A Study to Evaluate ALN-4324 in Overweight to Obese Healthy Volunteers and in Overweight to Obese Patients With T2DM

May 12, 2026 updated by: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled 2-part Study of the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of Single Dose ALN-4324 in Overweight to Obese Adult Healthy Volunteers and Multiple Dose ALN-4324 in Overweight to Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)

The purpose of this study is to:

  • evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of ALN-4324 in healthy volunteers and to characterize the single-dose PK of ALN-4324
  • evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple doses of ALN-4324 in adult overweight to obese patients with T2DM

IPD Plan Description

Access to Anonymized individual participant data that support these results is made available 12 months after study completion and not less than 12 months after the product and indication have been approved in the US and/or the EU.

Access to data may be declined where there is likelihood a patient could be identified or other feasibility issue, where there is a potential conflict of interest, planned business activities or an actual or potential competitive risk. Data will be provided contingent upon the approval of a research proposal and the execution of a data sharing agreement. Timeframes for data access may vary and can take up to 6 months or more.
