Results of a phase 1/2 study of cemdisiran in healthy subjects and patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

ABSTRACT: Complement dysregulation underpins the physiopathology of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Cemdisiran, an RNA interference investigational treatment, silences complement component 5 (C5) expression in the liver. Previously reported results showed sustained reduction in C5 levels following cemdisiran monotherapy, with >90% reduction in patients with PNH. This phase 1/2 study evaluated single (Part A, n = 32; 50-900 mg) or multiple (Part B, n = 24; 100-600 mg) ascending doses of cemdisiran or placebo (double-blind, randomized 3:1) in healthy adults, or cemdisiran in patients with PNH who were naive to, or receiving, eculizumab (Part C, n = 6; 200 or 400 mg weekly; open-label). The primary objective was to assess the safety and tolerability of cemdisiran. Other
