[006] The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the finding that a discontinuous gap segment flanked between a 5' wing segment and a 3' wing segment, in a modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide of the disclosure, provides enhanced activity compared to conventional gapmers (antisense oligonucleotides composed of a central DNA segment flanked by wing segments). One or more gap segments placed directly between two gap segments, thus making the gap segment discontinuous, surprisingly provides enhanced activity of the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide. The inventors unexpectedly found that placing gap segments at specific positions of the multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides of the disclosure provides enhanced activity.Without being limited by theory or mechanisms, one or more separator segments flanked between gap segments provide an advantageous secondary structure for enhanced physicochemical properties (e.g., solubility) and alternative interactions with nucleases (e.g., endonucleases, such as RNase H) when duplexed with a target nucleic acid, thus increasing the ability of the revelation-modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides to target and / or degrade the target mRNA.
[007] In addition, specific types of nucleoside modifications in the separator segments provide unspe enhancements Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 10 / 475 6 / 292 rados in activity. Without being limited by theory or mechanism, the inventors observed that certain nucleoside modifications in the separator segments, including 2'-O-methoxyethyl and 2'-O-methyl modifications, increase the ability of the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides to target and / or degrade the target mRNA.
[008] Without being limited by theory or mechanism, certain combinations of nucleoside modifications and positioning of the separator segment(s) within the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide enhance interactions with the RNase H endonuclease without compromising hybridization with the target sequence.
[009] A substitution of a nucleoside with a sugar-modified nucleoside (e.g., 2'-O-MOE) in conventional gapmers (i.e., those that are not multisegmented) results in increased binding affinity with a target sequence. This type of enhancement has been exploited in conventional gapmer designs to form more stable duplexes with a target sequence, thus enhancing gapmer activity. The stability of the duplexes can be determined by quantifying the melting temperature (Tm). A higher melting temperature is conventionally indicative of enhanced binding with a target sequence and is expected to result in increased nuclease recruitment and functional activity (e.g., silencing of target expression).
[0010] Distinct from current teachings in the art and distinct from conventional gappers that are not multi-segmented, the inventors unexpectedly found that the introduction of certain nucleosides (e.g., 2'-O-MOE) as a separator at certain locations in a continuous sequence of deoxynucleosides unexpectedly reduced Tm, rather than increasing it. More surprisingly, the Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, p. 11 / 475 7 / 292 multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides modified with such a reduction in Tm correlated with enhanced biological activities and potency compared to corresponding conventional gapmer designs. Without being limited by theory or mechanism, a certain combination of nucleoside modifications and positioning of the gapper segment(s) within the full-length multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide can result in a change in secondary structure, which, in turn, is advantageous for enhanced interaction with nucleases (e.g., endonucleases such as RNase H) and enhanced functional activity.
[0011] The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the finding that certain nucleoside modifications at certain positions in the 5' wing segment and / or 3' wing segment decrease in vivo toxicity. The inventors unexpectedly found that certain nucleosides modified at certain positions in the 3' wing segment (e.g., LNA) decreased in vivo toxicity. Without being limited by theory or mechanism, certain combinations of nucleoside modifications and positioning within the 5' wing segment and / or 3' wing segment contribute to the complementarity of the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide, reducing interactions with off-target sequences. The modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides described herein have one or more of the following: increased in vivo activity, reduced off-target binding, reduced toxicity, and a wider safety margin, which are advantageous for therapeutic use.

[00280] In certain embodiments, the HBV nucleic acid is the sequence established in GENBANK accession number U95551.1 (incorporated herein as SEQ ID NO: 3). In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides target a sequence cited in SEQ ID NO: 3 or a portion thereof. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotides target a sequence at positions Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, p. 124 / 475 120 / 292 1583-1602 of SEQ ID NO: 3. PCSK9
[00281] Subtilisin / Kexin Type 9 proprotein convertase (PCSK9) may also be called Subtilisin / Kexin-Like Protease PC9. Human PCSK9 has a cytogenetic location of 1p32.3 and genomic coordinates are on chromosome 1 on the right strand at positions 55,039,548-55,064,852. Human PCSK9 has a gene NCBI ID of 255738, Ref Seq Accession No. of NM_174936.4, Ref Seq Accession No. of NP_777596.2 and Ensembl Gene ID of ENSG00000169174.
[00282] PCSK9 activity is primarily in the liver, and PCSK9 is associated with dyslipidemias, PCSK9-related familial hypercholesterolemia, hypercholesterolemia (familial), gastric papillary adenocarcinoma, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and nasopharyngitis. PCSK9-related familial hypercholesterolemia is a hereditary (autosomal dominant) disease in which the body develops dangerously high blood cholesterol levels due to the lack of a receptor for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. PCSK9-related familial hypercholesterolemia affects between 1 in 500 heterozygous individuals and 1 in 1,000,000 homozygous individuals worldwide and is more common in Afrikaner, French-Canadian, Lebanese Christian, and Finnish populations. Common symptoms of familial hypercholesterolemia related to PCSK9 include elevated circulating cholesterol contained in low-density lipoproteins alone or also in very low-density lipoproteins.Current treatments for PCSK9-related familial hypercholesterolemia include the administration of statins to inhibit hydroxymethylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) in the liver. Another treatment option for PCSK9-related familial hypercholesterolemia is ezetimibe to inhibit cholesterol absorption in the intestine. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 125 / 475 121 / 292
[00283] In some embodiments, the PCSK9 nucleic acid is the sequence established in the NCBI ID gene of NM_174936.4 or a portion thereof.
[00284] In some embodiments, the PCSK9 target comprises the sequence cited in SEQ IDs NOS: 1454, 1458, or 1472, or a portion thereof, or a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% complementary to SEQ IDs NO: 1454, 1458, or 1472.
[00285] In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide comprises a nucleobase sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1432, 1436, or 1450. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1432, 1436, or 1450. DMPK
[00286] The DM1 protein kinase (DMPK) may also be called DM, DM1, DMK, MDPK, DM1PK, MT-PK. Human DMPK has a cytogenetic location of 19q13.32 and the genomic coordinates are on Chromosome 19 on the reverse strand at positions 45, 769, 70945, 782, 490. Human DMPK has a gene NCBI ID of 1760, Ref Seq Accession No. of NM_004409.5, Ref Seq Accession No. of NP_004400.4 and Ensembl Gene ID of ENSG00000104936.
[00287] DMPK activity is primarily in muscle and Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 126 / 475 122 / 292 DMPK is associated with myotonic dystrophy type 1 and adult-onset Steinert's myotonic dystrophy. The genetic defect in DM1 results from an amplified trinucleotide repeat in the untranslated region of the 3-prime of a protein kinase gene. The severity of the disease varies with the number of repeats: normal individuals have 5 to 37 repeats, mildly affected individuals have 50 to 150 repeats, patients with classic DM have 100 to 1000 repeats, and those with birth-onset may have more than 2000 repeats. The disorder shows genetic anticipation, with the expansion of the repeat number dependent on the sex of the transmitting parent. Alleles with 40 to 80 repeats are generally expanded when transmitted by males, while only alleles with more than 80 repeats tend to expand in maternal transmissions. Repeat contraction events occur 4.2 to 6.4% of the time.The prevalence rate of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is greater than 1 / 1000 in specific populations and 1-9 / 100,000 people worldwide, especially in Europe, Italy, Japan, Ireland, Norway, and the United States. T1D is mainly characterized by myotonia, muscular dystrophy, cataracts, hypogonadism, frontal baldness, and ECG changes. Currently approved drugs for T1D include methylphenidate, dopamine, lamotrigine, mexiletine, and metformin.
[00288] In some embodiments, the DMPK nucleic acid is the sequence established in the NCBI ID gene of NM_004409.5 or a portion thereof.
[00289] In some embodiments, the DMPK target comprises the sequence recited in SEQ ID NO: 1455, 1459, 1460, or 1461, or a portion thereof, or a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, by Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 127 / 475 123 / 292 less 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% complementarity to SEQ ID NO: 1455, 1459, 1460, or 1461.
[00290] In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1433, 1437, 1438, or 1439. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1433, 1437, 1438, or 1439. TTR
[00291] Transthyretin (TTR) may also be called CTS, TTN, ATTR, CTS1, PALB, TBPA, HEL111, HsT2651. Human TTR has a cytogenetic location of 18q12.1 and genomic coordinates are on chromosome 18 on the right strand at position 3159187731598821. Human TTR has a gene NCBI ID of 7276, Ref Seq Accession No. of NM_000371.4, Ref Seq Accession No. of NP_000362.1 and Ensembl Gene ID of ENSG00000118271.
[00292] Transthyretin synthesized in the liver is secreted into the blood, while transthyretin originating in the choroid plexus is destined for the CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). Transthyretin is associated with local and systemic amyloidosis, a disorder characterized by the systemic extracellular deposition of mutated or wild-type transthyretin as amyloid fibrils. Senile systemic amyloidosis is a sporadic disorder resulting from the extracellular deposition of wild-type transthyretin fibrils in cardiac and other tissues. More than 80 mutations in transthyretin are associated with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy and cardiomyopathy. The Val122Ile, Val30Met, and Gluo.1Lys variants are common amyloidogenic mutations worldwide. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 128 / 475 124 / 292 In most of these cases, inheritance is autosomal dominant. The prevalence ratio of Val30Met amyloidosis is 6-9 / 10,000 in Portugal, 1-9 / 1,000,000 in Japan and Cyprus. Patients with transthyretin amyloidosis typically present with polyneuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, autonomic dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, and gastrointestinal features, occasionally accompanied by vitreous opacities and renal failure. In later stages of the disease, severe diarrhea with malabsorption, cachexia, disabling neuropathy, severe cardiac disorders, and marked orthostatic hypotension dominate the clinical picture. Death usually occurs 5 to 15 years after the onset of symptoms. The FDA has approved vutrisiran (Amvuttra), patisiran (Onpattro), and inotersen (Tegsedi) for the treatment of polyneuropathy caused by hATTR in adults. Tafamidis (Vyndamax) and tafamidis meglumine (Vyndaqel) are FDA-approved for transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
[00293] In some embodiments, the TTR nucleic acid is the sequence established in the NCBI ID gene of NM_000371.4 or a portion thereof.
[00294] In some embodiments, the TTR target comprises the sequence recited in SEQ ID NO: 1456, 1462, or 1474, or a portion thereof, or a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% complementarity to SEQ ID NO: 1456, 1462, or 1474.
[00295] In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence with SEQ ID NO: 1434, 1440, or 1452. In some embodiments, the oligo Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, p. 129 / 475 The modified multisegmented antisense nucleotide 125 / 292 is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1434, 1440, or 1452. AAT
[00296] Member 1 of the A family of serpin (SERPINA1) may also be called PI, A1A, AAT, PI1, A1AT, nNIF, PRO2275, alpha1AT. Human SERPINA1 has a cytogenetic location of 14q32.13 and the genomic coordinates are on Chromosome 14 on the reverse strand at positions 94, 376, 747-94, 390, 635. Human SERPINA1 has a gene NCBI ID of 5265, Ref Seq Accession No. of NM_000295.5, Ref Seq Accession No. of NP_000286.3 and Ensembl Gene ID of ENSG00000197249.
[00297] AAT is predominantly produced by hepatocytes and secreted into the blood; however, low levels of AAT expression are also detected in the lung and intestine. Diseases associated with SERPINA1 include Alpha-1-Antitrypsin deficiency and hemorrhagic disease due to the Pittsburgh mutation of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary disorder that can cause lung disease and liver disease. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency occurs worldwide, but its prevalence varies by population. This disorder affects approximately 1 in 1500 to 3500 individuals of European descent. It is uncommon in people of Asian descent. Many individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are likely undiagnosed, particularly people with a lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).COPD can be caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency; however, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency often does not cause chronic conditions. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 130 / 475 A deficiency of 126 / 292 is diagnosed. Some people with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are misdiagnosed with asthma. Treatment of lung disease may include bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, and, when infections occur, antibiotics. Intravenous infusions of A1AT protein or lung transplantation in severe cases may also be recommended. In people with severe liver disease, liver transplantation may be an option. It is also recommended to avoid smoking and to get vaccinated against influenza, pneumococcus, and hepatitis.
[00298] In some embodiments, the nucleic acid of AAT is the sequence established in the NCBI ID gene of NM_000295.5 or a portion thereof.
[00299] In some embodiments, the AAT target comprises the sequence recited in SEQ ID NO: 1457 or 1463 or a portion thereof or a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99% or 100% complementarity to SEQ ID NO: 1457 or 1463.
[00300] In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide has a nucleobase sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1435 or 1441. In some embodiments, the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide is at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or 100% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1435 or 1441.
[00301] As a general matter, the target of oligonucleotides Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 131 / 475 127 / 292 Modified multisegmented tissue samples are gene transcripts. In certain embodiments, a target region is a structurally defined region of the target nucleic acid. For example, a target region may encompass a 3' UTR, a 5' UTR, an exon, an intron, an exon / intron junction, a coding region, a translation initiation region, a translation termination region, or another defined nucleic acid region. Structurally defined regions for a target can be obtained by accession number from sequence databases such as NCBI, and such information is incorporated herein by reference. In certain embodiments, a target region may span the sequence from a 5' target site of one target segment within the target region to a 3' target site of another target segment within the same target region.
[00302] Targeting involves determining at least one target segment to which an antisense compound hybridizes so that a desired effect occurs. In certain embodiments, the desired effect is a reduction in the levels of the target nucleic acid mRNA. In certain embodiments, the desired effect is a reduction in the levels of the protein encoded by the target nucleic acid or a phenotypic change associated with the target nucleic acid.
[00303] A target region may contain one or more target segments. Multiple target segments within a target region may overlap. Alternatively, they may be non-overlapping. In certain embodiments, the target segments within a target region are separated by no more than about 300 nucleotides. In certain embodiments, the target segments within a target region are separated by a number of nucleotides that is, is about, is not more than, is not more than about 250, 200, 150, 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, or 10 nucleotides in the target nucleic acid, or is a range defined by any two of the preceding values. In certain mo Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 132 / 475 In embodiments 128 / 292, the target segments within a target region are separated by no more than, or no more than about 5 nucleotides in the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the target segments are contiguous. Target regions defined by a band with a starting nucleic acid that is either one of the 5' target sites or 3' target sites listed here are contemplated.
[00304] Suitable target segments can be found within a 5' UTR, a coding region, a 3' UTR, an intron, an exon, or an exon / intron junction. Target segments containing a start codon or a stop codon are also suitable target segments. A suitable target segment may specifically exclude a certain structurally defined region, such as the start codon or the stop codon.
[00305] Determining suitable target segments may involve comparing the sequence of a target nucleic acid with other sequences throughout the genome. For example, the BLAST algorithm can be used to identify regions of similarity between different nucleic acids. This comparison can prevent the selection of antisense oligonucleotide sequences that may hybridize in a non-specific manner with sequences other than a selected target nucleic acid (i.e., non-target or off-target sequences). Hybridization
[00306] In some embodiments, hybridization occurs between an antisense oligonucleotide disclosed herein and a target nucleic acid. The most common hybridization mechanism involves hydrogen bonding (e.g., Watson-Crick, Hoogsteen, or inverted Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding) between complementary nucleobases of nucleic acid molecules.
[00307] Hybridization can occur under varying conditions. The strict conditions are sequence-dependent and are determined Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 133 / 475 129 / 292 of the nature and composition of the nucleic acid molecules to be hybridized.
[00308] The methods for determining whether a sequence is specifically hybridizable with a target nucleic acid are well known in the art. In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides provided here are specifically hybridizable with a target nucleic acid. Complementarity
[00309] An antisense oligonucleotide and a target nucleic acid are complementary to each other when a sufficient number of nucleobases of the antisense oligonucleotide can hydrogen-bind with the corresponding nucleobases of the target nucleic acid, so that a desired effect occurs (e.g., antisense inhibition of a target nucleic acid).
[00310] Non-complementary nucleobases between an antisense oligonucleotide and a target nucleic acid may be tolerated provided that the antisense oligonucleotide remains capable of specifically hybridizing with a target nucleic acid. Furthermore, an antisense oligonucleotide may hybridize onto one or more segments of a target nucleic acid, such that intervening or adjacent segments are not involved in the hybridization event (e.g., a loop structure, mismatch, or hairpin structure).
[00311] In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides provided herein, or a specified portion thereof, are, or are at least, 70%, 80%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% complementary to a target nucleic acid, a target region, target segment or specified portion thereof. The percent complementarity of an antisense oligonucleotide with a target nucleic acid may be Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 134 / 475 130 / 292 determined using routine methods.
[00312] For example, an antisense oligonucleotide wherein 18 of the 20 nucleobases of the antisense oligonucleotide are complementary to a target region and therefore would specifically hybridize, would represent 90 percent complementarity. In this example, the remaining non-complementary nucleobases may be clustered or interspersed with complementary nucleobases and need not be contiguous to each other or to complementary nucleobases. As such, an antisense oligonucleotide that is 18 nucleobases long with four non-complementary nucleobases that are flanked by two regions of complete complementarity with the target nucleic acid would have 77.8 percent overall complementarity with the target nucleic acid and would therefore fall within the scope of the present invention.The percent complementarity of an antisense oligonucleotide with a region of a target nucleic acid can be routinely determined using BLAST programs (basic local alignment search tools) and PowerBLAST programs known in the art (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol., 1990, 215, 403-410; Zhang and Madden, Genome Res., 1997, 7, 649-656). Percent homology, sequence identity, or complementarity can be determined, for example, by the Gap program (Wisconsin Sequence Analysis Package, Version 8 for Unix, Genetics Computer Group, University Research Park, Madison, Wis.), using default settings, which uses the Smith and Waterman algorithm (Adv. Appl. Math., 1981, 2, 482-489).
[00313] In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides provided herein, or specified portions thereof, are fully complementary (i.e., 100% complementary) to a target nucleic acid, or a specified portion thereof. As used herein, fully complementary means that each nucleobase of an antisense oligonucleotide is capable of precise base pairing with Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 135 / 475 131 / 292 as the corresponding nucleobases of a target nucleic acid. For example, a 20-nucleobase antisense oligonucleotide is fully complementary to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long, provided there is a corresponding 20-nucleobase portion of the target nucleic acid that is fully complementary to the antisense oligonucleotide. Fully complementary can also be used in reference to a specified portion of the first and / or second nucleic acid. For example, a 20-nucleobase portion of a 30-nucleobase antisense oligonucleotide can be fully complementary to a target sequence that is 400 nucleobases long. The 20-nucleobase portion of the 30-nucleobase oligonucleotide is fully complementary to the target sequence if the target sequence has a corresponding 20-nucleobase portion, with each nucleobase being complementary to the 20-nucleobase portion of the antisense oligonucleotide.At the same time, the entire 30-nucleobase antisense oligonucleotide may or may not be fully complementary to the target sequence, depending on whether the remaining 10 nucleobases of the antisense oligonucleotide are also complementary to the target sequence.
[00314] The location of a non-complementary nucleobase may be at the 5' end or the 3' end of the antisense oligonucleotide. Alternatively, the non-complementary nucleobase or nucleobases may be in an internal position of the antisense oligonucleotide. When two or more non-complementary nucleobases are present, they may be contiguous (i.e., linked) or non-contiguous. In one embodiment, a non-complementary nucleobase is located in the wing segment of a gapper antisense oligonucleotide. In another embodiment, a non-complementary nucleobase is located in the wing segment of a multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 136 / 475 132 / 292
[00315] The antisense oligonucleotides provided also include those that are complementary to a portion of a target nucleic acid. As used herein, portion refers to a defined number of contiguous (i.e., linked) nucleobases within a region or segment of a target nucleic acid. A portion may also refer to a defined number of contiguous nucleobases of an antisense oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least an 8-nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least a 9-nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least a 10-nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least one 11-nucleobase portion of a target segment.In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least one 12-nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least one 13-nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least one 14-nucleobase portion of a target segment. In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides are complementary to at least one 15-nucleobase portion of a target segment. Antisense oligonucleotides that are complementary to at least 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 or more nucleobase portions of a target segment, or a range defined by any two of these values, are also contemplated. Identity
[00316] The antisense oligonucleotides provided here may have Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 137 / 475 133 / 292 also a defined percentage of identity for a particular nucleotide sequence (i.e., SEQ ID NOs: 11-1453 or 500030983, or oligonucleotide, or portion thereof). As used herein, an antisense oligonucleotide is identical to the sequence disclosed herein if it has the same nucleobase pairing capability. For example, an RNA containing uracil in place of thymidine in a disclosed DNA sequence would be considered identical to the DNA sequence, since uracil and thymidine pair with adenine. Shortened and elongated versions of the antisense oligonucleotides described herein, as well as oligonucleotides with non-identical bases relative to the antisense oligonucleotides provided herein, are also contemplated. The non-identical bases may be adjacent to each other or dispersed throughout the antisense oligonucleotide.The percentage of identity of an antisense oligonucleotide is calculated based on the number of bases that have identical base pairings with respect to the sequence being compared.
[00317] As used herein, complementary polynucleotides are those that are capable of base pairing according to the standard Watson-Crick complementarity rules. Specifically, purines will pair with pyrimidines to form a combination of guanine paired with cytosine (G:C) and adenine paired with thymine (A:T) in the case of DNA, or adenine paired with uracil (A:U) in the case of RNA. For example, the sequence AGT binds to the complementary sequence TCA. It is understood that two polynucleotides can hybridize with each other even if they are not completely complementary to each other, provided that each has at least one region that is substantially complementary to the other.
[00318] As used herein, the terms substantially complementary or partially complementary mean that two nucleic acid sequences are complementary in at least about Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 138 / 475 134 / 292%, 60%, 70%, 80% or 90% of its nucleotides.
[00319] In some embodiments, the two nucleic acid sequences may be complementary in at least 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more of their nucleotides. In some modalities, the two nucleic acid sequences can be between 60% and 100% complementary, between 70% and 100% complementary, between 80% and 100% complementary, between 90% and 100% complementary, between 60% and 90% complementary, between 60% and 80% complementary, between 60% and 70% complementary, between 70% and 90% complementary, between 70% and 80% complementary, between 80% and 100% complementary, or between 80% and 90% complementary.
[00320] The terms substantially complementary and partially complementary can also mean that two nucleic acid sequences can hybridize under conditions of high rigor, and such conditions are well known in the art.
[00321] As used herein, the term identity means that the sequences are compared with each other as follows. In order to determine the percentage of identity of two nucleic acid sequences, the sequences may first be aligned with respect to each other in order to subsequently make a comparison of these sequences possible. For this, for example, gaps may be inserted into the sequence of the first nucleic acid sequence and the nucleotides may be compared with the corresponding position in the second nucleic acid sequence. If a position in the first nucleic acid sequence is occupied by the same nucleotide as is the case in a position in the second sequence, the two sequences are identical at this position. The percentage of identity between two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions divided by the number of all positions compared in the sequences investigated. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 139 / 475 135 / 292
[00322] A percentage of identity for aligned segments of a test sequence and a reference sequence is the percentage of identical components that are shared by the two aligned sequences divided by the total number of components in the reference sequence segment, that is, the entire reference sequence or a defined smaller part of the reference sequence.
[00323] The percentage identity of two sequences can be determined with the aid of a mathematical algorithm. An example of a mathematical algorithm that can be used for comparing two sequences is the algorithm of Karlin et al. (1993), PNAS USA, 90: 5873-5877. Such an algorithm is integrated into the NBLAST program, with which sequences that have a desired identity with the sequences of the present invention can be identified. In order to obtain a gapped alignment, as described herein, the Gapped BLAST program can be used, as described in Altschul et al.(1997), Nucleic Acids Res, 25:3389-3402. If the BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs are used, the predefined parameters of the specific program (e.g., NBLAST) can be used. Sequences can be further aligned using version 9 of the Genetic Computing Group's GAP (global alignment program) using the predefined matrix (BLOSUM62) (values -4 to +11) with a gap opening penalty of -12 (for the first zero of a gap) and a gap extension penalty of -4 (for each additional successive zero in the gap). After alignment, percent identity is calculated by expressing the number of matches as a percent content of nucleic acids in the claimed sequence. The methods described for determining the percent identity of two nucleic acid sequences can also be used correspondingly, if necessary, on encoded amino acid sequences. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 140 / 475 136 / 292
[00324] Useful methods for determining sequence identity are also revealed in Guide to Huge Computers (Martin J. Bishop, ed., Academic Press, San Diego (1994)), and Carillo, H., and Lipton, D., (Applied Math48: 1073 (1988)). More particularly, preferred computer programs for determining sequence identity include, but are not limited to, Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) programs that are publicly available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md. 20894; See BLAST Manual, Altschul et al., NCBI, NLM, NIH; (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215: 403-410 (1990)); version 2.BLAST programs with version 0 or higher allow the introduction of gaps (deletions and insertions) in alignments; for peptide sequences, BLASTX can be used to determine sequence identity; and, for polynucleotide sequences, BLASTN can be used to determine sequence identity. The percentage of identity can be 70% identity or higher, for example, at least 70% identity, at least 75% identity, at least 80% identity, at least 85% identity, at least 90% identity, at least 95% identity, at least 98% identity, at least 99% identity, or 100% identity. Modifications
[00325] A nucleoside is a base-sugar combination. The nucleobase (also known as the base) portion of the nucleoside is typically a heterocyclic base. Nucleotides are nucleosides that also include a phosphate group covalently linked to the sugar portion of the nucleoside. For nucleosides that include a pentofuranosyl sugar, the phosphate group may be attached to the 2', 3', or 5' hydroxyl portion of the sugar. Oligonucleotides are formed through the covalent linkage of adjacent nucleosides. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 141 / 475 137 / 292 to the others, to form a linear polymeric oligonucleotide. Within the oligonucleotide structure, the phosphate groups are commonly referred to as forming the internucleosidic bonds of the oligonucleotide.
[00326] Modifications to antisense oligonucleotides include substitutions or alterations in internucleosidic bonds, sugar moieties, or nucleobases. Modified antisense oligonucleotides are often preferred over native forms due to desirable properties such as enhanced cellular uptake, increased affinity for the nucleic acid target, increased stability in the presence of nucleases, or increased inhibitory activity.
[00327] Chemically modified nucleosides can also be used to increase the binding affinity of a shortened or truncated antisense oligonucleotide to its target nucleic acid. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter antisense oligonucleotides that have such chemically modified nucleosides. Modified internucleoside bonds
[00328] The naturally occurring internucleoside linkage of RNA and DNA is a 3' to 5' phosphodiester bond. Antisense oligonucleotides with one or more modified, i.e., non-naturally occurring, internucleoside linkages are often selected over antisense oligonucleotides with naturally occurring internucleoside linkages due to desirable properties such as enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced affinity for target nucleic acids, and increased stability in the presence of nucleases.
[00329] Oligonucleotides with modified internucleoside linkages include internucleoside linkages that retain a phosphorus atom, as well as internucleoside linkages that lack a phosphorus atom. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 142 / 475 138 / 292 phosphorus atom. Representative internucleosidic bonds containing phosphorus include, but are not limited to, phosphodiesters, phosphotriesters, methylphosphonates, phosphoramidates, and phosphorothioates. The methods for preparing both phosphorus-containing and non-phosphorus-containing bonds are well known.
[00330] In certain embodiments, antisense oligonucleotides targeting a specific nucleic acid comprise one or more modified internucleosidic bonds. In certain embodiments, the modified internucleosidic bonds are phosphorothioate bonds. In certain embodiments, each internucleosidic bond of an antisense oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate internucleosidic bond. In some embodiments, a modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide comprises one or more modified internucleosidic bonds, wherein the modified internucleosidic bond is a phosphorodiamidate bond between morpholino nucleoside mimetics. Modified sugar portions
[00331] The antisense oligonucleotides provided herein may optionally contain one or more nucleosides having the sugar group modified. Such sugar-modified nucleosides may confer greater stability to the nuclease, greater binding affinity, or some other beneficial biological property to the antisense oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, the nucleosides comprise a chemically modified portion of the ribofuranose ring. Examples of chemically modified ribofuranose rings include, without limitation, the addition of substituent groups (including 5' and 2' substituent groups); bridging of non-geninal ring atoms to form bicyclic nucleic acids (BNA); substitution of the oxygen atom of the ribosyl ring by S, N(R), or C(R1)(R2)(R = H, C1-C12 alkyl, or a protecting group); and combinations thereof. Examples of chemically modified sugars Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 143 / 475 139 / 292 Modified forms include, substituted 2'-F-5'-methyl nucleoside (see International PCT Application No. WO 2008 / 101157, published on 21 / 08 / 08 for other 5',2'-bis-substituted nucleosides disclosed), substitution of the oxygen atom of the ribosyl ring by S with additional substitution at the 2' position (see US Patent Application No. US2005 / 0130923, published on June 16, 2005), or, alternatively, 5' substitution of a BNA (see International PCT Application No. WO 2007 / 134181, published on 22 / 11 / 07, wherein LNA is substituted by, for example, a 5'-methyl or 5'-vinyl group).
[00332] Examples of nucleosides with modified sugar moieties include, without limitation, nucleosides comprising 5'-vinyl, 5'-methyl (R or S), 4'-S, 2'-F, 2'-OCH3 and 2'O(CH2)2OCH3 substituent groups. The substituent at the 2' position may also be selected from allyl, amino, azido, thio, O-allyl, O-C1-C10 alkyl, OCF3, O(CH2)2SCH3, O(CH2)2-ON(Rm)(Rn), and O-CH2-C(=O)-N(Rm)(Rn), wherein each Rm and Rn independently H or C1-C10 alkyl is substituted or unsubstituted.
[00333] As used herein, bicyclic nucleosides refer to modified nucleosides comprising a bicyclic sugar moiety. Examples of bicyclic nucleosides include, without limitation, nucleosides comprising a bridge between the 4' and 2' ribosyl ring atoms. In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotides provided herein include one or more bicyclic nucleosides wherein the bridge comprises a 4' to 2' bicyclic nucleoside. Examples of such 4' to 2' bicyclic nucleosides include, but are not limited to, one of the following formulas: 4'-(CH2)-O-2' (LNA); 4'-(CH2)-S-2; 4'-(CH2)2-O-2' (Ena); 4'-CH(CH3)-O-2' (cEt) and 4'-CH(CH2OCH3)-O-2', and analogues thereof (see US Patent No. 7,399,845, issued July 15, 2008); 4'-C(CH3)(CH3)-O-2', and analogues thereof (see International PCT Application WO2009 / 006478, published January 8, 2009).

Org. Chem., 2009, 74, 118-134); and 4'-CH2-C(=CH2)-2', and analogues thereof (see, published International PCT Application WO 2008 / 154401, published December 8, 2008).

The unit dose form is any one of a variety of forms, including, for example, a capsule, an IV bag, a tablet, a single-use injector, a single pump in an aerosol inhaler, or a vial. The amount of active ingredient (e.g., a formulation of the modified multisegmented antisense oligonucleotide) in a unit dose of the composition is an effective amount and is varied according to the particular treatment involved. One skilled in the art will appreciate that it is sometimes necessary to make routine variations in dosage depending on the age and condition of the patient. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration.A variety of routes are contemplated, including oral, pulmonary, rectal, parenteral, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, inhalation, buccal, subcutaneous. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 159 / 475 155 / 292 lingual, intrapleural, intrathecal, intranasal and the like. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of this invention include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants.

[00372] Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient means an excipient that is useful in the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes excipients that are acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. A pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, as used in the descriptive report, includes one and more than one of these excipients.
[00373] A pharmaceutical composition is formulated to be compatible with its intended route of administration. Examples of routes of administration include parenteral administration, for example, intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, oral (e.g., inhalation), transdermal (topical), intraperitoneal (into the body cavity), and transmucosal. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous application may include the following components: a sterile diluent, such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents, such as benzyl alcohol or methylparabens; antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers, such as acetates, citrates, or phosphates; and tonicity adjusters, such as sodium chloride or dextrose.pH can be adjusted with acids or bases, such as hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. A. Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 160 / 475 156 / 292 Parenteral or subcutaneous preparations may be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes, or multi-dose vials made of glass or plastic. These preparations may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatics, and solutes that make the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient. Sterile aqueous and non-aqueous suspensions may include suspending agents and thickening agents. The formulations may be presented in single / dose or multidose containers, for example, ampoules, syringes, and sealed vials, and may be stored in a lyophilized (freeze-dried) condition that requires only the addition of the sterile liquid vehicle, for example, saline solution or water for injection, immediately before use.
[00374] The pharmaceutical composition described herein may be manufactured in a manner generally known, for example, by conventional processes of mixing, dissolving, granulating, producing dragees, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, trapping or lyophilizing. Pharmaceutical compositions may be conventionally formulated using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, comprising excipients and / or adjuvants that facilitate the processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. Naturally, the appropriate formulation depends on the chosen route of administration.
[00375] Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injection include sterile aqueous solutions (when soluble in water) or sterile dispersions and powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline solution, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL™ (BASF, Parsippany, NJ) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and fluid enough to allow for easy syringeability. It must be stable in Petition 870250074928, dated 08 / 25 / 2025, page 161 / 475 157 / 292 manufacturing and storage conditions and must be protected against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The vehicle may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol and the like) and suitable mixtures thereof. Adequate fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by maintaining the necessary particle size in the case of dispersion, and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of microbial action may be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol and sorbitol, and sodium chloride in the composition.Prolonged absorption of injectable compositions can be caused by the inclusion in the composition of an agent that delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[00376] Oral compositions generally include an inert diluent or a pharmaceutically acceptable edible vehicle. They may be placed in gelatin capsules or tablets. For purposes of oral therapeutic administration, the active ingredient may be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, pills, or capsules.
