A Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Acoramidis for Transthyretin Amyloidosis Prevention in the Young (ACT-EARLY Trial)

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a disease where the normally occurring transthyretin (TTR) protein falls apart and forms amyloid, a sticky plaque- like substance that accumulates in different organs in the body and can cause damage to the organ. There are two ways that the TTR protein can fall apart. One way occurs as a person ages, where the normal TTR protein can fall apart and form amyloid that may no longer be sufficiently cleared by the body. This type of ATTR is known as wild-type ATTR (ATTRwt). The other way occurs when a person inherits a defective TTR gene that causes the TTR protein to spontaneously fall apart. This form of the disease is known as variant ATTR (ATTRv) and can be detected in adults by a genetic test of their TTR gene before they age.
Amyloid build-up in the heart causes the heart wall to become thick and stiff and can result in heart failure and even death. Accumulation of TTR amyloid in the heart is known as transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy or ATTR-CM. Amyloid can also deposit in the nerve tissues leading to nerve problems. Accumulation of TTR in the nerves is known as transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy or ATTR-PN.
Acoramidis is an experimental drug designed to bind tightly to TTR in the blood and stabilize its structure, so it does not form the harmful amyloid plaques that can cause damage to organs.
This study is intended to determine if treatment with acoramidis in participants with ATTRv who have not yet developed any symptoms of disease can prevent or delay the development of ATTR-CM or ATTR-PN disease. If adults with an inherited defective TTR gene are treated early before any of the symptoms of disease have developed, it may be possible to delay the onset or prevent the disease entirely.

BACKGROUND::

In the phase 3 randomized controlled study ATTRibute-CM (Efficacy and Safety of AG10 in Subjects With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy), acoramidis, a transthyretin stabilizer, demonstrated significant efficacy on the primary end point. Participants with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy who completed ATTRibute-CM were invited to enroll in an open-label extension study (OLE). We report the efficacy and safety data of acoramidis in participants who completed ATTRibute-CM and enrolled in the ongoing OLE.

METHODS::

Participants who previously received acoramidis through month 30 in ATTRibute-CM continued to receive it (continuous acoramidis), and those who received placebo through month 30 were switched to acoramidis (placebo to acoramidis). Participants who received concomitant tafamidis in ATTRibute-CM were required to discontinue it to be eligible to enroll in the OLE. Clinical efficacy outcomes analyzed through month 42 included time to event for all-cause mortality (ACM) or first cardiovascular-related hospitalization (CVH), ACM alone, first CVH alone, ACM or recurrent CVH, change from baseline in NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), 6-minute walk distance, serum transthyretin, and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary score. Safety outcomes were analyzed through month 42.

RESULTS::

Overall, 438 of 632 participants in ATTRibute-CM completed treatment, and 389 enrolled in the ongoing OLE (263 continuous acoramidis and 126 placebo to acoramidis). The hazard ratio for ACM or first CVH was 0.57 (95% CI, 0.46–0.72) at month 42 based on a stratified Cox proportional hazards model ( P <0.0001) favoring continuous acoramidis. Similar analyses were performed on ACM alone and first CVH alone, with hazard ratios of 0.64 (95% CI, 0.47–0.88) and 0.53 (95% CI, 0.41–0.69), respectively, at month 42. Treatment effects for NT-proBNP and 6-minute walk distance also favored continuous acoramidis. On initiation of open-label acoramidis in the placebo-to-acoramidis arm, there was a prompt increase in serum transthyretin. Quality of life assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary score was well preserved in continuous-acoramidis participants compared with the placebo-to-acoramidis participants. No new clinically important safety issues were identified in this long-term evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS::

Early initiation and continuous use of acoramidis in the ATTRibute-CM study through month 42 of the ongoing OLE study were associated with sustained clinical benefits in a contemporary transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy cohort, with no clinically important safety issues newly identified.

New therapies to treat cardiac amyloidosis

Review

Author: Kamna, Daniel ; Nguyen, Olives ; Masri, Ahmad

Purpose of review:

Review advancements in therapies for transthyretin (ATTR-CM) and immunoglobulin light chain (AL-CM) cardiac amyloidosis.

Recent findings:

In ATTR-CM, tafamidis remains the cornerstone therapy, with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for over 5 years. Acoramidis, another transthyretin stabilizer, has very recently been FDA-approved following positive results in the ATTRibute-CM trial. Vutrisiran, a transthyretin gene silencer, demonstrated efficacy in the HELIOS-B trial and awaits FDA review. Eplontersen's CARDIO-TTRansform trial, the largest ATTR-CM study to date, is expected to report by late 2025. Innovative approaches such as NTLA-2001 (a CRISPR-Cas9 therapy) and fibril depleters like ALXN2220 and coramitug are advancing in clinical trials. In AL-CM, daratumumab, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (Dara-CyBorD) has established itself as the standard of care. Novel antiplasma cell therapies include CAR-T cells and bispecific antibodies (teclistimab) and fibril depleters. Birtamimab improved survival in advanced AL-CM during the VITAL trial and is under investigation in AFFIRM-AL. Anselamimab is in phase III CARES trials, whereas AT-02 undergoes early-phase testing for ATTR-CM and AL-CM.

Summary:

The therapeutic landscape for ATTR-CM and AL-CM is rapidly evolving, driven by novel therapies targeting diverse mechanisms. Ongoing clinical trials promise to further refine the standard of care and improve outcomes for patients with cardiac amyloidosis.

Efficacy of Acoramidis on All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Hospitalization in Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy

Article

BACKGROUND:

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an underdiagnosed chronic disease associated with progressive heart failure that results in impaired quality of life, repeated hospitalizations, and premature death. Acoramidis is a selective, oral transthyretin stabilizer recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of ATTR-CM. In a phase 3, randomized, double-blind study (ATTRibute-CM [Efficacy and Safety of AG10 in Subjects With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy]), acoramidis was well tolerated and showed clinical efficacy in improving the primary endpoint, a hierarchical combination of all-cause mortality (ACM), cardiovascular-related hospitalization (CVH), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level, and 6-minute walk distance.

OBJECTIVES:

The goal of this study was to characterize the efficacy of acoramidis on ACM and CVH.

METHODS:

In ATTRibute-CM, participants with ATTR-CM were randomized 2:1 to receive acoramidis hydrochloride (800 mg twice daily) or placebo for 30 months. Efficacy analyses were conducted in the modified intention-to-treat population (participants with a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m²). CVH and the composite of ACM or first CVH were plotted by using Kaplan-Meier curves and summarized with a stratified Cox proportional hazards model. The annualized frequency of CVH was analyzed by using a negative binomial regression model. Subgroup analyses were conducted for the composite of ACM or first CVH.

RESULTS:

Of the 632 participants randomized to treatment, 611 (97%) were included in efficacy analyses (acoramidis, n = 409; placebo, n = 202). Compared with placebo, acoramidis reduced the occurrence of the composite of ACM or first CVH (acoramidis, 35.9%; placebo, 50.5%; HR: 0.64; 95% CI: 0.50-0.83; P = 0.0008) and of first CVH (acoramidis, 26.7%; placebo, 42.6%; HR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.45-0.80; P = 0.0005), with Kaplan-Meier curves separating at month 3 and continuing to diverge through month 30. Annualized frequency of CVH was reduced with acoramidis compared with placebo (acoramidis, 0.22; placebo, 0.45; relative risk ratio: 50%; 95% CI: 0.36-0.70; P < 0.0001). The efficacy of acoramidis on the composite of ACM or first CVH was consistent across subgroups. Acoramidis was well tolerated, with no safety signals of potential clinical concern identified.

CONCLUSIONS:

In participants with ATTR-CM, acoramidis reduced the composite of ACM or first CVH vs placebo, with an early effect driven by a reduction in CVH. (Efficacy and Safety of AG10 in Subjects With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy [ATTRibute-CM]; NCT03860935).

Key data from the ATTRibute-CM study include: In as few as 3 months, the time to first event (all-cause mortality (ACM) or cardiovascular-related hospitalization (CVH)) durably separated relative to placeboA 42% reduction in composite ACM and recurrent CVH events relative to placebo at Month 30A 50% reduction in the cumulative frequency of CVH events relative to placebo at Month 30 BridgeBio will receive a $30 million milestone payment from Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, with royalties in the low double digits on net sales of Beyonttra in Japan PALO ALTO, Calif., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”), a new type of biopharmaceutical company focused on genetic diseases, today announced the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has approved acoramidis, under the brand name Beyonttra, for the treatment of adults with transthyretin-mediated amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Acoramidis is a selective small molecule, orally administered, near-complete (≥90%) transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer. Relative increases in serum TTR concentrations resulting from greater TTR stability have been associated with reduced risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population in recent literature.1 ATTR-CM is a progressive, fatal disease that presents as an infiltrative, restrictive cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure. Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease will be responsible for all commercial activity for Beyonttra in Japan. “There is significant need for new treatment options for ATTR-CM, a progressive, fatal disease, worldwide. This latest approval marks an important development for the ATTR-CM community, and we are pleased that patients living with this condition in Japan now have a new treatment option that offers early and sustained reductions in cardiovascular events,” said Dr. Jonathan Fox, BridgeBio Cardiorenal Chief Medical Officer. The approval in Japan is based on positive results from a Phase 3 open-label, single-arm study conducted in Japan by Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, and the positive results from the global ATTRibute-CM Phase 3 study. In the Japanese trial, acoramidis was generally well tolerated and 0% mortality was reported during the 30-month acoramidis treatment period. BridgeBio’s global ATTRibute-CM Phase 3 trial showed early separation at 3 months in time to first event (ACM or CVH) durably separated relative to placebo. Furthermore, within the global ATTRibute-CM trial acoramidis led to a 42% reduction in composite ACM and recurrent CVH events relative to placebo at Month 30, as well as a 50% reduction in the cumulative frequency of CVH events relative to placebo at Month 30. Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, maintains an exclusive license with BridgeBio’s affiliate, Eidos Therapeutics, Inc. to develop and commercialize acoramidis in Japan. Based on the terms of the agreement, BridgeBio will receive a $30 million milestone payment upon approval in Japan, as well as royalties in the low double digits on sales of acoramidis in Japan, with commercialization efforts planned in the first half of 2025. 1Christoffersen M et al.

Alnylam hopes its broad ATTR-CM label can give Amvuttra an edge in heart disease

Alnylam will likely face challenges in turning a profit this year, despite executives promising to do so. But the label for its newly-approved Amvuttra indication may give it an advantage over its rivals Pfizer and BridgeBio. That’s because Amvuttra’s label for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, or ATTR-CM, is broader than its competitors, saying it reduces the likelihood of hospitalization, death and urgent heart failure visits. Pfizer’s Vyndaqel/Vyndamax franchise, approved in 2019, and BridgeBio’s recently-approved Attruby are only indicated to reduce hospitalization and death. “The inclusion of urgent heart failure visits is unique and recognizes the effects that we’re also seeing on this important consequence of ATTR-cardiomyopathy,” Alnylam chief medical officer Pushkal Garg said on an investor call Thursday evening. Garg touted the broader label as key to getting Amvuttra in as many first-line patients as possible. Wall Street appeared to like what it saw as well after the FDA approved the drug for the rare heart disease. After a trading halt Thursday afternoon, Alnylam’s stock $ALNY was up more than 10% in Friday’s session. Most analysts expect getting Amvuttra into first-line patients will determine whether Alnylam is profitable this year, and they don’t think it will be easy. Both Vyndaqel/Vyndamax and Attruby are oral stabilizers, a class that’s been on the market for several years that works by stabilizing the TTR protein and preventing misfolding. Amvuttra, meanwhile, is the first therapy approved in its class for ATTR-CM, reducing the expression of the TTR gene through RNA interference. There’s also a wrinkle when it comes to second-line patients who could switch from the Pfizer and BridgeBio drugs to Amvuttra: There is no formal definition for ATTR-CM disease progression. The decisions that patients and their doctors make about which therapy to take — one of the Pfizer/BridgeBio stabilizers, Alnylam’s silencer or both mechanisms in combination — will be made on a case-by-case basis. In an interview before Thursday’s approval, CEO Yvonne Greenstreet told Endpoints News the company can support a successful launch in ATTR-CM by leveraging its existing physician network for doctors who prescribe Amvuttra in its other indication, hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR) with polyneuropathy. She also said she believes Alnylam’s clinical trial data will make patients’ choices easier, regardless of whether they’ve taken a stabilizer before. “The simpler it is for physicians, the easier it is for them to come to a determination,” Greenstreet told Endpoints. “But I have to say that, even without specific, clear guidelines with, let’s say, one biomarker to assess, physicians are able to interpret whether their patients are progressing or not.” The company is forecasting revenues between $1.6 billion and $1.725 billion for its ATTR medicines (Amvuttra and Onpattro) this year after they made about $1.2 billion in 2024, giving them what Greenstreet has called a “path to profitability.” Alnylam lost $278 million last year. Alnylam is maintaining the same price of about $476,000 per year for Amvuttra in ATTR-CM as it had for hATTR. It’s nearly double what Pfizer and BridgeBio charge for their drugs, at around $250,000 and $244,500, respectively. Despite that, analysts largely saw the label as a win for Alnylam in notes out to investors Thursday evening and Friday morning. TD Cowen’s Ritu Baral wrote the inclusion of urgent heart failure visits will help in payer talks, “especially for front line use,” as ATTR-CM care has moved into the outpatient setting. With the pricing information confirmed, Baral estimates $254 million in ATTR-CM sales and peak sales of $2.3 billion by 2030. Stifel analyst Paul Matteis, meanwhile, wrote that he believes investor fixation on label language was overblown, questioning whether it would have an impact on patient uptake. But the fact that Alnylam was able to deliver on a differentiated label is still a success. “How much this will matter remains open for debate, but on the margin it could help with the marketing message and it also may be helpful with [Alnylam’s] ability to maintain premium pricing,” Matteis wrote. That high price may make some payers balk in insurance discussions, Leerink analyst Mani Foroohar noted. Most of the patient population is covered under Medicare Part B, however, giving doctors different prescribing incentives. Greenstreet said that about 70% of patients taking Amvuttra for hATTR pay no out-of-pocket costs, and she expects Alnylam to eventually get to about that level in ATTR-CM as well. That dynamic, when combined with the data and label, are all the pieces Alnylam needs to put together.

Alnylam Drug Approval Brings Cardiomyopathy Competition to Pfizer, BridgeBio Pharma - MedCity News

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals has landed a long-awaited FDA decision that expands use of its drug, Amvuttra, to the treatment of a type of cardiomyopathy that’s growing in prevalence. It’s the second FDA approval in this indication in four months and the third overall, introducing new competition to the treatment of a disease that leads to heart failure and frequent hospitalizations, often becoming fatal within five years of diagnosis. Amvuttra is now approved for treating adults who develop cardiomyopathy from transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), a disease in which abnormal versions of the liver protein transthyretin (TTR) lead to buildup of amyloid proteins in body tissue. The regulatory decision announced late Thursday covers ATTR cardiomyopathy that develops naturally as well as disease that is hereditary. Amvuttra is the third medication approved for ATTR cardiomyopathy, behind products from Pfizer that have become the standard of care and a BridgeBio Pharma drug approved last fall. But Amvuttra introduces a new mechanism of action to the disease. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Alnylam specializes in RNA interference drugs, therapies that deliver small pieces of RNA to “silence” a gene, knocking down production of a disease-causing protein. Amvuttra is designed to lower levels of the TTR proteins that drive ATTR. The drug, administered as an injection every three months, was first approved in 2022 as a treatment for polyneuropathy caused by the disease. presented by Health Tech The 5 Best Software to Buy for Managing a Spa Franchise Choosing the right software translates directly into better client management, operational efficiency and growth for your spa franchise. Discover which tool is best for your business. By Meevo FDA approval of Amvuttra in ATTR cardiomyopathy is based on data from a placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, HELIOS-B, whose main goal was measuring death from all causes and recurrent cardiovascular events. The results on this composite endpoint showed Amvuttra achieved the statistically significant 28% reduction during the treatment period of up to 36 months. On a secondary goal measuring mortality, results showed a 36% reduction through 42 months. Results were published last August in the New England Journal of Medicine. “We believe Amvuttra has the potential to become a new standard of care in ATTR cardiomyopathy,” Alnylam CEO Yvonne Greenstreet said, speaking during a Thursday evening conference call. “Our confidence stems from the success of the HELIOS-B study, which demonstrated a therapeutic profile for Amvuttra that is supportive of first-line potential.” Pfizer won the first FDA approvals in ATTR cardiomyopathy in 2019. Its drug, tafamidis, marketed as Vyndaqel (a four-times-a-day capsule) and Vyndamax (a once-daily capsule), binds to mutant TTR protein, stabilizing it in order to prevent the protein buildup characteristic of ATTR. Though this Pfizer small molecule is approved in other countries for treating ATTR polyneuropathy, its U.S. approval only covers cardiomyopathy caused by the disease. Pfizer reported $5.5 billion in global sales for the Vyndaqel family of products in 2024, a 65% increase over the prior year. Most of the product’s revenue comes from the U.S. FDA approval of BridgeBio drug Attruby last November brings new cardiomyopathy competition. The twice-daily pill won European regulatory approval last month. Like the Pfizer drugs, Attruby is a TTR stabilizer. But BridgeBio contends its drug is the better stabilizer, with product label language stating the pill achieves “near-complete stabilization” of the target protein. presented by Artificial Intelligence Why Your Patients Are Leaving and How to Stop It Patient expectations continue to evolve, and healthcare practices that fail to adapt risk more than just revenue—they risk losing trust. By Bryan Sequeira, Director, Product Management Greenway Health Acknowledging the caveats that come with cross-trial comparisons, some differences could affect how prescribers and patients view these therapies. The reduction in cardiovascular hospitalizations and urgent heart failure visits with Amvuttra were well below what Attruby showed in its trial, Leerink Partners analyst Mani Foroohar wrote in a note sent to investors Friday. But William Blair’s Myles Minter highlights the Alnylam drug’s data on all-cause mortality as an edge over Attruby, which did not achieve statistical significance on this measure in its pivotal study. The label of Pfizer’s tafamidis includes a mortality benefit. “Given [all-cause mortality] claims and the totality of data in Amvuttra’s label, which derives from a patient population of whom some were on background tafamidis treatment, we see Amvuttra as a best-in-class option for patients and healthcare providers,” Minter said. Minter added that subgroup analyses show Amvuttra use was favored across patient populations, including younger and healthier patients that reflect the current disease population. William Blair believes the Alnylam drug is well positioned for first-line use in these patients. One headwind for Amvuttra is its price. For ATTR cardiomyopathy, Alnylam said Amvuttra will carry the same wholesale price as it does in ATTR polyneuropathy, which is about $119,000 per injection or $476,000 annually. In an investor presentation, the company said the product’s net price will decrease over time as uptake of the drug increases. But for now, patients will have less expensive options with Pfizer’s ATTR cardiomyopathy drugs, which carry a $267,987 annual list price, and BridgeBio’s Attruby priced at $244,500 a year. With a significantly higher list price, Leerink analysts expect challenges getting payers to cover Amvuttra in the new indication. But William Blair analysts see Amvuttra’s label as strong enough to secure broad payer coverage. The firm also sees quarterly injections as an advantage because this dosing regimen boosts compliance compared to needing to remember to take a pill every day. Amvuttra’s approval in cardiomyopathy offers the opportunity to address a much bigger market than polyneuropathy, one that Alnylam estimates is 300,000 patients globally. Furthermore, most of these patients undiagnosed, offering opportunity the company the opportunity to reach new patients. In 2024, Alnylam reported Amvuttra accounted for $970.5 million in revenue in the polyneuropathy indication. With the new approval, the company expects $1.6 billion to $1.725 billion in TTR product revenue this year. Though Amvuttra is already available for polyneuropathy, Alnylam is projecting a second-half 2025 launch for the drug as the company continues discussions with payers on value-based agreements for Amvuttra and secures formulary placement for the drug in its new indication. Amvuttra is still under review in other countries. Alnylam expects a regulatory decision in Japan in the second quarter of this year; additional decisions in Europe, Brazil, and Canada are expected later this year. In the nearer term, Alnylam is set to present additional Amvuttra data during the American Cardiology Conference in Chicago at the end of March. Photo by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals
