Alnylam Pharmaceuticals&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/alny#NASDAQ">ALNY</a>) announced that it has submitted a Type II Variation to the&nbsp;European Medicines Agency for vutrisiran, an investigational RNAi therapeutic being developed to treat ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Shares of the company gained 4.6% in response to the encouraging news.
Please note that Alnylam already markets vutrisiran in the EU under the brand name Amvuttra for treating hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy.
The application seeking approval for vutrisiran to treat ATTR-CM is supported by positive&nbsp;results from ALNY&#39;s pivotal phase III HELIOS-B study, which met all primary and secondary endpoints across both the overall and monotherapy populations, each with statistical significance.
Year to date, shares of Alnylam have gained 57% against the industry&#39;s 1% decline.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/42/81532.jpg?v=982164009" style="height:310px; width:600px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Per the data readout, vutrisiran reduced mortality and cardiovascular events while improving functional capacity (measured by the six-minute walk test), quality of life (using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire), and heart failure symptoms and severity (via New York Heart Association class) in ATTR-CM patients.
Additionally, the safety profile of vutrisiran in the HELIOS-B study was consistent with its known profile for treating hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy in adults. In the late-stage study, the rates of adverse events, including those leading to discontinuation, were similar between the vutrisiran and placebo groups.
<h2>Amvuttra &ndash; The Key Growth Driver for Alnylam</h2>
Please note that Alnylam also markets Amvuttra, the company&#39;s lead drug, in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with polyneuropathy of&nbsp;hATTR amyloidosis. The drug&#39;s sales contribute significantly to ALNY&#39;s top line. Amvuttra generated sales worth $425.4 million in the first half of 2024, up 82% year over year on a reported basis. The encouraging uptake of the drug is driven by new patients starting treatment as well as patients switching from Onpattro. Onpattro is approved in the United States and EU to treat hATTR amyloidosis in adults.
We remind the investors that a supplemental new drug application for vutrisiran, seeking its label expansion to treat ATTR-CM is also currently under review in the United States. If the regulatory applications in the EU and the United States are approved, Alnylam believes that vutrisiran has the potential to become the new standard of care for the treatment of ATTR-CM. This will expand the eligible patient population for the drug driving substantial growth for the company in the future.
Other marketed products include Givlaari for acute hepatic porphyria and Oxlumo injection for subcutaneous use for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 to lower urinary and plasma oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients.
Alnylam also markets a fifth drug, Leqvio (inclisiran), in collaboration with Novartis (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvs#NYSE">NVS</a>) to treat hypercholesterolemia in the EU. In the United States, it is approved to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with two doses per year. Per the agreement, Alnylam has granted Novartis exclusive and worldwide rights to manufacture and commercialize RNAi therapeutics targeting PCSK9 for treating hypercholesterolemia and other human diseases, including Leqvio. Novartis has also received FDA approval to expand Leqvio&#39;s label to include earlier use in patients with elevated LDL-C who have an increased risk of heart disease, as an adjunct to diet and statin therapy.

Amicus Therapeutics Enters License Agreement With Teva, Resolving Galafold Patent Litigation; No Terms Disclosed

MeiraGTx Holdings&#39; (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mgtx#NASDAQ">MGTX</a>) clinical bridging study of its gene therapy candidate, AAV-GAD, for treating Parkinson&#39;s disease (PD) met&nbsp;its primary study objective of safety&nbsp;and tolerability. The stock soared 14.9% in response to the news.
<h2>MGTX&#39;s PD Gene Therapy Candidate Betters Sham Treatment</h2>
The MGT-GAD-025 study of AAV-GAD for PD demonstrated significant and clinically meaningful improvements from baseline for key efficacy endpoints after 26 weeks of treatment.
Per the data readout, treatment with the candidate resulted in a statistically significant 18-point average improvement from baseline in the&nbsp;UPDRS Part 3 (motor examination) &quot;off&quot; medication score&nbsp;in the high-dose group at week 26. However, no significant change in the sham or low-dose groups was observed.
Additionally, MeiraGTx reported significant dose-dependent improvements from baseline in the disease-specific, patient-reported quality of life PDQ-39 score in both the high and low-dose groups with no significant change in the sham group at 26 weeks.
Year to date, shares of MeiraGTx have plunged 24.1% compared with the industry&#39;s 1.8% decline.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The investigational gene therapy was also found to be generally safe and overall well-tolerated. No serious, AAV-GAD treatment-related adverse events were&nbsp;observed.
Per MGTX, PD is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer&#39;s, affecting nearly one million people in the United States, with around 90,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Globally, more than 10 million people are living with PD. Initially, most patients respond well to dopamine replacement therapy, but over time, its effectiveness often diminishes and adverse side effects may arise, significantly impacting quality of life and daily functioning. This represents a high unmet medical need.
While the cause of PD remains unknown for most, a small percentage have a genetic basis. In all cases, PD involves disruptions in movement control circuits.
AAV-GAD has a novel mechanism of action that aims to correct the aberrant circuitry that results from the depletion of dopamine in the brain of idiopathic PD patients as the disease progresses. Using the company&#39;s proprietary delivery instrument, AAV-GAD is administered as a one-time infusion into the subthalamic nucleus, a key regulator of the circuits responsible for normal movement.
<h2>MGTX&#39;s Path Forward for AAV-GAD Following Upbeat Results</h2>
Based on the encouraging data readout from the MGT-GAD-025 study, MeiraGTx is currently gearing up to discuss these results with regulatory bodies in the United States, EU and Japan to potentially initiate a phase III study that will support the approval of this disease-modifying treatment globally.
Apart from AAV-GAD, the company has multiple other programs in clinical development, including the phase III Lumeos study for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, phase I/II programs in achromatopsia and RPE65-deficiency, phase II study for radiation-induced xerostomia and a different mid-stage study for Sjogren&#39;s syndrome.
