Patisiran has not been linked to serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy or to instances of clinically apparent liver injury with symptoms or jaundice.</p></div><div id="Patisiran.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Patisiran (pa&#x0201d; ti sir&#x02019; an) is a synthetic, double-stranded, small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed against the mRNA of transthyretin, a serum protein made in the liver whose major function is transport of vitamin A and thyroxine. Rare mutations in the transthyretin gene result in misfolding of the protein and accumulation of large amyloid deposits of transthyretin molecules most prominently in peripheral nerves and the heart. Patients with inherited transthyretin amyloidosis typically present with polyneuropathy or autonomic dysfunction followed by cardiomyopathy which, if untreated, is usually fatal within 5 to 12 years. Patisiran was developed to reduce production of transthyretin (both the wild type and mutant forms) and prevent accumulation of further amyloid deposits. Patisiran is administered intravenously, and uptake by the liver is facilitated by its packaging in lipid nanoparticles (which also protect against ribonuclease digestion). Once taken up by hepatocytes, the siRNA is cleaved into smaller fragments and separated into single strands that bind and silence the mRNA of transthyretin. In animal models, patisiran reduced transthyretin protein levels in blood and mRNA levels in liver. In trials of patisiran in patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy, intravenous infusions resulted in rapid and sustained reductions in serum transthyretin levels (averaging ~78%) and significant improvements in neuropathy and quality of life scales compared to placebo therapy. Patisiran was approved for use in the United States in 2018 for adults with transthyretin amyloidosis and polyneuropathy. It is under evaluation for efficacy and safety in patients with cardiomyopathy due to transthyretin amyloidosis. Patisiran is available in a lipid complex solution in single dose vials of 10 mg in 5 mL (2 mg/mL) under the brand name Onpattro. The recommended dose regimen is 0.3 mg/kg (to a maximal dose 30 mg) administered intravenously every 3 weeks. Administration by a health care provider is required as is premedication with corticosteroids, acetaminophen, antihistamines and an H2 blocker. Patisiran is generally well tolerated the most common side effects being injection site reactions. Other potential adverse events include peripheral edema, fatigue, arthralgias, diarrhea and musculoskeletal pains. In preregistration studies, 3% of patisiran treated patients developed anti-drug antibodies, but their presence was not associated with decreased efficacy or safety. Because patisiran reduces serum transthyretin levels, it also reduces serum vitamin A levels and vitamin A supplementation is recommended using doses of the recommended daily allowance.</p></div><div id="Patisiran.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In preregistration trials, patisiran therapy was well tolerated except for infusion reactions. Patients with amyloidosis often have hepatomegaly and mild serum enzyme elevations. Serum aminotransferase elevations arose in approximately 20% of patisiran- vs 10% of placebo-recipients, but the elevations were usually mild (less than 5 times ULN), transient and without accompanying symptoms or jaundice. Since its approval, there have been no published reports of liver injury attributed to patisiran therapy. Thus, patisiran is an unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury, although it has had limited widescale clinical use.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Patisiran.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The possible cause of hepatic injury from patisiran or other siRNA therapeutics is not known. Patisiran has been linked to mild-to-moderate, transient serum aminotransferase elevations that usually resolve spontaneously without dose modification. The cause of these abnormalities is unknown, but patients with amyloidosis can have hepatomegaly and minor serum enzyme elevations while on no therapy. Alternatively, the serum ALT and AST elevations may relate to the lipid complex used to improve hepatic update of the siRNA. Patisiran, like other RNA therapeutic agents, is metabolized intracellularly by nucleases and is not a substrate of cytochrome P450 enzymes or hepatic transporters.</p></div><div id="Patisiran.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Patisiran has not been linked to clinically significant liver test abnormalities or to clinically apparent liver injury and regular monitoring of routine liver tests is not recommended. The requirements for intravenous administration and premedication makes management of therapy challenging.</p><p>Drug Class: Genetic Disorder Agents, siRNA and Antisense Agents</p><p>Other Therapeutic siRNA-based Agents: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Givosiran/">Givosiran</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Inclisiran/">Inclisiran</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Lumasiran/">Lumasiran</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Vutrisiran/">Vutrisiran</a></p><p>Other Drugs for Transthyretin-Mediated Amyloidosis: <a href="/books/n/livertox/Acoramidis/">Acoramidis</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Eplontersen/">Eplontersen</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Tafamidis/">Tafamidis</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Vutrisiran/">Vutrisiran</a></p></div></div><div id="Patisiran.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Patisiran_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
