One of its significant projects includes RG-101, a GalNAc-conjugated anti-miR targeting microRNA-122 aimed at treating chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Another promising drug candidate is RG-012, which targets microRNA-21 for treating Alport Syndrome, a severe kidney disease driven by genetic mutations with no approved therapies currently available.
Moreover, Regulus, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, is working on RG-125, an anti-miR targeting microRNA-103/107 for treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with type 2 diabetes/pre-diabetes, which has already entered Phase I clinical development. Additionally, RGLS8429, an anti-miR next-generation oligonucleotide targeting miR-17, is in Phase 1b clinical development for treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
Recently, Regulus reported positive topline data from the first and second cohorts of the Phase 1b MAD study of RGLS8429. The company has completed enrollment for the third cohort of this study, with topline data expected in mid-2024. The latest updates indicate the initiation of the fourth cohort in May 2024, focusing on a fixed dose of 300 mg of RGLS8429, which will provide further insights into its efficacy and safety.
