 Clinical Data

HELIOS-A Study

HELIOSA was a phase 3, global, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran in patients with hATTR-PN. Patients were randomized (3:1) to receive either vutrisiran 25 mg every 3 months by subcutaneous injection (n=122) or patisiran 0.3 mg/kg every 3 weeks by IV infusion (as a reference group, n=42) for 18 months. This study used the placebo arm of the APOLLO study as an external control arm (n=77) for the primary endpoint and most other efficacy endpoints. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in mNIS+7 at 9 months.1

Pain in Extremity

Pain in extremity events during the HELIOSA study were reported using the following preferred terms: “Pain in Extremity” and “Limb Discomfort”. During the 18-month treatment period, pain in extremity was reported as an AE in 18 patients (14.8%) in the vutrisiran group, 3 patients (7.1%) in the patisiran group, and 8 patients (10.4%) in the APOLLO-placebo group.1 The AEs were mild or moderate in severity, and none of them led to treatment discontinuation. Pain in extremity AEs did not increase over time.2

 Global Safety Database

A cumulative post-marketing review of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals’ global safety database did not identify any safety concerns involving pain in extremity with the use of vutrisiran.4
