 Clinical Data

HELIOS-A

HELIOS-A was a phase 3, global, randomized, open-label study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran in patients with hATTR-PN. Patients were randomized (3:1) to receive either vutrisiran 25 mg every 3 months by subcutaneous injection (n=122) or patisiran 0.3 mg/kg every 3 weeks by IV infusion (as a reference group, n=42) for 18 months. This study used the placebo arm of the APOLLO study as an external control arm (n=77) for the primary endpoint and most other efficacy endpoints. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in mNIS+7 at 9 months.3

Exclusion Criteria

Patients were excluded from the study if the following criterion applied1:

         Received prior TTR-lowering treatment or participated in a gene therapy trial for hATTR

HELIOS-B

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 exposure period in the overall population and in the vutrisiran monotherapy population (patients not receiving tafamidis at baseline).4

Exclusion Criteria

Patients were excluded from the study if the following criterion applied2:

         Received prior TTR-lowering treatment or participated in a gene therapy trial for hATTR

 Abbreviations

ATTR-CM = transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy; CV = cardiovascular; hATTR = hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis; hATTR-PN = hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy; IV = intravenous; mNIS+7 = modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7; TTR = transthyretin; wtATTR = wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis.
