Acoramidis and Early sTTR Rise: Biomarker-Driven Insights into Survival | JACC Baran
Manage episode 485328132 series 3609188
Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, and co-hosts Kentaro Ejiri, MD, and Satoshi Shoji, MD, are joined by HFpEF expert Hidenori Yaku, MD, from Northwestern University, for a deep dive into early treatment response to acoramidis, an amyloid stabilizer recently approved in Japan. They discuss its impact on serum transthyretin (sTTR) levels and the emerging role of sTTR as a dynamic biomarker of treatment efficacy. The episode explores the clinical relevance of early sTTR elevation, key insights from the ATTRibute-CM trial—including mediation and logistic regression analyses—and the use of waterfall plots to visualize treatment response. The team also compares acoramidis with tafamidis and vutrisiran, and looks ahead to the evolving therapeutic landscape of ATTR-CM, including gene editing and amyloid removal strategies.
