Alnylam Initiates Phase 2 Study of Lumasiran in Patients with Recurrent Kidney Stone Disease

Retrieved on: 
Monday, December 20, 2021

Recurrent kidney stone disease is a prevalent disease, associated with significant clinical burden, including pain, infection, hospitalizations, and an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.

Key Points: 
  • Recurrent kidney stone disease is a prevalent disease, associated with significant clinical burden, including pain, infection, hospitalizations, and an increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.
  • The Phase 2 trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of lumasiran administered subcutaneously in patients with recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stone disease and elevated urinary oxalate levels.
  • Lumasiran is a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1) in development for the treatment of advanced primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) and recurrent kidney stone disease.
  • Thus, by silencing HAO1 and depleting the GO enzyme, lumasiran inhibits production of oxalate the metabolite that directly contributes to the pathophysiology of PH1 and recurrent kidney stone disease.
