AI synopsis
What people are saying
The discussions highlight notable findings from the ATTR-ACT trial, with users referencing data such as '30-mo mortality 29.5% vs 42.9% on placebo' and the significance of a 30% reduction in all-cause mortality. The tone is generally positive, with phrases like 'game changer' used to describe the potential of tafamidis. Users also mention its FDA approval, indicating a strong belief in its clinical value, which contributes to the overall enthusiasm and perceived importance of the treatment.
The majority of discussions reflect a general consensus on the effectiveness of tafamidis, with several users expressing strong support for the findings.
There is a noticeable excitement around the publication, with many users expressing curiosity and sharing additional insights and studies.
Participants are deeply engaged with the topic, referencing specific trials, data, and real-world implications of tafamidis in clinical practice.
Many users believe tafamidis has significant potential impact on treatment protocols for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
Abstract in brief
- Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy is a heart condition caused by abnormal proteins, and tafamidis helps stabilize these proteins to prevent disease progression.
- In a phase 3 clinical trial with 441 patients, those taking tafamidis showed significantly lower death rates and fewer hospitalizations due to cardiovascular issues compared to placebo.
- Tafamidis also improved physical health and quality of life measurements, indicating it is an effective treatment for this condition.

@shimjes @David_Ouyang @rodney_falk It did just fine. Key seems to have been a much higher % of variant patients than WT patients. https://t.co/pTvvstpki7
Speaking as a long-time member of team tafamidis, I really hope the $BBIO acoramidis trial continues to a meaningful endpoint. For whatever reason, the whole cohort is doing a lot better than the ATTR-ACT cohort. (Which is great news for the participants!) https://t.co/8EeX3rbuVD https://t.co/nCqrMy1Dke
Hopefully this helps others navigate the complexities of these processes. The ATTR-ACT trial showed mortality benefit and reduction in HF hospitalizations. And in our experience patients stabilize on tafamidis and at times improve (anecdotes, noted). https://t.co/yp2wm19cLS https://t.co/RKrq0WaSyV

@LisaLemond In terms of interestingly done clinical trials, ATTR-ACT for tafamidis (https://t.co/DxGMqXi6hp) and EMPULSE (https://t.co/rGZ3nr6eDk) for empagliflozin were novel designs that changed or will change management. https://t.co/rLBN6IMcxk they may at least worth be considering.

I am recently thinking about cardiac amyloidosis a bit - largely because of trials like this https://t.co/rF60c1WiR1 I now find myself struggling to understand how this heart failure trial was published without detailing heart failure meds at the end (given for start) , & 1/3
@Eric_Fauman Agree that no common variant evidence (yet) but through the ATTR-ACT trial strong evidence of benefit + FDA/EMA approval for TTR stabilization also in common wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis https://t.co/Ne1mjoyFi4
This week, our resident (@pharmgabbs) is leading a topic discussion on a specialty medication that is new to SPS.
What about treatment? There is a good RCT from NEJM 2018 about all cause mortality benefit for Tafamidis for TTR amyloid, https://t.co/TA784mxduK Teaching points overview by @sukritibanthiya https://t.co/9o7OOiUOdY
Hopefully this helps others navigate the complexities of these processes. The ATTR-ACT trial showed mortality benefit and reduction in HF hospitalizations. And in our experience patients stabilize on tafamidis and at times improve (anecdotes, noted). https://t.co/yp2wm19cLS https://t.co/RKrq0WaSyV
The patient's final diagnosis was wild type ATTR amyloidosis. Tafamidis is now FDA approved for both wild type and hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, NYHA class I-III to reduce CV death and hospitalization based on the ATTR-ACT study https://t.co/8SDE2L3HBa https://t.co/ft01xvwk68

FDA approval of tafamidis for TTR amyloidosis is a big deal since ATTR-ACT study showed it improved mortality, CV hospitalizations, functional class and quality of life in patients with TTR amyloidosis, which underdiagnosed. @tonkhueMdPhd https://t.co/rWWEsWCB2k #cardiotwitter https://t.co/Cuj1cL2EkF
