Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Presents ARC-AAT Clinical Data at The International Liver Congress™
The data demonstrated that an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic can achieve deep durable, and dose dependent reductions of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), with the highest dose studied in healthy volunteers achieving near full suppression of the liver production of the AAT protein. In addition, at doses of 2 and 4 mg/kg in AATD patients, ARC-AAT produced similar levels of knockdown as seen in healthy volunteers. These data support the continued advancement of ARO-AAT, Arrowhead's follow-on product candidate that utilizes the company's next generation, proprietary subcutaneously administered delivery vehicle.
