Soleo Health to Administer Alnylam Pharmaceuticals’ GIVLAARI® (givosiran) for the Treatment of Acute Hepatic Porphyria in Adults

FRISCO, Texas – Soleo Health, an innovative leader and national provider of complex specialty pharmacy and infusion services, announced today it has joined the treatment center directory for GIVLAARI® (givosiran), managed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company. This inclusion allows Soleo Health to administer GIVLAARI in adults with Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP).

GIVLAARI is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for AHP in adults. AHP refers to a family of ultra-rare genetic disorders that results in the buildup of neurotoxins, which form due to a defect in the production of heme, a component of hemoglobin. These neurotoxins are believed to be causal for disease manifestations of AHP, including acute attacks and, for some patients, chronic, debilitating symptoms that negatively impact day-to-day life. GIVLAARI is a once-monthly injection for subcutaneous use, which reduces the levels of neurotoxins associated with AHP attacks and other AHP disease manifestations in adults.

Soleo Health offers GIVLAARI injections for subcutaneous use in patients’ homes or at one of its ambulatory infusion centers, supported and administered by its experienced staff, trained on the clinical profile and delivery of GIVLAARI. Soleo Health’s extensive expertise in the provision of specialty pharmaceuticals – particularly in treating rare or ultra-rare diseases – makes the Company an excellent candidate to bring GIVLAARI to patients. Additionally, Soleo Health’s proprietary clinical outcomes program, SoleMetrics®, which collects and produces valuable real-world data over time, will gather intelligent outcomes throughout the patient’s journey.

“We are once again expanding our portfolio of infusible and injectable specialty pharmaceuticals to elevate our levels of quality patient care and therapeutic service offerings. Our role in the administration of GIVLAARI complements the many other rare or ultra-rare drug distribution products and personalized care we provide,” stated Drew Walk, Soleo Health chief executive officer.

“Soleo Health has established an expertise in leveraging SoleMetrics for these specialty pharmaceuticals and will do the same for those adults with AHP through the collection and analysis of critical outcomes data. Broadening our therapeutic portfolio continues to differentiate Soleo Health in the serving of patients with rare and ultra-rare diseases,” Walk added.
