Abstract
The present disclosure relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double stranded RNAi agents, able to inhibit Angiopoietin-like 3 (also called ANGPTL3, ANGPL3, angiopoietin-like protein 3) gene expression, and compositions that include ANGPTL3 RNAi agents. Also disclosed are methods of use of ANGPTL3 RNAi agents and compositions. The ANGPTL3 RNAi agents disclosed herein may be conjugated to targeting ligands to facilitate the delivery to cells, including to hepatocytes. Pharmaceutical compositions that include one or more ANGPTL3 RNAi agents, optionally with one or more additional therapeutics, are described. Delivery of the ANGPTL3 RNAi agents in vivo provides for inhibition of ANGPTL3 gene expression, and can result in lower triglycerides and/or cholesterol levels in the subject. The RNAi agents can be used in methods of treatment of ANGPTL3-related diseases and disorders, including cardiometabolic diseases such as hypertriglyceridemia and hyperlipidemia.
