Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Daiichi Sankyo Europe is pleased to announce the initiation of the development of new oral triple combination tablets in Europe of bempedoic acid, ezetimibe, and different doses of a statin (atorvastatin or rosuvastatin), with the potential to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.9 It is well known that combination therapies reduce the pill burden for patients, potentially enhancing treatment adherence and facilitating treatment with a goal of improving cardiovascular outcomes.9,10 “As bempedoic acid and ezetimibe are already approved as a single-dose therapy, the development of an oral triple combination tablet with different doses of a statin, can make it easier for physicians to tailor treatment to the individual needs of each patient,” says Dr. Stefan Seyfried, Vice President and Head Medical Affairs Specialty Medicines, Daiichi Sankyo Europe. “This approach exemplifies our dedication to our motto: ‘we care for every heartbeat’.” “The management of dyslipidaemia

Alnylam to Advance Zilebesiran into Global Phase 3 Cardiovascular Outcomes Trial30.8.2025 17:30:00 EEST | Press release

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today announced plans to initiate a Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) to evaluate the potential of zilebesiran to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. This decision is informed by results from the comprehensive KARDIA Phase 2 program, including KARDIA-3 results presented today as a late-breaking abstract at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in Madrid, Spain. Zilebesiran is an investigational subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic which, in the KARDIA Phase 2 program, has shown reductions in blood pressure by targeting liver-expressed angiotensinogen (AGT), the most upstream precursor in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS), which plays a key role in blood pressure regulation and impacts cardiovascular and renal health. KARDIA-3, the third Phase 2 study in the KARDIA program, evaluated the efficacy and safety of zilebesiran in patients with

BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced positive topline results from a Phase 1/2 study (BGB-11417-201) of sonrotoclax, a next-generation and potentially best-in-class investigational BCL2 inhibitor, in adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), following treatment with a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) and anti-CD20 therapy. BeOne plans to present the full data at an upcoming medical meeting. “For people with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma, the disease is aggressive, the treatment landscape fragmented, and the outcomes unacceptably poor. These topline results for sonrotoclax underscore its potential to deliver meaningful and durable responses and offer the first BCL2 inhibitor for patients with R/R MCL, if approved,” said Lai Wang, PhD, Global Head of R&D, BeOne Medicines. “These data add to the remarkable progress we’ve seen over the past five years in treating B-cel
