 Summary

      After the double-blind period (33 to 36 months), all remaining eligible patients were allowed to receive vutrisiran in an OLE for up to 24 months.2

o        Through Month 12 of the OLE, treatment with vutrisiran compared with placebo reduced the risk in time to first CV event or all-cause mortality by 37% in the overall population (timetofirst: HR = 0.631, 95% CI: 0.506, 0.788; P=0.0001) and 42% in the monotherapy population (time-to-first: HR = 0.577, 95% CI: 0.436, 0.762; P=0.0002).2

o        Additional endpoints assessed at Month 12 of the OLE included ACM and changes from baseline in KCCQ-OS, NYHA class, NT-proBNP, and troponin I in the overall and monotherapy populations.2

o        As of Month 12 of the OLE, the median exposure to vutrisiran was 47.5 months (range 0.6-60.5) for the vutrisiran/vutrisiran group and 13.7 months (range 0.6-22.1) for the placebo/vutrisiran group. The safety of vutrisiran treatment in the OLE was consistent with results from the double-blind period.2

 Study Design

HELIOS-B was a phase 3, global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran in patients with ATTR-CM, including both hATTR and wtATTR. Patients were randomized (1:1) to receive either vutrisiran 25 mg (n=326) or placebo (n=329) every 3 months by subcutaneous injection for up to 36 months. The primary endpoint was the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events (CV hospitalizations and urgent heart failure visits) at the end of the double-blind period in the overall population and in the monotherapy population (patients not receiving tafamidis at baseline).1

After the double-blind period, all remaining eligible patients were allowed to receive vutrisiran in an OLE for up to 24 months (Figure 1). Of the 478 patients who completed the double-blind period, 466 patients (97%) entered the OLE. As of the data cutoff for Month 12 of the OLE, 213 patients who initially received vutrisiran and 189 patients who initially received placebo in the double-blind period have continued treatment.2

 Efficacy Results

Composite of All-Cause Mortality and Recurrent CV Events

Treatment with vutrisiran compared with placebo reduced the risk in time to first CV event or all-cause mortality through Month 48 (Month 12 of the OLE) by 37% in the overall population (time-to-first: HR = 0.631, 95% CI: 0.506, 0.788; P=0.0001) and 42% in the monotherapy population (time-to-first: HR =  0.577, 95% CI: 0.436, 0.762; P=0.0002) (Figure 2).2

Treatment with vutrisiran compared with placebo reduced the risk of all-cause mortality through Month 48 (Month 12 of the OLE) by 37% in the overall population (time-to-event: HR = 0.626, 95% CI: 0.464, 0.843; P=0.0023) and 39% in the monotherapy population (time-to-event: HR = 0.607, 95% CI: 0.426, 0.866; P=0.0070) (Figure 3).2

Cardiac Biomarkers

NT-proBNP

Treatment with vutrisiran compared with placebo resulted in an adjusted geometric mean fold-change ratio of 0.66 (95% CI: 0.58, 0.74) and 0.55 (95% CI: 0.47, 0.64) for NT-proBNP from baseline to Month 12 of the OLE in the overall and monotherapy populations, respectively (Figures 5 and 6).2

Troponin I

Treatment with vutrisiran compared with placebo resulted in an adjusted geometric mean fold-change ratio of 0.71 (95% CI: 0.64, 0.79) and 0.57 (95% CI: 0.49, 0.65) for troponin I from baseline to Month 12 of the OLE in the overall and monotherapy populations, respectively (Figures 5 and 6).2

 Safety Results

The median exposure to vutrisiran was 47.5 months (range 0.6-60.5) for the vutrisiran/vutrisiran group and 13.7 months (range 0.6-22.1) for the placebo/vutrisiran group. The exposure-adjusted event rates per 100 PY of the placebo/vutrisiran and vutrisiran/vutrisiran groups are summarized in Table 3.2

The safety data for long-term treatment with vutrisiran through Month 12 of the OLE were consistent with those reported for the double-blind period. The rates of AEs did not increase with longer treatment. Higher event rates for SAEs and severe AEs in the placebo/vutrisiran group compared with the vutrisiran/vutrisiran group were consistent with more advanced disease following placebo treatment during the double-blind period.2
