Kylo-11 for Health & Longevity - Quick Reference Sheet

Kylo-11 for Health & Longevity

Created on 08/30/2026 – Quick Reference based on Evidence Review created using AI4L / Grok 4.5 Audit

Kylo-11 is an experimental yearly injection that turns down liver production of a genetically set particle tied to artery disease and aortic valve thickening. 225 mg or higher kept levels far below baseline for about a year in healthy young adults, with no drug-related unwanted effects. Heart attacks or healthy lifespan not yet shown. Research studies only. (Full Review)

Protocol

Status
No approved protocol
No approved or consensus practitioner protocol exists; only completed human regimen is the phase 1 single-ascending-dose study
Hygieia yearly construct
Single subcutaneous dose
225 mg held ~96% Lp(a) reduction to 48 weeks as a once-a-year approach; company claim, not a labeled schedule
Pre-existing disease
Clinical ASCVD plus high Lp(a)
Phase 2 is built for clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease plus high Lp(a), not for primary prevention or unselected longevity use
Time to effect
Time to effect
1–2 months
Class lipoprotein(a) gene-silencing drugs lower Lp(a) over weeks, with a lowest point after about 1–2 months
Time to effect
48-week durability
Published 48-week figures describe durability after the fall, not an overnight change
Half-life versus effect
Unpublished for Kylo-11
Class liver-targeted RNA drugs leave the blood within about 48 hours while the liver effect lasts months; a numerical human half-life is unpublished

Benefits

Contraindications
  • Other LPA silencers (pelacarsen, olpasiran, lepodisiran, zerlasiran)
  • Not approved for clinical use; available only inside supervised research studies
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Children and adolescents
  • NYHA Class III or IV heart failure, or last known left-ventricular ejection fraction below 30%
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic ≥160 mmHg or diastolic ≥100 mmHg)
  • Active malignancy within 5 years, aside from the limited exceptions listed in phase 2
Key Interactions
  • Oral Lp(a) assembly blockers (muvalaplin)
  • PCSK9 inhibitors (evolocumab, alirocumab, inclisiran)
  • Statins (atorvastatin, rosuvastatin) and ezetimibe
  • Niacin (prescription or high-dose supplement)
  • Hepatotoxic over-the-counter agents (high-dose acetaminophen, some kava products)
  • Anticoagulants and antiplatelets (warfarin, apixaban, aspirin)
  • Hormone therapy (oral estrogen)

Risk & Side Effects

  • High:
  • Medium:
  • Low: Laboratory abnormalities of uncertain relatedness
  • Speculative: Type 2 diabetes; Off-target RNA interference or delayed organ injury; Impaired clot breakdown or wound sealing

Monitoring

Marker Target Why
Lp(a) <75 nmol/L; many longevity clinics aim still lower Confirms lowering and durability
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) <60–80 mg/dL Tracks residual plaque-forming particles after Lp(a) falls
LDL-C <70 mg/dL (<55 mg/dL if very high risk) Background cholesterol risk still matters
ALT / AST ALT <25 U/L (women) or <33 U/L (men) Liver-cell delivery of the drug
Creatine kinase (CK) Change from personal baseline; conventional ~30–200 U/L Caught the phase 1 grade 3 signal
HbA1c <5.4% Theoretical diabetes question at very low Lp(a)
Fasting glucose 70–90 mg/dL Same metabolic watch item
eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m² Baseline kidney status in older adults
hs-CRP <0.5–1.0 mg/L Residual inflammatory context

Cadence: A draw at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 26 weeks, and 12 months, then yearly if dosing continues, matching phase 2 windows of weeks 8–26 and 38–52; liver enzymes and CK on those visits

Qualitative Assessment

  • Injection-site pain, redness, or induration (a firm bump under the skin) in the days after dosing
  • Unusual bruising or delayed wound sealing
  • Muscle soreness out of proportion to training, as a CK clue
  • Energy, exercise recovery, and cognitive clarity as nonspecific watch items, not validated Kylo-11 endpoints
  • Adherence to the next yearly visit rather than a daily oral-medication routine
