PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (also referred to as Alnylam, we, our or us) is a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics based on ribonucleic acid interference, or RNAi. RNAi is a naturally occurring biological pathway within cells for sequence-specific silencing and regulation of gene expression. By harnessing the RNAi pathway, we have developed a new class of innovative medicines, known as RNAi therapeutics. RNAi therapeutics are comprised of small interfering RNA, or siRNA, and function upstream of conventional medicines by potently silencing messenger RNA, or mRNA, that encode for proteins implicated in the cause or pathway of disease, thus preventing them from being made. We believe this is a revolutionary approach with the potential to transform the care of patients with rare and prevalent diseases. To date, our efforts to advance this revolutionary approach have yielded the approval of five first-in-class RNAi-based medicines, ONPATTRO® (patisiran), AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran), GIVLAARI® (givosiran), OXLUMO® (lumasiran) and Leqvio® (inclisiran).

Our research and development strategy is to target genetically validated genes that have been implicated in the cause or pathway of human disease. We utilize a N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugate approach or lipid nanoparticle (LNP) to enable hepatic delivery of siRNAs. For delivery to the central nervous system, or CNS, and the eye (ocular delivery), we are utilizing an alternative conjugate approach based on a hexadecyl (C16) moiety as a lipophilic ligand. During 2022, we also advanced approaches for heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue delivery of siRNAs. Our focus is on clinical indications where there is a high unmet need, a genetically validated target, early biomarkers for the assessment of clinical activity in Phase 1 clinical studies, and a definable path for drug development, regulatory approval, patient access and commercialization.

In early 2021, we launched our Alnylam P5x25 strategy, which focuses on our planned transition to a top-tier biotech company, as measured by market capitalization, by the end of 2025. With Alnylam P5x25, we aim to deliver transformative rare and prevalent disease medicines for patients around the world through sustainable innovation, while delivering exceptional financial performance. Specifically, we intend to end 2025 with the following profile:

Patients: Over 0.5 million on our RNAi therapeutics globally

Products: Six or more marketed products in rare and prevalent diseases

Pipeline: Over 20 clinical programs, with 10 or more in late stages and four or more INDs per year

Performance: ≥40% revenue CAGR (compound annual growth rate) through YE 2025

Profitability: Achieve sustainable non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) profitability within the period

We ended 2022 making meaningful progress on these goals, and currently have five marketed products and more than ten clinical programs, including several in late-stage development, across four Strategic Therapeutic Areas, or “STArs:” Genetic Medicines; Cardio-Metabolic Diseases; Hepatic Infectious Diseases; and CNS/Ocular Diseases. Four of our marketed products are within the Genetic Medicines STAr, ONPATTRO, GIVLAARI, OXLUMO and AMVUTTRA. ONPATTRO is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis, or hATTR amyloidosis, in adults and has also been approved in the European Union, or EU, for the treatment of hATTR amyloidosis in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy, in Japan for the treatment of transthyretin, or TTR, type familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy, and in multiple additional countries, including Brazil. In August 2022, we reported positive results from the APOLLO-B Phase 3 study of patisiran (the non-branded name of ONPATTRO) in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy, and in December 2022, we submitted a supplemental New Drug Application, or sNDA, to the FDA for ONPATTRO as a potential treatment of the cardiomyopathy of ATTR amyloidosis. In February 2023, the FDA accepted the sNDA for filing and set an action date of October 8, 2023 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA. The FDA also indicated in the sNDA filing communication letter that it is planning to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss the application and that it had not identified any potential review issues at such time. GIVLAARI is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with acute hepatic porphyria, or AHP, in the EU for the treatment of AHP in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older, and in several additional countries, including Brazil, Canada, Switzerland and Japan. Regulatory filings for givosiran (the non-branded drug name for GIVLAARI) in other territories are pending or planned during 2023 and beyond. OXLUMO is approved in the U.S. and EU for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria type 1, or PH1, in all age groups, and in several additional countries including Brazil and Switzerland. In October 2022, we announced that the FDA approved our sNDA for lumasiran (the non-branded drug name for OXLUMO), for the treatment of PH1 to lower urinary oxalate and plasma oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients. Regulatory filings in other territories are pending and additional filings are planned during 2023 and beyond. In June 2022, we received regulatory approval for AMVUTTRA in the U.S. for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hATTR amyloidosis in adults. In September 2022, AMVUTTRA was granted marketing authorization in Europe and the United Kingdom, or UK, for the treatment of hATTR amyloidosis in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy, and in Japan for the treatment of TTR type familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. In December 2022, AMVUTTRA was approved in Brazil for the treatment of

hATTR amyloidosis in adults. Regulatory filings in other territories are currently under review and additional filings are planned for 2023.

Our fifth product, Leqvio (inclisiran), is being developed and commercialized by our partner Novartis AG, or Novartis, and has received marketing authorization from the European Commission, or EC, for the treatment of adults with hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia and from the FDA as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy for the treatment of adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or HeFH, or clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or ASCVD, who require additional lowering of LDL-C. As of the end of January 2023, Leqvio has been approved in 70 countries.

In addition to our marketed products, we have multiple late-stage investigational programs advancing toward potential commercialization. These programs include our wholly owned programs: patisiran (the non-branded drug name for ONPATTRO) for the treatment of transthyretin amyloidosis, or ATTR amyloidosis, (wild-type or hereditary) with cardiomyopathy; vutrisiran (the non-branded drug name for AMVUTTRA) for the treatment of ATTR (wild-type or hereditary) amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy; as well as fitusiran for the treatment of hemophilia, which is being advanced by our partner Genzyme Corporation, a Sanofi Company, or Sanofi; and cemdisiran for the treatment of complement-mediated diseases, where our partner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Regeneron, is advancing cemdisiran in combination with pozelimab in Phase 3 studies in myasthenia gravis and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

As part of our Alnylam P5x25 strategy, we have multiple drivers of future growth, including the development of transformative prevalent disease medicines. In addition to Leqvio, we are advancing zilebesiran, an investigational, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting angiotensinogen, or AGT, in development for the treatment of hypertension. In November 2021, we reported positive interim data from the ongoing Phase 1 study of zilebesiran, and initiated the KARDIA Phase 2 clinical studies for zilebesiran. KARDIA-1 is designed to evaluate zilebesiran as a monotherapy across different doses administered quarterly and biannually. KARDIA-2 will evaluate the safety and efficacy of zilebesiran administered biannually as a concomitant therapy in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a standard of care antihypertensive medication. Topline results from the KARDIA-1 and KARDIA-2 Phase 2 studies are anticipated in mid-2023 and at or around year-end 2023, respectively.

In further support of our Alnylam P5x25 strategy and in view of our evolving risk profile, we remain focused on the continued evolution of our global infrastructure, including key objectives such as optimizing our global structure for execution in key markets, enhancing performance consistent with our values, and continuing to strengthen our culture. We maintain focus on our global compliance program to drive its evolution and enhancement in view of the Alnylam P5x25 strategy. Building from our global Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, our compliance program is designed to empower our employees and those with whom we work to execute on our strategy consistent with our values and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and to mitigate risk. Comprised of components such as risk assessment and monitoring; policies, procedures, and guidance; training and communications; dedicated resources; and systems and processes supporting activities such as third party relationships and investigations and remediation; our program and related controls are built to enhance our business processes, structures, and controls across our global operations, and to empower ethical decision making.

Based on our expertise in RNAi therapeutics and broad intellectual property estate, we have formed alliances with leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies to support our development and commercialization efforts, including Regeneron, Novartis (which acquired our partner The Medicines Company, or MDCO, in 2020), Sanofi, Vir Biotechnology, Inc., or Vir, Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (acquired by Novo Nordisk A/S, or Novo Nordisk, in December 2021), or Dicerna, and PeptiDream, Inc., or PeptiDream.

Convertible Senior Notes

In September 2022, we issued $1.04 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027, or Notes. The Notes will mature on September 15, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will bear interest from September 15, 2022 at a rate of 1.00% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2023. Before June 15, 2027, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes in certain circumstances and during specified periods. From and after June 15, 2027, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. We will settle any conversions of Notes by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at our election.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we paid $118.6 million, including expenses, to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain initial purchasers of the Notes or their respective affiliates and certain other financial institutions, or capped call transactions. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes in the event that the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, is greater than the strike price of the capped call transactions, which initially corresponds to the conversion price of the Notes, and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments generally similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Notes. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $424.00 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 100% based on the last reported sale price of our common stock of $212.00 per share on September 12, 2022,

Table of Contents

and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution upon conversion of the Notes to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.

We used approximately $762.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings, inclusive of prepayment premiums, under our credit agreement with Blackstone, and intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the imposition of various responses, including government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions, and other public health safety measures to reduce the spread of disease. We continue to closely monitor the spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and plan to continue taking steps to identify and mitigate the adverse impacts on, and risks to, our business posed by its spread and actions taken by governmental and health authorities to address the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, results of operations or financial condition will depend on future developments, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, new strains of the virus, including any future variants that may emerge, which may impact rates of infection and vaccination efforts, developments or perceptions regarding the safety of vaccines, and any additional preventative and protective actions taken to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others. The estimates of the impact on the Company’s business may change based on new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. For additional information related to the actual or potential impacts of COVID-19 on our business, please read Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RNAi Therapeutics – A New Class of Innovative Medicines

Overview of RNAi Therapeutics

In recent years, a tremendous amount of progress has been made in effectively delivering RNAi therapeutics to targeted organs and cells, and we believe Alnylam has been the leader of this advancement. We believe this success will enable us to achieve our Alnylam P5x25 strategy under which we expect to sustainably and organically create and commercialize transformative rare and prevalent disease medicines benefiting patients around the world while delivering strong financial performance, resulting in a leading biotech profile by the end of 2025.

Early efforts focused on delivery of RNAi therapeutics utilizing LNPs, where siRNA molecules are encapsulated in specific lipid-based formulations. This technology enables systemic delivery with intravenous drug administration and is associated with potent, rapid and durable target gene silencing and an encouraging tolerability profile in clinical studies conducted to date, as well as in our commercial experience. Our first commercial product, ONPATTRO, is formulated utilizing LNPs.

In parallel, we have advanced proprietary technology that conjugates a sugar molecule called GalNAc to the siRNA molecule. This simpler delivery approach enables more convenient, subcutaneous administration of our drug candidates directed to liver expressed target genes, a key aspect of our platform. Results from our Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry, or ESC, GalNAc-conjugate delivery platform have demonstrated a durability of effect that we believe, based on our clinical results, supports once-monthly, once-quarterly, and potentially, bi-annual subcutaneous dose regimens. Due to this increased potency and durability, as well as a wide therapeutic index, this conjugate platform has become our primary approach for drug development and is leveraged and we believe, strongly validated by, AMVUTTRA, GIVLAARI, OXLUMO, and Leqvio, our more recently approved medicines. Our next generation Enhanced Stabilization Chemistry-Plus, or ESC+, GalNAc-conjugates utilize advanced design features to further improve specificity, while maintaining potency and durability, further improving our already wide therapeutic index by up to six-fold. Our first wave of investigational RNAi therapeutics based on this ESC+ design, zilebesiran (formerly ALN-AGT), ALN-HBV02 and ALN-HSD are in the clinic, with what we believe are encouraging initial results.

Our platform enhancements have also provided a strong foundation for pursuing a conjugate-based approach to extrahepatic delivery, including delivery to the brain and spinal cord, as well as ocular delivery. In July 2022, our publication in Nature Biotechnology showcased data utilizing an alternative conjugate approach based on a hexadecyl (C16) moiety as a lipophilic ligand, with proof-of-concept, or POC, demonstrated in rodent and non-human primates. C16 conjugates provide robust CNS knockdown with wide biodistribution and long duration of action, and this technology enabled our landmark collaboration with Regeneron for the advancement of RNAi therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing therapeutic targets in the eye and CNS, in addition to a select number of targets in the liver. We are continuing to advance other extrahepatic delivery approaches, including delivery to muscle and adipose cells. In addition, we are exploring peptide and antibody-based approaches for targeted siRNA delivery to new tissues in partnership with PeptiDream to discover and develop peptide-siRNA conjugates for targeted delivery of RNAi therapeutics to a broader range of extrahepatic tissues.

Additional platform advancements that we are working on include our IKARIATM platform harboring chemistry innovations that enable robust target knockdown with an annual dosing regimen, and an additional technology platform, GEMINITM, that we believe has the potential to simultaneously silence two unique gene transcripts using a single chemical entity. We believe that these platforms, could have potential applications in cardiometabolic, CNS, oncologic, and viral diseases.

Finally, we continue to leverage human genetics to advance our efforts to bring innovative medicines to patients. We have established a relationship with the UK BioBank to support the sourcing of novel, genetically validated targets and secure access to databases of genetic information. In 2022, we published a manuscript in Nature Communications, revealing that loss of function variants in the hepatokine gene INHBE protect against abdominal obesity and can thus serve as a potential therapeutic target for cardiometabolic disease. The discovery leveraged sequencing data from more than 360,000 individuals in the UK Biobank. In addition, our partnership with Our Future Health furthers our investment in human genetics supporting the design and delivery of the research program to recruit up to five million adults from across the UK. Coupled with our proven ability to uncover novel gene targets, we believe our approach, investments and commitment to genetically validated targets has the potential to increase our success rate, streamline clinical trials and speed the development of precision medicines for patients with both rare and prevalent diseases.

We believe RNAi therapeutics represent a simplified and efficient new class of innovative medicines. We have achieved human POC in multiple clinical trials of our investigational candidates and now have five commercially approved products, validating our approach to drug development. Moreover, we believe that our reproducible and modular platform will support our Alnylam P5x25 strategy under which we expect to sustainably and organically create and commercialize transformative rare and prevalent disease medicines benefiting patients around the world while delivering strong financial performance, resulting in a leading biotech profile by the end of 2025.

Our TTR Franchise

About Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR)

ATTR amyloidosis is a rare, serious, life-threatening, multisystem disease encompassing hATTR amyloidosis and wild-type ATTR, or wtATTR, amyloidosis, which result from either hereditary (genetic variant in TTR gene) or nonhereditary (ageing) causes, respectively. In ATTR amyloidosis, misfolded TTR proteins accumulate as amyloid fibrils in multiple organs and tissue types. hATTR amyloidosis can include sensory and motor neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy and cardiac symptoms and is a major unmet medical need with significant morbidity and mortality, affecting approximately 50,000 people worldwide. The median survival is 4.7 years following diagnosis, with a reduced survival (3.4 years) for patients presenting with cardiomyopathy. wtATTR amyloidosis predominantly manifests as cardiomyopathy and heart failure symptoms, although patients may experience other manifestations due to extra-cardiac amyloid deposition. The disease is estimated to impact 200,000 to 300,000 people worldwide.

ONPATTRO (patisiran)

ONPATTRO (patisiran) is an intravenously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting TTR. It is designed to target and silence TTR mRNA, thereby reducing the production of TTR protein before it is made. ONPATTRO blocks the production of TTR in the liver, reducing its accumulation in the body’s tissues to halt or improve the progression of disease.

Patisiran has received Orphan Drug Designations in the U.S., EU and Japan; specific Orphan Drug Designations vary by country/region.

ONPATTRO (patisiran) – hATTR Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy

ONPATTRO is the first ever FDA-approved RNAi therapeutic and based on data from the APOLLO Phase 3 study, it became our first product to receive marketing approval. In the U.S. and Canada, ONPATTRO is indicated for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hATTR amyloidosis in adults. In the EU, Switzerland, Brazil and Israel, ONPATTRO is indicated for the treatment of hATTR amyloidosis in adults with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy, and in Japan, ONPATTRO is indicated for the treatment of TTR type familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy.

Patisiran (the non-branded name for ONPATTRO) was also evaluated in a Phase 4 study in patients with polyneuropathy of hATTR amyloidosis due to a T60A or V122I variant. The data were presented in September 2022 at the 18th International Symposium on Amyloidosis.

Patisiran – ATTR Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy

In December 2022, we submitted an sNDA to the FDA for ONPATTRO for the treatment cardiomyopathy of ATTR amyloidosis based on the positive results from the APOLLO-B Phase 3 study. In February 2023, the sNDA was accepted for filing and the FDA set an action date of October 8, 2023 under the PDUFA. The FDA also indicated in the sNDA filing communication letter that it is planning to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss the application and that it had not identified any potential review issues at such time. An sNDA submission is also planned in Brazil in 2023, however, we do not plan to pursue label expansion in other regions.

APOLLO-B Phase 3 Study

In September 2019, we initiated APOLLO-B, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of patisiran in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy. The study enrolled 360 adult patients with ATTR amyloidosis (hereditary or wild-type) with cardiomyopathy at 69 sites in 21 countries. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 0.3 mg/kg of patisiran or placebo intravenously administered every three weeks over a 12-month treatment period. Twenty-five percent of patients enrolled were receiving on-label commercially available tafamidis at baseline. After 12 months of treatment, the primary endpoint of change from baseline in six-minute walk test, or 6-MWT, was evaluated, as well as other secondary and exploratory endpoints.

◦Efficacy and Safety Results:

In August 2022, we announced positive topline results from the APOLLO-B study and in September 2022 we reported more fulsome results at the 18th International Symposium on Amyloidosis, announcing that APOLLO-B met the primary endpoint of change from baseline in the 6-MWT at 12 months compared to placebo with a median difference of 14.7 meters (p-value 0.0162) favoring patisiran. The study also met its first secondary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit on health status and quality of life, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary score, compared to placebo with least squares mean difference of 3.7 points (p-value 0.0397) favoring patisiran. The study also included additional secondary composite outcomes endpoints. A non-significant result (p-value 0.0574) was found on the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, frequency of cardiovascular events, and change from baseline in 6-MWT over 12 months compared to placebo. As a result, formal statistical testing was not performed on the final two composite endpoints. During the 12 month placebo-controlled primary analysis period, patisiran also demonstrated an encouraging safety and tolerability profile in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy, including no cardiac safety concerns relative to placebo. The majority of adverse events, or AEs, were mild or moderate in severity. Treatment emergent AEs occurring in 5% or more patients in the patisiran group and observed at least 3% more commonly than in the placebo group included infusion-related reactions (12.2% vs 9.0%), arthralgia (7.7% vs 4.5%), and muscle spasms (6.6% vs 2.2%). In the safety analysis there were 5 deaths (2.8%) observed in patisiran-treated patients and 8 deaths (4.5%) observed in the placebo group. The safety profile in APOLLO-B was consistent with what was observed in our Phase 3 APOLLO study and in postmarketing use of ONPATTRO. Based on these positive data, in December 2022, we submitted an sNDA to the FDA for ONPATTRO for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of ATTR amyloidosis.

AMVUTTRA (vutrisiran)

AMVUTTRA (vutrisiran) is a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting TTR. It is designed to target and silence TTR mRNA, thereby reducing the production of TTR protein before it is made. AMVUTTRA utilizes our ESC+ delivery platform, designed for increased potency and high metabolic stability to allow for quarterly subcutaneous administration.

Vutrisiran has received Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S., EU and Japan; specific Orphan Drug Designations vary by country/region.

AMVUTTRA (vutrisiran) – hATTR Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy

12

Table of Contents

In June 2022, AMVUTTRA was approved by the FDA for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hATTR amyloidosis in adults based on positive 9-month results from the HELIOS-A Phase 3 study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of AMVUTTRA in patients with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. In September 2022, AMVUTTRA was approved in the EU and UK for the treatment of hATTR amyloidosis in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy, and in Japan for the treatment of TTR type familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. In December 2022, AMVUTTRA was approved in Brazil for the treatment of hATTR amyloidosis in adults. Regulatory filings in other territories are currently under review and additional filings are planned for 2023.

HELIOS-A Phase 3 Study

Initiated in late 2018, the HELIOS-A Phase 3 trial is a randomized, open-label Phase 3 study in hATTR amyloidosis patients. The study enrolled 164 patients with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy at 57 sites in 22 countries. Patients were randomized 3:1 to receive either a 25 mg subcutaneous injection of vutrisiran once every three months or 0.3 mg/kg intravenous infusion of patisiran once every three weeks as a reference comparator for 18 months. The primary endpoint is the mean change from baseline in the modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7, or mNIS+7, at nine months as compared to the external placebo control arm of the previously completed APOLLO Phase 3 study of patisiran, upon which the approval of ONPATTRO was based. The two secondary endpoints at nine months were changes in quality of life assessed by the Norfolk Quality of Life Questionnaire-Diabetic Neuropathy, or Norfolk QoL-DN, score and gait speed assessed by the timed 10-meter walk test, both compared to external placebo. Changes from baseline in NT-proBNP were evaluated as an exploratory endpoint at nine months. Additional secondary and exploratory endpoints were evaluated at 18 months. In addition, following the 18-month treatment period, all patients were eligible to receive vutrisiran for an additional 18 months as part of the randomized treatment extension where they were randomized to receive either 25mg vutrisiran once quarterly or 50mg vutrisiran once every six months.

◦Efficacy and Safety Results:

At 9 months, vutrisiran met primary and all secondary endpoints, with statistically significant improvements in neuropathy, quality of life (QoL), and gait speed, relative to placebo.

In February 2023, we reported topline results from the HELIOS-A randomized treatment extension, or RTE, portion of the study, through month 9. Non-inferiority of the 50mg biannual regimen (vs 25mg quarterly) was established, as demonstrated by mean serum TTR reduction over 9 months. Vutrisiran also continued to demonstrate an acceptable safety profile. In the RTE study there were 6 deaths, of which 5 occurred on the 50 mg biannual arm and 1 occurred on the 25 mg quarterly arm, after the patient dropped out of the study. None was considered related to study drug. We also announced a strategic decision not to pursue regulatory submissions with the biannual dosing data given the dynamics of serum TTR recovery observed toward the end of the biannual dosing interval, the strong commercial performance of the existing vutrisiran 25mg quarterly regimen, and the opportunity to focus on continued innovation with ALN-TTRsc04.

Vutrisiran – ATTR Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy

Vutrisiran is also in development as a potential treatment for patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy in the ongoing HELIOS-B Phase 3 study.

HELIOS-B Phase 3 Study

The HELIOS-B Phase 3 trial, initiated in late 2019, is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran in patients with ATTR amyloidosis (wild-type or hereditary) with cardiomyopathy. Patients were randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive 25 mg of vutrisiran or placebo administered as a subcutaneous injection once every three months for up to 36 months. The primary endpoint will evaluate the efficacy of vutrisiran versus placebo on the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events at 30 months. Additional secondary and exploratory endpoints will also be evaluated. Concomitant use of on-label commercially available tafamidis is not prohibited. The study protocol includes an optional interim efficacy analysis to be conducted at our discretion. In August 2021, we announced full patient enrollment in the HELIOS-B study. Enrollment was completed significantly ahead of schedule, with 655 ATTR amyloidosis patients across 123 activated sites in 33 countries. In October 2022, we announced that we do not plan to conduct the optional interim analysis for the HELIOS-B Phase 3 trial. Topline results from the HELIOS-B study are expected in early 2024.

Vutrisiran – Stargardt Disease

In late 2022, we announced that we would not initiate a Phase 3 study of vutrisiran in Stargardt Disease by year-end, as previously communicated, as we continue to evaluate the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Our Other Marketed Products

GIVLAARI (givosiran) — Acute Hepatic Porphyria (AHP)

Our RNAi therapeutic, GIVLAARI (givosiran), is the world’s first-ever GalNAc-conjugate RNA therapeutic to be approved. GIVLAARI works by specifically reducing induced liver aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 mRNA, leading to

Table of Contents

reduction of toxins associated with attacks and other disease manifestations of AHP. In the U.S., GIVLAARI (givosiran) injection for subcutaneous use is approved for the treatment of adults with AHP. GIVLAARI was reviewed by the FDA under Priority Review and had previously been granted Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug Designations in the U.S. In March 2020, the EC granted marketing authorization in the EU for GIVLAARI for the treatment of AHP in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older. GIVLAARI was reviewed under accelerated assessment by the EMA and had previously been granted PRIME and Orphan Drug Designations in the EU. We received additional marketing authorizations for GIVLAARI for the treatment of AHP in adults in Brazil, Canada, and marketing authorizations for GIVLAARI for the treatment of AHP in adults and adolescents in Japan, Argentina, Switzerland and Taiwan. We have also filed for regulatory approval for givosiran (the non-branded drug name for GIVLAARI) in Israel, Colombia and Australia, and additional regulatory filings are pending or planned in 2023 and beyond.

AHP refers to a family of ultra-rare, genetic diseases characterized by potentially life-threatening attacks and, for some patients, chronic manifestations that negatively impact daily functioning and quality of life. AHP is comprised of four types: acute intermittent porphyria, hereditary coproporphyria, variegate porphyria, and aminolevulinic acid dehydratase-deficiency porphyria. We estimate there are approximately 3,000 AHP patients diagnosed in the U.S. and EU with active disease. Each type of AHP results from a genetic defect leading to deficiency in one of the enzymes of the heme biosynthesis pathway in the liver. AHP disproportionately impacts women of working and childbearing age, and symptoms of the disease vary widely. Severe, unexplained abdominal pain is the most common symptom, which can be accompanied by limb, back or chest pain, nausea, vomiting, confusion, anxiety, seizures, weak limbs, constipation, diarrhea, or dark or reddish urine. The nonspecific nature of AHP signs and symptoms can often lead to misdiagnoses of other more common conditions such as viral gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome and appendicitis. Consequently, patients with AHP can wait up to 15 years for a confirmed diagnosis. In addition, long-term complications and comorbidities of AHP can include hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or liver disease including hepatocellular carcinoma.

OXLUMO (lumasiran )— Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1)

OXLUMO is an RNAi therapeutic targeting hydroxyacid oxidase 1, or HAO1, developed for the treatment of PH1. HAO1 encodes glycolate oxidase, or GO, an enzyme upstream of the disease-causing defect in PH1. OXLUMO works by degrading HAO1 mRNA and reducing the synthesis of GO, which inhibits hepatic production of oxalate, the toxic metabolite responsible for the clinical manifestations of PH1. OXLUMO utilizes our ESC-GalNAc-conjugate technology, which enables subcutaneous dosing with increased potency and durability and a wide therapeutic index.

In November 2020, the EC granted marketing authorization for OXLUMO (lumasiran) for the treatment of PH1 in all age groups, following a positive Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, opinion. OXLUMO was previously granted an Accelerated Assessment and a PRIME Designation by the EMA and an Orphan Designation in the EU. Also, in November 2020, OXLUMO (lumasiran) subcutaneous injection was approved by the FDA for the treatment of PH1 to lower urinary oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients. OXLUMO was reviewed by the FDA under Priority Review and had previously been granted Breakthrough Therapy, Orphan Drug, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations. With the approval of OXLUMO, the FDA granted us a pediatric rare disease priority review voucher that entitles us to designate a single new drug application to qualify for a priority review in the future. During 2021 and 2022, we received additional marketing authorizations for OXLUMO in Brazil, the UK, Switzerland, Canada and Israel, and regulatory filings in other territories are pending and additional filings are planned for 2023 and beyond.

PH1 is an ultra-rare genetic disease that affects an estimated one to three individuals per million in the U.S. and Europe. PH1 is characterized by oxalate overproduction in the liver. The excess oxalate results in the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys and urinary tract and can lead to the formation of painful and recurrent kidney stones and nephrocalcinosis. Renal damage is caused by a combination of tubular toxicity from oxalate, calcium oxalate deposition in the kidneys, and urinary obstruction by calcium oxalate stones. PH1 is associated with a progressive decline in kidney function, which exacerbates the disease as the excess oxalate can no longer be effectively excreted, resulting in subsequent accumulation and deposition of oxalate in bones, eyes, skin, and heart, leading to severe illness and death. Management options prior to availability of OXLUMO were limited to hyperhydration, crystallization inhibitors and, in a minority of patients with a specific genotype, pyridoxine (vitamin B6). These measures do not adequately address oxalate overproduction but instead help to delay inevitable progression to kidney failure and the need for intensive dialysis as a bridge to a dual or sequential liver/kidney transplant. Liver transplantation is the only intervention that addresses the underlying metabolic defect, but is associated with high morbidity and mortality, and life-long immunosuppression. Prior to the approval of OXLUMO, there were no approved pharmaceutical therapies for PH1.

The regulatory approvals of OXLUMO in the U.S. and EU were based on positive results from both the ILLUMINATE-A and ILLUMINATE-B Phase 3 pivotal studies of lumasiran in patients with PH1. Lumasiran was also evaluated in ILLUMINATE-C – a global Phase 3 study in PH1 patients of all ages with advanced PH1. Based on the positive six-month efficacy and safety results of this study, in October 2022, we announced that the FDA approved a label expansion for OXLUMO, which is now indicated for the treatment of PH1 to lower urinary oxalate and plasma oxalate levels in pediatric and adult patients. In addition, the CHMP of the EMA delivered a positive opinion recommending variation to the marketing authorization of OXLUMO based on ILLUMINATE-C data from patients with advanced PH1 in September 2022.

Table of Contents

In December 2022, we announced that we discontinued the proof-of-concept Phase 2 study of lumasiran in patients with recurrent kidney stone disease that was initiated in December 2021 due to lower than anticipated levels of elevated urinary oxalate in that patient population.

Leqvio (inclisiran) — Hypercholesterolemia

Our RNAi therapeutic Leqvio, developed and commercialized by our partner, Novartis, is the first and only siRNA therapy (or RNAi therapeutic) to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (also known as “bad cholesterol” or LDL-C), and is the first RNAi therapeutic approved for a highly prevalent disease. Leqvio is a subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, or PCSK9, to reduce LDL-C levels via an RNAi mechanism of action and could help improve outcomes for patients with ASCVD, a deadly form of cardiovascular disease. In December 2020, following a positive CHMP opinion, the EC granted marketing authorization for Leqvio (inclisiran) for the treatment of adults with primary hypercholesterolemia (heterozygous familial and non-familial) or mixed dyslipidemia, as an adjunct to diet: in combination with a statin or statin with other lipid-lowering therapies in patients unable to reach LDL-C goals with the maximally tolerated dose of a statin, or alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering therapies in patients who are statin-intolerant, or for whom a statin is contraindicated. In December 2021, the FDA approved Leqvio as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy for the treatment of adults with HeFH or clinical ASCVD who require additional lowering of LDL-C. Leqvio has also been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, or HoFH. As of the end of January 2023, Leqvio has been approved in 70 countries.

Approximately 100 million people worldwide are treated with lipid lowering therapies, predominantly statins, to reduce LDL-C and the associated risk of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and nonfatal stroke or associated events. However, residual risk for cardiovascular events remains and statins are associated with well-known limitations. First, not all subjects reach LDL-C levels associated with optimal protection against clinical events. Second, not all subjects tolerate statins or are able to take statins at sufficiently-intensive doses. Third, observational studies have demonstrated that >50% of patients do not adhere to statin therapy for more than six months. Despite statins alone or in combination with other lipid lowering medications, current therapies for the management of elevated LDL-C remain insufficient in some subjects. This is particularly true in patients with pre-existing coronary heart disease and/or diabetes or a history of familial hypercholesterolemia who are at the highest risk and require the most intensive management. There is an unmet need for additional treatment options beyond currently-available treatments for lowering of the LDL-C level to reduce cardiovascular risk.

In February 2013, we and MDCO (acquired by Novartis in January 2020) entered into a license and collaboration agreement pursuant to which we granted to MDCO an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize RNAi therapeutics targeting PCSK9 for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and other human diseases. Following its acquisition of MDCO, Novartis has all of the rights and obligations under the MDCO agreement. A description of the MDCO agreement is included below under the heading “Strategic Alliances and Collaborations.”

Regulatory filings and approvals for Leqvio were based on positive results from the robust ORION clinical development program that included a comprehensive set of clinical trials to assess LDL-C lowering and safety in over 3,600 patients. This Phase 3 program represents the largest clinical program conducted to date for an investigational RNAi therapeutic program. Most recently, in November 2022, Novartis announced results from its Phase 2 open-label extension ORION-3 trial, which showed that Leqvio provides effective and sustained LDL-C reduction over a four-year period in patients with either ASCVD or ASCVD risk equivalent, and elevated LDL-C despite maximally tolerated statin therapy.

Multiple additional Phase 3 trials are currently ongoing, including cardiovascular outcomes trials, ORION-4 and the Novartis initiated VICTORION-2-PREVENT.

Additional Late-Stage Clinical Development Programs

Fitusiran — Hemophilia

Fitusiran is an investigational, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting antithrombin, or AT, for the treatment of people with hemophilia A and B, with and without inhibitors, in collaboration with our partner, Sanofi. Fitusiran is designed to lower levels of AT with the goal of promoting sufficient thrombin generation to prevent bleeding. AT acts by inactivating thrombin and other coagulation factors, and plays a key role in normal hemostasis by helping to limit the process of fibrin clot formation.

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder characterized by an underlying defect in the ability to generate adequate levels of thrombin needed for effective fibrin clot formation, thereby resulting in recurrent bleeds into joints, muscles, and major internal organs. Lowering AT in the hemophilia setting may promote the generation of sufficient levels of thrombin needed to form an effective fibrin clot and prevent bleeding. This rationale is supported by human genetic data suggesting that co-inheritance of thrombophilic mutations, including AT deficiency, may ameliorate bleeding in hemophilia. We believe this approach is a unique and innovative strategy for preventing bleeding in people with hemophilia.

There are approximately 200,000 people living with hemophilia A and hemophilia B worldwide. Standard treatment for people with hemophilia currently involves replacement of the deficient clotting factor either as prophylaxis or on-demand

therapy, which can lead to a temporary restoration of thrombin generation capacity. However, with current factor replacement treatments people with hemophilia are at risk of developing neutralizing antibodies, or inhibitors, to their replacement factor, a very serious complication affecting as many as one third of people with severe hemophilia A and a smaller fraction of people with hemophilia B. People who develop inhibitors become refractory to replacement factor therapy and are twice as likely to be hospitalized for a bleeding episode.

Fitusiran is currently being evaluated in the ATLAS Phase 3 program. In October 2020, Sanofi announced that it voluntarily paused dosing in all ongoing fitusiran clinical studies to assess reports of non-fatal thrombotic events in patients participating in the ATLAS Phase 3 program. Following an assessment of available data and alignment with the FDA, in December 2020, Sanofi announced that it would resume fitusiran dosing in ongoing adolescent and adult clinical studies. Sanofi has since resumed fitusiran dosing in all ongoing studies with protocol amendments to address adjustments to dose and dosing regimen. To allow for the appropriate collection and assessment of safety and efficacy data under the amended protocols with additional lower doses, Sanofi expects that global regulatory submission timelines for the adult and adolescent studies will be delayed, subject to alignment with health authorities, and in October 2021, Sanofi announced that the potential filing date for fitusiran had been moved to 2024. Fitusiran has received both U.S. and EU Orphan Drug Designations for the treatment of hemophilia A and B.

Sanofi presented positive results from the ATLAS-A/B and ATLAS-INH Phase 3 studies of fitusiran in December 2021, and in July 2022, Sanofi presented positive results from the Phase 3 ATLAS-PPX study evaluating the efficacy and safety of once-monthly fitusiran (80 mg) in adults and adolescents with severe hemophilia A or B who were previously treated with prior factor or bypassing agent prophylaxis.

In January 2018, we and Sanofi entered into an amendment to our 2014 collaboration, as well as the ALN-AT3 Global License Terms, which as further amended in April 2019 are referred to as the A&R AT3 License Terms, pursuant to which Sanofi has global rights to develop and commercialize fitusiran and any back-up products. The 2014 Sanofi collaboration, as amended, as well as the A&R AT3 License Terms, are described below under the heading “Strategic Alliances and Collaborations.”

Cemdisiran — Complement-Mediated Diseases

Cemdisiran is a subcutaneously administered, investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting the C5 component of the complement pathway in development for the treatment of complement-mediated diseases. The complement system plays a central role in immunity as a protective mechanism for host defense, but its dysregulation results in a broad range of human diseases including immunoglobulin A nephropathy, or IgAN, myasthenia gravis, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, amongst others.

We are currently advancing cemdisiran as a monotherapy for the treatment of IgAN, and in June 2022, we announced positive topline results from the Phase 2 study of cemdisiran in adult patients with IgAN. In November 2022, Regeneron exercised its right to opt-out of the collaboration agreement on the cemdisiran monotherapy program. We continue to perform our obligations under the collaboration agreement and are evaluating options for further development in this disease. Cemdisiran is also being evaluated by our partner, Regeneron, in combination with Regeneron’s pozelimab (REGN3918), an anti-C5 monoclonal antibody in Phase 3 studies in myasthenia gravis and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Regeneron's decision to opt-out of the collaboration agreement on the monotherapy program has no impact on Regeneron’s ongoing efforts under a separate license agreement to develop the cemdisiran and pozelimab combination therapy.

Early-Stage Clinical Development Programs

Zilebesiran (formerly ALN-AGT) — Hypertension

Zilebesiran is an investigational, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic targeting angiotensinogen, or AGT, in development for the treatment of hypertension in high unmet need populations. AGT is the most upstream precursor in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, a cascade which has a demonstrated role in blood pressure regulation and its inhibition has well-established anti-hypertensive effects. Zilebesiran inhibits the synthesis of AGT in the liver, potentially leading to durable reductions in AGT protein and ultimately, in the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II.

Hypertension is a complex multifactorial disease clinically defined by most major guidelines as a systolic blood pressure of above 140 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mm Hg, though the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines define hypertension as a systolic blood pressure above 130 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure greater than 80 mm Hg. More than one billion people worldwide live with hypertension. In the U.S. alone, approximately 47 percent of adults live with hypertension, with more than half of patients on medication remaining above the blood pressure target level. Despite the availability of anti-hypertensive medications, there remains a significant unmet medical need, especially given the poor rates of adherence to existing daily oral medications and daily peak and trough effects, resulting in inconsistent blood pressure control and an increased risk for stroke, heart attack and premature death. In particular, there are a number of high unmet need settings where novel approaches to hypertension warrant additional development focus, including patients with poor medication adherence and in patients with high cardiovascular risk.

KARDIA-1 and KARDIA-2, Phase 2 clinical studies for zilebesiran were initiated in June and November 2021, respectively. KARDIA-1 is designed to evaluate zilebesiran as a monotherapy across different doses administered quarterly and biannually, whereas KARDIA-2 is evaluating the safety and efficacy of zilebesiran administered biannually as a concomitant therapy in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a standard of care antihypertensive medication. In January 2023, we announced that we achieved full enrollment of patients in the KARDIA-1 Phase 2 study, with topline results anticipated in mid-2023. We are continuing to enroll patients in the KARDIA-2 study, and expect to complete enrollment in early 2023 and report topline results at or around year-end 2023.

ALN-HBV02 (VIR-2218) – Chronic Hepatitis B and D Virus Infection

ALN-HBV02 (VIR-2218) is a subcutaneously administered, investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting the HBV genome for the treatment of chronic HBV infection, which is being advanced by our collaborators at Vir. ALN-HBV02 is designed to inhibit expression of all HBV proteins, including hepatitis B surface antigen. Almost one-third of the world’s population have previous or current HBV infection. Worldwide, more than 250 million people are chronically infected with HBV, and an estimated 1 million people die each year from complications of chronic HBV such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current treatment options include life-long suppressive antiviral therapies. There is a significant need for safe and convenient novel therapeutics that restore the host immune response, leading to control of the virus after a finite duration of therapy, which is the definition of a functional cure.

The safety and efficacy of ALN-HBV02 are currently being investigated in an ongoing Phase 2 trial, and in June 2022, Vir reported preliminary results that demonstrated that a six-dose regimen provided greater and more durable reductions in hepatitis B surface antigen than a two-dose regimen, with all participants achieving a >1 log10 IU/mL reduction during the trial. In addition, in 2022, Vir continued to progress a Phase 2 combination trial of ALN-HBV02 with pegylated interferon-alpha, as well as a triple combination with VIR-3434 and interferon, each to evaluate the potential for the combination to result in a functional cure of HBV. ALN-HBV02 is also being explored in a Phase 2 study evaluating ALN-HBV-02 and VIR-3434 as monotherapy and in combination for the treatment of people living with chronic hepatitis D virus, or HDV. Vir plans to report additional results from the Phase 2 studies in HBV in 2023, and data from the Phase 2 study in HDV is expected in the second half of 2023. ALN-HBV02 is also being investigated in additional clinical trials with collaborators of Vir.

ALN-HSD – Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis

ALN-HSD is a subcutaneously administered, investigational RNAi therapeutic targeting HSD17B13 in development in collaboration with our partner, Regeneron, for the treatment of NASH. NASH is a highly prevalent chronic liver disease in which inflammation and liver cell injury are caused by accumulation of hepatic fat. NASH is a subset of a group of conditions called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that can lead to progressive fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Comorbidities include obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Approximately 16 million people in the U.S. live with NASH, with prevalence of the disease increasing due to rising rates of obesity. NASH is projected to be the leading indication for liver transplants in developed countries within the next 10 years. There are currently no approved medical therapies for NASH.

In September 2022, we, in collaboration with our partner, Regeneron, reported on positive results from a Phase 1 study of ALN-HSD in healthy volunteers and patients with NASH. In December 2022, we further elaborated on these results demonstrating robust target engagement and safety profile that supports continued clinical development. Regeneron will be leading continued development of the ALN-HSD program from Phase 2 onward.

ALN-APP – Alzheimer’s Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

ALN-APP is an investigational, intrathecally administered RNAi therapeutic targeting amyloid precursor protein, or APP, in development in collaboration with Regeneron for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, or AD, and cerebral amyloid angiopathy, or CAA. Genetic mutations that increase production of APP or alter its cleavage cause early-onset AD, early-onset CAA, or both. ALN-APP is designed to decrease APP mRNA in the CNS to decrease synthesis of APP protein and all downstream intracellular and extracellular APP-derived cleavage products, including amyloid beta (Aβ). Reducing APP protein production is expected to reduce the secretion of Aβ peptides that aggregate into extracellular amyloid deposits in AD and CAA and reduce the intraneuronal APP cleavage products that trigger the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and cause neuronal dysfunction in AD. ALN-APP is the first program utilizing our C16 conjugate technology, which enables enhanced delivery to cells in the CNS, to enter clinical development.

In early 2022, we initiated a Phase 1 study of ALN-APP in patients with early-onset AD, and in October 2022, we announced that enrollment and dose escalation continue in the Phase 1 study, and initial results are expected in early 2023.

Additional Early-Stage and Pre-clinical Programs

In addition to the programs listed above, we are also advancing other earlier-stage pipeline programs, including ALN-TTRsc04 for ATTR amyloidosis, ALN-KHK for Type 2 diabetes mellitus and ALN-PNP for NASH, and filed CTAs for each program during 2022. During 2023, we plan to file two to four investigational new drug applications, or INDs, or CTAs from our organic product engine. We also intend to continue to build on our progress with extrahepatic delivery during 2023,

advancing our eye and CNS programs under our collaboration with Regeneron, as well as continuing to advance other extrahepatic delivery initiatives.

Our Collaboration and Licensing Strategy

Our business strategy is to develop and commercialize a broad pipeline of RNAi therapeutic products directed towards transformative rare and prevalent diseases, including continued focus on our four STArs. As part of this strategy, we have entered into, and expect to enter into additional, collaboration and licensing agreements as a means of obtaining resources, capabilities and funding to advance our investigational RNAi therapeutic programs.

Our collaboration strategy is to form alliances that create significant value for ourselves and our collaborators in the advancement of RNAi therapeutics as a new class of innovative medicines. Specifically, with respect to our CNS/Ocular Disease pipeline, in April 2019, we entered into a global, strategic collaboration with Regeneron to discover, develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing disease targets expressed in the eye and CNS, in addition to a select number of targets expressed in the liver. In July 2020, Regeneron exercised its co-development/co-commercialization option on our first CNS-targeted development candidate, ALN-APP, an investigational RNAi therapeutic in development for the treatment of hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy and autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s Disease, which we are leading. We are also advancing multiple other programs with Regeneron.

With respect to our Cardio-Metabolic pipeline, in March 2013, we entered into an exclusive, worldwide license with MDCO (acquired by Novartis in January 2020) pursuant to which MDCO was granted the right to develop, manufacture and commercialize RNAi therapeutics targeting PCSK9 for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and other human diseases, including inclisiran. In March 2018, we entered into a discovery collaboration with Regeneron to identify RNAi therapeutics for NASH, and potentially other related diseases, and in November 2018, we and Regeneron entered into a separate, fifty-fifty collaboration to further research, co-develop and commercialize any therapeutic product candidates that emerge from these discovery efforts. In April 2020, we entered into a development and commercialization collaboration with Dicerna to advance investigational RNAi therapeutics for the treatment of alpha-1 liver disease.

With respect to our Hepatic Infectious Disease pipeline, in October 2017, we announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Vir for the development and commercialization of RNAi therapeutics for infectious diseases, including chronic HBV infection. In March 2020, we announced an expansion of our exclusive licensing agreement with Vir to include the development and commercialization of RNAi therapeutics targeting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease COVID-19, which we further expanded in April 2020 to include up to three additional targets focused on host factors for SARS-CoV-2, including angiotensin converting enzyme-2, or ACE2, and transmembrane protease, serine 2, or TMPRSS2, and potentially a third mutually selected host factor target. In July 2021, we notified Vir that we elected to discontinue ALN-COV, in development for the treatment of COVID-19, and all other COVID-19 research and development activities, based on a portfolio prioritization in view of the availability of highly effective vaccines and alternative treatment options. Following such discontinuation of COVID-19 related activities, we have no further obligations to work on the COVID-related targets and Vir has no further rights to such targets under our exclusive licensing agreement.

With respect to our Genetic Medicine pipeline, we formed a broad strategic alliance with Sanofi in 2014. In January 2018, we and Sanofi amended our 2014 collaboration and entered into the Exclusive License Agreement, referred to as the Exclusive TTR License, under which we have the exclusive right to pursue the further global development and commercialization of all TTR products, including ONPATTRO, AMVUTTRA and any back-up products, and the ALN-AT3 Global License Terms, referred to as the AT3 License Terms, under which Sanofi has the exclusive right to pursue the further global development and commercialization of fitusiran and any back-up products. In April 2019, we and Sanofi agreed to further amend the 2014 Sanofi collaboration to conclude the research and option phase and to amend and restate the AT3 License Terms to modify certain of the business terms.

We intend to continue to evaluate and explore partnership opportunities through collaboration and licensing arrangements, and may enter into new collaborations to advance certain products or disease areas. For example, in January 2022,we announced that we and Novartis agreed to collaborate on the discovery and development of an siRNA-based targeted therapy to restore functional liver cells in patients with end-stage liver diseases.

We also have entered into license agreements to obtain rights to intellectual property in the field of RNAi. In addition, because delivery of RNAi therapeutics has historically been an important objective of our research activities, we have entered into various collaboration and licensing arrangements with other companies and academic institutions to gain access to delivery technologies, including various LNP delivery technologies, and we may enter into such agreements in the future to gain access to products or technologies. For example, in 2021, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with PeptiDream to discover and develop peptide-siRNA conjugates leveraging PeptiDream's proprietary Peptide Discovery Platform System technology.

Strategic Alliances and Collaborations

We have formed, and intend to continue to form, strategic alliances and collaborations to gain access to the financial, technical, clinical and commercial resources necessary to develop and market RNAi therapeutics. We expect these alliances and

18

Table of Contents

collaborations to provide us with financial support in the form of upfront cash payments, license fees, equity investments, research, development, and sales and marketing support and/or funding, milestone payments and/or royalties or profit sharing based on sales of RNAi therapeutics. Below is a brief description of our key strategic alliances, financial collaboration and license agreements.

Product Alliances

Regeneron. In April 2019, we entered into a global, strategic collaboration with Regeneron to discover, develop and commercialize RNAi therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing therapeutic targets expressed in the eye and CNS, in addition to a select number of targets expressed in the liver, which we refer to as the Regeneron Collaboration. The Regeneron Collaboration is governed by a Master Agreement, referred to as the Regeneron Master Agreement, which became effective in May 2019.

In connection with the Regeneron Master Agreement, we and Regeneron entered into (i) a binding co-co collaboration term sheet covering the continued development of cemdisiran, our C5 siRNA currently in Phase 2 development for IgAN as a monotherapy and (ii) a binding license term sheet to evaluate anti-C5 antibody-siRNA combinations for C5 complement-mediated diseases including evaluating the combination of Regeneron’s pozelimab (REGN3918), currently in Phase 3 development, and cemdisiran. The C5 co-co collaboration and license agreements were executed in August 2019.

Under the terms of the Regeneron Collaboration, we will work exclusively with Regeneron to discover RNAi therapeutics for eye and CNS diseases for an initial five-year research period, subject to extension for up to an additional five years, or the Initial Research Term. The Regeneron Collaboration also covers a select number of RNAi therapeutic programs designed to target genes expressed in the liver, including our previously-announced collaboration with Regeneron to identify RNAi therapeutics for the chronic liver disease NASH. We retain broad global rights to all of our other unpartnered liver-directed clinical and pre-clinical pipeline programs.

Regeneron will lead development and commercialization for all programs targeting eye diseases (subject to limited exceptions), entitling us to certain potential milestone and royalty payments pursuant to the terms of a license agreement, the form of which has been agreed upon by the parties. We and Regeneron will alternate leadership on CNS and liver programs, with the lead party retaining global development and commercial responsibility.

With respect to the programs directed to C5 complement-mediated diseases, we retain control of cemdisiran monotherapy development, and Regeneron is leading combination product development. Pursuant to the C5 co-co collaboration agreement, Regeneron notified us in November 2022 of its decision to exercise its right to opt-out of the further development and commercialization of cemdisiran monotherapy. As a result, Regeneron no longer shares costs and potential future profits on any monotherapy program with us and we are solely responsible for all development and commercialization costs and Regeneron will be eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. Under the C5 license agreement, for cemdisiran to be used as part of a combination product, Regeneron is solely responsible for all development and commercialization costs and we will receive low double-digit royalties and commercial milestones of up to $325.0 million on any potential combination product sales. The C5 license agreement is not impacted by Regeneron’s opt-out under the C5 co-co collaboration agreement.

We and Regeneron plan to advance programs directed to up to 30 targets under the Regeneron Collaboration during the Initial Research Term. In July 2020, Regeneron exercised its co-development/co-commercialization option on our first CNS-targeted development candidate, ALN-APP, an investigational RNAi therapeutic in development for the treatment of hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy and autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s Disease, which we are leading. We are also advancing multiple other programs with Regeneron.

the royalties due to us from Sanofi on fitusiran), and (iii) tiered royalties of up to 15% based on global annual net sales of any back-up products, in each case by us, our affiliates and our sublicensees. The collaboration amendment entered into in April 2019 described below made no changes to the terms described in clauses (i)-(iii) above, which remain in full force and effect.

In April 2019, we and Sanofi agreed to further amend the 2014 Sanofi collaboration to conclude the research and option phase and to amend and restate the AT3 License Terms pursuant to the A&R AT3 License Terms, to modify certain of the business terms. The material collaboration terms for fitusiran were unchanged. Under the A&R AT3 License Terms, we are eligible to receive tiered royalties of 15% to 30% based on global annual net sales of fitusiran and up to 15% based on global annual net sales of any back-up products controlled by Sanofi, in each case by Sanofi, its affiliates and its sublicensees. In connection with entering into the 2019 amendment and the A&R AT3 License Terms, we agreed to advance, at our cost, a selected investigational asset in an undisclosed rare genetic disease through the end of IND-enabling studies. Following completion of such studies, we will transition, at our cost, such asset to Sanofi. Thereafter, Sanofi will fund all potential future development and commercialization costs for such asset. If this asset is approved, we will be eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on global net sales.

Novartis AG. In February 2013, we and MDCO entered into a license and collaboration agreement pursuant to which we granted to MDCO an exclusive, worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize RNAi therapeutics targeting PCSK9 for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and other human diseases. Under the MDCO agreement, we had responsibility for the development of inclisiran until Phase 1 Completion, as defined in the MDCO agreement, at our cost. In late 2015, MDCO assumed responsibility for all development and commercialization of inclisiran, at its sole cost. In January 2020, MDCO was acquired by Novartis and in December 2020, the EC granted marketing authorization for Leqvio (inclisiran) for the treatment of adults with hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia, following a positive CHMP opinion. In December 2021, Leqvio was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adults with HeFH or clinical ASCVD as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated dose of statin. For more information regarding the MDCO agreement, including its ongoing financial and accounting impact on our business, please read Note 4, Net Revenues from Collaborations, to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In January 2015, we and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Ionis, entered into a second amended and restated strategic collaboration and license agreement, which we further amended in July 2015, or the 2015 Ionis agreement. The 2015 Ionis agreement provides for certain new exclusive target cross-licenses of intellectual property on eight disease targets, providing each company with exclusive RNA therapeutic license rights for four programs, and extended the parties’ existing non-exclusive technology cross-license, which was originally entered into in 2004 and was amended and restated in 2009, through April 2019. Pursuant to the 2015 Ionis agreement, Ionis granted to us an exclusive, low single-digit royalty-bearing license to its chemistry, motif, mechanism and target-specific intellectual property for oligonucleotide therapeutics against four targets. In exchange, we granted to Ionis an exclusive, low single-digit royalty-bearing license to our chemistry, motif, mechanism and target-specific intellectual property for oligonucleotide therapeutics against four targets. Under the original agreement, Ionis licensed to us its patent estate related to antisense motifs and mechanisms and oligonucleotide chemistry for double-stranded RNAi products in exchange for a previously disclosed technology access fee, participation in fees for our partnering programs and future milestone and royalty payments from us for programs that incorporate Ionis’ intellectual property. We have the right to use Ionis’ intellectual property in our development programs or in collaborations and Ionis agreed not to grant licenses under these patents to any other organization for the discovery, development and commercialization of double-stranded RNA products designed to work through an RNAi mechanism, except in the context of a collaboration in which Ionis plays an active role. In turn, in exchange for option fees, and future milestone and royalty payments from Ionis for RNAi programs that incorporate certain of our intellectual property, we non-exclusively licensed to Ionis our patent estate relating to antisense motifs and mechanisms and oligonucleotide chemistry to research, develop and commercialize single-stranded antisense therapeutics, single stranded RNAi therapeutics and to research double-stranded RNAi compounds. Ionis also received a license to develop and commercialize double-stranded RNAi drugs targeting a limited number of therapeutic targets on a non-exclusive basis.

Trademarks

We file trademarks to protect our corporate brand and our products. Typically we file trademark applications in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere in the world as appropriate. In addition to multiple pending trademark applications in the U.S. and other major countries, we have registered trademarks in the U.S., including but not limited to Alnylam® and the Alnylam logo, as well as ONPATTRO® and the ONPATTRO logo, AMVUTTRA® and the AMVUTTRA logo, GIVLAARI® and the GIVLAARI logo and OXLUMO® and the OXLUMO logo.

Competition

The pharmaceutical marketplace is extremely competitive, with hundreds of companies competing to discover, develop and market new drugs. We face a broad spectrum of current and potential competitors, ranging from very large, global pharmaceutical companies with significant resources, to other biotechnology companies with resources and expertise comparable to our own, to smaller biotechnology companies with fewer resources and expertise than we have. We believe that for most or all of our drug development programs, there will be one or more competing programs under development at other companies. In some cases, the companies with competing programs will have access to greater resources and expertise than we do and may be more advanced in those programs.

Competition for Our Business in General

The competition we face can be grouped into three broad categories:

•other companies working to develop RNAi and microRNA therapeutic products;

•companies developing technology known as antisense, which, like RNAi, attempts to silence the activity of specific genes by targeting the mRNAs copied from them; and

•marketed products and development programs for therapeutics that treat the same diseases for which we may also be developing treatments.

We are aware of several other companies that are working to develop RNAi therapeutic products. Some of these companies are seeking, as we are, to develop chemically synthesized siRNAs as drugs. Others are following a gene therapy approach, with

25

Table of Contents

the goal of treating patients not with synthetic siRNAs but with synthetic, exogenously-introduced genes designed to produce siRNA-like molecules within cells.

Companies working on chemically synthesized siRNAs include Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Arrowhead, and its collaborators Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd., or Takeda, Janssen Pharmaceutics, Inc. or Janssen, Horizon Therapeutics PLC, or Horizon, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, or GSK, and Amgen Inc., or Amgen, Quark Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Quark, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, or Roche, Silence Therapeutics plc, or Silence, and its collaborators, AstraZeneca plc, or AstraZeneca, Jiangsu Hansoh Pharmaceuticals Group Co., and Mallinckrodt plc, Arbutus Biopharma Corp., or Arbutus, Sylentis, S.A.U., or Sylentis, Novo Nordisk and its collaborators, Boehringer Ingelheim, AstraZeneca plc, or AstraZeneca, and Eli Lilly and Company, or Eli Lilly, WAVE Life Sciences Ltd., or WAVE, Silenseed Ltd., Ascletis Pharma Inc., Biomics Biopharma, Avidity Biosciences Inc., Dyne Therapeutics Inc., or Dyne, Atalanta Therapeutics Inc., Sirnaomics Inc., OliX Pharmaceuticals Inc., Ochre Bio, DTx Pharma, Inc., Sixfold Bioscience Inc., ProQR Therapeutics NV, or ProQR, Phio Pharmaceuticals, BioPath Holding Inc., Arcturus Therapeutics, Inc., or Arcturus, and Ascletis Pharma Inc. Several of these companies have licensed our intellectual property. Benitec Biopharma Ltd., or Benitec, is working on gene therapy approaches to RNAi therapeutics. Companies working on microRNA therapeutics include Regulus Therapeutics, Inc., Rosetta Genomics Ltd., MiNA Therapeutics, Inc, InteRNA Technologies B.V. and TransCode Therapeutics, Inc.

Antisense technology uses short, single-stranded, DNA-like molecules to block mRNAs encoding specific proteins. We believe that RNAi drugs may potentially have significant advantages over antisense oligonucleotide, or ASO, drugs, including greater potency and specificity. In addition to Ionis and its collaborators, including Biogen Inc., AstraZeneca, Novartis and Bayer AG, and several other companies have ASO-based product candidates in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development, including Roche, Akcea Therapeutics, Inc. (acquired by Ionis in October 2020), or Akcea, Antisense Therapeutics, Ltd., Dyne, WAVE, GSK, Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc., ProQR and Eli Lilly.

The competitive landscape continues to expand, and we expect that additional companies will initiate programs focused on the development of RNAi therapeutic products using the approaches described above as well as potentially new approaches that may result in the more rapid development of RNAi therapeutics or more effective technologies for RNAi drug development or delivery.

Competing Drugs for Our Marketed Products and Late-Stage Investigational RNAi Therapeutics

ATTR Amyloidosis. Until a few years ago, liver transplantation was the only treatment option for patients with hATTR amyloidosis in the U.S. and in other countries. Only a subset of patients with early-stage disease qualify for this costly and invasive procedure, which carries significant morbidity and risk of mortality. Even following liver transplantation, the disease continues to progress for many patients, presumably due to ongoing deposition of wild-type TTR protein.

In addition to ONPATTRO and AMVUTTRA, approved treatments for hATTR amyloidosis now include inotersen (TEGSEDI, approved in many countries) and tafamidis (VYNDAQEL/VYNDAMAX, approved in many countries). Treatment indications vary by country/region for each product. We believe that the following approved drugs could compete with ONPATTRO and AMVUTTRA for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hATTR amyloidosis in adults and for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy if patisiran is approved for that indication and/or if HELIOS-B is positive and vutrisiran is approved for that indication:

Drug Company Drug Description Phase Administration/Dosing

Several investigational drugs also exist, in varying stages of clinical development, for ATTR amyloidosis. We believe that the following drug candidates, if approved, could compete with ONPATTRO and AMVUTTRA, for the treatment of the

We are also aware of other companies that have pre-clinical development programs for the potential treatment of ATTR amyloidosis.

Acute Hepatic Porphyria. In addition to GIVLAARI, which is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with AHP, and in the EU for the treatment of AHP in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older, there are also two approved hemin products, Panhematin (U.S.) and Normosang (EU), for the treatment of acute porphyria attacks. Panhematin and Normosang are both administered by intravenous infusion and are blood products currently manufactured by Recordati S.p.A. There are currently no competing products approved for prophylactic use; however, there is off-label prophylactic use of hemin by some physicians.We are aware of other companies that have pre-clinical development programs for the potential treatment of AHP.

Primary Hyperoxaluria. In addition to OXLUMO, which was approved in the U.S. for the treatment of primary hyperoxaluria, or PH, type 1, and in the EU for the treatment of PH type 1 in patients of all ages, currently used treatments for PH include hyper hydration, oral citrate or dual liver/kidney transplantation. Transplantation is costly and is an invasive procedure, which carries significant morbidity and mortality. This leaves a high unmet medical need for a severe and primarily pediatric disorder.Presently, there are several investigational drugs in varying stages of clinical development for the treatment of PH. We believe that the following drug candidates, if approved, could compete with OXLUMO:

Drug Company Drug Description Phase Administration/Dosing

BBP-711 BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. GO inhibitor Phase 2/3 Oral

CHK-336 Chinook Therapeutics, Inc. LDHA inhibitor Phase 2 Oral

BMN-255 BioMarin Pharmaceutical, Inc. Undisclosed Phase 1/2 Oral

We are aware of other companies that have pre-clinical development programs for the potential treatment of PH.

Hypercholesterolemia. In addition to Leqvio, which was approved in the EU for the treatment of adults with hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia and in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with HeFH or clinical ASCVD as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated dose of statin, the current standard of care for patients with hypercholesterolemia includes the use of dietary changes, lifestyle modification and the use of pharmacologic therapy. Front line therapy consists of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly known as statins, which block production of cholesterol by the liver and increase clearance of LDL-C from the bloodstream. Several anti-PCSK9 antibodies have also been approved for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia in the U.S. and Europe. Other PCSK9-targeted approaches and other cholesterol lowering agents are in development at a number of companies.

Hemophilia. The global market for treatments of hemophilia and bleeding disorders is valued at more than $10.0 billion. Products on the market include: Factor VIII replacement products; Factor IX replacement products; factor replacement products with extended half-lives, and most recently a bispecific antibody mimicking Factor VIII. For the treatment of persons with inhibitors, there is an approved Factor VIIa replacement product and an activated prothrombin complex concentrate, as well as a bispecific antibody mimicking Factor VIII. In addition, new, innovative molecules are currently in development which may offer new treatments for people with hemophilia A and B, with and without inhibitors. A number of companies are also actively developing gene therapy products that use virus-like particles to deliver a functional section of a particular gene into the liver cells of a person with hemophilia.

Other Competition

Finally, for many of the diseases that are the subject of our early-stage clinical, pre-clinical development and discovery RNAi therapeutic programs, there are already drugs on the market or in development. However, notwithstanding the availability of existing drugs or drug candidates, we believe there currently exists sufficient unmet medical need to warrant the advancement of our investigational RNAi therapeutic programs.

Regulatory Matters

U.S. Regulatory Considerations

The research, testing, manufacture and marketing of drug products and their delivery systems are extensively regulated in the U.S. and the rest of the world. In the U.S., drugs are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacture, storage, record keeping, reporting, labeling, marketing and distribution of drug products. Failure to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicially-imposed sanctions and the inability to obtain or maintain required approvals to test or market drug products. These sanctions could include, among other things, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, clinical holds, injunctions, fines, civil penalties or criminal prosecution.

The steps ordinarily required before a new drug product may be marketed in the U.S. include nonclinical laboratory tests, animal tests and formulation studies, the submission to the FDA of an IND, which must become effective prior to commencement of clinical testing in the U.S., approval by an institutional review board, or IRB, at each clinical site before each trial may be initiated, completion of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish that the drug product is safe and effective for the indication and other conditions of use for which FDA approval is sought, submission to the FDA of an NDA (or supplemental NDA for approved products), acceptance of the NDA for review by the FDA, and FDA review and approval of the NDA. Satisfaction of the FDA's pre-market approval requirements typically takes several years, but may vary

29

Table of Contents

substantially depending upon the complexity of the product and the nature of the disease. Government regulation may delay, limit or prevent marketing of potential products for a considerable period of time and impose costly procedures on a company’s activities. Success in early-stage clinical trials does not necessarily assure success in later-stage clinical trials. Data obtained from clinical activities, including but not limited to the data derived from our clinical trials for drug candidates, are not always conclusive and may be subject to alternative interpretations that could delay, limit or even prevent regulatory approval. Even if a product receives regulatory approval, later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including new safety risks from clinical or nonclinical data or manufacturing issues, may result in restrictions on the product or even complete withdrawal of the product from the market.

Nonclinical Tests and Clinical Trials

Nonclinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry and formulation, as well as animal testing to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product. The conduct of the nonclinical tests and formulation of compounds for testing must comply with applicable federal regulations and requirements, including in some cases the FDA’s good laboratory practice requirements and the Animal Welfare Act. The results of nonclinical testing are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND, together with chemistry, manufacturing and controls, or CMC, information, analytical and stability data, a proposed clinical trial protocol and other information. Clinical testing in humans may not commence until an IND is in effect.

An IND becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA unless the FDA notifies the sponsor that the proposed investigation(s) are subject to a clinical hold. If the FDA imposes a clinical hold, or partial clinical hold, the FDA’s concerns must be resolved prior to the commencement of clinical trials, or the FDA can enforce other changes to the clinical development program or clinical trial(s). The IND review process can result in substantial delay and expense. We, an IRB, or the FDA may, at any time, suspend, terminate, significantly modify, restrict or impose a clinical hold on ongoing clinical trials. If the FDA imposes a clinical hold, clinical trials cannot commence or recommence without FDA authorization, and then the clinical trials can commence or recommence only under the terms authorized by the FDA.

Clinical trials involve the administration of an investigational new drug to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator. Clinical studies are conducted under protocols detailing, among other things, the objectives of the trial and the safety and effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol involving testing on human subjects in the U.S. must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. In addition, clinical trials must be conducted in compliance with federal regulations and requirements, commonly referred to as good clinical practice, or GCP, to assure data integrity and protect the rights, safety and well-being of trial participants. Among other things, GCP requires that all research subjects provide their informed consent prior to participating in any clinical study, and that a properly constituted IRB for each institution participating in the clinical trial review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that institution and conduct continuing review throughout the trial. The IRB must review and approve, among other things, the study protocol and informed consent information to be provided to study subjects.

Clinical trials to support NDAs are typically conducted in three sequential phases, which may overlap or be combined.

•In Phase 1, the initial introduction of the drug into healthy human subjects or patients, the drug is tested primarily to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological actions and metabolism associated with increasing doses.

•Phase 2 usually involves trials in a limited patient population, to assess the optimum dosage and dose regimen, identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, and provide preliminary support for the efficacy of the drug in the indication being studied.

•Phase 3 clinical trials further evaluate the drug’s clinical efficacy, side effects and safety in an expanded patient population, typically at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites, to establish the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug and to provide adequate information for the labeling of the drug.

Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 testing of any drug candidates may not be completed successfully within any specified time period, if at all. The FDA closely monitors the progress of each of the three phases of clinical trials that are conducted in the U.S. The FDA may, at its discretion, re-evaluate, alter, suspend or terminate the testing based upon the data accumulated to that point and the FDA’s assessment of the risk/benefit ratio to the subject participating in the study. An IRB or a clinical trial sponsor may also modify, suspend or terminate clinical trials, or parts of clinical trials, at any time for various reasons, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. The FDA can also request or require that additional clinical trials, nonclinical evaluations or changes in the manufacturing process be conducted as a condition to product approval. Finally, sponsors are required to publicly disseminate information about certain ongoing and completed clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, a government website administered by the National Institutes of Health, or NIH.

New Drug Applications

We believe that any RNAi product candidate we develop, whether for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis, AHP, PH1, hypercholesterolemia or the various indications targeted in our clinical development or nonclinical discovery programs, will be regulated by the FDA as a new drug that is not considered to be a biologic, and thus will require an NDA. FDA approval of an

30

Table of Contents

NDA is required before commercial distribution of a new drug may begin in the U.S. An NDA must include the results of extensive nonclinical, clinical and other testing, as described above, a compilation of data relating to the product’s pharmacology, CMC, proposed labeling and other information. In addition, an NDA for a new active ingredient, new indication, new dosage form, new dosing regimen, or new route of administration typically must contain data assessing the safety and effectiveness for the claimed indication in all relevant pediatric subpopulations, although deferrals or full or partial waivers may be available in some circumstances.

The cost of preparing and submitting an NDA is substantial. Under the PDUFA, as amended, each NDA must be accompanied by an application fee. For fiscal year 2023, the application fee for each NDA requiring clinical data is approximately $3.2 million. The PDUFA also imposes an annual program fee for each approved prescription drug, which has been set at approximately $394,000 for fiscal year 2023. The FDA adjusts the PDUFA user fees on an annual basis. Fee waivers or reductions are available in certain circumstances. Additionally, no user fees are assessed on NDAs for products designated as orphan drugs, unless the NDA also includes a non-orphan indication. The FDA conducts a preliminary review of all NDAs within the first 60 days after submission before accepting them for filing to determine whether they are sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. During that time, the FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. If the FDA determines that an NDA is not sufficiently complete to permit substantive review, it will issue a refuse to file determination and the NDA will not be reviewed by the FDA. If the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review of the NDA. The FDA has agreed to specified performance goals regarding the timing of the completion of its review of NDAs, although the goals are not binding and the FDA does not always meet these goals. The review process is often significantly extended by the FDA's requests for additional information or clarification regarding information provided in the submission. For novel drug products or drug products that present difficult questions of safety or efficacy, the FDA may refer the application to an advisory committee, which is typically in the form of a panel that includes independent clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved. The FDA may waive the review of an advisory committee and is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it often follows such recommendations. The FDA normally conducts a pre-approval inspection to gain assurance that the manufacturing facility or facilities, methods and controls are adequate to preserve the drug’s identity, strength, quality, purity and stability, and are in compliance with regulations governing current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, requirements. In addition, the FDA often will conduct a bioresearch monitoring inspection of select clinical trial sites involved in conducting pivotal studies to assure data integrity and compliance with applicable GCP requirements, and could also conduct GCP inspections of the sponsor.

If the FDA's evaluation of an NDA and the various inspections are favorable, the FDA may issue an approval letter, which authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with specific prescribing information for a specific indication. The approved indication may be narrower than what was proposed by the applicant or for a narrower patient population than the population studied in clinical trials. As a condition of NDA approval, the FDA may require post-approval evaluations, sometimes referred to as Phase 4 trials, or other surveillance to monitor the drug’s safety or effectiveness and may impose other conditions, including labeling restrictions, such as a Boxed Warning, and/or distribution and use restrictions through a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, all of which can materially affect the potential market and profitability of the drug. Once granted, product approvals may be further limited or withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or safety or other problems are identified following initial marketing.

Post-Approval Regulation

Once an NDA is approved, a product will be subject to certain post-approval requirements, including requirements for manufacturing establishment registration and product listing, AE reporting, submission of other periodic reports, field alerts, recordkeeping, product sampling and distribution. Additionally, the FDA strictly regulates the promotional claims that may be made about prescription drug products and biologics. In particular, the FDA generally prohibits pharmaceutical companies from promoting their drugs or biologics for uses that are not approved by the FDA as reflected in the product’s approved labeling, and requires that important safety information be presented to balance information provided on a drug’s effectiveness. In addition, the FDA requires substantiation of any safety or effectiveness claims, including claims that one product is superior in terms of safety or effectiveness to another. Superiority claims generally must be supported by head-to-head clinical trials. To the extent that market acceptance of our products depends on their superiority over existing therapies, any restriction on our ability to advertise or otherwise promote claims of superiority, or requirements to conduct additional expensive clinical trials to provide proof of such claims, could negatively affect the sales of our products or our costs. We must also notify the FDA of any change in an approved product beyond variations in the approved application. Certain changes to the product, its labeling or its manufacturing require prior FDA approval and may require the conduct of further clinical investigations to support the change. Such approvals may be expensive and time-consuming and, if not approved, the FDA will not allow the product to be commercially distributed as modified.

If the FDA’s evaluation of an NDA submission or GCP inspections or inspection of the manufacturing facilities for the product are not favorable or cannot be completed due to COVID-19 related restrictions, the FDA may defer action on an application or refuse to approve the NDA and issue a complete response letter. The complete response letter describes the deficiencies that the FDA has identified in an application and may recommend actions that the applicant can take to address the deficiencies. Such actions may include, among other things, conducting additional safety or efficacy studies. Even with the

31

Table of Contents

completion of this additional testing or the submission of additional requested information, however, the FDA ultimately may decide that the application does not satisfy the regulatory criteria for approval. With limited exceptions, the FDA may withhold approval of an NDA regardless of prior advice it may have provided or commitments it may have made to the sponsor.

Some of our product candidates may need to be administered using specialized drug delivery systems that are considered to be medical devices. We may rely on drug delivery systems that are already approved or cleared to deliver drugs like ours to similar physiological sites or, in some instances, we may need to modify the design or labeling of the legally available device for delivery of our product candidate. The FDA may regulate our product candidate when used with a specialized drug delivery system as a combination product, which could permit the combination to be approved through a single application, such as an NDA. In some instances, the FDA could require separate, additional approvals or clearances for the modified device. If the FDA does require separate, additional approvals or clearances for the modified device, the FDA could require either a premarket approval application, or PMA, a 510(k) clearance, or a de novo classification, depending on the risk classification of the modified device and the availability of legally marketed predicate devices. Approval of PMAs are required for class III medical devices, which are devices for which insufficient information exists to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device through general controls and special controls. PMAs must contain sufficient valid scientific evidence to assure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. Clearance under section 510(k) of the FDCA is required for most class II medical devices, which are devices for which special controls are necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness. A 510(k) submission demonstrates to the FDA that the device is substantially equivalent (i.e., at least as safe and effective based on the intended use and technological characteristics) as a legally marketed predicate device that is not subject to PMA requirements. If no such legally marketed predicate device exists, but the applicant believes the device should not be automatically classified into class III, the applicant can submit an application for de novo classification, which is a request to FDA to classify the device into class I or II based on certain general and, if applicable, special controls that are necessary to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. In addition, if the FDA requires a separate, additional approval or clearance for a delivery device to be used with our products, and the delivery device is owned by another company, we will need that company’s cooperation to implement the necessary changes to the device and to obtain any additional approvals or clearances, described above. Obtaining such additional approvals or clearances, and cooperation of other companies, when necessary, could significantly delay, and increase the cost of obtaining marketing approval, which could reduce the commercial viability of a product candidate. To the extent that we rely on previously unapproved drug delivery systems, we may be subject to additional testing and approval requirements from the FDA above and beyond those described above.

Abbreviated Applications and 505(b)(2) Applications

Once an NDA is approved, the product covered thereby becomes a listed drug that can, in turn, be relied upon by potential competitors in support of approval of an abbreviated NDA, or ANDA, or a 505(b)(2) application. An ANDA generally provides an abbreviated approval pathway for a drug product that has the same active ingredients in the same strength, dosage form and route of administration as the listed drug and has been shown through appropriate testing (unless waived) to be bioequivalent to the listed drug. Drugs approved in this way are commonly referred to as generic equivalents to the listed drug and can often be substituted by pharmacists under prescriptions written for the original listed drug. A 505(b)(2) application is a type of NDA that relies, in part, upon data the applicant does not own and to which it does not have a right of reference. Such applications often are submitted for changes to previously approved drug products.

The approval of ANDAs and 505(b)(2) applications can be delayed by patents and non-patent exclusivity covering the listed drug. Federal law provides for a period of three years of exclusivity following approval of a listed drug that contains a previously approved active ingredient if the FDA determines that new clinical investigations, other than bioavailability studies, were conducted or sponsored by the applicant and are essential to the approval of the application. This three-year exclusivity covers only the conditions of approval for which the new clinical investigations were essential, such as a new dosage form or indication. Accordingly, three-year exclusivity generally protects changes to a previously approved drug product that require clinical testing for approval and, as a general matter, does not prohibit the FDA from approving ANDAs or 505(b)(2) applications for generic versions of the drug product without such changes.

Federal law also provides a five-year period of NCE exclusivity following approval of a drug that contains an NCE. An NCE is a drug that contains an active moiety (the molecule or ion responsible for the action of the drug substance) that has never previously been approved by the FDA. If a listed drug has NCE exclusivity, ANDAs and 505(b)(2) applications referencing the listed drug cannot be submitted to the FDA for five years following the approval of the listed drug unless the application contains a certification challenging a listed patent, i.e., a paragraph IV certification (discussed further below), in which case the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application may be submitted four years following approval of the listed drug. Five-year and three-year exclusivity will not delay the submission or approval of a full NDA; however, an applicant submitting a full NDA would be required to conduct or obtain a right of reference to all of the nonclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.

Additionally, applicants submitting an ANDA or 505(b)(2) application referencing a listed drug generally are required to make a certification with respect to each patent for the listed drug that is listed in the FDA’s publication Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly referred to as the Orange Book. If the applicant is not seeking

32

Table of Contents

approval of a use claimed by a method-of-use patent, however, the applicant can submit a statement to that effect instead of making the certification. These certifications (and statements) affect when the FDA can approve the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application. If the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant certifies that it does not intend to market its product before a listed patent expires (i.e., a paragraph III certification), then the FDA will not grant effective approval of the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application until the relevant patent expires. If the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant certifies that a listed patent is invalid, unenforceable, or will not be infringed by its proposed product, and thus that it is seeking approval prior to patent expiration (i.e., a paragraph IV certification), and certain other steps are taken, then approval of the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application will be stayed (i.e., FDA will not approve the application) until 30 months have passed or patent disputes are resolved. Specifically, under the process set forth by the statute, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant must provide notice of its patent challenge to the NDA sponsor and the patent holder within certain time limits. If the patent holder then initiates a suit for patent infringement within 45 days of receipt of the notice, the FDA cannot grant effective approval of the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application until either 30 months have passed (which may be extended or shortened in certain cases) or there has been a court decision or settlement order holding or stating that the patents in question are invalid, unenforceable or not infringed. If the court decision or settlement order holds or states that the patents in question are valid, enforceable, and would be infringed, however, then the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application may not be approved until such patents expire. If the patent holder does not initiate a suit for patent infringement within the 45-day time limit described above, the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application may be approved immediately upon successful completion of FDA review, unless blocked by another listed patent or regulatory exclusivity period.

Orphan Drug Designation

Under the Orphan Drug Act, as amended, the FDA may grant Orphan Drug Designation to a drug intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. or affects more than 200,000 individuals and for which there is no reasonable expectation of recovering drug development costs in the U.S. from sales in the U.S. Orphan Drug Designation must be requested before submitting an NDA or an sNDA for the orphan indication. After the FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA. We intend to request Orphan Drug Designation for our product candidates, if applicable. For example, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation for patisiran and vutrisiran as therapeutic approaches for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis, givosiran as a therapeutic approach for AHP, lumasiran as a therapeutic approach for PH1, fitusiran as a therapeutic approach for hemophilia A and B, and inclisiran as a therapeutic approach for HoFH.

If a product that has Orphan Drug Designation subsequently receives the first FDA approval for the disease for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to Orphan Drug Exclusivity, which means that the FDA may not approve for seven years any other applications, including a full NDA, to market the “same drug” for the same indication, except in limited circumstances. For purposes of small molecule drugs, the FDA defines “same drug” as a drug that contains the same active moiety and is intended for the same use as the previously approved orphan drug. For purposes of large molecule drugs, the FDA defines “same drug” as a drug that contains the same principal molecular structural features, but not necessarily all of the same structural features, and is intended for the same use as the previously approved drug. Notwithstanding the above definitions, a drug that is "clinically superior" to an orphan drug will not be considered the “same drug” and thus will not be blocked by Orphan Drug Exclusivity. To demonstrate a drug is “clinically superior” to the previously approved orphan drug, a sponsor must show that the drug provides a significant therapeutic advantage over and above the previously already approved drug in terms of greater efficacy, greater safety, or by providing a major contribution to patient care.

A designated orphan drug may not receive Orphan Drug Exclusivity for a use that is broader than the indication for which it received Orphan Drug Designation and regulatory approval. In addition, Orphan Drug Exclusivity may be lost if the FDA later determines that the Orphan Drug Designation request was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantities of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition, or if the manufacturer chooses to provide consent to approval of other applications.

Pediatric Study Plans

The FDCA requires that a sponsor who is planning to submit a marketing application for a drug or biological product that includes a new active ingredient, new indication, new dosage form, new dosing regimen or new route of administration submit an initial Pediatric Study Plan, or PSP, within sixty days of an end-of-phase 2 meeting or as may be agreed between the sponsor and the FDA. Drugs with Orphan Drug Designation are exempt from these requirements to the extent that the indication being sought under the marketing application is within the scope of the designated orphan use. The initial PSP must include an outline of the pediatric study or studies that the sponsor plans to conduct, including study objectives and design, age groups, relevant endpoints and statistical approach, or a justification for not including such detailed information, and any request for a deferral of pediatric assessments or a full or partial waiver of the requirement to provide data from pediatric studies along with supporting information. The FDA and the sponsor must reach agreement on the initial PSP. A sponsor can submit amendments to an agreed-upon initial PSP at any time if changes to the PSP need to be considered based on data collected from nonclinical studies, early phase clinical trials, and/or other clinical development programs.

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 22 headings are on that chain and 16 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
