Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified loss-of-function variants in the hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 13 gene (HSD17B13) associated with reduced risk of chronic liver disease. In this Phase 1 study, we evaluated safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of rapirosiran, an investigational, N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-conjugated small interfering RNA targeting liver-expressed mRNA for HSD17B13.
