Clinical information

From the regulator-approved product information. Each section names its source.

Uses

GIVLAARI is indicated for the treatment of adults with acute hepatic porphyria (AHP). GIVLAARI is an aminolevulinate synthase 1-directed small interfering RNA indicated for the treatment of adults with acute hepatic porphyria (AHP).

Source: US FDA prescribing information

How it works

Givosiran is a double-stranded small interfering RNA that causes degradation of aminolevulinate synthase 1 ( ALAS1 ) mRNA in hepatocytes through RNA interference, reducing the elevated levels of liver ALAS1 mRNA. This leads to reduced circulating levels of neurotoxic intermediates aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG), factors associated with attacks and other disease manifestations of AHP.

Dosing overview

The recommended dose of GIVLAARI is 2.5 mg/kg once monthly by subcutaneous injection. Recommended Dosage The recommended dose of GIVLAARI is 2.5 mg/kg administered via subcutaneous injection once monthly. Dosing is based on actual body weight. Missed Dose Administer GIVLAARI as soon as possible after a missed dose. Resume dosing at monthly intervals following administration of the missed dose. Dose Modification for Adverse Reactions In patients with severe or clinically significant transaminase elevations, who have dose interruption and subsequent improvement, reduce the dose to 1.25 mg/kg once monthly. In patients who resume dosing at 1.25 mg/kg once monthly without recurrence of severe or clinically significant transaminase elevations, the dose may be increased to the recommended dose of 2.5 mg/kg once monthly.
