001

Details and patient eligibility

About

Significant reduction in ANGPLT3 levels is expected to reduce plasma LDL-C and TG levels and may lead to the reduction of risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular events associated with hypertriglyceridemia and LDL-C in subjects with persistent dyslipidemia. In this clinical study, the efficacy and safety of VSA003, an RNAi-based therapeutic targeting ANGPTL3, will be evaluated in subjects with HoFH.

Enrollment: 45 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Male or female aged ≥ 12 years and weighing ≥ 40 kg at the time of ICF signature;

• Willing to follow a daily low-fat diet for the duration of the study;
• Receiving stable and tolerable lipid-lowering therapy prior to LDL-C testing during the screening period;
• Fasting LDL-C ≥ 2.6 mmol/L.

Exclusion criteria

• Have received or are receiving targeted ANGPTL3 treatment within 5 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening;
