We are joined by Prof Marianna Fontana (University College London, UK), as she outlines the key findings from the phase 3 APOLLO-B study (Alnylam Pharmaceuticals) (NCT03997383).
APOLLO-B investigated the use of patisiran, a transthyretin-directed small interfering RNA, in a cohort of patients with cardiac amyloidosis. 360 patients were enrolled in the trial and were randomized 1:1 to receive either intravenous patisiran or a placebo.
Interview Questions:
1. What is the importance of this study?
2. What is the mechanism of action of the study drug (patisiran)?
4. What was study design, outcome measures and patient population?
5. What are the findings to date? What conclusions can be made?
6. Are there any specific patient subgroups with cardiomyopathy for whom patisiran may be more or less effective?
7. What are the next steps?
Get the most out of the new data from, Late-breaker host, Dr Harriette Van Spall and Dr James Januzzi wrap up of the most impactful trials and studies presented at Heart Failure 2023.
Delve into in-depth and critical discussions with Dr Van Spall in our thought-provoking Late-breaker Discussion series.
