Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who administered a medicinal product without regard to possibility of causal relationship with the study treatment. SAE was defined as one of the following: resulted in death; was life-threatening (immediate risk of death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); constituted a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Treatment-emergent AE was defined as an AE with onset date occurring during the on-treatment period. AEs included all SAEs and non-SAEs.

    Time frame: From the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1) to the end of data collection (Up to 14.4 years)

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Treatment Related AEs and SAEs

    A treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to the administered medicinal product in a participant who received study drug. Treatment emergent AEs included both SAEs and all non-SAEs. A treatment-related SAE was a treatment-related AE and was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: resulted in death; was life-threatening (immediate risk of death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); constituted a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

  13. Derived Neuropathy Impairment Score-Lower Limb (NIS-LL) at Baseline

    Neuropathy Impairment Score - Lower Limb (NIS-LL) assessed motor, sensory and reflex activity specifically in the lower limbs and combined total scores for the lower limbs were collected and reported. Derived NIS LL score extends from 0 (normal functions) to a maximum possible value of 88 points, the scale is additive for all deficits and is applied bilaterally for each modality tested: 1) muscle strength: 0 (normal)-4 (paralysis), higher score = more weakness; 2) sensory and 3) reflex testings: 0=normal, 1=decreased, or 2=absent. Reflex score: 0 (normal)-10 (present), higher score =present in more anatomic sites; Motor score: 0-160 (full range of motion with maximum resistance across all anatomical sites), higher score=more impairment. Sensory Score has a range of 0 to the normal value of 124 where ratings are coded as 0=absent; 1=decreased; 2=normal.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  14. Body Mass Index (BMI) at Baseline

    BMI was calculated by weight divided by height squared and measured as kilogram per square meter (kg/m\^2).

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  15. Modified Body Mass Index (mBMI) at Baseline

    mBMI was calculated by multiplying BMI by serum albumin levels \[gram/liter (g/L)\]. mBMI was measured as kg/m\^2\*g/L. A progressive decline in mBMI indicated worsening of disease severity.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  16. Sitting Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures (SBP and DBP) at Baseline

    BP (Blood Pressure) is the pressure of the blood within the arteries. It is produced primarily by the contraction of the heart muscle. BP measurement is recorded by 2 numbers: systolic BP (SBP, BP when heart is contracting; it is the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of left ventricle) and diastolic BP (DBP, BP when heart is relaxing; it is the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilation of ventricles). Available sitting SBP and DBP at Baseline were reported.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  17. Left Ventricular (LV) Septum Thickness at Baseline

    Cardiac amyloidosis is attributable to intramyocardial amyloid infiltration, which leads to a progressive increase of ventricular wall thickness and stiffness. A left ventricular (LV) wall thickness ≥12 mm plus at least one red flag should raise the suspicion of cardiac amyloidosis.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  18. Left Ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction at Baseline

    Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  19. Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L): Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Overall Health Score at Baseline

    EQ-5D-3L VAS: participant rated questionnaire to assess generic health status in two parts: single utility score and visual analog scale. The VAS component rated the current health state on a scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state); higher scores indicating a better health state.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  20. EQ-5D-3L: VAS Derived Index at Baseline

    The EQ-5D-3L VAS derived index is calculated by subtracting the values of the descriptive EQ-5D system from the numerical value. This corresponds to the best possible health status, the scale of the Derived Index is 0 \[death\] to 1 \[perfect health\]. EQ-5D-3L VAS overall health score and derived score data were sourced from different part of the EQ-5D questionnaire and are conceptually different from each other as EQ VAS is a 0-100 scale and EQ-5D index is a value attached to an EQ-5D profile according to a set of weights that reflect, on average, participant's preferences about how good or bad the state is. More data were collected for EQ-5D index score compared to EQ VAS overall health score at the baseline.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  21. Norfolk Total Quality of Life (QoL) Score at Baseline

    Norfolk QOL: 35-item participant-rated questionnaire used to assess impact of neuropathy on the quality of life of participants diagnosed with ATTR. Scoring was based on 35 questions that yield a TQOL as well as 5 subscale scores: activities of daily living, large fiber neuropathy/physical functioning, small fiber neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and symptoms. TQOL= sum of all the items, total possible score range= -2 to 138, where higher score=worse quality of life.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  22. Number of Participants With Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) at Baseline

    Following parameters were analyzed: heart rate, PR interval, QT interval, QRS interval and QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF). Abnormal findings in ECG were based on investigator's discretion.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

  23. Number of Participants With Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter, Pacemaker Implanted, and Implantable Cardioverter/Defibrillator (ICD) at Baseline

    Number of participants with atrial fibrillation/flutter (rapid, irregular heart rhythm), implanted artificial cardiac pacemaker, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) (detects and stops irregular heartbeats, also called arrhythmias) were reported.

    Time frame: At the start of data collection at Baseline (Day 1)

SecondarySitting Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures (SBP and DBP) at Baseline

BP (Blood Pressure) is the pressure of the blood within the arteries. It is produced primarily by the contraction of the heart muscle. BP measurement is recorded by 2 numbers: systolic BP (SBP, BP when heart is contracting; it is the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of left ventricle) and diastolic BP (DBP, BP when heart is relaxing; it is the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilation of ventricles). Available sitting SBP and DBP at Baseline were reported.

SecondaryLeft Ventricular (LV) Septum Thickness at Baseline

Cardiac amyloidosis is attributable to intramyocardial amyloid infiltration, which leads to a progressive increase of ventricular wall thickness and stiffness. A left ventricular (LV) wall thickness ≥12 mm plus at least one red flag should raise the suspicion of cardiac amyloidosis.

SecondaryLeft Ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction at Baseline

Left ventricular dysfunction, a condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality, was assessed based on systolic ejection fraction. Systolic ejection fraction was the fraction of the end-diastolic volume (EDV) that was ejected out of left ventricle with each contraction.

SecondaryEuro Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L): Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Overall Health Score at Baseline

EQ-5D-3L VAS: participant rated questionnaire to assess generic health status in two parts: single utility score and visual analog scale. The VAS component rated the current health state on a scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state); higher scores indicating a better health state.

SecondaryEQ-5D-3L: VAS Derived Index at Baseline

The EQ-5D-3L VAS derived index is calculated by subtracting the values of the descriptive EQ-5D system from the numerical value. This corresponds to the best possible health status, the scale of the Derived Index is 0 \[death\] to 1 \[perfect health\]. EQ-5D-3L VAS overall health score and derived score data were sourced from different part of the EQ-5D questionnaire and are conceptually different from each other as EQ VAS is a 0-100 scale and EQ-5D index is a value attached to an EQ-5D profile according to a set of weights that reflect, on average, participant's preferences about how good or bad the state is. More data were collected for EQ-5D index score compared to EQ VAS overall health score at the baseline.

SecondaryNorfolk Total Quality of Life (QoL) Score at Baseline

Norfolk QOL: 35-item participant-rated questionnaire used to assess impact of neuropathy on the quality of life of participants diagnosed with ATTR. Scoring was based on 35 questions that yield a TQOL as well as 5 subscale scores: activities of daily living, large fiber neuropathy/physical functioning, small fiber neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and symptoms. TQOL= sum of all the items, total possible score range= -2 to 138, where higher score=worse quality of life.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 22, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
