Brief Summary:
VT-1001 is an open-label, phase 1b, single-ascending dose study that will evaluate the safety of VERVE-101 administered to patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia. VERVE-101 uses base-editing technology designed to disrupt the expression of the PCSK9 gene in the liver and lower circulating PCSK9 and LDL-C in patients with established ASCVD due to HeFH. This study is designed to determine the safety and pharmacodynamic profile of VERVE-101 in this patient population.
