Abstract
IMPORTANCE: Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a progressive disease caused by misfolded transthyretin (TTR), occurs as wild-type (ATTRwt-CM) or variant (ATTRv-CM) forms. p.Val142Ile is the most common variant in the US, linked to rapid progression and increased mortality. Acoramidis achieves near-complete (≥90%) TTR stabilization and showed clinical benefit in the 30-month ATTRibute-CM trial and through month 42 in the ongoing open-label extension (OLE).
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of acoramidis in ATTRwt-CM, ATTRv-CM, and variant subgroups (p.Val142Ile and non-p.Val142Ile).
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This international, multicenter, phase 3, randomized placebo-controlled study took place from April 2019 to May 2023 with ongoing OLE (month 42). ATTRibute-CM enrolled 632 participants with ATTR-CM; 611 of 632 were included in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population. There were 380 participants who continued into the OLE. These data were analyzed from January 2025 to July 2025.
INTERVENTIONS: Oral acoramidis, 712 mg, or placebo twice daily for 30 months, followed by 12 months of open-label treatment.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: All-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular-related hospitalizations (CVH), serum TTR, 6-minute walk distance, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary score, and N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide in participants with ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM. Post-hoc analyses were conducted in variant subgroups, including p.Val142Ile.
RESULTS: Overall, 552 participants with wild-type ATTR-CM (mean [SD] age, 78 [6.3] years; 92.0% male and 8.0% female) and 59 participants with variant ATTR-CM (mean [SD] age, 73 [7.7] years; 77.3% male and 22.7% female) were randomized (mITT population), including 35 with p.Val142Ile. Consistent efficacy was observed in wild-type and variant subgroups for ACM/CVH through month 30 and ACM through month 42. At month 30, acoramidis reduced the risk of ACM/first CVH vs placebo by 31% in ATTRwt-CM (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.52-0.90; P = .007) and by 59% in ATTRv-CM (HR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.21-0.81; P = .01). ACM was reduced through month 42 with HRs of 0.70 (95% CI, 0.50-0.98; P = .04) and 0.41 (95% CI, 0.19-0.93; P = .03) in the ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM groups, respectively. Consistent treatment benefit was observed in participants with ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM for secondary end points. Within variant subgroups (p.Val142Ile vs non-p.Val142Ile), consistent treatment benefits were observed for ACM/CVH through month 30 and ACM through month 42.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The beneficial effect of acoramidis was observed consistently in ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM groups. These hypothesis-generating results indicate that further studies are warranted to better characterize the therapeutic benefit of acoramidis in variant subgroups.
