RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Vupanorsen is a GalNAc3-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide targeting angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) mRNA shown to reduce atherogenic lipoproteins in individuals with dyslipidemia. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to satisfy Chinese regulatory requirements and support ethnic sensitivity assessment by evaluating pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of vupanorsen in healthy Chinese adults with elevated triglycerides (TG). METHODS: In this phase I, parallel-cohort, open-label study, 18 Chinese adults with elevated fasting TG (≥ 90 mg/dL) were randomized 1:1 to receive a single subcutaneous dose of vupanorsen 80 mg or 160 mg. PK parameters, PD markers (including ANGPTL3, TG, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [non-HDL-C]), and safety were assessed. RESULTS: Absorption of vupanorsen was rapid (median time to maximum concentration [Tmax]: 2.0 h for both doses), followed by a multiphasic decline (mean terminal half-life 475.9 [80 mg] and 465.2 h [160 mg]). Exposure (area under curve [AUC] and maximum plasma concentration [Cmax]) generally increased in a greater than dose-proportional manner from 80 mg to 160 mg. Time-dependent reductions in ANGPTL3 and lipid parameters were observed. Mean percentage change from baseline for the 80-mg and 160-mg doses, respectively, were - 59.7% and - 69.5% for ANGPTL3, - 41.9% and - 52.5% for TG, and - 23.2% and - 25.4% for non-HDL-C. No serious or severe adverse events (AEs), deaths, or discontinuations due to AEs were reported. Three participants experienced treatment-related AEs; all were mild and resolved by end of study. CONCLUSIONS: This study provided the first clinical vupanorsen data in China. In Chinese participants with elevated TG, PK and PD parameters were consistent with those reported previously in non-Chinese participants, including in Japanese individuals. No safety concerns were noted. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04916795.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition. Effective treatment is important as patients are at risk for severe and potentially fatal acute pancreatitis. We review recent developments in pharmacologic treatment for FCS, namely biological inhibitors of apolipoprotein (apo) C-III and angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3). AREAS COVERED: FCS follows a biallelic inheritance pattern in which an individual inherits two pathogenic loss-of-function alleles of one of the five causal genes - LPL (in 60-80% of patients), GPIHBP1, APOA5, APOC2, and LMF1 - leading to the absence of lipolytic activity. Patients present from childhood with severely elevated triglyceride (TG) levels >10 mmol/L. Most patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia do not have FCS. A strict low-fat diet is the current first-line treatment, and existing lipid-lowering therapies are minimally effective in FCS. Apo C-III inhibitors are emerging TG-lowering therapies shown to be efficacious and safe in clinical trials. ANGPTL3 inhibitors, another class of emerging TG-lowering therapies, have been found to require at least partial lipoprotein lipase activity to lower plasma TG in clinical trials. ANGPTL3 inhibitors reduce plasma TG in patients with multifactorial chylomicronemia but not in patients with FCS who completely lack lipoprotein lipase activity. EXPERT OPINION: Apo C-III inhibitors currently in development are promising treatments for FCS.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Remnant cholesterol and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) are increasingly recognized risk factors for atherosclerotic disease with few therapeutic options. Angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3), a key protein in the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, is a promising target. METHODS AND RESULTS: TRANSLATE-TIMI 70 was a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial testing seven dose regimens of vupanorsen, an antisense oligonucleotide against ANGPTL3, in adults with non-HDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL and triglycerides 150-500 mg/dL. The primary endpoint of this analysis was percentage change in remnant cholesterol (total cholesterol minus directly measured LDL-C minus HDL-C) and VLDL-C (directly measured) over 24 weeks. Two hundred eighty-six patients were enrolled, with a median age of 64 years and 44% female. Median baseline remnant cholesterol and VLDL-C were 42 and 31 mg/dL, respectively (reference: <30 mg/dL). Vupanorsen lowered remnant cholesterol by 42-59% at 24 weeks over placebo (P < 0.001), achieving a median level of 18 mg/dL at the highest dose. Over the same period, VLDL-C was reduced by 52-67% over placebo (P < 0.001), with a median achieved level of 2.5 mg/dL at the highest dose. The effect of vupanorsen on remnant cholesterol and VLDL-C reduction was dose-dependent and directly associated with the degree of ANGPTL3 inhibition: at 90% ANGPTL3 reduction, there was a 61% and 81% decrease in remnant cholesterol and VLDL-C, respectively. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of ANGPTL3 protein synthesis significantly lowered remnant cholesterol and VLDL-C in patients with hypertriglyceridaemia. The magnitude of reduction was associated with the degree of ANGPTL3 inhibition. These findings support ANGPTL3 inhibition as a promising target for lowering cholesterol on triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.


In this randomized controlled trial of 286 participants with elevated triglycerides, treatment with vupanorsen, an ANGPTL3 inhibitor, lowered remnant cholesterol by up to 59% and VLDL cholesterol by up to 67% over placebo. The effect of the treatment was sustained throughout 24 weeks and consistent across key patient subgroups. ANGPTL3 inhibition may be a promising approach to treat patients with elevated triglycerides.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is an independent and casual risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is an unmet need for more effective treatments for patients with HTG. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) and apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) are key regulators of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL) metabolism. We review recent clinical trials targeting ANGPTL3 and apoC-III with monoclonal antibody and nucleic acid therapies, including antisense oligonucleotides and small interfering RNA. RECENT FINDINGS: ANGPTL3 and apoC-III inhibitors are effective in lowering plasma triglycerides and TRLs, with possibly greater efficacy with the inhibition of apoC-III. By contrast to ANGPTL3 inhibition that has the advantage of greater lowering of plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol and apoB levels, apoC-III inhibition only has a modest or no effect in lowering plasma LDL-cholesterol and apoB concentrations. Therapeutic inhibition of ANGPTL3 and apoC-III can correct HTG possibly by reducing production and increasing catabolism of TRL particles, but this remains to be formally investigated in patients with HTG. SUMMARY: Novel agents targeting ANGPTL3 and apoC-III can correct HTG and potentially lower risk of ASCVD in patients with HTG. The long-term safety and cost-effectiveness of these agents await confirmation in ongoing and future studies.
