Abstract: A fully human antibody or antigen-binding fragment of a human antibody that specifically binds and inhibits or interferes with at least one activity of human angiopoietin-like protein 3 (hANGPTL3) is provided. The human anti-hANGPTL3 antibodies are useful in treating diseases or disorders associated with ANGPTL3, such as hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia and dyslipidemia, including hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, chylomicronemia, and so forth. Furthermore, the anti-hANGPTL3 antibodies can be administered to a subject in need thereof to prevent or treat diseases or disorders, for which abnormal lipid metabolism is a risk factor. Such diseases or disorders include cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and coronary artery diseases; acute pancreatitis; nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); diabetes; obesity; and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that bind to ANGPTL8 and methods of using the same. According to certain embodiments, the invention includes methods of using anti-ANGPTL8 antibodies that bind human ANGPTL8 with high affinity to treat obesity, reduce body fat, reduce body weight, increase energy expenditure, and increase HDL-C, in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for inhibiting atherosclerotic plaque formation in a subject. In certain embodiments, the methods of the present invention comprise selecting a subject who has, or is at risk of developing, atherosclerosis, and administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor. In certain embodiments, this PCSK9 inhibitor is an anti-PCSK9 antibody, or antigen binding protein.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for treating patients suffering from hyperlipidaemia, wherein the patient is non-responsive to, inadequately controlled by, or intolerant to treatment with a standard lipid modifying therapy. The methods of the invention provide for lowering at least one lipid parameter in the patient by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) in combination with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that specifically binds to angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3).
