Background: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic disorder of hepatic oxalate overproduction leading to kidney failure and systemic oxalosis. Lumasiran is an RNA interference therapeutic approved for lowering urinary oxalate (UOx) and plasma oxalate (POx) in PH1. This Phase 2 open-label extension (OLE) study evaluated the safety and efficacy of long-term lumasiran treatment (up to 54 months) in patients with PH1 who had completed the Phase 1/2 parent study. Methods: The Phase 2 OLE (NCT03350451) included patients with PH1 6 to 64 years old, 24-hour UOx excretion > 0.7 mmol/1.73m2/day, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 45 mL/min/1.73m2 who enrolled within 12 months of parent study completion. Patients initiated subcutaneous lumasiran at parent study dosage. Endpoints included adverse event (AE) incidence (primary) and change over time in efficacy measures, including 24-hour UOx and eGFR. Conclusion: These data represent the longest published follow-up of lumasiran-treated patients with PH1 (ages: 6-43 years) to date. Long-term lumasiran treatment for PH1 had acceptable safety and led to sustained and substantial reduction of UOx with preservation of kidney function.
