Mechanism of action

Del-desiran is designed to selectively deliver antisense oligonucleotides to target tissues using Avidity's AOC (Antisense Oligonucleotide Conjugate) platform. The conjugate binds to a tissue-specific receptor to facilitate cellular uptake and subsequent knockdown of the target gene expression, reducing production of the pathogenic protein.
