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 results from Part D of the Phase 1 study of zilebesiran, assessing the safety and pharmacology of sequential doses of zilebesiran in patients with Class II or III obesity, were presented during the American Heart Association Hypertension Scientific Sessions 2023.

New results from a post hoc analysis of the APOLLO-B Phase 3 study of patisiran in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy evaluating disease progression following 12 months of treatment with patisiran vs. placebo were presented during the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2023.
