Session 10 Track 2: Extra-Hepatic Targeting and Delivery
Session Chair(s)

Executive Director, Toxicology, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., United States
James Wild, PHD, MS
Pharmacologist, CDER, FDA, United States
Targeted delivery and activity of oligonucleotides in extra-hepatic tissues can enable localized exposures and reduce dose levels and limit systemic exposures and associated toxicities including off-target effects. This session will highlight diverse oligonucleotide programs and delivery strategies targeting multiple indications across tissues such as cardiac, adipose, ocular, and joint tissues. Key topics will include delivery technologies, nonclinical study design considerations and pharmacology, ADME, and toxicology data supporting extra-hepatic applications.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Identify emerging approaches for targeting specific RNA messages or message cascades in tissues or organs outside of the liver
- Understand the key challenges and advantages of targeted oligonucleotide delivery and activity in diverse extra-hepatic tissues.
- Apply key nonclinical considerations (e.g., pharmacology, ADME, toxicology) to support extra-hepatic development
