Objectives

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of **acoramidis** in preventing transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), specifically cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) or polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN), in asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant who are at risk of developing ATTR but have no clinical evidence of disease at study entry. This is clinically relevant as it aims to intervene early in the disease process, potentially preventing the onset of symptomatic ATTR, which can lead to significant morbidity.

Secondary objectives include:

  • Determining the efficacy of acoramidis in preventing cardiomyopathy due to ATTR (ATTR-CM) in asymptomatic carriers with a pathogenic TTR variant.
  • Determining the efficacy of acoramidis in preventing polyneuropathy due to ATTR (ATTR-PN) in asymptomatic carriers with a pathogenic TTR variant.
  • Assessing the development of ATTR in asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant.
  • Determining the efficacy of acoramidis in preventing symptomatic ATTR (ATTR-CM or ATTR-PN, whichever occurs first) in asymptomatic carriers with a pathogenic TTR variant who are at risk of developing ATTR but have no clinical evidence of disease at study entry.
  • Assessing the development of symptomatic ATTR in asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant.
  • Evaluating the safety and tolerability of acoramidis administered to asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant.

Participants

The clinical trial involves a total of **323 participants** who are asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant, placing them at risk of developing **Transthyretin Amyloidosis**. The study population includes both male and female subjects, aged between 18 and 75 years. Participants were selected based on their established genotype, confirmed through a medically-genetically indicated test of a TTR gene variant known to be pathogenic. The trial includes individuals who are at risk but exhibit no clinical evidence of the disease at the study's commencement. Lifestyle considerations such as diet and physical activity are not specified, but participants must agree to use highly effective contraception methods during the study. The trial population is not limited to any specific health status beyond the genetic predisposition to the condition, and it includes a vulnerable population. Key inclusion criteria require participants to be within a specific age range relative to the PADO for their variant, and they must provide informed consent prior to participation.

Plans and Procedures

The clinical trial is designed as a **randomized**, **double-blind**, **placebo-controlled** study to evaluate the efficacy of **Acoramidis** in preventing **Transthyretin Amyloidosis** in asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant. The trial will involve participants aged 18 to 75 years who meet specific genetic criteria and are at risk of developing the disease. The study will be conducted over an estimated period, with recruitment starting in January 2025 and completion expected by November 2031. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Acoramidis or a matching placebo, administered orally in tablet form.

The trial will include several key visits: an initial screening visit to confirm eligibility, regular follow-up visits to monitor participants' health and response to the treatment, and an end-of-study visit to assess the primary and secondary endpoints. The primary endpoint is the time to development of ATTR, while secondary endpoints include the time to development of ATTR-CM and ATTR-PN, and the proportion of participants experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events. Participants are expected to be involved in the study for a maximum treatment period of 84 days, with conditions for early termination including the development of significant adverse events or withdrawal of consent.

Inclusion criteria require participants to provide informed consent, have a confirmed pathogenic TTR variant, and meet age-related criteria based on their genetic profile. Exclusion criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided data. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the prevention of Transthyretin Amyloidosis, contributing to the understanding and management of this rare disease. The trial is categorized as a Phase 3 study, aligning with regulatory guidelines for clinical research.

Treatment

The clinical trial involves the administration of **Acoramidis (AG10)**, an investigational medication designed to prevent Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR) in asymptomatic carriers with a pathogenic TTR variant. **Acoramidis Hydrochloride** is the active substance in this formulation. The pharmaceutical form of Acoramidis is a tablet, and it is administered orally. The maximum daily dose is 1424 mg, with a total maximum dose of 3638320 mg over a treatment period of 84 days. The medication is produced by Eidos Therapeutics, Inc., and is classified as a chemical substance. Participant compliance with the dosing schedule will be monitored throughout the study.

The study also includes the use of a **matching placebo** to maintain the double-blind nature of the trial. The placebo is designed to mimic the appearance and administration route of the Acoramidis tablets, ensuring that neither the participants nor the investigators are aware of the treatment assignments. The placebo is administered orally in the same frequency and form as the active medication, ensuring consistency in the administration process. The use of a placebo is critical in evaluating the efficacy of Acoramidis in preventing the onset of ATTR in the study population.

Efficacy

The efficacy of Acoramidis in preventing **Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR)** will be assessed in a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The primary endpoint for evaluating efficacy is the time to development of ATTR, specifically ATTR-CM (cardiomyopathy) or ATTR-PN (polyneuropathy), whichever occurs first. Secondary endpoints include the time to development of ATTR-CM and ATTR-PN, the proportion of participants who develop ATTR by the study's completion, the time to development of symptomatic ATTR and ATTR-CM, and the proportion of participants who develop symptomatic ATTR. Additionally, the trial will monitor the proportion of participants experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), AEs leading to treatment discontinuation, and clinically relevant abnormalities in physical examinations, vital signs, ECG parameters, and clinical safety laboratory parameters.

Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Participants must be willing and able to give signed informed consent for study procedures. Informed consent must be obtained prior to initiation of study procedures.
  • Male or female ≥ 18 to ≤ 75 years of age inclusive when signing the informed consent. The minimum age requirement will comply with local regulatory requirements.
  • Participants must have an established genotype (hetero- or homozygosity) through a medically indicated genetic test of a TTR gene variant that is known to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic. Participants with rare pathogenic TTR variants documented to be cardiac radionuclide uptake negative may be included in the trial, provided the participant can be assessed for the primary ATTR-CM endpoint For further details, please refer to the protocol.
  • Participant’s age is within 10 years younger than or older than PADO. The participant may be older than PADO. For example, if PADO for a given participant is determined to be 50 years, that participant must be at least 40 years of age (≥ 40) and less than or equal to 75 years of age (≤ 75). Please refer to the Genotype Manual for details on the calculation of PADO. For further details, please refer to the protocol.
  • Agree to the use of highly effective contraception: a. FEMALE: WOCBP (defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant) who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception beginning before a radionuclide cardiac amyloid imaging with SPECT is performed during the screening period and continuing for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Female participants using oral contraceptives must agree to use an additional birth control method, whisch may include a double-barrier method. b. MALE: A male participant who has not had a vasectomy and is sexually active with a female of childbearing potential must agree to use a double-barrier method of birth control during the study and continue for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Males must agree to refrain from sperm donation for a minimum of 30 days post the last dose of the study drug.
