Disease Information
About Acute Hepatic Porphyria
Download Fact Sheet › (Format: PDF)
Acute hepatic porphyria (AHP) refers to a family of rare, genetic diseases characterized by potentially life-threatening attacks and, for some patients, chronic debilitating symptoms that negatively impact daily functioning and quality of life. AHP comprises 4 subtypes, each resulting from a genetic defect leading to deficiency in one of the enzymes of the heme biosynthesis pathway in the liver: acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, variegate porphyria, and ALAD-deficiency porphyria.
About Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis
Download Fact Sheet › (Format: PDF)
Hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis is a rapidly progressive and life-threatening disease that is caused by a mutation in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. TTR protein is produced primarily in the liver and is normally a carrier of vitamin A. The mutation results in the accumulation of amyloid deposits in multiple organs of the body, including the nerves, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. The condition can have a debilitating impact on a patient’s life and may lead to premature death within 4.7 years following diagnosis.
About Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1
Download Fact Sheet › (Format: PDF)
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) constitutes a group of rare inherited disorders of the liver characterized by the overproduction of oxalate, an end-product of metabolism. There are 3 types of PH: type 1 (PH1), type 2 (PH2), and type 3 (PH3). PH1 is the most common and severe form, accounting for 70% to 80% of all cases. PH1 affects 1 to 3 individuals per million, with a higher prevalence in some regions, such as the Middle East and North Africa. In the United States and Europe, there may be approximately 2,500 to 5,000 cases.
Products and Pipeline
Our pipeline of investigational RNAi therapeutics is focused on diseases with high unmet medical need that fall under 4 Strategic Therapeutic Areas (STArs): genetic diseases, cardio-metabolic diseases, hepatic infectious diseases, and central nervous system (CNS) & ocular diseases. We have multiple programs in late-stage and early-stage clinical development.

Clinical Trials
Our clinical studies allow us to evaluate whether potential new treatments are safe and effective.
APOLLO-A and -B Phase 3 Studies
APOLLO-A evaluated the efficacy and safety of patisiran in patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) with polyneuropathy, and APOLLO-B is evaluating patisiran in patients with transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR amyloidosis).

ILLUMINATE-A, -B, and -C Phase 3 Studies
ILLUMINATE-A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study evaluating safety and efficacy of lumasiran in children (age 6 or older) and adults with PH1. ILLUMINATE-B open-label, multicenter Phase 3 study evaluating safety and efficacy of lumasiran in infants and young children (under the age of 6) with PH1. ILLUMINATE-C open-label, multicenter Phase 3 study evaluating safety and efficacy of lumasiran in PH1 patients of all ages with advanced renal disease, including patients on dialysis.
