ATTR-CM Impact
ATTR-CM is a life-threatening progressive heart
condition
that negatively impacts patients1-3
Actor portrayals.
Without early detection, ATTR-CM—
a debilitating condition—can lead to1,4:
ATTR-CM can be challenging to recognize and diagnose5,6
Symptoms can mirror other serious conditions or appear unrelated to a heart condition.
- Shortness of breath
- Swelling in legs and feet
-
Gastrointestinal problems
- Tiredness or weakness
- Irregular heartbeat
- Carpal tunnel
High prevalence of ATTR-CM in patients with certain
comorbid conditions6,7
Many patients remain undiagnosed, so the total population remains unknown7,8
Better identify cardiac and extracardiac
signs of ATTR-CM

INDICATION
Attruby™ (acoramidis) is indicated for the treatment of cardiomyopathy of wild-type or variant transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults to reduce cardiovascular death and cardiovascular-related hospitalization.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Adverse Reactions
Diarrhea (11.6% vs 7.6%) and upper abdominal pain (5.5% vs 1.4%) were
reported in patients treated with Attruby versus placebo,
respectively. The majority of these adverse reactions were mild and
resolved without drug discontinuation.
Discontinuation rates due to adverse events were similar between patients treated with Attruby versus placebo (9.3% and 8.5%, respectively).
Laboratory Tests
Mean increase in serum creatinine of 0.2 and 0.0 mg/dL and a mean
decrease in eGFR of 8.2 and 0.7 mL/min/1.73 m2 was
observed in the
adults with ATTR-CM treated with Attruby versus placebo,
respectively, at Day 28 and then stabilized. These changes were
reversible after treatment discontinuation.
Use in Specific Populations
Pregnancy & Lactation: There are no data on the use of Attruby in pregnant women. Animal data have not shown developmental risk associated with the use of Attruby in pregnancy. There are no available data on the presence of Attruby in either human or animal milk or the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant or maternal milk production.
