Differential Transthyretin Stabilization in Patients With Wild Type and Variant Transthyretin Amyloidosis

Abstract

Background

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a progressive, often fatal disease caused by transthyretin (TTR) tetramer destabilization, leading to amyloid deposition from either age-related wild type TTR or pathogenic TTR variants. TTR variants are less stable than wild type TTR, leading to lower serum TTR (sTTR) and worse clinical outcomes. TTR stabilizers, tafamidis and acoramidis, are approved for treatment of patients with ATTR-CM.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in stabilizing effect and magnitude of sTTR increases for acoramidis and tafamidis using data from the ATTRibute-CM (Efficacy and Safety of AG10 in Subjects With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy) trial.
