Frequently asked questions about belcesiran

What is belcesiran?

Belcesiran is an investigational RNA therapy being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, a rare genetic disease. It is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy and has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial. It is not yet approved for any indication.

What is belcesiran used for in alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency?

Belcesiran is being developed as a potential treatment for alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. It is an investigational siRNA therapy designed to reduce production of the abnormal protein that causes the disease. It has not been approved for this or any other use.

How does belcesiran work?

Belcesiran is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy. siRNA molecules work by targeting and degrading specific messenger RNA, which reduces production of the corresponding protein. In this case, belcesiran is designed to reduce alpha 1-antitrypsin protein production, addressing the underlying cause of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Who is developing belcesiran?

Belcesiran is being developed by Novo Nordisk A/S, a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NVO. Novo Nordisk is responsible for the clinical development program for belcesiran in alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

What phase is belcesiran in?

Belcesiran is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial and is not currently in any active trials. It is an investigational therapy and has not received FDA approval or approval from any other regulatory agency.

What clinical trials is belcesiran in?

Belcesiran has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT04174118, titled Study of DCR-A1AT in Healthy Adult Volunteers. The trial enrolled 30 healthy adult volunteers in New Zealand and Sweden and was randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. No active trials are currently listed.
