Ionis announced that the EMA's CHMP has adopted a positive opinion recommending TRYNGOLZA (olezarsen) as an adjunct to diet, with other lipid-lowering therapies, for adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia in the EU. The recommendation came ahead of the previously anticipated timeline; if confirmed by the European Commission, TRYNGOLZA would be the first and only RNA-targeted therapy authorized in the EU for sHTG with triglycerides >=880 mg/dL, with a final EC decision expected in Q4 2026.
