Mechanism: ApoC-III antisense oligonucleotide
Expert: GalNAc-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting hepatic APOC3 mRNA. ApoC-III inhibits lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and hepatic uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Reduction of ApoC-III restores triglyceride clearance via both LPL-dependent and LPL-independent pathways, which is critical for FCS patients who have genetic LPL deficiency.
Everyday: A gene-silencing drug that blocks the liver from making a protein (ApoC-III) that slows down fat clearance from blood. ApoC-III is like a traffic cop that stops fat particles from being removed — silencing it lets the body clear triglycerides much faster. Given as a monthly injection under the skin.

Notes
GalNAc-conjugated ApoC-III ASO for FCS. FDA approved Dec 2024. EU launch initiated early 2026. Phase 3 ongoing for broader severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) indication — much larger market. Licensed from Ionis Pharmaceuticals. SOBI also markets Waylivra (volanesorsen, first-gen ApoC-III ASO) but Tryngolza is the successor with better safety (no thrombocytopenia) and monthly dosing.
