[0029] For convenience, the meaning of certain terms and phrases used in the specification, examples, and appended claims are provided below. If there is an apparent discrepancy between the use of a term elsewhere in this specification and its definition provided in this section, the definition in this section shall prevail.
[0030] As used herein, all numeric values or numeric ranges comprise whole numbers within or encompassing such ranges and portions of the values or whole numbers within or encompassing ranges, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to a range of 90100% comprises 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 95%, 97%, etc., as well as 91.1%, 91.2%, 91.3%, 91.4%, 91.5%, etc., 92.1%, 92.2%, 92.3%, 92.4%, 92.5%, etc., and so forth. In another example, the reference to an interval of 1 to 5,000 times includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 times, etc., as well as 1,1, 1,2, 1,3, 1,4 or 1,5 times, etc., 2,1, 2,2, 2,3, 2,4 or 2,5 times, etc., and so on.
[0031] The articles a and an are used here to refer to one or more than one (i.e., at least one) grammatical object of the article. As an example, an element means one element or more than one element, for example, a plurality of elements.
[0032] The term including is used here to mean, and is used interchangeably with, the phrase including, but not limited to.
[0033] The term about is used here to mean within the typical tolerance ranges in the technique. For example, about can be understood as about 2 standard deviations from the mean. In certain embodiments, about means ±10%. In certain embodiments, about means ±5%. When about is present before a series Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 36 / 193 22 / 138 of numbers or a range, it is understood that approximately can modify each of the numbers in the series or range.
[0034] The term "at least" before a number or series of numbers is understood to include the number adjacent to the term "at least" and all subsequent numbers or integers that could logically be included, as the context makes clear. For example, the number of nucleotides in a nucleic acid molecule must be an integer. For example, "at least 19 nucleotides of a nucleic acid molecule of 21 nucleotides" means that 19, 20, or 21 nucleotides have the indicated property. When "at least" is present before a series of numbers or a range, it is understood that "at least" can modify each of the numbers in the series or range.
[0035] As used herein, not more than or less than is understood to mean the value adjacent to the phrase and logical values less than or integers, as logically contextual, to zero. For example, a duplex with a protrusion of not more than 2 nucleotides has a protrusion of 2, 1, or 0 nucleotides. When not more than is present before a series of numbers or a range, it is understood that not more than can modify each of the numbers in the series or range. As used herein, ranges include the upper and lower bounds.
[0036] G, C, A, and U generally represent a nucleotide containing guanine, cytosine, adenine, and uracil as a base, respectively. T and dT are used interchangeably here and refer to a deoxyribonucleotide in which the nucleobase is thymine, for example, deoxyribothymine. However, it should be understood that the term ribonucleotide or nucleotide or deoxyribonucleotide may also refer to a modified nucleotide, as detailed below, or to a substituent moiety. Those versed in Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 37 / 193 23 / 138 technique is aware that guanine, cytosine, adenine, and uracil can be substituted by other moieties without substantially altering the base-pairing properties of an oligonucleotide comprising a nucleotide containing such a substitution moiety. For example, without limitation, a nucleotide comprising inosine as its base can form base pairs with nucleotides containing adenine, cytosine, or uracil. Therefore, nucleotides containing uracil, guanine, or adenine can be substituted in disclosure nucleotide sequences by a nucleotide containing, for example, inosine. Sequences comprising such substitution moieties are disclosure embodiments.
[0037] INHBE refers to the inhibin beta E subunit gene. According to the NCBI NLM website, this gene encodes a member of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) protein superfamily. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate an inhibin beta subunit. Inhibins have been implicated in the regulation of several cellular processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune response, and hormone secretion. This gene can be upregulated under endoplasmic reticulum stress conditions, and this protein can inhibit cell proliferation and growth in the pancreas and liver. A human INHBE mRNA sequence is GenBank accession number NM_031479.5, included here as SEQ ID NO: 588. A rhesus macaque (Macaca mulata) INHBE mRNA sequence is GenBank accession number XM_028847001.1.
[0038] As used herein, target sequence refers to a contiguous portion of the nucleotide sequence of an mRNA molecule formed during the transcription of an INHBE gene, including mRNA that is a product of RNA processing of a primary transcription product. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 38 / 193 24 / 138
[0039] As used herein, the term strand comprising a sequence refers to an oligonucleotide comprising a strand of nucleotides that is described by the sequence referred to using standard nucleotide nomenclature.
[0040] As used herein, and unless otherwise indicated, the term complementary, when used to describe a first nucleotide sequence in relation to a second nucleotide sequence, refers to the ability of an oligonucleotide or polynucleotide comprising the first nucleotide sequence to hybridize and form a duplex structure under certain conditions with an oligonucleotide or polynucleotide comprising the second nucleotide sequence, as will be understood by those skilled in the art.
[0041] For example, a first nucleotide sequence can be described as complementary to a second nucleotide sequence when the two sequences hybridize (e.g., annealing) under strict hybridization conditions. Hybridization conditions include temperature, ionic strength, pH, and organic solvent concentration for the annealing and / or washing steps. The term strict hybridization conditions refers to the conditions under which a first nucleotide sequence will preferentially hybridize with its target sequence, e.g., a second nucleotide sequence, and to a lesser degree, or not at all, with other sequences. Strict hybridization conditions depend on the sequence and are different under different environmental parameters. Generally, strict hybridization conditions are selected to be about 5°C lower than the thermal melting point (Tm) for the nucleotide sequence at a defined ionic strength and pH.Tm is the temperature (under defined ionic strength and pH) at which 50% of the first nucleotide sequences hybridize with a given sequence. Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 39 / 193 25 / 138 perfectly matching target. A comprehensive guide on nucleic acid hybridization can be found in, for example, Tijssen (1993) Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology—Hybridization with Nucleic Acid Probes Part I, Chapter 2, Overview of Hybridization Principles and Nucleic Acid Probe Assay Strategy, Elsevier, NY (Tijssen).
[0042] Other conditions, such as physiologically relevant conditions that may be found within an organism, may be applied. One skilled in the art will be able to determine the most appropriate set of conditions for a complementarity test of two sequences according to the final application of the hybridized nucleotides.
[0043] This includes base pairing of the oligonucleotide or polynucleotide comprising the first nucleotide sequence with the oligonucleotide or polynucleotide comprising the second nucleotide sequence along the entire length of the first and second nucleotide sequences. Such sequences may be referred to herein as fully complementary to each other. However, when a first sequence is referred to as substantially complementary with respect to a second sequence herein, the two sequences may be fully complementary or may form one or more, but generally no more than 4, 3, or 2 mismatched base pairs after hybridization, while retaining the ability to hybridize under the conditions most relevant to their final application.However, when two oligonucleotides are designed to form, after hybridization, one or more single-stranded overhangs, such overhangs should not be considered incompatibilities with respect to the determination of complementarity. For example, a dsRNA comprising one oligonucleotide of 21 nucleotides in length and another oligonucleotide of 23 nucleotides in length... Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 40 / 193 26 / 138 ment, in which the longer oligonucleotide comprises a sequence of 21 nucleotides that is fully complementary to the shorter oligonucleotide, may also be referred to as fully complementary for the purposes described herein.
[0044] Complementary sequences, as used herein, may also include, or be formed entirely of, non-Watson-Crick base pairs and / or base pairs formed of non-natural and modified nucleotides, provided that the above requirements regarding their ability to hybridize are met. These non-Watson-Crick base pairs include, but are not limited to, G:U Wobble or Hoogsteen base pairs.
[0045] The terms complementary, fully complementary and substantially complementary herein may be used with respect to base matching between the sense strand and the antisense strand of a dsRNA, or between the antisense strand of a dsRNA and a target sequence, as will be understood from the context of their use.
[0046] As used herein, a polynucleotide that is substantially complementary to at least part of a messenger RNA (mRNA) refers to a polynucleotide that is substantially complementary to a contiguous portion of the mRNA of interest (e.g., an INHBE-coding mRNA) including a 5' UTR, an open reading frame (ORF), or a 3' UTR. For example, a polynucleotide is complementary to at least part of an INHBE mRNA if the sequence is substantially complementary to an unbroken portion of an mRNA encoding INHBE.
[0047] In one embodiment, the antisense strand of dsRNA is sufficiently complementary to a target mRNA so as to cause cleavage of the target mRNA.
[0048] The term double-stranded RNA or dsRNA, as used herein, refers to a complex of ribonucleic acid molecules, Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 41 / 193 27 / 138 having a duplex structure comprising two antiparallel and substantially complementary nucleic acid strands, as defined above. In general, most of the nucleotides in each strand are ribonucleotides, but, as described in detail herein, each or both strands may also include at least one non-ribonucleotide, for example, a deoxyribonucleotide and / or a modified nucleotide. Furthermore, as used in this specification, dsRNA may include chemical modifications to ribonucleotides, including substantial modifications to multiple nucleotides and including all types of modifications disclosed herein or known in the art. Any such modifications, as used in an siRNA-type molecule, are encompassed by dsRNA for the purposes of this specification and claims.
[0049] The two strands that form the duplex structure may be different portions of a larger RNA molecule or may be separate RNA molecules. When the two strands are part of a larger molecule and are therefore connected by an uninterrupted strand of nucleotides between the 3' end of one strand and the 5' end of the other strand, forming the duplex structure, the connecting RNA strand is called a hairpin loop. When the two strands are covalently connected by means other than an uninterrupted strand of nucleotides between the 3' end of one strand and the 5' end of the other respective strand forming the duplex structure, the connecting structure is called a linker. The RNA strands may have the same number of nucleotides or different numbers. The maximum number of base pairs is the number of nucleotides in the shorter strand of the dsRNA minus any overhangs present in the duplex. In addition to the duplex structure, a dsRNA may comprise one or more nucleotide overhangs.The term siRNA is also used here to refer to a dsRNA as described above. Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 42 / 193 28 / 138
[0050] As used herein, a nucleotide projection refers to the unpaired nucleotide or nucleotides that project from the duplex structure of a dsRNA when a 3' end of one dsRNA strand extends beyond the 5' end of the other strand, or vice versa. Blunt-ended or blunt-ended means that there are no unpaired nucleotides at that end of the dsRNA, i.e., no excess nucleotides. A blunt-ended dsRNA is a dsRNA that is double-stranded throughout its length, i.e., no excess nucleotides at either end of the molecule.
[0051] The term antisense strand refers to the strand of a dsRNA that includes a region that is substantially complementary to a target sequence. As used herein, the term complementarity region refers to the region in the antisense strand that is substantially complementary to a sequence, for example, a target sequence as defined herein. When the complementarity region is not fully complementary to the target sequence, mismatches are more tolerated in the terminal regions and, if present, are usually in one or more terminal regions, for example, within 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 nucleotides of the 5' and / or 3' terminal.
[0052] The term sense strand, as used herein, refers to the strand of a dsRNA that includes a region that is substantially complementary to a region of the antisense strand.
[0053] Introduction into a cell, when referring to a dsRNA, means facilitating uptake or absorption into the cell, as understood by experts in the field. Uptake or absorption of dsRNA can occur by unassisted diffusion or active cellular processes, or by auxiliary agents or devices. The meaning of this term is not limited to cells in vitro; a dsRNA can also be introduced into a cell where the cell is part of a living organism. In this case, introduction into the cell will include delivery to the organism. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 43 / 193 29 / 138 For example, for in vivo delivery, dsRNA can be injected into a tissue site or administered systemically. In vitro introduction into a cell includes methods known in the art, such as electroporation and lipofection. Other approaches are described herein or known in the art.
[0054] The terms silence, inhibit expression of, negatively regulate expression of, suppress expression of, and similar terms, insofar as they refer to an INHBE gene, herein refers to the at least partial suppression of the expression of an INHBE gene, manifested by a reduction in the amount of mRNA that can be isolated from a first cell or group of cells in which an INHBE gene is transcribed and which has been or is treated in such a way that the expression of an INHBE gene is inhibited, compared with a second cell or group of cells substantially identical to the first cell or group of cells, but which has or has not been treated in this way (control cells). The degree of inhibition is generally expressed in terms of (mRNA in control cells) - (mRNA in treated cells)Q(mRNA in control cells).
[0055] Alternatively, the degree of inhibition can be given in terms of a reduction in a parameter that is functionally linked to INHBE gene expression, for example, the amount of protein encoded by an INHBE gene secreted by a cell, the level of plasma lipids, or the number of cells exhibiting a given phenotype. In principle, INHBE gene silencing can be determined in any cell expressing the target, either constitutively or through genomic engineering, and by any appropriate assay. However, when a reference is needed to determine whether a given dsRNA inhibits the expression of an INHBE gene to a certain degree and is therefore covered by disclosure, the assays provided in the Examples below will serve as such a reference. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 44 / 193 30 / 138
[0056] For example, in certain cases, the expression of an INHBE gene is suppressed by at least about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, or 50% by administration of the double-stranded disclosure oligonucleotide. In some embodiments, an INHBE gene is suppressed by at least about 60%, 70%, or 80% by administration of the double-stranded disclosure oligonucleotide. In some embodiments, an INHBE gene is suppressed by at least about 85%, 90%, or 95% by administration of the double-stranded disclosure.
[0057] As used herein, in the context of INHBE expression, the terms treat, treatment and the like refer to the relief or attenuation of pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression. In the context of this disclosure, to the extent that it relates to any of the other conditions mentioned below (except pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression), the terms treat, treatment and the like mean to relieve or attenuate at least one symptom associated with such condition, or to slow or reverse the progression of such condition.
[0058] As used herein, the term effective amount refers to an amount that provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment, prevention, or management of pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression or evident symptoms of pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression. The specific amount that is effective can be readily determined by a general practitioner and may vary depending on factors known in the art, such as, for example, the type of pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression, the patient's history and age, the stage of the pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression, and the administration of other antipathological agents mediated by INHBE expression. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 45 / 193 31 / 138
[0059] As used herein, a pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmacologically effective amount of a dsRNA and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. As used herein, pharmacologically effective amount, therapeutically effective amount, or simply effective amount refers to the amount of an RNA effective in producing the intended pharmacological, therapeutic, or preventive outcome. For example, if a given clinical treatment is considered effective when there is at least a 25% reduction in a measurable parameter associated with a disease or disorder, a therapeutically effective amount of a drug for the treatment of that disease or disorder is the amount required to effect at least a 25% reduction in that parameter. For example, a therapeutically effective amount of an INHBE that targets dsRNAs may reduce serum INHBE levels by at least 25%.
[0060] The term pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle refers to a vehicle for the administration of a therapeutic agent. Such vehicles include, but are not limited to, saline solution, buffered saline solution, dextrose, water, glycerol, ethanol, and combinations thereof. The term specifically excludes cell culture media. For orally administered medications, pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as inert diluents, disintegrating agents, binding agents, lubricating agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, and preservatives. Suitable inert diluents include sodium and calcium carbonate, sodium and calcium phosphate, and lactose, while corn starch and alginic acid are suitable disintegrating agents.Binding agents may include starch and gelatin, while the lubricating agent, if present, will usually be magnesium stearate, stearic acid, or talc. If desired... Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 46 / 193 32 / 138 jado, the tablets may be coated with a material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate, to delay absorption in the gastrointestinal tract.
[0061] As used here, tri-GalNAc6 refers to the structure: Tri-GalNAc6
[0062] As used here, L96 ligand or L96 refers to the structure: L96 II. Double-Stranded Ribonucleic Acids (dsRNA)
[0063] In one aspect of the disclosure, double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) molecules are provided here to inhibit the expression of an INHBE gene, for example, in a cell within an individual, such as a mammal (e.g., a human). The use of these dsRNA oligonucleotides allows for the targeted degradation of mRNAs of the corresponding gene (INHBE gene) in mammals.
[0064] In certain embodiments, dsRNA comprises an an strand Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 47 / 193 33 / 138 tissue with a complementarity region that is complementary to at least part of an mRNA or mRNA fragment formed in the expression of an INHBE gene. In some embodiments, the dsRNA comprises at least 70% complementarity to the mRNA or mRNA fragment of the human INHBE mRNA.
[0065] In certain embodiments, the dsRNA comprises a sense strand and an antisense strand, each 15 to 30 nucleotides in length, wherein the antisense strand comprises at least 15 contiguous nucleotides of an antisense strand sequence shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

In some embodiments, the antisense strand and the sense strand are at least 80% complementary. In some embodiments, the antisense strand and the sense strand comprise at least one, at least two, at least three, or at least four mismatched nucleotides.
[0072] dsRNA can be synthesized by standard methods known in the art, as discussed later, for example, by using an automated DNA synthesizer, such as those commercially available, for example, from Biosearch, Applied Biosystems, Inc. dsRNA includes two RNA strands that are complementary enough to hybridize and form a duplex structure. One strand of dsRNA (the antisense strand) includes a region of complementarity that is complementary to a target sequence, derived from the sequence of an mRNA formed during the expression of an INHBE gene, the other strand Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 53 / 193 39 / 138 (the sense ribbon) includes a region that is complementary to the antisense ribbon, such that the two ribbons hybridize and form a duplex structure when combined under suitable conditions.
[0073] In some embodiments, the duplex structure is between 15 and 30, or between 25 and 30, or between 18 and 25, or between 19 and 24, or between 19 and 21, or 19, 20, or 21 base pairs long. In one embodiment, the duplex is 19 base pairs long. In another embodiment, the duplex is 20 base pairs long. In yet another embodiment, the duplex is 21 base pairs long. When two different single-stranded RNAs (ssRNAs) are used in combination, the duplex lengths may be identical or different.

In other embodiments, each strand is about 25-30 nucleotides long. In some embodiments, each strand of the duplex has the same length or different lengths. When two different ssRNAs are used in combination, the lengths of each strand of each ssRNA may be identical or may be different.
[0075] In some embodiments, dsRNA includes dsRNA with more than 21-23 nucleotides, for example, dsRNA that is long enough to be processed by the RNase III Dicer enzyme into siRNA of 21-23 base pairs, which is then incorporated into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Consequently, a disclosure dsRNA has at least 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or at least 100 base pairs in length.
[0076] The inhibition of INHBE gene expression can be analyzed, for example, by a nucleic acid-based assay, such as quantitative PCR, or by a protein-based method, such as Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 54 / 193 40 / 138 Western blot. The expression of an INHBE gene can be reduced by at least 50% when measured by an assay as described in the Examples below. For example, the expression of an INHBE gene in cell culture, such as in Huh-7 cells, can be analyzed by measuring INHBE mRNA levels, such as by quantitative PCR assay, or by measuring protein levels, such as by ELISA assay.
[0077] In another aspect, the disclosure provides a single-stranded antisense RNAi oligonucleotide. An antisense oligonucleotide is a single-stranded oligonucleotide that is complementary to a sequence within the target mRNA. Antisense oligonucleotides can inhibit translation stoichiometrically by base-pairing with mRNA and physically obstructing the translation machinery, see Dias, N. et al., (2002) Mol. Cancer Ther. 1:347-355. Antisense oligonucleotides can also inhibit target protein expression by binding to the target mRNA and promoting the destruction of the target mRNA via RNase-H. The single-stranded antisense RNA molecule can be 13 to 30 nucleotides long and have a sequence complementary to the target sequence.For example, a single-stranded antisense RNA molecule may comprise a sequence that has at least about 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, or more contiguous nucleotides from one of the antisense sequences in Table 1 and Table 2, Table 6 and Table 7, or Table 9 and Table 10.

Such moieties include, but are not limited to, lipid moieties, such as a cholesterol moiety (Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acid. Sci. USA, 1989, 86: 6553-6556), cholic acid (Manoharan et al., Biorg. Med. Chem. Let., 1994, 4: 1053-1060), a thioether, e.g., beryl-S-tritylthiol (Manoharan et al., Ann. NY Acad. Sci., 1992, 660: 306-309; Manoharan et al., Biorg. Med. Chem. 1991, 10:1111-1118; Kabanov et al., FEBS Lett., 1990, 259:327-330;, Biochimie, 1993, 75:49-54), a phospholipid, for example, dihexadecyl-rac-glycerol or triethylammonium 1,2-di-O. Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 59 / 193 45 / 138 hexadecyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphonate (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651-3654; Shea et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1990, 18:3777-3783), a polyamine or a polyethylene glycol ribbon (Manoharan et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1995, 14:969-973), or adamantane acetic acid (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651-3654), a palmitic moiety (Mishra et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1995, 1264:229-237), or an octadecylamine moiety or hexylaminocarbonyloxycholesterol (Crooke et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1996, 277:923-937).
[0086] In some embodiments, the linker or targeting moiety (e.g., a GalNAc of the present disclosure, e.g., tri-GalNAc6) is conjugated to the 5' end, 3' end, or both ends of the dsRNA. In some embodiments, the linker or targeting moiety (e.g., a GalNAc of the present disclosure, e.g., tri-GalNAc6) is conjugated to the 3' end of the sense strand of the dsRNA. In some embodiments, the linker or targeting moiety (e.g., a GalNAc of the present disclosure, e.g., tri-GalNAc6) is conjugated to the 3' end of the antisense strand of the modified dsRNA. In some embodiments, the linker or targeting moiety (e.g., a GalNAc of the present disclosure, e.g., tri-GalNAc6) is conjugated to the 5' end of the sense strand of the dsRNA.In some embodiments, the linker or targeting moiety (e.g., a GalNAc of the present disclosure, e.g., tri-GalNAc6) is conjugated to the 5' end of the antisense strand of the modified dsRNA. In some embodiments, the linker or targeting moiety is at least one N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc).
[0087] In some embodiments, dsRNA can be modified by a non-binding group. Several non-binding molecules have been conjugated to dsRNAs to increase activity, cellular distribution or Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 60 / 193 46 / 138 Cellular uptake of dsRNA, and procedures for performing such conjugations are available in the scientific literature. These non-binding portions include lipid portions, such as cholesterol (Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1989, 86:6553), cholic acid (Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1994, 4:1053), a thioether, for example, hexyl-S-tritylthiol (Manoharan et al., Ann. NY Acad. Sci., 1992, 660:306; Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Let., 1993, 3:2765), a thiocholesterol (Oberhauser et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1992, 20:533), an aliphatic band, for example, dodecandiol or undecyl residues. (Saison-Behmoaras et al., EMBO J., 1991, 10:111; Kabanov et al., FEBS Lett., 1990, 259:327; Svinarchuk et al., Biochimie, 1993, 75:49), a phospholipid, for example, dihexadecyl-rac-glycerol or triethylammonium 1,2-di-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycero-3-H-phosphonate (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651; Shea et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1990, 18:3777), a polyamine or a polyethylene glycol ribbon (Manoharan et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1995, 14:969), or adamantane acetic acid (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651), a palmityl moiety (Mishra et al., Biochim. Biophysics. Acta, 1995, 1264:229), or an octadecylamine or hexylaminocarbonyloxycholesterol moiety (Crooke et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1996, 277:923). Typical conjugation protocols involve the synthesis of dsRNAs containing an amino ligand at one or more positions in the oligonucleotide sequence. The amino group then reacts with the molecule to be conjugated using appropriate coupling or activation reagents. The conjugation reaction can be carried out with the dsRNA still bound to the solid support or after cleavage of the dsRNA in the solution phase. The dsRNA conjugate can be purified, for example, by HPLC methods.
[0088] Conjugating a ligand to a dsRNA can increase its cellular uptake as well as its targeting to a specific tissue. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 61 / 193 47 / 138 or uptake by specific cell types, such as liver cells. In certain cases, a hydrophobic ligand is conjugated to dsRNA to facilitate direct permeation of the cell membrane and / or absorption by liver cells. Alternatively, the ligand conjugated to dsRNA is a substrate for receptor-mediated endocytosis. These approaches have been used to facilitate the cellular permeation of antisense oligonucleotides as well as dsRNA agents. For example, cholesterol has been conjugated to various antisense oligonucleotides, resulting in compounds that are substantially more active compared to their unconjugated analogs. See M. Manoharan Antisense & Nucleic Acid Drug Development 2002, 12, 103. Other lipophilic compounds that have been conjugated to oligonucleotides include 1-pyrenebutyric acid, 1,3-bis-O-(hexadecyl)glycerol, and menthol. An example of a ligand for receptor-mediated endocytosis is folic acid.Folic acid enters the cell via folate receptor-mediated endocytosis. Folic acid-containing dsRNA compounds would be efficiently transported into the cell via folate receptor-mediated endocytosis. Li et al. report that binding folic acid to the 3' terminus of an oligonucleotide resulted in an 8-fold increase in cellular uptake of the oligonucleotide. Li, S.; Deshmukh, HM; Huang, L. Pharm. Res. 1998, 15, 1.540. Other ligands that have been conjugated to oligonucleotides include polyethylene glycols, carbohydrate clusters, crosslinking agents, porphyrin conjugates, delivery peptides, and lipids such as cholesterol and cholesterylamine. Examples of carbohydrate clusters include Chol-p-(GalNAc)3 (N-acetylgalactosamine cholesterol) and LCO(GalNAc)3 (N-acetylgalactosamine - 3'-lithocholic-oleoyl). Carbohydrate Conjugates
[0089] In some embodiments, a disseminating dsRNA oligonucleotide also comprises a carbohydrate. The conjugated dsRNA Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 62 / 193 48 / 138 with carbohydrate is advantageous for the in vivo delivery of nucleic acids, as well as compositions suitable for in vivo therapeutic use, as described herein.

In some embodiments, the carbohydrate is at least one N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc). III. Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0092] Pharmaceutical compositions comprising INHBE genes that target dsRNAs for disclosure are also disclosed here.
[0093] In certain embodiments, the disclosure provides pharmaceutical compositions containing a dsRNA, as described herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The pharmaceutical composition containing the dsRNA is useful for treating a disease or disorder associated with the expression or activity of targeting INHBE genes, such as pathological processes mediated by targeting INHBE gene expression. Such pharmaceutical compositions are formulated based on the mode of administration.
[0094] The pharmaceutical compositions presented here are administered in dosages sufficient to inhibit the expression of INHBE genes. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 64 / 193 50 / 138
[0095] Those skilled in the art will recognize that certain factors may influence the dosage and time required to treat an individual effectively, including, but not limited to, the severity of the disease or disorder, prior treatments, the individual’s general health and / or age, and other present illnesses. Furthermore, treatment of an individual with a therapeutically effective amount of a composition may involve a single treatment or a series of treatments. Estimates of effective dosages and in vivo half-lives for the individual dsRNAs covered by the disclosure may be made using conventional methodologies or based on in vivo testing using an appropriate animal model, as described elsewhere in this document.
[0096] Advances in mouse genetics have generated a number of mouse models for the study of various human diseases, such as pathological processes mediated by INHBE expression. Such models are used for in vivo testing of dsRNA, as well as to determine a therapeutically effective dose. A suitable mouse model is, for example, a mouse containing a plasmid that expresses human INHBE. Another suitable mouse model is a transgenic mouse carrying a transgene that expresses human INHBE.
[0097] Data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosages for human use. The dosage of the compositions presented in the disclosure is generally within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending on the dosage form employed and the route of administration used. For any compound used in the methods presented in the disclosure, the therapeutically effective dose can be initially estimated from cell culture assays. A dose can be formulated Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 65 / 193 51 / 138 in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range of the compound or, where appropriate, the polypeptide product of a target sequence (e.g., achieving a reduced concentration of the polypeptide) that includes the IC50 (i.e., the concentration of the test compound that achieves a half-maximum inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture. This information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Plasma levels can be measured, for example, by high-performance liquid chromatography.
[0098] The dsRNAs presented in this disclosure can be administered in combination with other agents known to be effective in treating pathological processes mediated by INHBE gene expression. In any case, the attending physician may adjust the amount and timing of dsRNA administration based on observed results using standard efficacy measures known in the art or described herein.

[00110] Pharmaceutical formulations, for example, are sterile. Sterilization can be carried out, for example, by filtration through sterile filtration membranes. When the composition is lyophilized, sterilization by filtration can be conducted before or after lyophilization and reconstitution.
[00111] In certain modalities, dsRNA is administered in a way that targets a specific tissue, for example, the liver.
[00112] The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending on the host being treated and the specific mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be the amount of the compound (e.g., dsRNA molecule) that produces a therapeutic effect.
[00113] In certain embodiments, a formulation of the present disclosure comprises an excipient selected from the group consisting of cyclodextrins, celluloses, liposomes, micelle-forming agents, for example, bile acids, and polymeric carriers, for example, polyesters and polyanhydrides; and a compound (for example, a dsRNA molecule) of the present disclosure. In certain embodiments, a formulation mentioned above makes a compound (for example, a dsRNA molecule) of the present disclosure orally bioavailable.

[00116] In one aspect, the disclosure provides a method for inhibiting the expression of an INHBE gene in a cell. The method comprises delivering a dsRNA targeted to an INHBE gene into a cell so that the expression of the target INHBE gene in the cell is reduced. The disclosure includes methods performed on cells in vitro or in vivo. In some embodiments, the method is performed on an animal cell, for example, a mouse, a rat, a non-human primate, or a human.
[00117] This disclosure also provides methods for using a dsRNA from the disclosure and / or a composition containing a dsRNA from this disclosure to reduce and / or inhibit INHBE expression in a cell. The methods include contacting the cell with a dsRNA from the disclosure and maintaining the cell for a sufficient time to achieve degradation of the mRNA transcript of an INHBE gene, thereby inhibiting INHBE gene expression in the cell. The reduction in gene expression can be assessed by any co- Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 71 / 193 57 / 138 known in the art. For example, a reduction in INHBE expression can be determined by determining the mRNA expression level of INHBE using routine methods for a specialist in the field, for example, Northern blotting, qRT-PCR, determining the protein level of INHBE using routine methods for a specialist in the field, such as Western blotting, immunological techniques and / or determining a biological activity of INHBE, such as affecting one or more molecules associated with the cellular blood coagulation mechanism (or in an in vivo setting, blood coagulation itself).
[00118] In the methods of dissemination, the cell can be contacted in vitro or in vivo, that is, the cell can be inside an individual.
[00119] A cell suitable for treatment using the disclosure methods can be any cell that expresses an INHBE gene. A cell suitable for use in the disclosure methods can be a mammalian cell, for example, a primate cell (such as a human cell or a non-human primate cell, for example, a monkey cell or a chimpanzee cell), a non-primate cell (such as a cow cell, a pig cell, a camel cell, a llama cell, a horse cell, a goat cell, a rabbit cell, a sheep cell, a hamster cell, a guinea pig cell, a cat cell, a dog cell, a rat cell, a mouse cell, a lion cell, a tiger cell, a bear cell, or a buffalo cell), a bird cell (for example, a duck cell or a goose cell), or a whale cell. In one embodiment, the cell is a human cell, for example, a human liver cell.
[00120] In some embodiments, INHBE expression is inhibited by at least 30% compared to a control after administration of the disseminating dsRNA oligonucleotide.
[00121] In some modalities, a treatment method of a Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 72 / 193 58 / 138 INHBE-mediated disorder is provided, comprising administering to an individual in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a dsRNA oligonucleotide or a pharmaceutical disclosure composition.
[00122] In some modalities, the disorder is a cardiovascular disorder. In some modalities, the disorder is a cardiovascular disease. EXAMPLES
[00123] The following examples are provided for the purpose of illustrating various embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure in any way. The examples presented, together with the methods described herein, are currently representative of preferred embodiments, are exemplary, and are not intended to be limitations on the scope of the disclosure. Changes herein and other uses that are covered by the spirit of the disclosure, as defined by the scope of the claims, will occur to those skilled in the art. Example 1. Screening for in vitro RNA interference (RNAi) in the Huh-7 cell line.
[00124] This example describes a screening for siRNA-based inhibition of the INHBE gene in a hepatocyte-derived cellular carcinoma (Huh-7) cell model. Briefly, Huh-7 cells were transfected with 147 3'-GalNAc-conjugated and modified siRNAs (Duplexes 100488 - 100634, SEQ ID NOs: 294 - 440, sense strand; and SEQ ID NOs: 441- 587, antisense strand) at 10 nM and 0.1 nM. The sequences of exemplary, unmodified, and modified siRNA compounds are shown in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. Compounds in Table 2 were 3'-GalNAc modified. INHBE mRNA levels were measured by quantitative PCR and normalized for GAPDH relative to treated control cells. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, page 73 / 193 59 / 138 simulated. Table 3 and FIG. 1A, B and C show the results of single-dose screenings at 10 nM and 0.1 nM in Huh7 cells using the selected INHBE siRNAs. Data are presented as percentage of INHBE mRNA inhibition in siRNA-transfected cells relative to INHBE mRNA in sham-treated control cells. Table 1.

[00127] Thirteen exemplary siRNA compounds (Compounds 100635100647) were tested for knockdown of human INHBE in a hydrodynamic mouse model injected with a DNA plasmid encoding the full-length human INHBE transcript. Briefly, 6–7 week old female BALB / c mice were subcutaneously injected with INHBE siRNA compounds from Table 6 at 1 mg / kg. Three days after injection, the mice were hydrodynamically injected with a DNA plasmid encoding the full-length human INHBE transcript. One day after plasmid injection, liver samples were collected and analyzed for INHBE mRNA expression relative to mice treated with the same volume of PBS. INHBE mRNA levels were measured by quantitative PCR and normalized to the NEO gene included in the plasmid used to express INHBE. The data are presented as relative gene expression of INHBE mRNA in the liver in relation to animals treated with PBS.
[00128] The modified and unmodified sense and antisense strand sequences of compounds 100329-100341 are summarized in Tables 6-7. Petition 870250080602, dated 09 / 08 / 2025, p. 104 / 193 90 / 138
[00129] Table 8 and FIG. 4 show the results of single-dose INHBE siRNA injection in INHBE BALB / c mice. The results show that siRNA compounds 100635, 100638, 100639, 100642, 100643, 100644, 100645, and 100646 reduce INHBE expression by more than 80%. Furthermore, compounds 100635–100646 showed improved potency compared to siRNA compound 100647. Table 6.

Evaluation of INHBE knockdown with siRNAs in an in vivo non-human primate model.
[00133] Two exemplary siRNA compounds, referred to here as Compound A and Compound B, were selected from among those with Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, pages 112 / 193 98 / 138 posts listed in Table 6 and Table 9 were tested for INHBE knockdown in a non-human primate model. Briefly, male cynomolgus monkeys aged 3 to 8 years were injected subcutaneously with one of the following: INHBE A or B siRNA compounds at 5 mg / kg (n=2-3 monkeys per compound tested). The animals underwent clinical observation twice daily after injection. Liver biopsies were obtained 4 days before injection and 56 days after injection. Liver INHBE mRNA levels were measured by quantitative PCR at a normalized level to day 4 for each individual animal.
[00134] FIGS. 6 show the results of single-dose INHBE siRNA injection in cynomolgus monkeys. The results show that 69% knockdown (Compound A) and 75% knockdown (Compound B) were observed in animals on day 56 after injection (FIG. 6). Example 7. In vitro activity and dose-response screening in hTLR7, hTLR8, and hTLR9 cells.
[00135] This example evaluates the agonist activity of compounds in the cell-based human Toll-like receptor (hTLR) reporter assay. Exemplary siRNA compounds 100647, 100635, 100638, 100639, 100642, 100643, and 10064 were tested using commercial cell-based hTLR7, hTLR8, and hTLR9 reporter assays. Briefly, the assays were performed using a 4-fold dilution of 100 nM at 9 concentrations per transfection of HEK-293 cells in duplicate and with a treatment duration of 24 hours. R848 was purchased from a commercial supplier and used as an agonist for the hTLR7 and hTLR8 reporter assays. ODN 2006 was purchased from a commercial supplier and used as an agonist for the hTRL9 reporter assays.

Transcriptome analysis of RNA sequence in primary human hepatocytes.
[00137] This example evaluates the RNA sequence transcriptome in primary human hepatocytes to assess the potential risk of target deviation of exemplary siRNA compounds 100647, 100635, 100638, 100639, 100642, 100643, and 100645. Briefly, primary human hepatocyte (PHH) cells were collected after 48 hours of treatment with exemplary siRNA compounds for RNA extractions, library construction, and sequencing.
[00138] FIG. 8 shows the results of the transcriptome analysis. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, pages 114 / 193 100 / 138 of the RNA sequence in primary human hepatocytes treated with exemplary siRNA compounds. The data are presented as a volcano plot of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different groups and show that INHBE is significantly downregulated in all groups. Of all the exemplary siRNA compounds tested, compound 100639 returned the cleanest RNAseq result. Example 9. Non-GLP minitoxicology study of selected siRNAs in an in vivo mouse model.
[00139] The exemplary siRNA compounds 100635, 100642, and 100643 were evaluated using a non-GLP mini toxicology study in mice. Briefly, 7-week-old male C57BL / 6J mice (5 per group) were subcutaneously injected with a single dose of 50 mg / kg of one of the siRNA compounds 100635, 100642, and 100643 (i.e., on day 0).
[00140] Blood was collected on day 0 (pre-dosage) and on day 7. Tissues (liver and kidney) were collected on day 7 after completion.
[00141] Urine and blood samples collected on day 0 (pre-dosage) were handled as follows. Plasma was flash-frozen on dry ice after collection, stored at -80 degrees, and transferred for biochemical analysis. Urine was stored at 4 degrees or -80 degrees Celsius until transferred for biochemical analysis.
[00142] Urine, blood, liver, and kidney samples collected on day 7 were handled as follows. Plasma: rapidly frozen on dry ice after collection, stored at -80 degrees, and transferred for biochemical analysis. Plasma was stored on ice until transferred for coagulation assays.
[00143] The liver and kidney were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde until they were transferred for histopathological evaluation. Petition 870250080602, dated 08 / 09 / 2025, pages 115 / 193 101 / 138
[00144] FIG. 9 and Table 12 show the results of injecting C57BL / 6J mice with a single dose of 50 mg / kg of one of the 100635, 100642 or 100643 siRNA compounds.
[00145] FIG. 9 shows the results of biochemical tests of mice over 7 days after dosing. Compared with the results of the PBS control group, no significant difference was observed in the mean plasma concentration of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triglycerides (TRIG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), creatinine (CREZ), cholesterol (CHOL), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in mice in the test compound groups. The mean plasma urea concentration of mice in the 100635 group was significantly higher than that of mice in the PBS group on day 7. Compared to the results of the PBS control group, no significant difference was observed in the mean concentration of urinary urea (UREA), total urinary microprotein (UP), and creatinine (CREZ) of mice in the test compound groups.
[00146] Table 12 shows the results of the liver and kidney pathology study over 7 days after administration. The study results do not indicate significant lesions (damage) in the experimental subjects. The changes observed in the PBS group may be due to background lesions.
