Study summary

VT-20101 is an Open-label, Phase 1b, Single-ascending dose study that will evaluate the safety of VERVE-201 administered to patients with Refractory Hyperlipidemia.

VERVE-201 uses base-editing technology designed to inactivate the expression of the ANGPTL3 gene in the liver and lower circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides. This study is designed to determine the safety and pharmacodynamic profile of VERVE-201 in this patient population.

Inclusion criteria

  • hypercholesterolemia
  • Refractory hypertriglyceridemia

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Active or history of chronic liver disease
  • Current treatment with monoclonal antibody targeting ANGPTL3 or prior treatment within specified timeframe
  • or abnormal laboratory values as defined by the protocol
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Oct 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 38 months after the start.

Of 41 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Hypercholesterolemia, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 11. This study's planned 38 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 46 studies reached it within 7 months; a quarter within 2 and three quarters within 10.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
