Abstract

RNA interference (RNAi) agents and RNAi agent conjugates for inhibiting the expression of the LPA (apo(a)) gene are described. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more LPA RNAi agents optionally with one or more additional therapeutics are also described. Delivery of the described LPA RNAi agents to liver cells in vivo provides for inhibition of LPA gene expression and treatment of cardiovascular and cardiovascular-related diseases.
