The present invention provides compositions and methods for inhibiting thrombosis in subjects at risk of thrombosis, such as those with a genetic, acquired, or environmental risk of thrombosis. [Solution] The present invention provides RNAi agents, such as double-stranded RNAi agents, that target kallikrein B, plasma (Fletcher factor) 1 (KLKB1) gene, factor XII (Hageman factor (F12) gene, or kininogen 1 (KNG1) gene, as well as methods for inhibiting the expression of the KLKB1 gene, F12 gene, and / or KNG1 gene using such RNAi agents, and methods for treating subjects with hereditary angioedema (HAE) and / or contact activation pathway-related disorders.

The present invention relates to RNAi agents, e.g., double stranded RNAi agents, targeting the Kallikrein B, Plasma (Fletcher Factor) 1 (KLKB1) gene, the Factor XII (Hageman Factor (F12) gene, or the Kininogen 1 (KNG1) gene, and methods of using such RNAi agents to inhibit expression of a KLKB1 gene, an F12 gene, and / or a KNG1 gene, and methods of treating subjects having an hereditary angioedema (HAE) and / or a contact activation pathway-associated disorder.

This invention provides methods for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including ARDS associated with respiratory viral infections. [Solution] Administer plasma kallikrein (pKal) inhibitors such as anti-pKal antibodies as inhibitors of the contact activation pathway. Immunomodulators such as IL-6R inhibitors, antiviral agents such as lopinavir, ritonavir, interferon beta, umfenovir, and remdesivir, antimalarial agents such as chloroquine, and / or inhibitors of the contact activation pathway such as C1 inhibitors, pKal inhibitors, and bradykinin receptor antagonists may be administered to the patient as additional therapeutic agents.
