    On November 2, 2021, Ionis Pharmaceuticals announced the initiation of a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of the antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy olezarsen under development.


    ASO therapy targets mRNA and relies on RNase H to degrade the complex produced by the combination of ASO and mRNA, thereby inhibiting the production of pathogenic proteins


    A previous phase 2 clinical trial reached its primary and key secondary endpoints.

    The ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial will enroll more than 1,500 patients, and the primary endpoint is the percentage change in patients' fasting triglyceride levels from baseline at the 6th month of treatment
