OXLUMO
OXLUMO (lumasiran sodium) is a small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) indicated for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). The therapy is approved for use in both pediatric and adult patients to lower urinary and plasma oxalate levels. By targeting the HAO1 gene, OXLUMO addresses the metabolic pathway responsible for oxalate overproduction in patients with this condition.
How OXLUMO Works
Lumasiran reduces levels of the glycolate oxidase (GO) enzyme by targeting hydroxyacid oxidase 1 (HAO1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in hepatocytes via RNA interference. This reduction in GO enzyme levels decreases the amount of glyoxylate available for oxalate production. Because the GO enzyme is upstream of the deficient enzyme that causes PH1, this mechanism is independent of the specific AGXT gene mutation.
