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 the six-month primary analysis of the ILLUMINATE-C Phase 3 open-label study of lumasiran in patients of all ages with advanced primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) were presented at the European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) International Congress (May 19-22, 2022).

Findings from a separate pooled pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of data from four clinical trials of lumasiran were also presented.

New results on Alnylam’s platform advancements enabling delivery of therapeutic short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to the central nervous system (CNS) were presented at the TIDES USA, Oligonucleotide & Peptide Therapeutics 2022 Meeting being held in Boston on May 9-12. Additional preclinical data were presented on Alnylam’s GEMINI platform for simultaneous silencing of two transcripts within the CNS with a single siRNA entity.

Additional findings from a post hoc analysis of the impact of baseline urinary oxalate on response to lumasiran in patients with PH1 in the ILLUMINATE-A study were presented.

New results from the HELIOS-A Phase 3 study of vutrisiran, an investigational RNAi therapeutic, in hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy, were presented during a poster presentation at the 71st Annual Meeting of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) held April 2–4, 2022. The data help further our understanding of the safety and efficacy of vutrisiran in patients with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy who have variants that have previously been associated with predominant cardiomyopathy.
