Patent number: 10519446Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions comprising a HBV RNAi agent. In some embodiments, the HBV RNAi agent comprises a sense and an anti-sense strand, each strand being an 18-mer and the strands together forming a blunt-ended duplex, wherein the 3? end of at least one strand terminates in a phosphate or modified internucleoside linker and further comprises, in 5? to 3? order: a spacer; a second phosphate or modified internucleoside linker; and a 3? end cap. In some embodiments, the 3? end of both the sense and anti-sense strand further comprise, in 5? to 3? order: a spacer; a second phosphate or modified internucleoside linker; and a 3? end cap. The two strands can have the same or different spacers, phosphates or modified internucleoside linkers, and/or 3? end caps. The strands can be ribonucleotides, or, optionally, one or more nucleotide can be modified or substituted. Optionally, at least one nucleotide comprises a modified internucleoside linker.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: NOVARTIS AGInventors: Jeremy Lee Baryza, Marcel Blommers, Cesar Fernandez, Erin Geno, Alvar Gossert, Paulette Greenidge, Dieter Huesken, Juerg Hunziker, Francois Jean-Charles Natt, Anup Patnaik, Andrew Patterson, Jean-Michel Rene Rondeau, Jan Weiler, Meicheng Zhu, Meghan Holdorf
