Overview

Givosiran is a double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic designed to treat acute hepatic porphyria (AHP), a group of rare, inherited metabolic disorders characterized by potentially life-threatening attacks and chronic symptoms. It works by specifically targeting and degrading aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) mRNA in hepatocytes through RNA interference, leading to reduced production of the ALAS1 enzyme. This results in decreased levels of neurotoxic heme intermediates such as delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG), which are associated with AHP attacks and other disease manifestations. Givosiran is administered as a once-monthly subcutaneous injection. The drug was developed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals.
