About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Silence Therapeutics Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase 1 Multiple Dose Study of Zerlasiran in Subjects with High Lipoprotein(a) and Stable Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

By: Silence Therapeutics plc via Business Wire

November 01, 2023 at 07:00 AM EDT

Zerlasiran showed very significant and durable reductions in lipoprotein(a) of up to 99%

Lp(a) levels remained around 90% lower than baseline at study endpoint

Silence Therapeutics plc, Nasdaq: SLN (“Silence” or the “Company”), an experienced and innovative biotechnology company committed to transforming people’s lives by silencing diseases through precision engineered medicines, today announced positive topline results from the multiple dose component of the APOLLO phase 1 study of zerlasiran (formerly SLN360) in 36 adults with baseline lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), levels at or over 150 nmol/L and stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Zerlasiran is a siRNA (short interfering RNA) designed to lower the body’s production of Lp(a), a key genetic risk factor for cardiovascular disease affecting approximately 20% of the world’s population.

In the double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period, zerlasiran (200 mg, 300 mg and 450 mg) was administered twice subcutaneously at two different dosing intervals to ASCVD patients. These data demonstrated a significant reduction from baseline in Lp(a) of up to 99% at 90 days following injection of repeated doses. Lp(a) levels remained approximately 90% lower than baseline at 201 days (end of treatment period) at the two highest doses. A dose dependent reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB) was also observed. Zerlasiran was well tolerated; no clinically important safety concerns were identified.

“We are extremely pleased to see the excellent results we saw in healthy volunteers translate to our target population,” said Craig Tooman, President and CEO of Silence. “Zerlasiran delivered essentially complete Lp(a) knockdown on repeated dosing with greater durability than seen with single doses. The safety profile also continues to be very well suited for chronic use in a very large global population. We look forward to building on this dataset with the ongoing phase 2 study expected to readout in the first half of next year.”

Silence plans to present further results from the APOLLO multiple dose study at a future cardiovascular medicines conference.

Results from the single ascending dose portion of the APOLLO study were simultaneously presented in a late breaker at the 2022 American College of Cardiology (ACC) Annual Meeting and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), available here.

Zerlasiran is currently being evaluated in the fully enrolled ALPACAR-360 phase 2 study in patients with Lp(a) levels at or over 125 nmol/L at high risk of ASCVD events. Silence expects to report topline 36-week data in the first quarter of 2024 and topline 48-week data in the second quarter of 2024.

About Silence Therapeutics

Silence Therapeutics is developing a new generation of medicines by harnessing the body's natural mechanism of RNA interference, or RNAi, to inhibit the expression of specific target genes thought to play a role in the pathology of diseases with significant unmet need. Silence's proprietary mRNAi GOLD™ platform can be used to create siRNAs (short interfering RNAs) that precisely target and silence disease-associated genes in the liver, which represents a substantial opportunity. Silence's wholly owned product candidates include zerlasiran designed to address the high and prevalent unmet medical need in reducing cardiovascular risk in people born with high levels of lipoprotein(a) and SLN124 designed to address hematological diseases. Silence also maintains ongoing research and development collaborations with AstraZeneca, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, and Hansoh Pharma, among others.
