Health Canada Approves AMVUTTRA (vutrisiran) for ATTR Cardiomyopathy
Health Canada has authorized AMVUTTRA for the treatment of cardiomyopathy in adults with wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated (ATTR) amyloidosis.
- The approval broadens AMVUTTRA's Canadian indication, which already covered stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy in adults with hereditary ATTR amyloidosis
- Based on the Phase 3 HELIOS-B trial, in which AMVUTTRA reduced the risk of all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events by 28.2% in the overall population and 32.8% in the monotherapy population, compared with placebo
- Adverse events in HELIOS-B were similar in nature, frequency, and severity to placebo
- Alnylam Canada says its next priority is working with provinces and private payers on patient access
