– Interim Results in ATTR Patients Show up to 93% Knockdown of TTR with Activity toward Both Wild-Type and Mutant TTR –– Multiple Doses of ALN-TTR02 Generally Safe and Well Tolerated with Once-Every-Four-Week and Once-Every-Three-Week
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. — Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), a leading RNAi therapeutics company, announced today the achievement of positive clinical results from its Phase II trial of ALN-TTR02, an RNAi therapeutic targeting the transthyretin (TTR) gene for the treatment of TTR-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR). The data were presented today at the 2013 Biennial Meeting of the Peripheral Nerve Society, held June 29 – July 3 in St. Malo, France. Interim results show that multiple doses of ALN-TTR02 led to robust and statistically significant (p<0.001) knockdown of serum TTR protein levels of up to 93%. Knockdown of TTR, the disease-causing protein in ATTR, was found to be rapid, dose dependent, and durable, and similar activity was observed toward both wild-type and mutant protein. In addition, ALN-TTR02 was found to be generally safe and well tolerated in this study.
“These new ALN-TTR02 results are a major milestone in our TTR program, where – for the first time in ATTR patients – we have demonstrated robust knockdown of up to 93% of circulating wild-type and mutant TTR in a multi-dose study. The clinical relevance of lowering circulating TTR has been demonstrated in ATTR patients who have benefited from the elimination of mutant TTR through liver transplantation. In addition, we are very encouraged with the continued safety profile of ALN-TTR02 which has now been extended with this experience in ATTR patients and with multi-dose regimens,” said Jared Gollob, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Research at Alnylam. “This Phase II trial continues in patients receiving a once-every-three-week dosing regimen and we plan to share the complete data set at the International Symposium on Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy in Rio de Janeiro this November.”
“I am very encouraged by these new clinical activity and safety data with ALN-TTR02, an RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of ATTR. Specifically, I am impressed with the potent, rapid, and durable knockdown of both mutant and wild-type TTR, which is important since TTR protein reduction in patients with ATTR has the potential to delay or even reverse disease progression with associated clinical benefits,” said Professor David Adams, M.D., Ph.D., Neurology Department Head at CHU de Bicetre (APHP), Le Kremlin-Bicetre Cedex, France. “I very much look forward to the continued advancement of RNAi therapeutics in clinical trials for the treatment of ATTR, as there are currently few options for patients suffering from this debilitating, progressive disease.”

............wow,the volume today was off the charts.Only a .19 move withe that kind of volume?
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Unexpected serious side effects arose in a huge study of a Merck & Co long-acting niacin drug aimed at raising good HDL cholesterol, according to data released on Saturday, possibly adding another nail to the coffin of niacin therapy for heart patients.
Merck has already given up on the drug that combines extended-release niacin with an experimental agent called laropiprant, designed to prevent the uncomfortable facial flushing associated with niacin.
When it was announced that the drug called Tredaptive had failed to prevent heart attacks, strokes, death and other complications in heart patients also taking drugs to lower bad LDL cholesterol, Merck said it would not seek U.S. approval and would stop selling it in the dozens of other countries where it was already available.
A European medical journal last week said the drug caused concerning muscle weakness, especially in Asian patients.
But the results presented on Saturday at the American College of Cardiology scientific meeting in San Francisco painted an even more troubling picture of the medicine.
Researchers found patients taking the Merck drug had significantly higher rates of bleeding - 2.5 percent vs. 1.9 percent - and infections - 8.0 percent vs. 6.6 percent - that they called unexpected.
Significantly higher numbers of patients taking Tredaptive also experienced serious health problems that researchers called known side effects of niacin. Those included new onset diabetes - 9.1 percent vs. 7.3 percent - diabetic complications - 11.1 percent vs. 7.5 percent - and gastrointestinal problems - 4.8 percent vs. 3.8 percent.
Niacin, a form of vitamin B, has been used for many years in the belief that its HDL raising powers would help prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Professor Jane Armitage, who led the study called HPS2-Thrive, called the findings disappointing.
"Still," she said, "finding out a drug is not helping people is just as important as finding that it has benefits."
But Dr. Steven Nissen, head of cardiology at Cleveland Clinic, had some serious criticism about the study's design, execution and conclusions, and was not prepared to write off niacin therapy just yet for patients with very low HDL levels.
"Sometimes large and simple trials are large and sloppy trials," he said.
Among his concerns Nissen cited the very large number of Asians in the study that could have skewed the results because Asians tend to not tolerate high dose niacin. Nissen also said the baseline LDL levels of 66 for patients in the study were unrealistically low and that those with higher LDL levels may have benefited from the drug.
The trial was not designed to show whether the adverse side effects were caused by the niacin or the anti-flushing drug, another potential failing.
But Armitage, a professor at the University of Oxford, said the results were consistent with an earlier failed niacin study that did not include laropiprant and that many of the side effects are known to be associated with niacin.
"We now know that its adverse side effects outweigh the benefits when used with current treatments," she said.
Nissen was not so sure, saying this was not the final nail in the niacin therapy coffin.
"There are some nails in the coffin. But it doesn't absolutely answer the question," he said of the study. "I don't know that it was the niacin. They may be right, but they may be wrong."

ALN-PCS
Alnylam-MDCO Join for ALN-PCS
by Zacks Equity Research
February 05, 2013
Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ALNY - Analyst Report) recently entered into an exclusive global alliance with The Medicines Company (MDCO - Analyst Report) for the development and commercialization of the prior’s ALN-PCS ribo nucleic acid interference (RNAi) therapeutic program.
Currently under development for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, ALN-PCS RNAi is an important program in Alnylam’s “Alnylam 5x15” strategy.
As per the terms of the collaboration agreement, The Medicines Company will be making an upfront cash payment of $25 million to Alnylam. Alnylam is also eligible to receive up to $180 million on the achievement of development and commercial milestones. The company could also receive scaled double-digit royalties from The Medicines Company on global products sales of the ALN-PCS products commercialized under this agreement.
The collaboration includes ALN-PCS02 and ALN-PCSsc. ALN-PCS02 is an intravenous RNAi therapeutic which completed a phase I trial, whereas ALN-PCSsc, a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic, is currently in pre-clinical development.
Meanwhile, Alnylam is expected to continue with its ALN-PCS program for another one to two years to complete certain pre-clinical and phase I studies. The Medicines Company will be responsible for the development of the candidates from phase II onwards. The Medicines Company will also be responsible for the commercialization of the candidates if the ALN-PCS program is successful.
Earlier this year, Alnylam had provided a brief update on its key “Alnylam 5x15” pipeline, which aims to develop RNAi therapeutic candidates and partner programs for the next couple of years. The company is expecting several study results based on its RNAi therapeutic candidates in the next two years.
We believe that the company is progressing well with its “Alnylam 5x15” pipeline. We expect investor focus to stay on the successful development of the pipeline, though most of them are in early stages of development.

About RNAi and Tekmira's LNP
RNAi therapeutics have the potential to treat a broad number of human diseases by "silencing" disease causing genes. The discoverers of RNAi, a gene silencing mechanism used by all cells, were awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. RNAi therapeutics, such as "siRNAs," require delivery technology to be effective systemically. Tekmira believes its LNP technology represents the most widely adopted delivery technology for the systemic delivery of RNAi therapeutics. Tekmira's LNP platform is being utilized in multiple clinical trials by both Tekmira and its partners. Tekmira's LNP technology (formerly referred to as stable nucleic acid-lipid particles or SNALP) encapsulates siRNAs with high efficiency in uniform lipid nanoparticles that are effective in delivering RNAi therapeutics to disease sites in numerous preclinical models. Tekmira's LNP formulations are manufactured by a proprietary method which is robust, scalable and highly reproducible, and LNP-based products have been reviewed by multiple FDA divisions for use in clinical trials. LNP formulations comprise several lipid components that can be adjusted to suit the specific application.
About Tekmira
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing novel RNAi therapeutics and providing its leading lipid nanoparticle delivery technology to pharmaceutical partners. Tekmira has been working in the field of nucleic acid delivery for over a decade and has broad intellectual property covering LNPs.

TKMR- Jim Cramer,1-10-2013
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals (TKMR)
This company is engaged in a biopharmaceutical business focused on advancing novel RNA interference therapeutics and providing its lipid nanoparticle delivery technology to pharmaceutical partners. This stock is trading up 8.8% to $5.40 in recent trading.
Today’s Range: $5.00-$5.44
52-Week Range: $1.77-$6.78
Volume: 74,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 61,738
From a technical perspective, TKMR is bouncing strongly here right off its 50-day moving average of $4.95 with above-average volume. This stock is quickly moving within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once TKMR takes out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $5.35 to $5.78 with high volume. At last check, TKMR have hit an intraday high of $5.45 and volume is just starting to surpass its three-month average action of 61,738 shares.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in TKMR as long as it’s trending above its 50-day at $4.95, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 61,738 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then TKMR will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $6 to $6.78.

interest from Bristol Myers Squib and or Merck as they are staulking TKMR.
Dilution or buyout?
Still no mention of payment from ALNY!
Still no PR in 37 days.

This looks like TKMR is putting out 50 million shares of special TKMR shelf offering.
Similar to NNVC?
That could put TKMR at 64 million shares at this time.
Thoughts?
TKMR has a lot of money in hand. Could this be someone is thinking of buying TKMR? At what price. The Yahoo board member stated $7.00 per share. More shares?

The appointment of this agent for legal matters by Tekmira looks like legal action is approaching.
Could that be a law suit?

Did this stock become a value play overnight along with outstanding biotech potential? Is it really just 14 million shares with float around 10-12 million?

yes it did... with warrants/options it's another 1mm+,but tradeable float is right where you peg it.
The $65mm has been recv'd and once counsel is paid they'll be around $50mm at year end.They get another 10mm from alny next year in milestones and the Ebola contract work for the gov't is done with a margin so that should cover 2013 burn and they should end next year with apprx the same cash balance as this year!
That of course also assumes NO licensing deals over the coming 11 months(bad assumption imo ;) as they now fully control LNP delivery.
The ST traders have exited and the stock is becoming oversold and with each down day moves closer to cash. Yes, I am bullish on this stock especially down here in the $4s= very good value imo. Once the RNAi spark is re lit this stock will do very well.

A good price would be much higher than $7.00 a share.
TKMR was at $7.00 before the court case.
$15.00 to $20.00 would be better.

Alnylam Pharma Offers $7 in Buy-out Offer for Tekmira Coming
sciencebuys by sciencebuys . Dec 12, 2012 1:26 PM . Permalink
As predicted by many as they would get their all of Tekmira's Patents and Licenced technology along with about $4.80 in cash.This would also cancell the $10M payment they will own this company possibly in 2013 and shareholders would accept the bid.Final result would be paying about $1.50 per share for the company.

It could be.
IT should.
The EBOLA PHASE ONE could be close to completion.
The liver tumor testing could be close also.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. rose Wednesday after a Piper Jaffray analyst upgraded the shares, saying the biotechnology company should achieve several milestones in 2013.
THE SPARK: Analyst Edward Tenthoff raised his rating to "Overweight" from "Neutral," saying Alnylam has several achievements to look forward to now that it has settled a licensing dispute with Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corp.
Tenthoff said the company should report data from a mid-stage clinical trial of its drug ALN-TTR02 in the middle of 2013, and said Alnylam hopes to start clinical trials of injected versions of two drugs in 2013.
_______________________________________________________________
Anylam has some middle Clinical Trials going into 2012 and those each passed Clinical Trial Phase One and both passed with TKMR formulas that passed Clinical Phase One Trial!!!!!
TKMR formulas have passed a few Clinical Trials Phase One already.
Many companies get picked up after passing CLINICAL TRIAL PHASE ONE SAFETY IN HUMANS.
If TKMR passes on Clinical Trial Phase One for EBOLA that will be ANOTHER PHASE ONE PASS for TKMR, not the first! There is also TALON and MARQUIBO! (3?)
This also points to the reality the TKMR is in the MONEY LANE at this time.

Historical PR:
Tiny Tekmira Lands $65M Settlement Plus $10M in Near-Term Milestone Payments from Alnylam
On the eve of their transformational legal trial, emerging developer Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation (TKMR) (TKM.TO) announced after the market close on Monday that they had settled all litigation matters between the firm and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ALNY) - whose shares dropped -4.23% After Hours to $15.44 on the news.
Tekmira, which closed Monday`s session with a $70M market cap will receive $65 million within 10 days and is eligible to receive $10 million in near-term milestone payments expected to be received in 2013.
For the speculators who were betting on a positive outcome for the pending trial, the impact should be understandibly positive.
Tekmira is now funded with over $4.00 per share in cash alone thanks to their friends at Alnylam. Perhaps more importantly, observers who know the sector argue that the key settlement now positions Tekmira as the undisputed leading delivery owner of RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics and enables them to soon to have the largest RNAi drug opportunity.
__________________________________________________________________
Before the case TKMR was at $7.00 per share. (after a reverse stock split.)
The case knocked down the price of TKMR to $3.50.
With the case over the price of TKMR could go up 100% by that alone.
TKMR now the undisputed owner of IRNA delivery could be sought after by many PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES.

When the US STOP ORDER hit TKMR what happened to the
PHASE ONE HEALTHY VOLUNTEER PATIENTS that took EBOLA IRNA?
Two months and then what?

Once there was a reverse stock split on TKMR and then TKMR was at
$7.00 a share.
Then. The court case started and the price dropped to $3.50 and then to
Under $2.00.
With. The case over TKMR could rise to over. $7.00.
Then add in $65. M.
Multiply $7.00 X 14 million shares.
Echo20
Moler,
So if you add up $71 million dollars for the whole company and add $65 million to that you do not get $136 million dollars?
When the US gave TKMR a stop order on the $140 million dollar project that did not affect TKMR so much. TKMR could be very stable also.
I thought that being in Canada that the check would take some time to clear. However a statement of receipt of $65 million dollars has not been made so far.
I think that could help.
TKMR has plans to work on 13 projects now and that could be spread too thin and so take too long to get to market and money on any one item.
Management has to take these points into consideration.
Some lottery winners go hog wild on spending.
TKMR needs to be carefull with the new money and not to spend it too soon.
Echo20
The settlement value seems to be already calculated in the price!
