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.
Positive interim results from the ongoing Phase 1 study of ALN-AGT, an investigational RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of hypertension, were presented during the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2020, taking place virtually from November 13 – 17, 2020.
During the Thrombosis & Hemostasis Summit of North America 2020 Virtual Conference, we presented new data from a post-hoc analysis of the ENVISION Phase 3 study of GIVLAARI® (givosiran), evaluating hemin use in patients with acute hepatic porphyria. We also presented encore data evaluating healthcare resource utilization among patients with acute intermittent porphyria.
New data from a post-hoc analysis of the ENVISION Phase 3 study of GIVLAARI® (givosiran) were presented during the American College of Gastroenterology 2020 Virtual Annual Scientific Meeting, evaluating outcomes in patients with acute hepatic porphyria with or without prior hemin prophylaxis. Findings on healthcare resource utilization among patients with acute intermittent porphyria were also presented, along with encore 12-month interim data from the open-label extension period of the ENVISION Phase 3 study.
Positive results from the six-month primary analysis of the ongoing ILLUMINATE-B Phase 3 open-label pediatric study of lumasiran, an investigational RNAi therapeutic in development for the treatment of adults and children with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1), were presented at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2020, held October 22-25 as a virtual event. Additionally, new 12-month results from the ILLUMINATE-A pivotal Phase 3 study and the ongoing Phase 2 open-label extension (OLE) study were also presented.

On September 14, 2020, we hosted an online RNAi Roundtable to review progress with givosiran, an RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of acute hepatic porphyria.
On September 3, 2020, we hosted an online RNAi Roundtable to review progress with patisiran and vutrisiran, RNAi therapeutics in development for the treatment of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis. Of note, we announced we have obtained clinical pharmacology data supporting the potential for a biannual subcutaneous dosing regimen option for vutrisiran, providing further product differentiation as a potential best-in-class agent, and discussed new clinical data presented at the European Society of Cardiology 2020 Congress providing further evidence that treatment with patisiran may lead to substantial reduction in cardiac amyloid burden in ATTR amyloidosis.

During The Digital International Liver Congress™ 2020, we shared new interim data from the Phase 1/2 open-label extension (OLE) study of GIVLAARI® (givosiran) in acute hepatic porphyria (AHP), as well as encore 12-month interim data from the OLE period of the ENVISION Phase 3 study of GIVLAARI.

We published nonclinical research describing the durability of gene silencing by GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs. The article, titled, “Investigating the Pharmacodynamic Durability of GalNAc-siRNA Conjugates,” was selected as a Breakthrough Paper by Nucleic Acids Research.
