Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides (oligomers) that are complementary to HTRA1, leading to modulation of the expression of HTRA1. Modulation of HTRA1 expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, such as macular degeneration, e.g. age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules that are complementary to both PAP associated domain containing 5 (PAPD5) and PAP associated domain containing 7 (PAPD7), leading to inhibition of the expression of both PAPD5 and PAPD7 when using a single nucleic acid molecule. The invention also provides for PAPD5 and PAPD7 specific nucleic acid molecules for use in treating and/or preventing a HBV infection, in particular a chronic HBV infection. Also comprised in the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a HBV infection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of reducing expression of PD-L1 in a target cell. The oligonucleotides hybridize to PD-L1 mRNA. The present invention further relates to conjugates of the oligonucleotide and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of viral liver infections such as HBV, HCV and HDV; parasite infections such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis or liver cancer or metastases in the liver using the oligonucleotide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oligomer conjugate for use in the treatment of a viral disorder. The oligomer conjugate comprises: a) an oligomer capable of modulating a target sequence in HBx and/or HBsAg of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) to treat said viral disorder; and b) a carrier component capable of delivering the oligomer to the liver which is linked, preferably conjugated, to the oligomer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identifying a compound that prevents, ameliorates and/or inhibits a hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, wherein a compound that reduces the expression and/or activity of PAP associated domain containing 5 (PAPD5) and/or PAP associated domain containing 7 (PAPD7) is identified as a compound that prevents, ameliorates and/or inhibits a HBV infection. The invention also provides for inhibitors of PAPD5 or PAPD7 for use in treating and/or preventing a HBV infection; as well as a combined preparation comprising an inhibitor of PAPD5 and an inhibitor of PAPD7 for simultaneous or sequential use in the treatment or prevention of a HBV infection. Also comprised in the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a HBV infection, and a method for monitoring the therapeutic success during the treatment of a HBV infection.
