About
Alnylam is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics
based on RNA interference, or RNAi. The company is leading the
translation of RNAi as a new class of innovative medicines with a core
focus on RNAi therapeutics toward genetically defined targets for the
treatment of serious, life-threatening diseases with limited treatment
options for patients and their caregivers. These include: ALN-TTR02, an
intravenously delivered RNAi therapeutic targeting transthyretin (TTR)
for the treatment of TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) in patients with
familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP); ALN-TTRsc, a subcutaneously
delivered RNAi therapeutic targeting TTR for the treatment of ATTR in
patients with familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (FAC); ALN-AT3, an
RNAi therapeutic targeting antithrombin (AT) for the treatment of
hemophilia and rare bleeding disorders (RBD); ALN-AS1, an RNAi
therapeutic targeting aminolevulinate synthase-1 (ALAS-1) for the
treatment of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP); ALN-PCS, an RNAi
therapeutic targeting PCSK9 for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia;
ALN-TMP, an RNAi therapeutic targeting TMPRSS6 for the treatment of
beta-thalassemia and iron-overload disorders; ALN-AAT, an RNAi
therapeutic targeting alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) for the treatment of AAT
deficiency liver disease; and ALN-CC5, an RNAi therapeutic targeting the
C5 component of the complement pathway for the treatment of
complement-mediated diseases, amongst other programs. As part of its
"Alnylam 5x15TM" strategy, the company expects to have five
RNAi therapeutic products for genetically defined diseases in clinical
development, including programs in advanced stages, on its own or with a
partner by the end of 2015. Alnylam has additional partnered programs in
clinical or development stages, including ALN-RSV01 for the treatment of
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and ALN-VSP for the
treatment of liver cancers. The company's leadership position on RNAi
therapeutics and intellectual property have enabled it to form major
alliances with leading companies including Merck, Medtronic, Novartis,
Biogen Idec, Roche,
