Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. has the data it needs to file for supplemental approval in the US in late 2022 for Onpattro (patisiran) in the treatment of transthyretin-mediated (ATTR) amyloidosis patients with cardiomyopathy now that the Phase III APOLLO-B clinical trial has met it primary and key secondary endpoints. The data disclosed on 3 August also support the company’s plan to extend its transthyretin (TTR)-silencing RNAi therapeutic franchise into a bigger ATTR amyloidosis population.
