Givosiran
Givosiran, sold under the brand name Givlaari, is for the treatment of adults with acute hepatic porphyria, a genetic disorder resulting in the buildup of toxic porphyrin molecules which are formed during the production of heme (which helps bind oxygen in the blood).[1][2] Givosiran is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) directed towards 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase, an important enzyme in the production of heme.[3]
