A Phase 3 Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of VSA003 in Chinese HoFH Patients

Significant reduction in ANGPLT3 levels is expected to reduce plasma LDL-C and TG levels and may lead to the reduction of risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular events associated with hypertriglyceridemia and LDL-C in subjects with persistent dyslipidemia. In this clinical study, the efficacy and safety of VSA003, an RNAi-based therapeutic targeting ANGPTL3, will be evaluated in subjects with HoFH.
