BACKGROUND: Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is an autosomal recessive disorder with dysregulated glyoxylate metabolism in the liver. Oxalate over-production leads to renal stones, progressive kidney damage and renal failure, with potentially life-threatening systemic oxalosis. Nedosiran is a synthetic RNA interference therapy, designed to reduce hepatic lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to decrease oxalate burden in PH. METHODS: Currently, in the PHYOX8 study (NCT05001269), pediatric participants (2-11 years) with PH1 (N = 15) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 30mL/min/1.73m2 received nedosiran once monthly for 6 months. RESULTS: Urinary oxalate:creatinine (Uox:Ucr) levels reduced by 64% on average. Mean Uox:Ucr reduction was 52% at day 60 and ˃60% at day 180. At one or more study visits, 93.3% (N = 14) of participants reached Uox:Ucr < 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), and 53.3% (N = 8) reached ≤ 1.0 × ULN. Median percent change in plasma oxalate (12.0 µmol/L at baseline) to day 180 was -39.23% (n = 10). Average number of kidney stones per participant remained stable, whilst a 10.1% average decrease in summed surface area was observed. Median percent change from baseline in eGFR was 2.5%, indicating preservation of renal function. CONCLUSIONS: Nedosiran was well tolerated, with only 3 participants experiencing at least one serious adverse event, none considered treatment-related. The incidence of injection site reactions was 6.7% (1/15 participants). In conclusion, nedosiran treatment led to a significant and sustained reduction of Uox levels in children with PH1. These findings support nedosiran treatment in pediatric patients to reduce Uox and shows promise for limiting PH1-related complications.
