Methods for inhibition of HAO1 (hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (glycolate oxidase)) gene expression
The invention relates methods of using RNAi agents to inhibit expression of HAO1 and methods of treating subjects having, e.g., PH1.
1. A method of treating a human subject having Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1), the method comprising, in a loading phase, subcutaneously administering to the subject three monthly doses of 3 mg ALN-GO1 per kg bodyweight of the subject, thereby treating the subject;
wherein ALN-GO1 comprises gsascuuuCfaUfCfCfuggaaauauaL96 (SEQ ID NO:14) and usAfsuauUfuCfCfaggaUfgAfaagucscsa (SEQ ID NO: 15);
wherein, c, u, g, and a are 2′-O-methyl ribonucleotides; Af, Cf, and Uf are 2′-fluoro ribonucleotides; s is a phosphorothioate linkage; and L96 is N-[tris(GaINAc-alkyl)-amidodecanoyl)]-4-hydroxyprolinol Hyp-(GaINAc-alkyl) 3 .
2. A method of treating a human subject having Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1), the method comprising subcutaneously administering to the subject quarterly doses of 3.0 mg ALN-GO1 per kg bodyweight of the subject, thereby treating the subject.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a urinary oxalate excretion of the subject is reduced by at least 50% after treatment compared to before treatment.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plasma glycolate level of the subject is increased and sustained until at least day 75 after treatment compared to before treatment.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a GO (Glycolate Oxidase) enzyme of the subject is inhibited by at least 90% after treatment compared to before treatment.
6. The method of claim 2 , wherein a urinary oxalate excretion of the subject is reduced by at least 50% after treatment compared to before treatment.
7. The method of claim 2 , wherein a plasma glycolate level of the subject is increased and sustained until at least day 75 after treatment compared to before treatment.
8. The method of claim 2 , wherein a GO enzyme of the subject is inhibited by at least 90% after treatment compared to before treatment.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the urinary oxalate excretion in the subject before and after treatment.
10. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining the urinary oxalate excretion in the subject before and after treatment.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has a urinary oxalate excretion of≥0.70 mmol/24h/1.73m 2 before treatment.
12. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subject has a urinary oxalate excretion of≥0.70 mmol/24h/1.73m 2 before treatment.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has an eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) of >45ml/min/1.73m{circumflex over ( )}2 before treatment.
14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subject has an eGFR of >45ml/min/1.73mm{circumflex over ( )}2 before treatment.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has end stage renal disease (ESRD). before treatment.
16. The method of claim 2 , wherein the subject has end stage renal disease (ESRD). before treatment.
17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a mutation in a AGT1 gene of the subject.
18. The method of claim 2 , further comprising identifying a mutation in a AGT1 gene of the subject.
