Ionis Pharma Clinical & Research Programs

Vupanorsen for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and cardiovascular disease
Vupanorsen (AKCEA-ANGPTL3-LRx), is a ligand-conjugated (LICA) investigational antisense medicine designed to reduce angiopoietin-like 3 protein, or ANGPTL3. Human genetic studies have shown that lower levels of ANGPTL3 are associated with lower plasma triglyceride (TG) and LDL-C and protection against certain cardiovascular diseases. Vupanorsen advanced into Phase 2b development with the initiation of the TRANSLATE-TIMI 70 dose-ranging study in statin-treated patients with dyslipidemia, resulting in a $75 million payment from Pfizer

IONIS-FXI-LRx 
IONIS-FXI-LRx utilizes Ionis' advanced LIgand Conjugated Antisense (LICA) technology platform and is designed to reduce the production of Factor XI (FXI), a clotting factor produced in the liver. High levels of FXI increase the risk of thrombosis and can be responsible for heart attacks and strokes. Alternatively, individuals deficient in FXI have a lower incidence of thrombosis-related events and little to no increase in bleeding risk.

IONIS-HBVRx for the treatment of hepatitis B virus infection

IONIS-ENAC-2.5Rx for the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis

IONIS-PKK-LRx for the treatment of Hereditary angioedema

ION541 for the treatment of patients with nearly all forms of ALS

ION464 for the treatment of patients with multiple system atrophy

IONIS-MAPTRx for the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease 

Financial Highlights 

  • On track to achieve financial guidance of being meaningfully profitable in 2020 
  • Net income of $5 million on a non-GAAP basis and a net loss of $31 million on a GAAP basis for the third quarter

  • Net loss attributable to Ionis' common stockholders for the third quarter of 2020 compared to net income in the same period in 2019 primarily due to higher revenue in 2019, and increased expense
