Frequently asked questions about VERVE-101

What is VERVE-101?

VERVE-101 is an investigational gene editing medicine being developed by Verve Therapeutics for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes high LDL cholesterol. It is designed as a one-time treatment and has been studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular disease.

What does VERVE-101 target?

VERVE-101 targets PCSK9, a gene that regulates LDL cholesterol levels. By editing the PCSK9 gene, the therapy aims to reduce LDL cholesterol in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. PCSK9 is a well-validated target for lowering cholesterol, and VERVE-101 is designed to provide a durable effect.

Who is developing VERVE-101?

VERVE-101 is being developed by Verve Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on gene editing medicines for cardiovascular disease. Verve Therapeutics trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol VERV.
