Background

Volanesorsen is an antisense oligonucleotide that binds to apoC-III mRNA to prevent its translation. It is indicated to treat familial chylomicronemia, a genetic condition that prevents breakdown of triglycerides and chylomicrons. This drug is not commonly prescribed as it is used as an adjunct to diet in patients at high risk for pancreatitis, who have had inadequate response to triglyceride lowering therapy.

Volanesorsen was granted a conditional approval by the European Medicines Agency.

Indication

Volanesorsen is conditionally approved by the EMA as an adjunct to diet in adults with familial chylomicronemia, at high risk for pancreatitis, and who have had an inadequate response to diet and triglyceride lowering therapy.
