Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Acoramidis in ATTR-CM: Initial Report From the Open-Label Extension of the ATTRibute-CM Trial.

Abstract

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.
