Ragioni e progetto di CARDIO-TTRansform, un trial di fase 3 di Eplontersen nella cardiomiopatia da amyloide con transtirosrettina.

BACKGROUND: Transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy is a progressive, fatal disease characterized by deposition of extracellular misfolded transthyretin (TTR) in the myocardium. Eplontersen is an N-acetylgalactosamine ligand-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide targeting hepatocyte TTR messenger RNA to reduce the production of circulating TTR. METHODS: CARDIO-TTRansform is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of eplontersen in transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy. Key inclusion criteria include histological evidence of amyloid deposits or grade 2 to 3 cardiac uptake on cardiac scintigraphy in the absence of plasma cel
