Amyloid deposits in the heart make the heart wall stiffen and work inefficiently. Eventually this leads to congestive heart failure with symptoms such as shortness of breath, leg swelling, fatigue, nausea and an irregular heartbeat or palpitations.</span></p> <p class="p2"><span class="s1">Recent studies have shown that other symptoms unrelated to the heart may also exist and in some cases often are present 8-10 years before heart-related symptoms, the most commonly reported is carpal tunnel syndrome. </span></p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header"> <div class="accordion-title">Diagnosis and Testing</div> <div class="toggle-icon"> <span class="icon"></span> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-content"> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">If ATTR amyloidosis is suspected, a number of tests are carried out including an abdominal fat pad biopsy to confirm the presence of amyloid deposits. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Tests are also done to determine the effect of the amyloid deposits on the heart, nerves and other organs. These tests include blood, nerve and muscle tests, echocardiogram, MRI and other types of scans. In some cases, organ biopsies may also be completed to determine organ involvement. Some scans can help identify the type of amyloidosis and distinguish ATTR from AL amyloidosis in the heart. Doctors also use other tests, called immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometry, to differentiate between ATTR and AL amyloidosis.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">To distinguish between wild-type and hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, a blood test to screen for genetic mutations causing hATTR is necessary. The absence of these genetic mutations will confirm a diagnosis of wild-type ATTR amyloidosis.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header"> <div class="accordion-title">Treatment</div> <div class="toggle-icon"> <span class="icon"></span> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-content"> <p>In ATTR amyloidosis there are several different therapeutic approaches, which aim to do one of the following:</p> <ol> <li>Stabilizing the TTR protein</li> <li>Stopping the production of TTR protein</li> <li>Removing the amyloid deposits</li> </ol> <p> </p> <p><strong>Stabilizing the TTR protein:</strong> The approach of TTR stabilizers is to stop the TTR protein from forming amyloid deposits. There are several drugs which aim to treat ATTR in this manner:</p> <ul> <li>Diflunisal – Approved in the U.S. by the FDA as a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that has shown to bind to the TTR protein in the blood and may thereby prevent the formation of amyloid.</li> <li>Vyndaqel/Vyndamax (tafamidis) – Approved on May 3, 2019 for the treatment of transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Drug factsheets:</p> <ul> <li>Vyndaqel/Vyndamax – <a href="https://arciorg.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Tafamidis-Infosheet_V2.pdf">view factsheet</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Stopping the production of TTR protein:</strong> The approach in stopping production of TTR proteins is through ‘gene silencing’. These drugs prevent TTR production by blocking the TTR gene. Several drugs using this approach have been approved for the treatment of hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis. Clinical trials testing this approach in wild-type patients are planned to open in the near future.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Removing amyloid deposits:</strong> The approach in removing amyloid deposits aims to make amyloid fibrils easier for the body to identify and remove from organs. There are currently no approved drugs aimed at removing amyloid deposits in wild-type ATTR.</p> <p> </p> <p>Drug status report:</p> <ul> <li>PRX004 – Currently being tested in clinical trials</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p class="p1"><strong>Supportive treatment:</strong> Although they do not address the underlying cause, supportive treatments are important to help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Overall, factors such as age, general health and extent of organ damage are taken into account when deciding on treatment.</p> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-item"> <div class="accordion-header"> <div class="accordion-title">Treatment Centers and Clinical Trials</div> <div class="toggle-icon"> <span class="icon"></span> <span class="icon"></span> </div> </div> <div class="accordion-content"> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Amyloidosis is a multi-system disease, meaning it affects multiple organs. It is important to be seen at a center that has experience in diagnosing and treating your type of amyloidosis. These centers will have a group of different specialists (i.e., cardiologist, hematologist, neurologist) who will be able to provide a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan.
