Alnylam Pharmaceuticals is an American biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics for genetically defined diseases. The company was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals entered a $1.23 billion discovery collaboration with Tenaya Therapeutics to identify up to 15 novel genetic targets for heart disease. The agreement includes $10 million upfront and up to $1.13 billion in milestone payments.
Alnylam reported full-year 2025 profitability and $2.987 billion in global net product revenues, driven by U.S. approval and growth of AMVUTTRA. The company also outlined 2026 pipeline goals and additional HELIOS-B analyses for vutrisiran.
The cardiovascular biologics market is projected to reach $4.23 billion by 2033, while the cell therapy market is expected to reach $5.38 billion by 2032, driven by RNA-based therapies and regulatory approvals.
Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly partnering with biotechs developing RNA-targeting small molecules, driven by advances in RNA structural biology and the success of drugs like Roche's Evrysdi. The approach aims to address "undruggable" targets while offering oral availability advantages.
A review in The Lancet highlights emerging long-acting injectable therapies for hypertension that could reduce treatment to two doses annually instead of daily pills, with several candidates now in late-stage clinical trials.
