There are many new exciting trials in transthyretin #amyloidosis – as we continue to enroll patients in the CARDIO-TTRansform trial, I thought I would highlight some of these trials in ATTR-CM

If you recall, 2 main approaches to treating ATTR #amyloidosis with approved drugs (figure credit @frederickruberg @maz_hanna )
1)Stabilizers: bind to the TTR tetramer to stabilize it. #tafamidis , AG-10, diflunisal
2)Silencers: Inotersen and Patisiran

tafamidis is prescribed to ATTR-CM pts & inotersen/patisiran for those with hATTR polyneuropathy
But – 2 main questions in ATTR-CM
1)Which is associated with better outcomes – silencer or stabilizer?
2)Is the combination of silencer+stabilizer superior to stabilizer only?
