Acoramidis Transthyretin Amyloidosis Prevention Trial in the Young (ACT-EARLY) Study in Asymptomatic Carriers of a Pathogenic TTR Variant

The ACT-EARLY study is for people with TTR gene changes.

18-75 years

Phase 3

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a condition where a protein called transthyretin (TTR) breaks down and forms a sticky substance called amyloid. This amyloid can build up in organs, causing damage. There are two types: wild-type (ATTRwt), which happens with age, and variant (ATTRv), which is inherited. Acoramidis is a new experimental drug designed to prevent TTR from breaking down and forming amyloid. This study aims to see if acoramidis can stop or delay heart and nerve problems in people with the ATTRv type before symptoms appear.

  • The study lasts until disease development or 24 months, whichever comes first, with several clinic visits.
  • Participants must be 18-75 years old and have a known defective TTR gene.
  • Exclusion includes previous TTR treatment, specific health conditions, and recent major surgery.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either acoramidis or a placebo, without knowing which they are getting (double-blind). This trial is conducted at multiple centers. It’s important for participants to not have current symptoms or organ issues related to ATTR. If you meet the criteria, participating in this study could help delay or prevent the disease and contribute to vital scientific research.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
