Soleo Health to Administer OXLUMO™ for the Treatment of Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1

FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Soleo Health, an innovative leader and national provider of complex specialty pharmacy services, announced today it has access to OXLUMO™ (lumasiran), managed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company. This access allows Soleo Health to administer OXLUMO to lower patients’ urinary oxalate levels in children and adults with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), an ultra-rare genetic disorder.

OXLUMO is the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved prescription medication for treating PH1 in infants as young as three months of age, children, and adults. PH1 causes the liver to produce an excessive amount of the compound, oxalate. A liver enzyme preventing the accumulation of oxalate is not produced in sufficient quantities to break down oxalate, thus resulting in recurring kidney and urinary stones, which over time, can result in chronic kidney disease and eventually lead to kidney failure. OXLUMO reduces oxalate production, thereby preventing stone formation.

Soleo Health offers OXLUMO injections across its Ambulatory Infusion Centers (AICs) nationwide, supported and administered by its dedicated staff, who are trained on the clinical profile and delivery of services for OXLUMO. The staff includes specially trained interdisciplinary teams, comprising highly experienced therapy-care pharmacists, registered nurses and reimbursement and patient care ambassadors. Soleo Health’s extensive expertise in administering specialty pharmaceuticals – particularly in treating rare or ultra-rare diseases – makes the Company an important resource to bring OXLUMO to patients.

Additionally, Soleo Health’s proprietary clinical outcomes program, SoleMetrics®, which collects and produces valuable real-world data over time, will gather intelligent outcomes from patients receiving OXLUMO throughout their journeys.

“Soleo Health continues to be on the leading edge of bringing patients the latest innovative options in complex specialty pharmacy services. We can now administer OXLUMO, which helps complement the numerous other rare and ultra-rare drug distribution products we deliver with the customized, high-quality clinical care we provide,” explained Drew Walk, Soleo Health chief executive officer.
