Frequently asked questions about ALN-PNP

What is ALN-PNP used for?

ALN-PNP is an investigational small molecule being developed for Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). It is also being studied in patients with a genetic risk factor for these liver conditions. It has not been approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing ALN-PNP?

ALN-PNP is being developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker REGN. Regeneron is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating ALN-PNP in MASLD and NAFLD, including studies that combine the drug with a GLP1R agonist.

What phase is ALN-PNP in?

ALN-PNP is in Phase 2 clinical development. The Phase 2a study, NCT07527910, is recruiting adults with homozygous PNPLA3-related MASLD and is testing ALN-PNP with and without a GLP1R agonist. Earlier Phase 1 studies of ALN-PNP have also been conducted.

What clinical trials is ALN-PNP in?

ALN-PNP has been studied in three registered trials. NCT07527910 is a recruiting Phase 2a study in homozygous PNPLA3-related MASLD. NCT05648214 is a recruiting Phase 1 study in healthy adults and adults with MASLD. NCT06024408 was a completed Phase 1 study in NAFLD and NASH patients with a genetic risk factor.

How many patients have been enrolled in ALN-PNP trials?

Across the ALN-PNP clinical program, total enrollment is 376 participants. The Phase 2a study NCT07527910 plans to enroll 204 patients, the Phase 1 study NCT05648214 plans to enroll 172 participants, and the completed Phase 1 study NCT06024408 enrolled 9 participants. The trials are randomized, double-blind, and controlled.

Is ALN-PNP being studied in combination with other drugs?

Yes. The Phase 2a trial NCT07527910 is evaluating ALN-PNP both with and without a GLP1R agonist in adult patients with homozygous PNPLA3-related MASLD. This design allows researchers to assess ALN-PNP as a monotherapy and in combination with a GLP1 receptor agonist.
