    On November 24, 2021, Ionis pharmaceuticals announced that vupanorsen, jointly developed with Pfizer, has reached primary and critical secondary clinical endpoints in phase 2b clinical trials


    Vupanorsen used Ionis' Ligand-Coupled Antisense (LICA) technology to target the reduction of the key regulatory factor ANGPTL3 protein level in the liver


    In a phase 2a trial, vupanorsen significantly reduced triglyceride levels in patients with hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)


    This multicenter, double-blind, controlled Phase 2b trial enrolled 286 dyslipidemia subjects (≥40 years old), defined as non-HDL-C (≥100 mg/dL) and TG (150-500 mg/dL) ) Is elevated and is receiving a stable dose of statin therapy


    In terms of safety, the most common adverse event in the trial was injection site reaction, which occurred most often in the highest dose group
