U.S., Dec. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07298044) titled 'A Study to Learn More About the Change in the Blood Levels of Transthyretin When Participants With Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Cardiomyopathy Switch From Tafamidis to Acoramidis' on Dec. 11.
Brief Summary: Transthyretin (TTR) is a protein made by the liver that helps transport thyroid hormone and vitamin A in the blood. In some people, this protein breaks down and forms harmful clumps called amyloid. TTR amyloid gets deposited in the heart wall and stops it from pumping blood properly, which may lead to heart failure. The breakage in TTR protein can be age-related (wild-type ATTR-CM), or genetic (variant ATTR-CM).
