Description: ARWR Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARWR) is a U.S.-based, clinical-stage biotechnology company that develops RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics aimed at silencing disease-associated genes, primarily targeting intractable metabolic, cardiovascular, and liver-related conditions. Its pipeline is led by two Phase 3 assets - plozasiran (targeting apolipoprotein C-III) and zodasiran (targeting angiopoietin-like protein 3) - with several earlier-stage candidates in Phase 1/2a development, including programs against INHBE, ACVR1C, RAGE, MAPT, C3, and CFB. The companys business model is typical of pre-commercial RNAi developers, generating revenue primarily through collaboration and license agreements with large pharmaceutical partners, including GSK, Takeda, Amgen, and Sarepta Therapeutics. Founded in 2003, Arrowhead is headquartered in Pasadena, California, and operates within the biotechnology sub-industry of the broader health care sector.
