OBJECTIVE

• To evaluate the relationship between CVH and subsequent survival across treatment arms in ATTRibute-CM

INTRODUCTION

CONCLUSIONS

  • To our knowledge, this is the first time a prospective trial has demonstrated that CVH portends a higher subsequent mortality in patients with ATTR-CM
  • This suggests that effective treatment to reduce the need for CVH is critically important, and that highly effective, targeted therapy for ATTR-CM that reduces CVH can improve the prognosis of patients with ATTR-CM

• ATTR-CM, caused by the destabilization of the TTR (also known as prealbumin) tetramer, is a chronic disease characterized by

progressive heart failure, significantly impaired quality of life, hospitalization, and death1-3

• CVH is an indicator of higher mortality in patients with undifferentiated heart failure.4 Whether this association might be observed

in the ATTR-CM population has not been determined

• Acoramidis is a next-generation, investigational, near-complete TTR stabilizer (>90% vs placebo) for the treatment of patients with

ATTR-CM5-7

• In a phase 3 study (ATTRibute-CM, NCT03860935), acoramidis demonstrated improved clinical outcomes in patients with ATTR-CM,

including a 50% reduction in the risk of CVH compared to placebo over 30 months, with a positive treatment effect observed as

RESULTS

  • Demographics and baseline disease characteristics were mostly comparable between patients with and without CVH (Table); patients with CVH had higher baseline NT-proBNP and lower eGFR

Mortality over the 30-month treatment period, by CVH groups

  • Patients with no CVH during the study had a 30-month survival rate of 86.7% (95% CI, 82.9%-89.7%) vs 60.1% (95% CI, 52.8%-66.7%) in patients who had at least one CVH during the study (p<0.0001) (Figure)

  • Details of the study design have been previously published7
  • The mITT population (n=611) was the primary analysis population for efficacy endpoints and included randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had a baseline eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2
  • ACM and cumulative CVH were considered to be the most clinically important components within the primary hierarchical endpoint
    • ACM included CEC-reviewed and -adjudicated death, heart transplant, and implantation of CMAD, defined as a durable CMAD implanted in a participant with end-stage heart failure
    • CVH was defined as a nonelective admission to an acute care setting for cardiovascular-related morbidity that resulted in at least a 24-hour stay (or a date change, if the time of admission/discharge was not available) or an unscheduled medical visit of <24 hours due to heart failure and requiring treatment with IV diuretics
  • Kaplan-Meiercurves for patients with and without CVH were plotted in this post-hoc analysis
