– Company to Present Complete Phase II Data at IXth International Symposium on Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (ISFAP) in November and to Present Initial OLE Study Clinical Endpoint Data in 2014 –
– On Track to Begin Phase III Trial with ALN-TTR02 in Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (FAP) Patients by End of This Year –
CAMBRIDGE, MA, USA I September 30, 2013 I Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, announced today that it has completed enrollment in its Phase II trial with ALN-TTR02, an RNAi therapeutic targeting the transthyretin (TTR) gene for the treatment of TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR). Recent interim results from this Phase II study showed that ALN-TTR02 achieved up to 93% knockdown of TTR – the disease-causing protein in ATTR. ALN-TTR02 activity was found to be rapid, dose dependent, and durable, with similar levels of TTR knockdown observed toward both wild-type and mutant protein. In addition, ALN-TTR02 was found to be generally safe and well tolerated in this study. Alnylam also announced today that its open-label extension (OLE) study with ALN-TTR02 is open for enrollment. The OLE study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ALN-TTR02 and will also measure effects of treatment toward a number of clinical endpoints, including a Neuropathy Impairment Score, or “NIS;” the company intends to report clinical data from this study about once per year, with initial data in 2014.
“Our ATTR program is the lead effort in our ‘Alnylam 5×15’ product development and commercialization strategy, which is focused on advancing RNAi therapeutics toward genetically defined targets for the treatment of diseases with high unmet medical need. We are very encouraged with the clinical activity, safety, and tolerability seen to date with ALN-TTR02 in our Phase II multi-dose study performed in ATTR patients, and look forward to sharing further data at the upcoming ISFAP meeting in November. As we presented at the Peripheral Nerve Society meeting in June, ALN-TTR02 achieved robust knockdown of up to 93% of circulating wild-type and mutant TTR,” said Akshay Vaishnaw, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Alnylam. “We are pleased to now be able to provide patients on our Phase II study with the opportunity to continue receiving ALN-TTR02 on our OLE study, which will include clinical endpoint measurements such as NIS. We plan on presenting data from the OLE study about once per year hereafter, with an initial presentation of results in 2014. We also remain on track to initiate our Phase III study of ALN-TTR02 in FAP patients by the end of this year, and have now completed discussions with regulatory authorities regarding our overall development plans to support submissions for product approval.”
ATTR is caused by mutations in the TTR gene which cause abnormal TTR amyloid protein deposits to accumulate in various tissues including peripheral nerves and heart, resulting in neuropathy and/or cardiomyopathy. ATTR represents a major unmet medical need with significant morbidity and mortality; familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) affects approximately 10,000 people worldwide and familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (FAC) affects at least 40,000 people worldwide. ALN-TTR02 is an intravenously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting TTR in development for the treatment of ATTR patients with FAP. Alnylam is also developing ALN-TTRsc, a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of FAC.
The Phase II study is an open-label, multi-center, multi-dose, dose-escalation trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two doses of ALN-TTR02 and to demonstrate clinical activity based on serial measurement of circulating serum levels of wild-type and mutant TTR. The study enrolled 29 ATTR polyneuropathy patients with ALN-TTR02 administered at doses of 0.01 to 0.30 mg/kg, using either a once-every-four-week or once-every-three-week dosing regimen. Interim results from the first 19 patients, presented at the 2013 Biennial Meeting of the Peripheral Nerve Society held June 29 – July 3, 2013, showed that multiple doses of ALN-TTR02 led to robust and statistically significant (p
The company has also opened enrollment in an OLE study of ALN-TTR02. Eligible patients treated in the Phase II study can enroll in the study, where they will receive ALN-TTR02 at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg every three weeks for up to two years. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ALN-TTR02 administration. In addition, the study will measure a number of clinical endpoints at baseline and every six months thereafter. This includes measurement of a modified composite NIS, termed “mNIS+7,” which is an evaluation of muscle weakness, sensory and autonomic function, and nerve conductance across a 304-point scale, where neuropathy progression leads to an increased score over time. A number of additional clinical endpoints will be assessed, including: quality of life; timed 10-meter walk test to evaluate mobility; modified body mass index as a measure of nutritional status; level of disability; and nerve fiber density in skin biopsies. Initial data from the OLE study are expected to be presented in 2014, with periodic updates thereafter approximately once a year.
In addition, Alnylam intends to start a Phase III pivotal trial for ALN-TTR02 in FAP patients by the end of 2013. The primary endpoint will be the difference in the change from baseline in the mNIS+7 score between patients receiving ALN-TTR02 as compared with those receiving placebo. Alnylam has obtained scientific advice for the ALN-TTR02 Phase III study from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and has completed its End-of-Phase II meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The company will provide further details on the study design upon its initiation.
In 2012, Alnylam entered into an exclusive alliance with Genzyme, a Sanofi company, to develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics, including ALN-TTR02 and ALN-TTRsc, for the treatment of ATTR in Japan and the broader Asian-Pacific region. Alnylam plans to develop and commercialize the ALN-TTR program in North and South America, Europe, and rest of the world.
About Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis
Transthyretin (TTR)-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) is an inherited, progressively debilitating, and fatal disease caused by mutations in the TTR gene. TTR protein is produced primarily in the liver and is normally a carrier for retinol binding protein. Mutations in TTR cause abnormal amyloid proteins to accumulate and damage body organs and tissue, such as the peripheral nerves and heart, resulting in intractable peripheral sensory neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and/or cardiomyopathy. ATTR represents a major unmet medical need with significant morbidity and mortality; familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) affects approximately 10,000 people worldwide and familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (FAC) affects at least 40,000 people worldwide. FAP patients have a life expectancy of five to 15 years from symptom onset, and the only treatment options for early stage disease are liver transplantation and tafamidis (approved in Europe). The mean survival for FAC patients is approximately 2.5 years, and there are no approved therapies. There is a significant need for novel therapeutics to treat patients who have inherited mutations in the TTR gene.

About RNA Interference (RNAi)
RNAi (RNA interference) is a revolution in biology, representing a breakthrough in understanding how genes are turned on and off in cells, and a completely new approach to drug discovery and development. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug discovery today which was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. RNAi is a natural process of gene silencing that occurs in organisms ranging from plants to mammals. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, the creation of a major new class of medicines, known as RNAi therapeutics, is on the horizon. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutic platform, target the cause of diseases by potently silencing specific mRNAs, thereby preventing disease-causing proteins from being made. RNAi therapeutics have the potential to treat disease and help patients in a fundamentally new way.
