Verve Therapeutics Inc

Verve Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage genetic medicines company. The Company is focused on developing a new approach to the care of cardiovascular disease (CVD), transforming treatment from chronic management to single-course gene editing medicines. The Company’s lead programs include VERVE-101, VERVE-102, and VERVE-201, which target genes that have been validated as targets for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a root cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). VERVE-101 and VERVE-102 are designed to permanently turn off the PCSK9 gene in the liver and are being developed initially for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH). VERVE-201 is designed to permanently turn off the ANGPTL3 gene in the liver and is initially being developed for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) and for refractory hypercholesterolemia where patients still have high LDL-C despite treatment with maximally tolerated standard of care therapies.
