Background

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a genetic disease of oxalate overproduction leading to urolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis (NC), and systemic oxalosis. Lumasiran is the first liver-directed RNA interference therapeutic for PH1 administered to infants and children age ≤6 years. We present final efficacy and safety results through Month (M) 60 of ILLUMINATE-B (NCT03905694), including outcomes in patients (pts) who had kidney stone events (KSEs).

Methods

This Phase 3, open-label, single-arm study enrolled pts with PH1 age <6 years, eGFR >45 mL/min/1.73m2 (age ≥12M) or normal serum creatinine (age <12M), and urinary oxalate:creatinine ratio (UOx:Cr) > the upper limit of normal. Weight-based lumasiran was administered subcutaneously. Results are summarized descriptively.

Results

All pts (N=18) completed the 6M primary analysis, entered the 54M extension, and completed the study at M60. From baseline (BL) to M60, mean (SEM) change in spot UOx:Cr was −74% (4.2), and in plasma oxalate (POx), −25% (12.8). Annual rate of change (slope) in mean eGFR was +0.26 (SEM 0.8) mL/min/1.73m2/y. The most common lumasiran-related adverse events were mild, transient injection site reactions (n=3 pts [17%]). In 14 pts with NC at BL, NC grade (range 0/0-3/3) was improved at M60 in 12 (86%); none worsened. The 4 pts without NC at BL remained NC-free at M60. In the trial, 9 KSEs were reported in only 4 pts, whose spot UOx:Cr change ranged from −74.5% to −93.4% at M60. Two of the pts had 1 KSE each; 1 had BL grade 1/1 NC and improved to complete resolution (0/0) at M60, and 1 had no NC at BL or at M60. The other 2 pts had >1 KSE, and both had grade 3/3 NC at BL; at M60, 1 pt (5 KSEs) had complete NC resolution and the other (2 KSEs) had no change in NC grade.

Conclusion

Infants and young children with PH1 had sustained UOx and POx reductions over 60M of lumasiran treatment in ILLUMINATE-B, with stable eGFR and acceptable safety. NC grade improved in most pts, and most did not have KSEs. The 4 pts with KSEs had UOx reductions and changes in NC grade consistent with those of other trial pts.
