Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for lowering Apolipoprotein C-III (ApoC-III) in a subject in need thereof. Subjects in need of ApoC-III reduction include subjects with elevated ApoC-III levels, subjects with a condition associated with ApoC-III, subjects with diabetes, obese subjects and subjects with cardiovascular disease. Compositions to lower ApoC-III include compounds targeting Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) such as Mipomersen and other antisense compound targeting ApoB.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of lowering plasma apolipoprotein C-III levels in a human subject, comprising: selecting a human subject with elevated apolipoprotein C-III levels or a condition associated with apolipoprotein C-III; and administering to said human subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide having 12-30 linked nucleosides, or a salt thereof, wherein said modified oligonucleotide is 100% complementary to a nucle…
