In looking ahead to the upcoming American College of Cardiology Conference in Washington DC, Anum Saeed, MD, speculates on forthcoming data from current studies and concentrates on one in particular, APOLLO, a phase 1 study that examines the efficacy of SLN360, an siRNA agent that lowers lipoprotein (a) levels.

In the absence of any approved medications for treating lipoprotein (a), the impending presentation of these data by Dr Steven Nissen fuels excitement surrounding the anticipated positive results, which not only could translate into long-awaited benefits for patients affected by this lipid disorder, but also could provide a forward glance to other potential applications of this therapy.
