Plozasiran (ARO-APOC3)

Plozasiran

Severe Hypertriglyceridemialiverphase 3

Plozasiran (formerly ARO-APOC3) is designed to reduce the production of the protein Apolipoprotein-CIII (ApoC3) through the natural RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism.  ApoC3 is a protein that is produced in liver cells and inhibits the formation and clearance of various lipids and lipoproteins, including triglycerides.

The goal of treatment with plozasiran is to reduce the level of ApoC3 thereby reducing triglycerides and restoring lipids to more normal levels.

ARO-ALK7

Obesityadiposephase 1

ARO-ALK7 is designed to silence adipocyte expression of the ACVR1C gene to reduce production of Activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7), which acts as a receptor in a pathway that regulates energy homeostasis in adipose tissue. In large genetic datasets, reduced ACVR1C expression has been associated with healthier adipose distribution and reduced risk of obesity-related metabolic complications. Treatment with investigational ARO-ALK7 has the potential to reduce visceral adiposity and improve lipid and glycemic parameters.

ARO-INHBE

Obesityliverphase 1

ARO-INHBE is designed to reduce the hepatic expression of the INHBE gene and its secreted gene product, Activin E. INHBE is a promising genetically validated target in which loss-of-function INHBE variants in humans are associated with lower risk of obesity and metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes. Activin E acts as a ligand in a pathway that regulates energy homeostasis in adipose tissue. Intervening in this pathway with investigational ARO-INHBE treatment has the potential to increase lipolysis, and reduce adipose hypertrophy and dysfunction, visceral adiposity, and insulin resistance.

Liver

Fazirsiran

Alpha-1 Liver Diseaseliverphase 3

Fazirsiran is being developed to treat the liver disease associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a rare genetic disorder that severely damages the liver and lungs of affected individuals.

Fazirsiran is designed to knock down the hepatic production of the mutant alpha-1 antitrypsin (Z-AAT) protein, the cause of progressive liver disease in AATD patients. Reducing production of the inflammatory Z-AAT protein is expected to halt the progression of liver disease and potentially allow it to regenerate and repair.

Clinical Trials

recruitingID: NCT05891158

The main aim of this study is to learn how the body processes fazirsiran (pharmacokinetics [PK]) in people with mild, moderate, or severe liver problems, compared to people with normal liver function.

The study will include participants with liver scarring (cirrhosis) and mild, moderate, or severe liver problems, and participants with normal liver function. All participants will be given 1 injection of fazirsiran and will be followed up for 6 months after the fazirsiran injection.

recruitingID: NCT05899673

The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran is safe during long-term use in people with liver disease caused by the abnormal Z-alpha-1 antitrypsin (Z-AAT) protein. People who are currently taking part in or have completed previous fazirsiran studies (AROAAT2001 [NCT03945292] or AROAAT2002 [NCT03946449]) can continue to receive fazirsiran in this study. Participants will receive fazirsiran every 3 months for almost 2 years and will then be followed for an additional 6 months. The study may also provide information on whether fazirsiran has a long-term effect in reducing liver fibrosis or slowing down the progression of liver fibrosis in people with liver disease due to the abnormal Z-AAT protein.

recruitingID: NCT05677971

The main aim of this study is to learn if fazirsiran reduces liver scarring (fibrosis) compared to placebo. Other aims are to learn if fazirsiran slows down the disease worsening in the liver, to get information on how fazirsiran affects the body (called pharmacodynamics), to learn if fazirsiran reduces other liver injury (inflammation) and the abnormal Z-AAT protein in the liver, to get information on how the body processes fazirsiran (called pharmacokinetics), to test how well fazirsiran works compared with a placebo in improving measures of liver scarring including imaging and liver biomarkers (substances in the blood that the body normally makes and help show if liver function is improving, staying the same, or getting worse) as well as to check for side effects in participants treated with fazirsiran compared with those who received placebo.

Participants will either receive fazirsiran or placebo. Liver biopsies, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during this study.

recruitingID: NCT06165341

In some people, the liver makes an abnormal version of the alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein, called Z-AAT. Making an abnormal version of the AAT protein can result in liver disease as Z-AAT builds up in liver cells, which leads to liver problems such as liver scarring (fibrosis), continuing liver damage (cirrhosis), and eventually endstage liver disease. Fazirsiran is a medicine that reduces the creation of the Z-AAT protein and thus the build-up of this abnormal protein in the liver. People with this type of liver disease who already have mild liver scarring will take part in the study. They will be treated with fazirsiran or a placebo for about 2 years. This study will check the long-term safety of fazirsiran and if participants tolerate the treatment. A liver biopsy, a way of collecting a small tissue sample from the liver, will be taken twice during the study.

completeID: NCT03362242

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single- and multiple-ascending doses of ARO-AAT in healthy adult volunteers.

activeID: NCT03946449

Participants will be enrolled to receive multiple subcutaneous injections of fazirsiran (TAK-999, ARO-AAT). All eligible participants will require a pre-dose biopsy completed as part of the study within the screening window. All participants will undergo an End of Study (EOS) biopsy. Treated participants will be offered the opportunity to continue treatment in an open label extension during which they will undergo a final biopsy.

completeID: NCT03945292

Participants will be enrolled to receive multiple subcutaneous injections of Fazirsiran Injection (also referred to as TAK-999 Injection or ARO-AAT Injection) or placebo. Eligible participants will require a pre-dose biopsy completed as part of the study within the screening window. However, any participant with a biopsy result within 1 year of screening showing no fibrosis does not require a pre-dose biopsy. Only participants who have liver fibrosis will undergo a post-dose biopsy and may continue treatment in an open-label phase.

ARO-HBV

Hepatitis Bliverphase 2

ARO-HBV, is being developed in collaboration with GSK to be a potentially curative therapy for patients with chronic hepatitis B infection, when used in combination with other direct antivirals. ARO-HBV is a sub-cutaneous, ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) therapy candidate which is designed to silence all HBV gene products and intervenes upstream of the reverse transcription process where current standard-of-care nucleotide and nucleoside analogues act. The company believes this may allow the body’s natural immune defenses to clear the virus and potentially lead to a functional cure.

Clinical Trials

activeID: NCT04535544

JNJ-73763989 is a liver-targeted antiviral therapeutic for subcutaneous injection designed to treat chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection via ribonucleic acid interference mechanism. This phase 2 study is designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of JNJ-73763989 in HBV infected patients who are co-infected with HDV. The study consists of 2 parts: Part 1 will evaluate safety, tolerability and antiviral activity of JNJ-73763989 + NA while Part 2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the JNJ-73763989 + NA regimen in the treatment of HBV/HDV co-infection. Each part includes 3 phases: Screening phase (from 4 Week up to maximum of 8 weeks), Intervention phase (144 Week for Arm A and 148 Week for Arm B) and Follow-up phase (48 Week). The duration of individual study participation will be between 196 and 204 weeks. Safety and tolerability (including adverse events [AEs] and Serious AEs, laboratory assessments, electrocardiogram [ECG], vital signs, physical examination), efficacy (including HDV ribonucleic acid [RNA], HBV deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] and antigens) , and pharmacokinetics will be assessed throughout the study.

completeID: NCT04439539

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a small deoxyribonucleic acid virus that specifically infects the human liver. The acute phase of infection is either followed by an immune controlled state or progresses to chronic hepatitis B. The worldwide estimated prevalence of chronic HBV infection is about 292 million people affected. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance is currently considered to be associated with the most thorough suppression of HBV replication (termed functional cure). With current available NA treatment strategies, rate of HBsAg seroclearance remains very low (around 3 percent [%]) even under long-term treatment. Also, with the persistently high global prevalence of HBV-associated mortality, there is a medical need for more effective finite treatment options that lead to sustained HBsAg seroclearance. JNJ-73763989 is a liver-targeted antiviral therapeutic for subcutaneous injection designed to treat chronic HBV infection via a ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) mechanism. JNJ-56136379 is an orally administered capsid assembly modulator (CAM) that is being developed for the treatment of chronic HBV infection. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a treatment regimen of JNJ-73763989 + PegIFN-alpha-2a + NA with or without JNJ-56136379 in participants with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) positive chronic infection. The study will be conducted in 4 phases: a screening phase, an induction phase with flexible duration, a consolidation phase with or without PegIFN-α2a and a follow-up phase. Safety assessments will include Adverse Events (AEs), serious AEs of the study interventions, clinical laboratory tests, Electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, and physical examinations. The study title reflects the original study design and JNJ-56136379 (JNJ-6379) was initially part of the study intervention but was discontinued as per amendment 6 of the study.

completeID: NCT04129554

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a small deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) virus that infects the liver and can cause either acute or chronic infection. It consists of a so-called nucleocapsid in which viral DNA is packed with hepatitis B core protein (HBc) and membranous envelope containing hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Chronic HBV infection may lead to serious illnesses like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Oral treatment with NAs is effective at suppressing viral DNA formation and lowering virus concentration in blood to levels below lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). JNJ-73763989 is a liver-targeted antiviral therapeutic for subcutaneous injection designed to treat chronic HBV infection via ribonucleic acid interference mechanism but rarely lead to functional cure defined as sustained loss of HBs Ag and HBV DNA in serum. JNJ-56136379 is an orally administered capsid assembly modulator that is being developed for treatment of chronic HBV infection. The aim of study is to evaluate efficacy of 48-week study intervention with JNJ-3989+JNJ-6379+NA regimen compared to NA alone, assessed by HBsAg seroclearance at Week 72 (i.e., 24 weeks after completion of all study interventions at Week 48) without restarting NA treatment in HBeAg negative virologically suppressed chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infected participants who received NA treatment for at least 2 years prior to screening. The study will be 2.3 years and will be conducted in 3 phases: a screening phase (4 weeks), a study intervention phase (48 weeks), and a follow-up phase (48 weeks). Safety will be evaluated by AEs including AEs of special interest to any of the study interventions, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, vital signs, and physical examinations.

JNJ-73763989 is a liver-targeted antiviral therapeutic for subcutaneous injection designed to treat chronic HBV infection via ribonucleic acid interference mechanism but rarely lead to functional cure defined as sustained loss of HBs Ag and HBV DNA in serum. JNJ-56136379 is an orally administered capsid assembly modulator that is being developed for treatment of chronic HBV infection. The aim of study is to evaluate efficacy of 48-week study intervention with JNJ-3989+JNJ-6379+NA regimen compared to NA alone, assessed by HBsAg seroclearance at Week 72 (i.e., 24 weeks after completion of all study interventions at Week 48) without restarting NA treatment in HBeAg negative virologically suppressed chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infected participants who received NA treatment for at least 2 years prior to screening. The study will be 2.3 years and will be conducted in 3 phases: a screening phase (4 weeks), a study intervention phase (48 weeks), and a follow-up phase (48 weeks). Safety will be evaluated by AEs including AEs of special interest to any of the study interventions, clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, vital signs, and physical examinations.

ARO-DUX4

FSHDmusclephase 1

ARO-DUX4 is an RNA interference (RNAi) conjugate designed to specifically target the gene that encodes human double homeobox 4 (DUX4) protein as a potential treatment for patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1). FSHD1 is an autosomal dominant disease associated with the failure to maintain complete epigenetic suppression of DUX4 expression in differentiated skeletal muscle, leading to overexpression of DUX4, which is myotoxic and can lead to muscle degeneration. Published literature suggests that the silencing of aberrantly transcribed DUX4 mRNA using ARO-DUX4 may halt progression of, and possibly reverse, DUX4-induced muscle toxicities in patients with FSHD1, improving muscle strength and function.

Clinical Trials

recruitingID: NCT06131983

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ARO-DUX4 in participants with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy Type 1 (FSHD1). In Part 1 of the study, participants will receive a single dose of ARO-DUX4 or placebo. In Part 2 of the study, participants will receive 2 or 4 doses of ARO-DUX4 or placebo. Participants who complete Part 1 will have the option to re-screen and re-randomize into Part 2. All participants will undergo pre- and post-dose MRI-guided muscle biopsies (a total of 2 biopsies). Participants who complete Part 1 and enroll in Part 2 will be required to undergo an additional screening biopsy. Participants completing Part 1 or Part 2 may have the option to continue to receive drug in an open-label extension study or may be eligible to participate in later-stage clinical studies.

ARO-DM1

Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1musclephase 1

ARO-DM1 for injection is an RNA interference (RNAi) conjugate designed to specifically silence DMPK mRNA in skeletal muscle. Published literature suggests that the silencing of aberrantly transcribed DMPK mRNA using ARO-DM1 may halt CUGexp-related spliceopathies in patients with DM1 leading to improved muscle strength and function. It belongs to a class of medicines called RNA therapeutics.
