Annualized Rate of Porphyria Attacks in Participants With Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP)
Porphyria attacks were defined as meeting all of the following criteria: an acute episode of neurovisceral pain in the abdomen, back, chest, extremities and/or limbs, no other medically determined cause, and required treatment with intravenous (IV) dextrose or hemin, carbohydrates, or analgesics, or other medications such as antiemetics at a dose or frequency beyond the participant's usual daily porphyria management. The annualized rate of porphyria attacks is a composite endpoint which included porphyria attacks requiring hospitalization, urgent healthcare visit, or IV hemin administration at home.
Time frame: 6 months
The Pharmacodynamic (PD) Effect of Givosiran on Urine Levels of Delta-aminolevulinic Acid (ALA) in Participants With AIP
The PD effect of givosiran was evaluated by spot urine ALA levels normalized to spot urine creatinine levels.
Time frame: 3 and 6 months
The PD Effect of Givosiran on Urine Levels of Porphobilinogen (PBG) in Participants With AIP
The PD effect of givosiran was evaluated by spot urine PBG levels normalized to spot urine creatinine levels.
Time frame: 6 months
Annualized Rate of Hemin Administration in Participants With AIP
Annualized rate of hemin doses was evaluated as annualized days of hemin use.
Time frame: 6 months
Annualized Rate of Porphyria Attacks in Participants With AHP
Porphyria attacks were defined as meeting all of the following criteria: an acute episode of neurovisceral pain in the abdomen, back, chest, extremities and/or limbs, no other medically determined cause, and required treatment with intravenous (IV) dextrose or hemin, carbohydrates, or analgesics, or other medications such as antiemetics at a dose or frequency beyond the participant's usual daily porphyria management. The annualized rate of porphyria attacks is a composite endpoint which included porphyria attacks requiring hospitalization, urgent healthcare visit, or IV hemin administration at home.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Score of Daily Worst Pain as Measured by the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) in Participants With AIP
Participants rated worst daily pain score in an eDiary using the 11-point BPI-SF NRS, in which 0=no pain and 10=worst pain. Daily eDiary entries were averaged into a weekly (i.e. 7 day) score. The change from baseline in weekly mean scores is defined as the post baseline weekly mean score minus the baseline score. Lower scores indicate an improvement. The 6-month AUC was calculated based on change from baseline in weekly mean scores.

Average Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Score of Daily Worst Pain as Measured by the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) in Participants With AIP
Participants rated worst daily pain score in an eDiary using the 11-point BPI-SF NRS, in which 0=no pain and 10=worst pain. Daily eDiary entries were averaged into a weekly (i.e. 7 day) score. The change from baseline in weekly mean scores is defined as the postbaseline weekly mean score minus the baseline score. Lower scores indicate an improvement.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 months
AUC of the Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Score of Daily Worst Fatigue Score as Measured by the Brief Fatigue Inventory-Short Form (BFI-SF) NRS in Participants With AIP
Participants rated daily worst fatigue score in an eDiary using the 11-point BFI-SF NRS, in which 0=no fatigue and 10=worst fatigue. Daily eDiary entries were averaged into a weekly (i.e. 7 day) score. The change from baseline in weekly mean scores is defined as the post baseline weekly mean score minus the baseline score. Lower scores indicate an improvement. The 6-month AUC was calculated based on change from baseline in weekly mean scores.

AUC of the Change From Baseline in Weekly Mean Score Daily Worst Nausea Score as Measured by NRS in Participants With AIP
Participants rated worst daily nausea score in an eDiary using an 11-point NRS, in which 0=no nausea and 10=worst nausea. Daily eDiary entries were averaged into a weekly (i.e. 7 day) score. The change from baseline in weekly mean scores is defined as the postbaseline weekly mean score minus the baseline score. Lower scores indicate an improvement.

Change From Baseline in the Physical Component Summary (PCS) of the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) in Participants With AIP
The SF-12 is a survey designed for use in patients with multiple chronic conditions. This 12-item scale can be used to assess the physical and mental health of respondents. 10 of the 12 questions are answered on a 5 point likert scale and 2 are answered on a 3 point likert scale. The questions are then scored and weighted into 2 subscales, physical health and mental health. Respondents can have a score that ranges from 0-100 with 100 being the best score and indicating high physical or mental health. A 3 point change in SF-12 score reflects a meaningful difference. A higher score indicates improvement.
