Alnylam Vutrisiran HELIOS-B ESC 2026 Prespecified Subgroup Analyses Show Consistent Benefit With or Without Background Tafamidis; French Real-World Amylo'ExTTRa Study

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALNY) presented Saturday August 29 and Sunday August 30, 2026 late-breaking prespecified subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 HELIOS-B trial of vutrisiran (AMVUTTRA, an RNAi therapeutic targeting transthyretin for transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy, ATTR-CM) at ESC Congress 2026 Munich. Vutrisiran demonstrated consistent clinical benefit across all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events in patients with or without background tafamidis (the transthyretin tetramer stabilizer marketed as Vyndaqel/Vyndamax by Pfizer). The HELIOS-B trial had documented 28.2% reduction in all-cause mortality and 32.8% reduction in cardiovascular events with vutrisiran plus stabilizer. Additional analyses examined healthy aging, functional capacity, safety, and outcomes by sex. Alnylam also presented Amylo'ExTTRa, a large real-world analysis from the French National Health Data System characterizing the multisystem burden of ATTR-CM beyond cardiac manifestations. Vutrisiran anchors Alnylam's ATTR franchise alongside inclisiran (Leqvio, licensed to Novartis for hypercholesterolemia) and zilebesiran (Phase 3 ZENITH trial in hypertension).
