Preclinical development and phase 1 trial of a novel siRNA targeting lipoprotein(a)

Michael J. Koren et al.

Summary: This study reports the discovery and development of a new drug, olpasiran, which can directly inhibit the translation of Lp(a) messenger RNA, leading to a significant reduction in plasma Lp(a) concentration. In animal and human trials, olpasiran demonstrated good safety and tolerability, and maintained a sustained reduction in high plasma Lp(a) concentration.

Statins and Inflammation

Martin Satny et al.

Summary: Chronic inflammation plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, and statins have been proven to have anti-inflammatory effects in addition to lipid-related benefits. Recent studies have shown that targeting inflammation directly can have vasculoprotective effects, highlighting the importance of non-lipid, pleiotropic, and anti-inflammatory effects of statins in atherosclerosis.

Andreja Rehberger Likozar et al.

Summary: Lipoprotein(a) levels are associated with coronary artery disease risk, with specific genetic variants in the LPA gene playing a role. These genetic variations are related to Lp(a) levels, but do not show significant associations with arterial wall properties.
