Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Research Report
On June 20, 2013, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Alnylam) announced that it presented pre-clinical data with ALN-CC5, an RNAi therapeutic targeting complement component C5, at the 6th International Conference on Complement Therapeutics, which was held from June 18 to June 23, 2013 in Greece. The presentation, "Development of an RNAi Therapeutic Silencing the C5 Component of Complement," showed the potent, dose-dependent, and durable RNAi-mediated knockdown of serum C5 and inhibition of complement-mediated hemolytic activity of approximately 90% with a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic. "C5 is a genetically and clinically validated target that exemplifies the potential of Alnylam's '5x15' product strategy for innovative new medicines. First, C5 is predominantly expressed in liver, where we have established clinical activity and tolerability for RNAi therapeutics. In addition, our clinical development plan for an RNAi therapeutic targeting C5 will be facilitated by serum biomarkers in Phase I trials and a relatively streamlined and focused path for advanced development," said Rachel Meyers, Ph.D., Vice President, Research and RNAi Lead Development at Alnylam.

(Immunomedics) announced that UCB reported new data from an open-label extension of the EMBLEM phase 2b study evaluating the long-term effects of epratuzumab treatment in adult patients with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). "In EMBLEM, a dose-ranging, phase 2b study, reduction in disease activity was observed in patients treated with epratuzumab," said Professor Daniel J Wallace MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, California, US. He added, "This double-blind study had a relatively short 12-week, placebo-controlled, treatment period and it was important to accumulate long-term data on epratuzumab in the treatment of SLE. The phase 2b extension study adds new two year open-label data on epratuzumab to that already available from the 12-week, randomized, controlled study."

Tesaro reported that at a dose of 300 milligrams once daily, 75% with platinum sensitive high grade serous ovarian cancer achieved a RECIST response, and across all dose levels (30 milligrams to 400 milligrams daily), a RECIST response rate of 46% was observed within this population. Also, a RECIST response rate of 50% was achieved in patients with platinum sensitive ovarian cancer and germline BRCA mutations. Dr. Mary Lynne Hedley, President of TESARO commented, "The results of this study provide further support for the design of our planned Phase 3 trials in ovarian and breast cancer and, in particular, the potential utility of platinum sensitivity and BRCA status as predictors of response to niraparib."

Fennell, University Hospital, Leicester, UK, co-Principal Investigator of GALAXY-1.
