Technical approach

As reported
RNAi platform

TRiM silences disease genes

TRiM platform uses siRNAs that bind target mRNA and block cells from making proteins.

APOC3 target

Block triglyceride inhibitor

Plozasiran targets APOC3, which blocks triglyceride breakdown. Silencing it allows faster clearance.

Delivery

Liver-targeted injections

Plozasiran is a subcutaneous injection designed to reach the liver, where it silences APOC3 production. It is self-administered as a quarterly injection.
