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.

New 24-month results from the ILLUMINATE-C Phase 3 study of lumasiran in patients with advanced primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) were presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2023 Meeting. Additional findings from a retrospective study of the natural history of advanced PH1 were also presented.

New 24-month results from an interim analysis of the open-label extension period of the APOLLO-B Phase 3 study of patisiran in patients with the cardiomyopathy of transthyretin-mediated (ATTR) amyloidosis were presented at the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) 2023. Findings from a post-hoc analysis of the APOLLO-B Phase 3 study that further characterize the impact of patisiran on health status and quality of life in patients with the cardiomyopathy of ATTR amyloidosis were also presented, as well as an overview of baseline characteristics of patients who enrolled in the expanded access program for patisiran.
