@VerveTx 3Q earnings: 1. VERVE-102 targeting PCSK9 being tested in Heart-2 trial *treated 7 patients now across 2 dose levels (0.3 mg/kg and 0.45 mg/kg) *well tolerated, no serious adverse events, no clinically significant lab abnormalities *escalation to next dose after planned DSMB *data disclosure planned in 1H 2025 2. VERVE-201 targeting ANGPTL3 - first patient has been dosed in Pulse-1 trial! 3. Continued progress on pre-clinical LPA product candidate 4. $540M in cash, runway through 2026 5. With two product candidates now in the clinic, 2025 should be an eventful year for Verve's vision 👇 ir.vervetx.com/news-releases…

Replying to @skathire @CircAHA
@VerveTx approach to targets: human genetics: heterozygous & homozygous deficiency -> protection from disease, tolerated & safe human pharmacology: another Rx against target proven to work in patients These validation criteria led to prioritization of PCSK9, ANGPTL3, & LPA

Great work by @bryanmac14 & team on trying to track down the substrate for the MI associated gene ADAMTS7.
Happy to share our follow-up ADAMTS7 study identifying new candidate substrates using TAILS proteomics in collaboration with @HasmikKeshishi1 Steven Carr @BroadProteomics & @patrick_ellinor. We hope our findings help to reinvigorate ADAMTS7 activity-based biomarker development!
