Rare autosomal recessive disorder of increased endogenous oxalate synthesis due to absence of liver peroxisomal enzyme alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT)

Phenotype varies from ESRD in infancy to occasional stone formation in adulthood

Calcium oxalate crystals are insoluble in body fluids, resulting in renal stone formation, nephrocalcinosis, and kidney failure

Disease course ultimately leads to multi-organ damage from systemic oxalosis, affecting bones, eyes, blood vessels, heart, thyroid, skin, among other tissues

Prevalence of PH1: 1-3/1,000,000 in Europe1 and ~ 32/1,000,000 in Middle East2

Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1)

Background

Current Therapeutic Approaches

No approved medical therapies

Goal: Preservation of kidney function

• Decreased oxalate production with Vitamin B6 (effective in minority of patients)

• Decreased crystallization with high fluid intake, citrate

Patients with ESRD

• Increased oxalate removal with intensive dialysis

Combined liver-kidney or preemptive liver transplantation

Lumasiran (Formerly ALN-GO1)

Lumasiran is an investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting glycolate

oxidase (GO) in development for treatment of Primary Hyperoxaluria

Type 1 (PH1)

Lumasiran is designed to reduce hepatic levels of GO enzyme

(encoded by HAO1), thereby depleting substrate necessary for oxalate

production, which directly contributes to pathophysiology of PH1

Investigational Therapeutic Approach: RNA Interference

Harness natural pathway of gene silencing to regulate protein production

Sequence-dependent degradation of target mRNA confers exquisite specificity

Conjugation to GalNAc allows subcutaneous administration and efficient delivery to hepatocytes

General approach clinically validated with human proof-of-concept in multiple clinical development programs across several diseases

Reported Cases of Known or Suspected GO Inactivity

Lumasiran targets GO, key enzyme in pathway of hepatic oxalate

production. Many patients with PH1 already have elevated glycolate

levels as part of their disease pathophysiology. No known negative

impact of elevated glycolate levels.

Significance of Decreasing Urinary Oxalate

Lumasiran lowered UOx below 1.1 mmol/24hr/1.73m2 in all

patients with baseline excretion ≥ 1.6 mmol/24hr/1.73m2

Zhao et al. CJASN 2016;11:119-126

Renal survival was examined by quartile of urine oxalate (UOx) excretion

(mmol/24hr/1.73m2 ) at diagnosis. Among patients with PH who did not

have ESRD at diagnosis, renal survival estimates were lower in those

with highest level of urinary oxalate excretion.

Lumasiran Phase 1/2 Initial Study Results*

Summary and Next Steps

Lumasiran (ALN-GO1): subcutaneously administered investigational RNAi therapeutic designed to reduce hepatic production of oxalate in patients with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1)

Multiple doses of lumasiran have been well tolerated by patients with PH1 with no drug related SAEs or discontinuations from study

Lumasiran treatment achieved substantial reductions in urinary oxalate levels in all patients treated, suggesting potential of substrate reduction therapy through RNAi-mediated glycolate oxidase inhibition

Continued investigation of lumasiran will explore dose optimization for oxalate lowering in patients

• Alnylam plans to study additional patients of younger ages and those with more severe manifestations of PH1, including renal failure and systemic oxalosis
