Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. is in talks with “more than one” possible partner to help develop the company’s injectable drug to treat high cholesterol in patients for whom statins aren’t effective, Chief Executive Officer John Maraganore said.
The drugmaker wants to find a partner “over the next few months” to help take the treatment forward in clinical trials, Maraganore said in a telephone interview yesterday. “We are in talks with more than one party at this time,” Maraganore said. He declined to identify any of the companies that are talking with Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Alnylam.
