Clinical management of PH1 typically involves conservative management, dialysis, and eventual combined kidney and liver transplant (CKLT). Emerging therapeutics for PH1 target key synthesis steps of oxalate production; for example, anti-LDH RNAi Nedosiran inhibits the conversion from glyoxylate to oxalate, the final step in the oxalate synthesis pathway. In this study we sought to determine whether Nedosiran could meaningfully impact the clinical course of a 17-year-old female patient with PH1 and resultant ESRD, awaiting CKLT. METHODS: An Emergency Investigational New Drug (EIND) application was filed and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Local institutional review board (IRB) approval and patient consent were obtained. The patient received monthly abdominal subcutaneous injection from July 2020 to present. Plasma oxalate levels, drawn before and after each dialysis appointment and before each Nedosiran injection, were monitored. RESULTS: Monthly Nedosiran injections led to dramatically decreased plasma oxalate levels, from 55.5 μmol/L to 13.9 μmol/L between July and December 2020 (Figure 1). This resulted in decreased frequency of weekly hemodialysis sessions from six to three, and deferral of a combined kidney and liver transplant offer in favor of continued Nedosiran treatment. No adverse events were reported other than temporary injection site discomfort. Since starting Nedosiran, the patient has not had new nephrolithiasis events. CONCLUSIONS: Nedosiran treatment completely transformed the clinical outcome of our PH1 patient with ESRD. Rationally targeting the oxalate synthesis pathway with Nedosiran thus represents a novel and impactful treatment strategy for PH1 patients with advanced disease. These results warrant further exploration in a larger cohort of PH1 patients to determine generalizability and to identify clinical and molecular characteristics associated with response.
