Impact of patisiran on polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in patients with a V122I or T60A variant: a phase IV multicenter study

This study assessed the effectiveness and safety of patisiran in patients with V122I/T60A variant transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. These variants have been under-represented in previous trials of gene-silencing agents.
This was a multicenter, phase IV study conducted at 27 sites in the USA. Patients were ≥ 18 years, diagnosed with ATTRv amyloidosis with polyneuropathy and a documented V122I or T60A variant. Patisiran-treated patients were enrolled prospectively, ambispectively, and retrospectively. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with a stable or improved polyneuropathy disability (PND) score at 12 months vs. baseline. Safety was monitored throughout the trial.
Sixty-seven patients were enrolled, of whom 58 received ≥ 1 dose of patisiran. In the efficacy population, 42/45 (93.3%) patients demonstrated stable or improved PND scores from baseline to Month 12. Patients also showed stable or improved quality of life, health status, autonomic symptoms, and cardiac function vs. baseline. Adverse events occurred in 13/42 (31.0%) patients in the prospective and ambispective cohorts; most were mild or moderate. No deaths or cardiac hospitalizations were considered related to patisiran.
Patisiran demonstrated a consistent positive effect across multiple endpoints in patients with V122I/T60A ATTRv amyloidosis, including polyneuropathy manifestations.
