Abstract:
Nedosiran (RIVFLOZA™), a once-monthly subcutaneous small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy, is being developed by Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, a Novo Nordisk company, for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria (PH). It reduces oxalate overproduction by inhibiting the expression of the hepatic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme. Nedosiran received its first approval on 29 September 2023 in the USA to lower urinary oxalate levels in children aged ≥ 9 years and adults with PH type 1 (PH1) and relatively preserved kidney function [e.g. estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2]. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of nedosiran leading to this first approval for PH1.
