15 Jul, 2026 Alnylam Showcases Progress with Neuroscience Programs at Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2026
Presentations highlight advances across Alnylam’s growing neuroscience portfolio and underscore the potential of RNAi therapeutics to address the needs of patients with debilitating neurological diseases. Presentations include the design and rationale of the global Phase 2 APPlauDS study of mivelsiran in people with Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer’s disease (DS-AD); updated Phase 1 data on mivelsiran in patients with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, showing no evidence of increased risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA); and the design of an ongoing first-in-human Phase 1 study of ALN-5288—an investigational tau-lowering RNAi therapeutic being developed in collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals—and supporting preclinical data.
