Tonlamarsen decreases blood pressure in clinical trials.
“Recent translational advances, including RNA-based therapeutics such as small interfering RNAs (zilebesiran) and antisense oligonucleotides (tonlamarsen), demonstrate promising blood pressure reductions and favorable safety profiles in clinical trials.”
