Givosiran 用于治疗儿童急性间歇性卟啉症

Abstract

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) causes neurovisceral symptoms and organ toxicity resulting in acute and chronic health conditions. Treatment has traditionally involved avoiding triggers and utilizing carbohydrates and hemin infusions for acute attacks. Givosiran, an FDA-approved small interfering RNA, has shown benefit in adults in reducing attacks. However, its usage in pediatrics is extremely limited. We present a pediatric patient with AIP, requiring frequent hemin infusions for severe attacks, which have a resolution of her disease state and symptoms with the initiation of givosiran therapy.
