Abstract Background and Aims Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hepatic overproduction of oxalate. Excretion of oxalate via the kidneys leads to recurrent kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, progressive kidney disease, and multiorgan damage from systemic oxalosis. Lumasiran, a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic indicated for the treatment of PH1 in all age groups, has multiple ongoing phase 3 studies including ILLUMINATE-A, which enrolled 39 patients ≥6 years of age with eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2, and ILLUMINATE-B, which enrolled 18 patients <6 years of age with eGFR >45 mL/min/1.73m2 if ≥12 months of age or normal serum creatinine if <12 months of age. Here we present a comparison of the efficacy and safety of lumasiran in children versus adults with PH1 using pooled data from these two phase 3 studies of lumasiran. Method Efficacy and safety data from ILLUMINATE-A and ILLUMINATE-B, including urinary oxalate, plasma oxalate, eGFR, and adverse events were pooled and assessed by age <18 (N=40), or ≥18 years old (N=17). The analysis included all available data from 57 patients with PH1, ages 4 months to 60 years, who completed the initial 6 months of treatment with lumasiran. Results During the initial 6 months of treatment with lumasiran, patients with PH1 had a rapid and sustained decrease in urinary oxalate. The overall mean (SEM) percent reduction in urinary oxalate:creatinine ratios as measured in random spot urine samples from baseline to Month 6 was 63.1% (2.6) across all ages (N=54). A similar time course and magnitude of reduction was seen in patients <18 years at 64.5% (3.3) (N=38), and ≥18 years old at 59.8% (4.4) (N=16). The oxalate reductions observed in random spot urine samples were comparable to those observed from 24-hour urine collections. The overall mean (SEM) percent reduction in urinary oxalate excretion from 24-hour collections was 63.8% (2.6) across all ages (N=40), 63.2% (3.5) in the <18 group (N=23) and 64.8% (3.9) in the ≥18 group (N=17). The overall mean (SEM) percent reduction in plasma oxalate from baseline to Month 6 was 39.5% (3.7) across all ages (N=44), with similar reductions of 39.4% (4.6) and 39.7% (6.5) in patients <18 (N=30) and ≥18 (N=14) years of age, respectively. eGFR was calculated for all patients ≥12 months of age and remained stable in both age groups during the 6 months of treatment with lumasiran. The 57 patients had a cumulative exposure of 27.1 patient-years and 227 doses were given. Adverse events were reported in 86% of all patients, 88% of patients <18, and 82% of patients ≥18 years of age. All adverse events were graded as mild or moderate in severity by the investigator. One patient had a serious adverse event of viral infection that was not related to lumasiran. In all patients, the most common adverse events related to lumasiran were mild, transient, injection site reactions, experienced by 30% of all patients, 23% of patients <18 and 47% of patients ≥18 years of age. No treatment interruptions or discontinuations related to lumasiran or deaths occurred. Conclusion Lumasiran reduced urinary and plasma oxalate to a similar degree in pediatric and adult patients with PH1 enrolled in the Phase 3 studies ILLUMINATE-A and ILLUMINATE-B. Reductions in urinary oxalate were similar between random spot urine samples and valid 24-hour urine collections. Overall safety was comparable between pediatric and adult patients.

Background and objectivesIn the rare disease primary hyperoxaluria type 1, overproduction of oxalate by the liver causes kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, kidney failure, and systemic oxalosis. Lumasiran, an RNA interference therapeutic, suppresses glycolate oxidase, reducing hepatic oxalate production. The objective of this first-in-human, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic profiles of lumasiran in healthy participants and patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis phase 1/2 study was conducted in two parts. In part A, healthy adults randomized 3:1 received a single subcutaneous dose of lumasiran or placebo in ascending dose groups (0.3–6 mg/kg). In part B, patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 randomized 3:1 received up to three doses of lumasiran or placebo in cohorts of 1 or 3 mg/kg monthly or 3 mg/kg quarterly. Patients initially assigned to placebo crossed over to lumasiran on day 85. The primary outcome was incidence of adverse events. Secondary outcomes included pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters, including measures of oxalate in patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.ResultsThirty-two healthy participants and 20 adult and pediatric patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 were enrolled. Lumasiran had an acceptable safety profile, with no serious adverse events or study discontinuations attributed to treatment. In part A, increases in mean plasma glycolate concentration, a measure of target engagement, were observed in healthy participants. In part B, patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 had a mean maximal reduction from baseline of 75% across dosing cohorts in 24-hour urinary oxalate excretion. All patients achieved urinary oxalate levels ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal.ConclusionsLumasiran had an acceptable safety profile and reduced urinary oxalate excretion in all patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 to near-normal levels.Clinical Trial registry name and registration number:Study of Lumasiran in Healthy Adults and Patients with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1, NCT02706886

Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic disease caused by hepatic overproduction of oxalate, ultimately responsible for kidney stones, kidney failure and systemic oxalosis. Lumasiran, is a liver-directed RNA interference therapeutic agent. It has been shown to reduce hepatic oxalate production by targeting glycolate oxidase, and to dramatically reduce oxalate excretion.Care Report: We present the case of a teenager patient affected by PH1, who entered in the lumasiran compassionate use program. The patient had a rapid and sustained decrease in urinary oxalate/creatinine ratio, with a mean reduction after lumasiran administration of about 70%. During the 18 months long follow-up, urinary oxalate remained low, reaching nearly normal values. Plasma oxalate also decreased dramatically. Normal levels were reached immediately after the first dose and remained consistently low thereafter. During the same follow-up period, eGFR remained stable at about 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, but no new kidney stones were observed. Existing kidney stones did not increase in size. The patient did not suffer renal colic events and did not require further urological interventions.Conclusion: In our severely affected PH1 patient, lumasiran proved to be very effective in rapidly and consistently reducing plasma oxalate and urinary excretion to normal and near-normal levels, respectively. In the 18 months long follow-up post-lumasiran, the eGFR remained stable and the patient showed clinical improvements. As far as we know, this report covers the longest observation period after initiation of this novel RNAi therapy.
