The present disclosure relates to RNAi agents able to inhibit
Complement Factor B (CFB)
gene expression. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions that include CFB RNAi agents and methods of use thereof. The CFB RNAi agents disclosed herein may be conjugated to
targeting ligands, including ligands that comprise N-acetyl-
galactosamine, to facilitate the
in vivo delivery to
hepatocyte cells. The RNAi agents can be used in methods of treatment of diseases, disorders, or symptoms mediated in part by CFB
gene expression, including IgA
nephropathy (IgAN), C3 glomerulopathy (C3G),
immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative
glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN),
lupus nephritis (LN), Anti-Glomerular
Basement Membrane
disease (anti-GBM),
ischemia reperfusion injury and T-
cell mediated rejection (TCMR) in
kidney transplantation, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic
antibody (ANCA)-associated
vasculitis, age-related
macular degeneration (AMD), including early and / or intermediate AMD,
geographic atrophy (GA),
glaucoma, Doyne
honeycomb retinal dystrophy, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), pre-
eclampsia,
rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and / or other complement-mediated diseases.
