Givlaari (Givosiran) for Acute Hepatic Porphyria
Givlaari is a subcutaneously administered ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) agent that inhibits delta-aminolevulinate synthase 1 (ALAS1) synthesis, a key regulator of the heme biosynthetic pathway in the liver. Givlaari is believed to reduce ALAS1 levels, thereby decreasing delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG) levels. Decreasing ALA and PBG levels to n…
