53 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a disease where the normally occurring transthyretin (TTR) protein falls apart and forms amyloid, a sticky plaque- like substance that accumulates in different organs in the body and can cause damage to the organ. There are two ways that the TTR protein can fall apart. One way occurs as a person ages, where the normal TTR protein can fall apart and form amyloid that may no longer be sufficiently cleared by the body. This type of ATTR is known as wild-type ATTR (ATTRwt). The other way occurs when a person inherits a defective TTR gene that causes the TTR protein to spontaneously fall apart. This form of the disease is known as variant ATTR (ATTRv) and can be detected in adults by a genetic test of their TTR gene before they age. Amyloid build-up in the heart causes the heart wall to become thick and stiff and can result in heart failure and even death. Accumulation of TTR amyloid in the heart is known as transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy or ATTR-CM. Amyloid can also deposit in the nerve tissues leading to nerve problems. Accumulation of TTR in the nerves is known as transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy or ATTR-PN. Acoramidis is an experimental drug designed to bind tightly to TTR in the blood and stabilize its structure, so it does not form the harmful amyloid plaques that can cause damage to organs. This study is intended to determine if treatment with acoramidis in participants with ATTRv who have not yet developed any symptoms of disease can prevent or delay the development of ATTR-CM or ATTR-PN disease. If adults with an inherited defective TTR gene are treated early before any of the symptoms of disease have developed, it may be possible to delay the onset or prevent the disease entirely.
The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in amyloid myocardial burden in a subset of the population participating in the ION682884-CS2 (NCT04136171) study, up to 150 participants, after treatment with eplontersen or placebo based on scintigraphy scans performed at Week 140 using the Perugini grade score method.

Open-label, multicenter, international, single-treatment study designed to determine TTR stabilization as well as Fx-1006A safety and tolerability, and its effects on clinical outcomes in patients with V122I or wild-type TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 will include a six-week dosing period during which all enrolled patients will self-administer oral Fx-1006A 20 mg soft gelatin capsules once daily for six weeks. At Week 6, blood samples will be collected from each patient to determine TTR stabilization. Patients who complete the Week 6 visit will continue taking daily oral Fx 1006A 20 mg for up to a total of 12 months during Part 2 of this study. If it is determined that a patient is not stabilized at Week 6 (based on TTR stabilization data), the patient will be discontinued from the study. Safety and clinical outcomes will be evaluated during Part 2 of this study. Two whole blood samples for pharmacodynamic assessments (TTR stabilization) and pharmacokinetic assessments (Fx-1006A concentrations as well as calculated steady-state parameters) will be collected at Baseline and Week 6. At Months 6 and 12, two whole blood samples will be collected for pharmacodynamic assessments, and four whole blood samples (two samples per time point) will be collected for pharmacokinetic assessments to be utilized in population pharmacokinetic modeling. Echocardiography, chest x-ray, cardiac MRI, and 24-hour Holter monitoring will be conducted at Baseline, and Months 6 and 12. Six-minute walk test and quality of life utilizing the Patient Global Assessment, KCCQ, and SF-36 will be assessed at Baseline, and Months 3, 6, and 12. NYHA Classification will be assessed at Baseline, Week 6, and Months 3, 6, and 12. Serum markers of troponin I and T, and NT-pro-BNP levels will be assessed at each study visit. Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study. Vital signs, 12-lead ECG, blood and urine samples for clinical laboratory tests (serum chemistry, hematology, coagulation panel, and urinalysis), AEs, and concomitant medications (including diuretic usage) will be assessed at each study visit. Abbreviated physical examinations will be conducted at Baseline, Weeks 2 and 6, and Months 3 and 6, and a complete physical examination will be conducted at Month 12. Clinic visits will be conducted during Screening (Days -30 to -1) and Baseline (Day 0); procedures scheduled for the Baseline visit may be conducted over a period of one week to accommodate patient scheduling. All Baseline procedures must be completed prior to the first self-administered dose on Day 1. Day 1 will be defined as administration of the first dose of study medication, which patients will self-administer at home. During treatment, clinic visits will be conducted at Week 2 (± 2 days), Week 6 (± 1 week), Month 3 (± 1 week), Month 6 (± 2 weeks), and Month 12 (± 2 weeks). Procedures scheduled for the Month 6 and 12 visits may occur over one week during the visit window to accommodate patient scheduling. Monthly telephone contacts (± 1 week of the scheduled date) will be made during months in which no clinical site visits are scheduled (Months 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11) for assessment of AEs and concomitant medications. A final telephone contact to assess AEs and concomitant medication usage will be made 30 days after the last dose of study medication for each patient. Patients who discontinue from the study at any time will have a final visit performed, including all safety assessments, at the time of discontinuation. Any patient discontinuing after the Month 6 visit will also have all exploratory assessments performed.
Approximately 1.5 million of the 44 million Blacks in the United States are carriers of the valine-to-isoleucine substitution at position 122 (V122I) in the transthyretin (TTR) protein. Virtually exclusive to Blacks, this is the most common cause of hereditary cardiac amyloidosis (hATTR-CA) worldwide. hATTR-CA leads to worsening heart failure (HF) and premature death. Fortunately, new therapies that stabilize TTR improve morbidity and mortality in hATTR-CA, especially when prescribed early in the disease. However, hATTR-CA is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and conventional diagnostic tools lack diagnostic specificity to detect early disease. The overall objectives of this study are to determine the presence of subclinical hATTR-CA and to identify biomarkers that indicate amyloid progression in V122I TTR carriers. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that hATTR-CA has a long latency period that will be detected through subclinical amyloidosis imaging and biomarker phenotyping. The central hypothesis will be tested by pursuing 2 specific aims: Aim 1) determine the association of V122I TTR carrier status with CMRI evidence of amyloid infiltration; Sub-aim 1) determine the association of V122I TTR carrier status with cardiac reserve; Aim 2) determine the association between amyloid-specific biomarkers and V122I TTR carrier status; and Sub-aim 2) determine the association of amyloid-specific biomarkers with imaging-based parameters and evaluate their diagnostic utility for identifying subclinical hATTR-CA. In Aim 1, CMRI will be used to compare metrics associated with cardiac amyloid infiltration between a cohort of V122I TTR carriers without HF formed by cascade genetic testing and age-, sex-, and race-matched non-carrier controls. For Sub-Aim 1, a sub-sample of carriers and non-carrier controls enrolled in Aim 1 will undergo novel exercise CMRI to measure and compare cardiac systolic and diastolic reserve. Aim 2 involves measuring and comparing amyloid-specific biomarkers in V122I TTR carriers without HF with samples matched non-carriers (both from Aim 1) and individuals with symptomatic V122I hATTR-CA from our clinical sites. These biomarkers detect and quantify different processes of TTR amyloidogenesis and include circulating TTR, retinol binding protein 4, TTR kinetic stability, and misfolded TTR oligomers. Sub-aim 2 will establish the role of these biomarkers to detect imaging evidence of subclinical hATTR-CA disease.

This study is testing a potential new medicine, NNC6019-0001, for people who have a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis.The study will look at if this medicine can reduce the symptoms of a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis, such as heart failure. Participants will either get NNC6019-0001 (apotential new medicine) or placebo (a medicine which has no effect on the body). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance. The chance of getting NNC6019-0001 is two times higher than getting placebo. NNC6019-0001 is not yet approved in any country or region in the world. It is a new medicine that doctors cannot prescribe yet. Participants will get an infusion of the study medicine 13 times, once every 4 weeks. The study will last for about 64 weeks after the first dose of medicine. Participants cannot participate in this study if they have a heart disease other than a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis.

This is a single-center, single-arm, interventional phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety profile and potential efficacy of allogeneic CAR19 regulatory T cells (CAR19-tTreg) in adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD19+ B Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-ALL). The study consists of two components. The dose finding component is a modified version of a Phase I trial and the extended component is a modified Phase II trial.
Transthyretin is a protein produced in the liver that transports thyroid hormone and vitamin A. A single substitution of an amino acid in the structure of TTR can result in a relatively unstable protein, the breakdown products of which (predominantly monomers) aggregate abnormally and produce proteinaceous deposits in nerves and the heart. These deposits are known as amyloid and produce progressive nerve and heart damage. Amyloidosis due to a mutant TTR is usually an autosomal dominant and hence is a familial condition. Wild-type TTR is also capable of producing amyloid deposits which predominantly involves the heart (rather than the nervous system) resulting in a progressive decrease in cardiac function with increasing signs of heart failure. This study aims to determine whether subcutaneous injection of an antisense oligonucleotide drug, known as ION-682884, that has been specifically designed to reduce production of the protein transthyretin by the liver, can slow or stop the progression of TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy as compared to historical controls, using advanced echocardiography and cardiac MRI. This study drug will only be administered to patients who have completed a 24-month study of a similar drug, inotersen (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT037028289).The study also aims to determine the tolerability and safety of this drug when administered over a 36+-month period to patients with TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy. The study duration is open-ended and will continue either until this agent is approved by the FDA, or production is discontinued based on results of ongoing double-blinded studies.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vutrisiran (ALN-TTRSC02) in participants with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis). Participants will receive vutrisiran subcutaneous (SC) injection once every 3 months (q3M) or the reference comparator patisiran intravenous (IV) injection once every 3 weeks (q3w) during the 18 month Treatment Period. This study will use the placebo arm of the APOLLO study (NCT01960348) as an external comparator for the primary and most other efficacy endpoints during the 18 Month Treatment Period. Following the 18 Month Treatment Period, all participants will be randomized to receive vutrisiran 50 mg SC injection once every 6 months (q6M) or vutrisiran 25 mg q3M in the Randomized Treatment Extension (RTE) Period. Upon implementation of Amendment 6, participants receiving vutrisiran SC 50 mg q6M will transition to vutrisiran SC 25 mg q3M at their next scheduled dosing.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tolcapone crosses from the blood stream into the fluid around the brain and stabilizes the protein that makes leptomeningeal amyloid. Tolcapone is a commercially available generic drug that treats Parkinson's disease. The Investigator plans to evaluate Tolcapone as a treatment for ATTR (Transthyretin Amyloidosis), a rare genetic disease often causing death within 5-15 years after diagnosis. ATTR is characterized by deposition of misfolded protein known as amyloid, in one or more organ systems (including the peripheral and autonomic nervous systems, the heart, the brain and the eyes). The age at which symptoms begin to develop varies widely ranging between 20 to 70 years old. ATTR is progressive, and some variants can have a fatal outcome within a few years of presentation. Treatment options include supportive and symptomatic care that may slow or stop progressive decline in functional state but do not alter the pathological process. Liver transplant can be performed in selected patients but is limited by organ supply, requires lifelong immunosuppression, and may be complicated by progressive heart and nerve amyloid deposition. Importantly, liver transplant does not alter the natural course of central nervous system amyloid disease. To date, no treatment for ATTR penetrates the CNS. At present there is no FDA approved treatment for ATTR amyloidosis in the US. In Europe, Tafamidis has been approved for treatment of stage 1 ATTR-polyneuropathy since 2012. Tafamidis and Tolcapone bind to the thyroxine binding site of TTR (with different drug-transthyretin interactions) and in so doing stabilizes the tetrameric form of TTR, preventing dissociation and amyloid fibril formation The preclinical and clinical data from a variety of experimental systems support the therapeutic activity of TOLCAPONE in TTR mediated disease.
