11 Apr, 2021 New Results for ALN-AGT at the ESH-ISH 2021 Joint Meeting

Positive results from the ongoing Phase 1 study of ALN-AGT, an investigational RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of hypertension, were presented during the 2021 Joint Meeting of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH). ALN-AGT treatment was associated with dose-dependent knockdown of angiotensinogen (AGT) and reductions in blood pressure (BP), with a durability that supports the potential for a once quarterly or biannual dosing regimen.

10 Apr, 2021 New Analyses of OXLUMO® (lumasiran) ILLUMINATE-A Results at the National Kidney Foundation Virtual Spring Clinical Meetings

During the National Kidney Foundation Virtual Spring Clinical Meetings, we presented post hoc subgroup analyses from the ongoing ILLUMINATE-A Phase 3 study of OXLUMO^® (lumasiran) in patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1, showing a lowering of 24-hour urinary oxalate (UOx) regardless of crystallization inhibitor use, hydration status, and genotype. The reduction in 24-hour UOx was sustained through Month 12.

Saland, et al. “Lumasiran lowered urinary oxalate in patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 irrespective of pyridoxine use, hydration status, and genotype in the Phase 3 clinical trial ILLUMINATE-A.”

Habtemariam, et al. “24hr and random spot urine collections were comparable in assessing oxalate excretion and response to treatment in primary hyperoxaluria type 1.”

19 Jan, 2021 New Biomarker Research for Hereditary Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis Published in “Neurology”

We published new research describing neurofilament light chain (NfL) as a biomarker of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis in Neurology. Findings from the observational, case-controlled study which compared proteomes of patients with hATTR amyloidosis and healthy controls suggest NfL levels may serve as a biomarker of nerve damage and polyneuropathy in hATTR amyloidosis enable earlier diagnosis of patients and facilitate monitoring of disease progression.
