CONCLUSIONS
To evaluate the effect of acoramidis on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration across participant subgroups in a post hoc analysis of the ATTRibute-CM study (NCT03860935)
PURPOSE
In ATTRibute-CM, acoramidis consistently blunted the 30-month increase in NT-proBNP concentrations by approximately 50% across all participant subgroups assessed, including those with advanced disease, compared with placebo
These data demonstrate the robust efficacy of acoramidis on NT-proBNP, a key marker of ATTR-CM disease progression
Furthermore, the efficacy of acoramidis on NT-proBNP concentrations, compared with placebo, was demonstrated independently of concomitant tafamidis use
BACKGROUND
RESULTS
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an infiltrative, restrictive,
life-threatening, and progressive disease caused by destabilized transthyretin (TTR) tetramers and subsequent accumulation of amyloid fibrils in the interstitial space of the myocardium1-6
Overall, 611 participants were included in the mITT population; baseline demographics and characteristics were generally well balanced between the treatment groups (Table 1)
Baseline NT-proBNP concentrations for each subgroup are shown in Table 2
NT-proBNP is a biomarker of disease progression, and a progressive rise in its concentration is associated with increased mortality7
Acoramidis, an oral TTR stabilizer that achieves near-complete (≥ 90%) TTR stabilization, is approved in the USA, the European Union, Japan, the UK, and Switzerland for the treatment of adults with ATTR-CM8-13
In the 30-month, phase 3 ATTRibute-CM study,14acoramidis treatment significantly attenuated the rise in NT-proBNP concentrations compared with placebo (p< 0.0001)
Additionally, at Month 30, 45% of acoramidis recipients who had NT-proBNP data available at both baseline and Month 30 experienced a net decrease from baseline in their NT-proBNP concentrations, compared with 9% of those receiving placebo
The effect of acoramidis on the rise in NT-proBNP concentrations across different patient subgroups has not been fully elucidated
In total, 595 randomized participants (acoramidis, n = 397; placebo, n = 198) were included in the Month 30 analysis
p Value for Treatment Effect
METHODS
The ATTRibute-CM study design has been described previously14
Briefly, eligible adult participants (≤ 90 years old) were randomized 2:1 to receive acoramidis HCl 800 mg or placebo twice daily for 30 months
Concomitant tafamidis use was permitted after Month 12 at the discretion of the investigator
Efficacy analyses of NT-proBNP concentrations were assessed in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population, which included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of acoramidis or placebo, had at least one efficacy evaluation after baseline, and had a baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2
The adjusted geometric mean (AGM) fold change from baseline to Month 30 in NT-proBNP concentrations was analysed in the acoramidis and placebo treatment groups using a mixed effects model for repeated measures after log transformation of NT-proBNP concentrations
Missing measurements due to early discontinuation of study drug were imputed using the jump to reference method. Missing measurements due to death were imputed by sampling with replacement from the worst 5% of observed values
The AGM fold change ratio (acoramidis vs placebo) was calculated for the following
pre-specified participant subgroups: ATTR-CM genotype (wild-type vs variant), NT-proBNP (≤ 3000 vs > 3000 pg/mL), eGFR (< 45 vs ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2), age (< 78 vs ≥ 78 years), country (USA vs rest of world), and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional
class (I/II vs III)
The change from baseline to Month 30 in NT-proBNP concentrations in participants who completed the study and who received acoramidis alone or placebo alone (i.e. did not receive open-label concomitant tafamidis during the study) was also assessed
aTTR genotype was reported at randomization.

In all participant subgroups assessed, the NT-proBNP AGM fold change ratio from baseline to Month 30 favoured acoramidis over placebo (all p< 0.001), with minimal heterogeneity of treatment effect noted among subgroups ( Figure 1)
During the study, 348 participants received acoramidis alone and 156 received placebo alone; data on NT-proBNP concentrations at Month 30 were available for 232 of those receiving acoramidis and for 98 of those receiving placebo
In participants who completed the study and who received acoramidis alone, the median (Q1, Q3) change from baseline in NT-proBNP concentrations at Month 30 was 86 (−431, 617) pg/mL, compared with 1135 (440, 2634) pg/mL in those who received placebo alone (Figure 2)
