Brief Description

This is a Phase 3, global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK, and PD of nucresiran in adult patients with ATTR amyloidosis (hereditary or wt) with cardiomyopathy. 

The purpose of this study is to:

  • Evaluate the efficacy of nucresiran compared to placebo on reducing all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CV) events
  • Evaluate the efficacy of nucresiran compared to placebo on additional assessments of CV events and/or death
  • Evaluate the efficacy of nucresiran compared to placebo on patient-reported health status and health-related quality of life
THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Patients with hATTR or wtATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy regardless of use of TTR stabilizer will be identified and contacted by the research team about study participation.

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive either nucresiran or placebo. 

The study consists of 4 periods:
1. Screening Period: Up to 45 days, during which patients will undergo screening
assessments to determine eligibility.
2. Double-blind (DB) Period:
• Eligible patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio on Day 1 to receive 300 mg of
nucresiran or placebo via SC injection once every 6 months (q6M).
• Assessments will be collected throughout the DB Period as outlined in the Schedule
of Assessments (Table 1).
• Using an event-driven trial design, the primary analysis will be conducted after a
prespecified number of events has been reached, but no earlier than 24 months after
the last patient is randomized. Given an expected enrollment period of approximately
30 months, the length of the DB period will vary for each individual patient, ranging
from a minimum of 24 months to a maximum of 5 years, with an anticipated average
duration of 32 months.
3. Open-label Extension (OLE) Period: Up to 2 years during which all patients will receive
300 mg of nucresiran via SC injection q6M. Patients are eligible to enter the OLE Period
after the DB Period has ended for the study (Section 7.2.11 describes when the study’s
DB Period can end) or after they have completed 5 years of participation in the DB
Period, whichever comes first. Patients must enter the OLE Period within 9 months after
their last dose of study drug in the DB Period.
4. Safety Follow-up Period:
Clinical Study Protocol ALN-TTRSC04-003 ALN-TTRSC04 (nucresiran)

• Patients who discontinue study drug to start on TTR lowering therapy will be
followed for 6 months after their last dose of study drug
• Patients who discontinue for any other reason will be followed for 12 months after
their last dose of study drug (24 months for women of childbearing potential)
• Assessments will be collected throughout the Safety Follow-up Period as outlined in
the Schedules of Assessments (Table 1 and Table 2)
Patients may receive nucresiran on the study until the end of the OLE Period or until 1 of the
following occurs: 1) they meet any of the study discontinuation criteria; 2) nucresiran becomes
commercially available in the patient’s country of residence, nucresiran is accessible to the
patient, and the patient has completed their OLE Month 12 Visit; 3) they start TTR lowering
therapy as part of clinical care or another clinical study; or 4) the nucresiran development
program is discontinued.
