Oligonucleotide therapeutics have become mainstream tools for regulation of rare and genetic diseases through their ability to modulate gene expression across a variety of processes. Generational advances in chemistry, delivery and targeting have positively impacted their safety profile. While challenges remain, cell-specific targeting has significantly decreased effective dose and reduced off-target effects, leading to improved safety. This session will address some of the strategies that have contributed to these improvements in safety.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Understand the underlying advances that have contributed to the Safety of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics
- Understand the impact of specific targeting on exposure reduction and resulting Safety
- Hear about the expansion of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics to broader disease populations as a result of their improved benefit-risk profile
