The paper, titled “Safety and Efficacy of RNAi Therapy for Transthyretin Amyloidosis” (Coelho et al., N Engl J Med 2013;369:819-29), shows that RNAi therapeutics targeting transthyretin (TTR) achieved rapid, dose-dependent, durable, and specific knockdown of TTR, the disease-causing protein in TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR). These results document the most robust proof of concept for RNAi therapy in man to date, including knockdown of serum TTR protein levels of up to 94% after just a single dose of drug.
