The invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double-stranded RNAi agents, targeting the PCSK9 gene, and methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of PCSK9 and methods of treating subjects having a lipid disorder, such as a hyperlipidemia.

PCSK9 iRNA compositions and methods of use thereof

The invention relates to a method of gene silencing, comprising administering to a cell or a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the lipophilic moieties-conjugated double-stranded iRNAs at one or more internal positions on at least one strand, optionally via a linker or carrier.

Extrahepatic delivery

One aspect of the present invention relates to double-stranded RNAi (dsRNA) duplex agent capable of inhibiting the expression of a target gene. The dsRNA duplex comprises one or more motifs of three identical modifications on three consecutive nucleotides in one or both strand, particularly at or near the cleavage site of the strand. Other aspects of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these dsRNA agents suitable for therapeutic use, and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these dsRNA agents, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.

Modified RNAi agents

One aspect of the present invention relates to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) agent capable of inhibiting the expression of a target gene. The antisense strand of the dsRNA molecule comprises at least one thermally destabilizing nucleotide occurring at a seed region; the dsRNA comprises at least four 2'-fluoro modifications, and the sense strand of the dsRNA molecule comprises ligand, wherein the ligand is an ASGPR ligand. Other aspects of the invention relate to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these dsRNA molecules suitable for therapeutic use, and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these dsRNA molecules, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.

Modified RNA agents with reduced off-target effect

The invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double-stranded RNAi agents, targeting the Serpina1 gene, and methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of Serpina1 and methods of treating subjects having a Serpina1 associated disease, such as a liver disorder.

SERPINA1 iRNA compositions and methods of use thereof

One aspect of the present invention relates to a double stranded iRNA agent comprising an antisense strand which is complementary to a target gene; a sense strand which is complementary to said antisense strand; and one or more lipophilic moieties conjugated to one or more internal positions on at least one strand, optionally via a linker or carrier. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method of gene silencing, comprising administering to a cell or a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of the lipophilic moieties-conjugated double-stranded iRNAs.

The invention relates to iRNA, e.g., double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA), compositions targeting the complement component C5 gene, and methods of using such iRNA, e.g., dsRNA, compositions to inhibit expression of C5 and to treat subjects having a complement component C5-associated disease, e.g., paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Complement component C5 iRNA compositions and methods of use thereof

The invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double stranded RNAi agents, targeting the Serpina1 gene, and methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of Serpina1 and methods of treating subjects having a Serpina1 associated disease, such as a liver disorder.

Serpina1 iRNA compositions and methods of use thereof

The present invention relates to a chirally-modified dsRNA agent capable of inhibiting the expression of a target gene. The sense and antisense strands of chirally-modified dsRNA agent independently or in combination comprises one or more site specific-site specific/position specific, chirally-modified internucleotide linkages.

Chirally-enriched double-stranded RNA agents

One aspect of the present invention relates to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) agent capable of inhibiting the expression of a target gene. The antisense strand of the dsRNA molecule comprises at least one thermally destabilizing nucleotide occurring at a seed region; the dsRNA comprises at least four 2'-fluoro modifications, and the sense strand of the dsRNA molecule comprises ligand, wherein the ligand is an ASGPR ligand. Other aspects of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these dsRNA molecules suitable for therapeutic use, and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these dsRNA molecules, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.

The present invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double-stranded RNAi agents, targeting the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, and methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of AGT and methods of treating subjects having an AGT-associated disorder, e.g., hypertension.

Angiotensinogen (AGT) iRNA compositions and methods of use thereof

The invention relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) targeting a PROC gene, and methods of using the dsRNA to inhibit expression of PROC.

Compositions and methods for inhibition of expression of protein C (PROC) genes
