CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2025-- Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today presented the most contemporary analysis of the HELIOS-B Phase 3 study of vutrisiran for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) as a late-breaking abstract at the Heart Failure 2025 Congress, a scientific congress of the European Society of Cardiology, taking place May 17-20 in Belgrade, Serbia. The results demonstrate that vutrisiran, which rapidly knocks down transthyretin, reduces key cardiovascular (CV) events such as CV hospitalizations, and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations. Additionally, in the analysis, urgent HF visits were reduced by 46% (95% CI: 0.30, 0.98; p = 0.041) in the overall population during the double-blind period, compared to placebo. These CV events often precede all-cause mortality (ACM) and are key indicators of disease progression.

Importantly, results from the November 2024 data cut, including further follow up through up to 42 months, reinforce the primary HELIOS-B analysis showing vutrisiran’s effect on ACM, and further demonstrate that vutrisiran reduces CV mortality. Through 42 months, the risk of ACM was reduced by 36% (95% CI: 0.46, 0.88; p = 0.007) and the risk of CV mortality was reduced by 33% (95% CI: 0.47, 0.96; p = 0.038) in the overall population, compared to placebo. For both the primary analysis and the current analysis, vital status through 42 months was ascertained for over 99% of all randomized patients from the HELIOS-B study, underscoring the robustness of the results.

The study was conducted in a contemporary patient population with patients receiving robust background therapy, inclusive of treatment with a TTR stabilizer and SGLT2 inhibitors. The analysis of the HELIOS-B Phase 3 study, including mortality data through up to 42 months, was simultaneously published inJACC.

“From the primary analysis of HELIOS-B, we know that AMVUTTRA profoundly impacts all-cause mortality, while preserving patients’ functional capacity and quality of life,” said Pushkal Garg, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Alnylam. “These new data—including the impact on mortality, on cardiovascular events and on urgent heart failure visits, the latter of which was reduced by nearly half—add to the story of consistency and magnitude of benefit. I remain impressed by the HELIOS-B results, which are noteworthy given the substantial use of heart failure treatments in the study population, and I believe they continue to reinforce AMVUTTRA as a clinically differentiated, first-line option for patients with ATTR-CM.”

The results from the analysis underscore the rapid and sustained benefits of vutrisiran in treating ATTR-CM across key endpoints:

In a separate presentation on Tuesday, May 20, Alnylam will share findings from a subgroup analysis of HELIOS-B evaluating the impact of vutrisiran on ACM and recurrent CV events among patients identified by investigators as having experienced disease progression while being treated with tafamidis.

Also at the Heart Failure 2025 Congress, Alnylam will present the study design and rationale for TRITON-CM, a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, study of nucresiran in patients with ATTR-CM. Nucresiran is an investigational next-generation RNAi therapeutic targeting TTR that has been shown to deliver rapid knockdown of TTR greater than 95% with twice-annual dosing in a Phase 1 study. TRITON-CM is an event-driven CV outcomes trial with a primary endpoint of composite ACM and CV events. The study is on track to initiate in the first half of 2025 and will enroll approximately 1,200 patients with wild-type or variant TTR and confirmed cardiomyopathy, including those receiving background stabilizer therapy. Additional details of the study’s secondary endpoints and key inclusion and exclusion criteria will be shared on Monday, May 19.

AMVUTTRA^® (vutrisiran) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) for treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis in adults. The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion recommending the approval of vutrisiran for the same indication. A formal regulatory decision by the European Commission of the EMA is expected by the third quarter of 2025. Vutrisiran is currently under review for the treatment of ATTR-CM by the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). Alnylam remains on track to proceed with additional global regulatory submissions for vutrisiran in 2025 and beyond.

Indications and Important Safety Information

Indications Approved by the U.S. FDA
AMVUTTRA^® (vutrisiran) is indicated for the treatment of the:

• cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults to reduce cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular hospitalizations and urgent heart failure visits.
• polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR-PN) in adults.

Important Safety Information
Reduced Serum Vitamin A Levels and Recommended Supplementation

AMVUTTRA treatment leads to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels.

Supplementation at the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin A is advised for patients taking AMVUTTRA. Higher doses than the RDA should not be given to try to achieve normal serum vitamin A levels during treatment with AMVUTTRA, as serum vitamin A levels do not reflect the total vitamin A in the body.

Patients should be referred to an ophthalmologist if they develop ocular symptoms suggestive of vitamin A deficiency (e.g., night blindness).

Adverse Reactions
In a study of patients with hATTR-PN, the most common adverse reactions that occurred in patients treated with AMVUTTRA were pain in extremity (15%), arthralgia (11%), dyspnea (7%), and vitamin A decreased (7%).

In a study of patients with ATTR-CM, no new safety issues were identified.

About AMVUTTRA^® (vutrisiran)
AMVUTTRA^® (vutrisiran) is an RNAi therapeutic that delivers rapid knockdown of variant and wild-type transthyretin (TTR), addressing the underlying cause of transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis. Administered quarterly via subcutaneous injection, vutrisiran is approved and marketed in more than 15 countries for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR-PN) in adults. In Europe, it is administered as a subcutaneous injection once every three months, either by a healthcare professional, or self-administered by patients or their caregivers. Vutrisiran is also in development for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), which encompasses both wild-type and hereditary forms of the disease.

About ATTR
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is an underdiagnosed, rapidly progressive, debilitating and fatal disease caused by misfolded transthyretin (TTR) proteins, which accumulate as amyloid deposits in various parts of the body, including the nerves, heart and gastrointestinal tract. Patients may present with polyneuropathy, cardiomyopathy, or both manifestations of disease. There are two different forms of ATTR – hereditary ATTR (hATTR), which is caused by a TTR gene variant and affects approximately 50,000 people worldwide, and wild-type ATTR (wtATTR), which occurs without a TTR gene variant and impacts an estimated 200,000 – 300,000 people worldwide.^1-4

About RNAi
RNAi (RNA interference) is a natural cellular process of gene silencing that represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug development today. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and was recognized with the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, a new class of medicines known as RNAi therapeutics is now a reality. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutic platform, function upstream of today’s medicines by potently silencing messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic precursors – that encode for disease-causing or disease pathway proteins, thus preventing them from being made. This is a revolutionary approach with the potential to transform the care of patients with genetic and other diseases.
