Givosiran is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic aimed at the treatment of acute hepatic porphyrias (AHP). It reduces the production of aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) in the liver, thereby lowering toxic heme intermediates. It is approved and marketed under the brand name Givlaari.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic profile in adults with acute hepatic porphyria following subcutaneous administration.
