-
Paragraph 0240; 0400; 0446; 0448, (2020/07/25)
The present disclosure relates to RNAi agents, for example, double stranded RNAi agents, able to inhibit HIF-2 alpha ( EPAS1 ) gene expression. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions that include HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents and methods of use thereof. The HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents disclosed herein may be linked or conjugated to targeting ligands (such as compounds that have affinity for integrins, including alpha-v-beta-3 and alpha-v-beta-5 integrins) and pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancers, to facilitate the delivery to cells and tissues, including to clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) cells and tumors. Delivery of compositions comprising the HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents in vivo provides for inhibition of HIF-2 alpha gene expression. The HIF-2 alpha RNAi agents can be used in methods of treatment of various diseases and disorders, including ccRCC.
