Announcement
Silence Therapeutics plc announced it has completed patient enrollment in the SANRECO Phase 2 study of divesiran, a first-in-class siRNA targeting TMPRSS6, for the treatment of polycythemia vera (PV).
AI Summary
Silence Therapeutics plc announced it has completed patient enrollment in the SANRECO Phase 2 study of divesiran, a first-in-class siRNA therapy targeting TMPRSS6 for polycythemia vera (PV). The global, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 48 phlebotomy-dependent PV patients. Its primary goal is to compare the proportion of patients on divesiran versus placebo who keep their hematocrit below 45% without phlebotomies between weeks 18 and 36. Based on Phase 1 data showing sustained control, divesiran is given every six or 12 weeks.
Topline results are expected in the third quarter of 2026. PV patients face a higher risk of blood clots when hematocrit exceeds 45%, and current options often require frequent blood removal or long-term drugs. By silencing TMPRSS6, divesiran may offer more convenient dosing with fewer side effects. The rapid enrollment underscores strong interest in new PV therapies and highlights the promise of siRNA medicines.
