BridgeBio (BBIO) Pharma presented results showing statistically significant improvements in clinical outcomes as compared to placebo for time to all-cause mortality or first cardiovascular-related hospitalization in both variant and wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy patients from a pre-specified subgroup analysis of ATTRibute-CM, its Phase 3 trial of acoramidis in ATTR-CM. These data were presented at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Sessions & Expo in a poster presentation by Margot Davis, M.D. of Vancouver General Hospital, Canada. “Variant ATTR-CM patients’ condition often presents at an earlier age and progresses more rapidly than patients with wild-type disease, which translates into a worse prognosis in many such patients. We know that pathogenic TTR variant tetramers are less stable than the wild-type tetramer and this property is directly responsible for the more aggressive disease trajectory for these patients. The findings from the ATTRibute-CM trial clearly demonstrate that the rapid and sustained increases in serum TTR levels upon initiation of acoramidis treatment in variant ATTR-CM patients were similar if not greater than those observed in wild-type ATTR-CM patients. This provides evidence that acoramidis is the only disease-modifying therapy that provides near-complete stabilization of TTR, improving clinical outcomes in both variant and wild-type ATTR-CM patients to an extent that is independently statistically significant in both subgroups,” said Jonathan Fox, M.D., Ph.D., president and Chief Medical Officer of BridgeBio Cardiorenal.
