Selected Recent Events

  • Announced positive interim 48-week liver biopsy results from the AROAAT2002 study, an open-label Phase 2 clinical study of ARO-AAT, the company’s second generation investigational RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic being co-developed with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited as a treatment for the rare genetic liver disease associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). The interim readout demonstrated that ARO-AAT treatment led to:
    • Consistent and substantial reduction in intra-hepatic mutant AAT protein (Z-AAT), both Z-AAT monomer and Z-AAT polymer
    • Consistent decrease in histological globule burden
    • Improvements in fibrosis
    • Improvements in other relevant biomarkers of liver health
  • Arrowhead intends to present additional interim AROAAT2002 data at an upcoming medical congress, pending abstract acceptance.
  • Announced ARO-DUX4, Arrowhead’s first muscle targeted investigational RNAi therapeutic candidate to utilize its proprietary Targeted RNAi Molecule (TRIMTM) platform. ARO-DUX4 is designed to target the gene that encodes human double homeobox 4 (DUX4) protein as a potential treatment for patients with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD).
  • Submitted an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a Phase 2b dose-finding clinical study of ARO-ANG3, the company’s investigational RNAi therapeutic being developed as a treatment for patients with mixed dyslipidemia.
  • Submitted an IND to the FDA for a Phase 2b dose-finding clinical study of ARO-APOC3, the company’s investigational RNAi therapeutic being developed as a treatment for patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

About Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead’s RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.
