Patisiran is an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic agent approved for the treatment of polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis in adults. It works by silencing the transthyretin (TTR) gene, thereby reducing the production of mutant and wild-type TTR protein which forms amyloid deposits.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in adult patients with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis; values pertain to patisiran lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation after intravenous administration.
