Tivanisiran is based on gene silencing technology using RNA interference (RNAi) and selectively inhibits production of the transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPV1). The design of the protocol for the trial and its authorization are based on the scientific evidence of safety and efficacy obtained in the phase 3 HELIX trial.
