SHTG Digest — Friday May 22, 2026

A landmark ACC/AHA dyslipidemia guideline dropped this week alongside a pivotal Circulation imaging trial showing olezarsen's dramatic triglyceride reduction does not translate into coronary plaque regression — a sobering finding that reframes what APOC3 inhibition can and cannot achieve at 12 months; on the industry side, the two biggest near-term catalysts remain Ionis' June 30 PDUFA date for olezarsen in sHTG and Arrowhead's expected EU approval of REDEMPLO, both just outside this cycle's lookback window but essential context.

A landmark Circulation imaging trial shows olezarsen dramatically lowers triglycerides but does not shrink coronary plaque, while two new meta-analyses confirm robust TG and pancreatitis benefits across the ApoC-III inhibitor class, and on the industry side both Arrowhead and Ionis are sprinting toward a mid-2026 collision in the sHTG market.

A quiet top-tier journal week — no NEJM/Lancet/JAMA hits, but the next tier delivered three substantial APOC3-inhibitor meta-analyses (olezarsen, plozasiran, and the full ApoC-III class) all landing the same message: large triglyceride drops and a dramatic ~80% cut in acute pancreatitis risk, plus a new HNF4A–SPP2–LPL axis that could expand the SHTG target list; the industry side was equally subdued, dominated by Madrigal's $1B-biobucks pickup of an Arrowhead RNAi MASH asset and the run-up to Ionis' Tryngolza sHTG PDUFA at the end of June.

A thin top-tier journal week pushed Part A to the next-best tier, where ApoC-III inhibitors keep stacking up favorable meta-analytic evidence and a new HNF4A–SPP2–LPL axis hints at fresh small-molecule entry points; the industry side is also quiet — the dominant story over the past seven days remains the run-up to the late-June Tryngolza sHTG PDUFA, with no major company-specific lipid news from the allowed outlets.

SHTG Digest — Saturday May 9, 2026

No top-tier journal acromegaly-style hits this cycle, but the broader lipid literature delivered two useful APOC3-inhibitor / olezarsen meta-analyses and a timely RNAi-for-lipid-disorders review; Part B was a quiet news week for Arrowhead, Alnylam, and Ionis specifically, with the Tryngolza severe-hypertriglyceridemia FDA decision (due by June 30) the dominant near-term catalyst.
