Alnylam Announces FDA Approval of AMVUTTRA™ (vutrisiran), an RNAi Therapeutic for the Treatment of the Polyneuropathy of Hereditary Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis in Adults
– First and Only FDA-approved Treatment Demonstrating Reversal in Neuropathy Impairment with Subcutaneous Administration Once Every Three Months
– AMVUTTRA Met Primary and All Secondary Endpoints, with Significant Improvement in Polyneuropathy, Quality of Life and Gait Speed Relative to External Placebo
– Company Expects to Launch in Early July, with Value-Based Agreements to Accelerate Access
The FDA approval is based on positive 9-month results from the HELIOS-A Phase 3 study, where AMVUTTRA significantly improved the signs and symptoms of polyneuropathy, with more than 50 percent of patients experiencing halting or reversal of their disease manifestations.
Following yesterday’s U.S. FDA approval, people in the U.S. prescribed AMVUTTRA (vutrisiran) and their families can now enroll in Alnylam Assist, our patient support services program, to receive help accessing this new therapy. https://bit.ly/3HjOg5Q
