 Summary

o        Endpoints in the HELIOS-B study were prespecified for assessment in both the overall population and the monotherapy population (defined as patients not receiving tafamidis at baseline).1

o        In the monotherapy population, 21.5% of patients initiated tafamidis after randomization.2

o        Treatment with vutrisiran reduced the risk of the primary composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events in both the overall population (HR 0.72; 95% CI 0.56, 0.93; P=0.01) and monotherapy population (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.49, 0.93; P=0.02).1

o        The incidence of AEs were similar in both treatment groups.1

  • In a post-hoc analysis of the HELIOS-B monotherapy population with data after patients initiated tafamidis censored, the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran monotherapy was consistent with results observed from the primary analysis.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. After the double-blind period, all remaining eligible patients were allowed to receive vutrisiran in an OLE.1

Endpoints were prespecified for assessment in both the overall population and the monotherapy population (patients not receiving tafamidis at baseline). 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.1

A total of 395 patients were not on tafamidis at baseline and comprised the monotherapy population. Patients that were not receiving tafamidis at baseline could initiate tafamidis at the discretion of the investigator. In the monotherapy population, a total of 21.5% of patients initiated tafamidis after randomization in a median (IQR) of 18 (12-28 months), which included 44 out of 196 patients (22%) in the vutrisiran group and 41 out of 199 patients (21%) in the placebo group.1,2  

Post-Hoc Analysis

A post-hoc analysis of data from the monotherapy population with observations after tafamidis initiation censored was conducted to further assess the monotherapy population in the HELIOS-B study.2

 Efficacy Results

Primary Endpoint: Composite of All-Cause Mortality and Recurrent CV Events Through the DoubleBlind Period

With censoring of observations after tafamidis initiation in the monotherapy population, treatment with vutrisiran compared with placebo resulted in a HR of 0.68 (95% CI 0.49, 0.95) in the composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events (Figure 1). The reduction in risk of the composite of allcause mortality and recurrent events was consistent with the result observed from the primary analysis without censoring (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.49, 0.93; P=0.02).2
