The following dosing information is available for ONPATTRO (patisiran sodium, lipid complex):
Dosage of patisiran sodium is expressed in terms of patisiran.
The recommended dosage of patisiran for the treatment of polyneuropathy in adults with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis is based on actual body weight. Patients weighing <100 kg should receive a dosage of 0.3 mg/kg by IV infusion once every 3 weeks and patients weighing >=100 kg should receive a dosage of 30 mg by IV infusion once every 3 weeks.
If a dose of patisiran is missed, administer the missed dose as soon as possible within 3 days and administer the next dose at the regularly scheduled time (i.e., 3 weeks from the day of the missed dose). If the missed dose is not administered within 3 days, adjust the schedule of administration to maintain the recommended 3-week dosing interval.

There are no available data on patisiran use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental effects. Developmental toxicity has been observed in animal reproductive studies. Weekly administration of moderate to high doses of patisiran to pregnant rabbits during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality, reduced fetal body weights, and maternal toxicity.
No adverse developmental effects or effects on fertility were noted when patisiran (or a rodent-specific, pharmacologically active surrogate) was administered weekly to female rats starting 2 weeks prior to mating and continuing throughout pregnancy and lactation. A pregnancy registry has been established; encourage patients to enroll by calling 1-877-256-9526 or contacting alnylampregnancyprogram@iqvia.com.

It is not known whether patisiran is distributed into human milk. The drug was not detected in the milk of lactating rats; however, some lipid components of the formulation were present. The effects of patisiran on breast-fed infants or on milk production are not known. Consider the benefits of breast-feeding and the woman's clinical need for patisiran along with any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed infant from the drug or underlying maternal condition.
Among patients receiving patisiran in the principal efficacy study, 42% were >=65 years of age and 6% were >=75 years of age. Although no overall differences in safety or efficacy have been observed between geriatric patients and younger adults, the possibility of increased sensitivity to patisiran in some older individuals cannot be ruled out.
