Oligonucleotide (Antisense oligonucleotide) · Gene silencing: apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) · developed by Ionis Pharms
Olezarsen is an antisense oligonucleotide conjugated to GalNAc that binds apoC-III mRNA, reducing apoC-III protein levels. This increases clearance of triglycerides and VLDL, reducing triglyceride levels in familial chylomicronemia syndrome and severe hypertriglyceridemia.
