Capella—the Online Voice of Progress in RNAi

Welcome to Capella, Alnylam’s destination for updates on our work translating the breakthrough discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) into an innovative new class of medicines. We’ve been pioneering RNAi therapeutics since 2002 and are excited to share our ongoing scientific progress.

The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published pivotal results from the ENVISION Phase 3 study of givosiran, our RNAi therapeutic targeting aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 for the treatment of acute hepatic porphyria, in a manuscript titled “Phase 3 Trial of RNAi Therapeutic Givosiran for Acute Intermittent Porphyria.”

We presented new long-term results from the global Open-Label Extension (OLE) study of ONPATTRO® (patisiran) at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Virtual Congress, held May 23-26, 2020. In addition, results were presented from a Phase 3b trial evaluating treatment with patisiran in patients with hATTR amyloidosis with disease progression after receiving an orthotopic liver transplant (post-OLT). A post-hoc analysis of the ENVISION Phase 3 study of GIVLAARI® (givosiran) was also presented.

An abstract describing new 12-month interim data from the ongoing ENVISION open-label extension (OLE) study of givosiran in patients with acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) has been published online by the European Association for the Society of the Liver (EASL) on the International Liver Congress™ (ILC 2020) website.  The data will be presented during the ILC 2020 (London, UK) which was rescheduled to August 25-28, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
