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.

We presented new results from the ongoing Phase 2 open-label extension (OLE) study of lumasiran, an investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting glycolate oxidase (GO) for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) at the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) 2019 Annual Meeting held on April 13-16 in Melbourne, Australia.
