PURPOSE

• To evaluate the rate of N-terminal prohormone of brain

natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) progressor indices 1

and 2 observed at various intervals in the ATTRibute-CM

efficacy population in patients with symptomatic

transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)

CONCLUSIONS

  • Acoramidis treatment leads to significant improvement in NT-proBNP progressor indices as compared to placebo
  • These results indicate that acoramidis reduces ATTR-CM disease progression, likely resulting in the reduction of subsequent clinical events

BACKGROUND

• ATTR-CM is an infiltrative, restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by

the destabilization of transthyretin (aka prealbumin) tetramers1-5

• NT-proBNP is a biomarker of disease progression and predicts

mortality in ATTR-CM.6 The following progressor indices have

been described:

- Progressor index 1: an increase in NT-proBNP (>30% and

>300 pg/mL) can signal disease progression6

- Progressor index 2: increases in NT-proBNP >500 pg/mL

and >1000 pg/mL at Month 12 after diagnosis can predict

subsequent mortality in wild-typeATTR-CM7

• Acoramidis is a novel, investigational transthyretin oral stabilizer

for the treatment of patients with ATTR-CM8-10

• The 30-month, phase 3 study of acoramidis vs placebo in ATTR-

CM (ATTRibute-CM, NCT03860935; 90% wild-typeATTR-CM)

RESULTS

Baseline demographic and disease characteristics

  • As previously reported, baseline demographics and clinical characteristics in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population were well balanced between the treatment groups (Table)10

  • The rise in NT-proBNP from baseline to Month 30 observed with placebo was attenuated with acoramidis treatment. The ratio of the adjusted geometric mean fold change from baseline to Month 30 between the 2 treatment groups was 0.529 (95% CI: 0.463, 0.604; p<0.0001) (Figure 1)

  • For progressor index 2 (>500 pg/mL, imputed values), a 14.5% absolute reduction in the rate of progressors was observed with acoramidis at the end of year 1 (Months 9-12)
    (p =0.0005), gradually increasing to reach 25.8% at Months 27-30 (p<0.0001) (Figure 3)
  • For progressor index 2 (>1000 pg/mL, imputed values), an 8.7% absolute reduction in the rate of progressors was observed with acoramidis at the end of year 1 (Months 9-12) (p=0.0305), gradually increasing to reach 26.6% at Months 27-30 (p<0.0001) (Figure 3)

METHODS

  • Details of the study design have been previously published10
  • The efficacy analysis was conducted in the modified intent-to- treat (mITT) population, which consisted of randomized participants who had a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate of ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 10
  • Rates of NT-proBNP progressor indices 1 and 2 (imputed
    and observed) at 3-month intervals in the ATTRibute-CM study are reported. The denominators for both rates were 409 (acoramidis) and 202 (placebo)
  • Cochran-Mantel-Haenszelstatistical testing was applied for the comparison of imputed values between groups
  • At all 3-month intervals from end of year 1 (Months 9-12) to the end of the study (Months 27-30), the distribution for both NT-proBNP progressor indices favored acoramidis over placebo (Figures 2 and 3)
  • For progressor index 1 (imputed values), a 13.5% absolute reduction in the rate of progressors was observed with acoramidis at the end of year 1 (Months 9-12) (p=0.0013) and gradually increased, reaching 28.9% at Months 27-30 (p<0.0001) (Figure 2)
