BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the
“Company”), a new type of biopharmaceutical company focused on
genetic diseases, presented data from ATTRibute-CM, highlighting
the reduced incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) events in the
overall ATTR-CM population. These data were presented in a
moderated ePoster at the Annual Congress of the Heart Failure
Association of the ESC (Heart Failure 2025), taking place in
Belgrade, Serbia from May 17 - 20, 2025. Acoramidis is a selective
small molecule, orally administered, near-complete (≥90%)
transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer.
“The reduction in new-onset atrial fibrillation and AF-related
hospitalizations represents an important finding for the ATTR-CM
community. I am encouraged by the growing body of data from the
ATTRibute-CM study, which adds to the understanding of acoramidis
and its potential impact on clinical outcomes for patients.
Furthermore, the observed reductions in hospitalizations and
mortality, along with improvements in functional capacity and
quality of life, suggest that acoramidis may offer benefit to both
variant and wild-type ATTR-CM patients who have limited treatment
options,” said Kevin Alexander, M.D. of Stanford University School
of Medicine, USA. “These data support further consideration of
acoramidis as a promising front-line therapy for ATTR-CM,
particularly for patients with the hereditary form of the disease,
who often face rapid and severe progression.”
Details from the post-hoc analysis on incidence of AF in
ATTRibute-CM included:
- Acoramidis Treatment Is Associated with a Lower Incidence of
Atrial Fibrillation-related Events in Patients with ATTR-CM: A
Post-hoc Analysis of the ATTRibute-CM Trial, presented by Dr.
Alexander
- AF is a common complication of ATTR-CM, observed in up to 70%
of patients, and the onset of AF is associated with an increased
risk of cardiovascular-related hospitalizations (CVH)
- In ATTRibute-CM, a 43% relative risk reduction in the annual
frequency of CVH due to AF/atrial flutter (AFL) was observed with
acoramidis relative to placebo. In the subgroup who had no prior
history of AF, a 17% lower incidence of new-onset AF/AFL was
reported with acoramidis compared to placebo
- These findings show the potential of acoramidis to reduce both
disease progression, as indicated by a lower incidence of new-onset
AF/AFL, and CVH morbidity caused by AF/AFL, in patients with
ATTR-CM
In addition to the moderated ePoster, three analyses were shared
on the strong clinical outcomes in ATTRv-CM versus placebo.
ATTRv-CM is associated with early age of disease onset with more
advanced heart failure symptoms, which often leads to a poorer
prognosis than those with wild-type ATTR-CM (ATTRwt-CM). These
findings included:
- Acoramidis Improves Serum TTR Levels in Patients with Wild-type
or Variant Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: Results from
ATTRibute-CM, presented by Anique Ducharme, M.D. of Université de
Montréal, CAN
- In both subgroups of ATTRv-CM and ATTRwt-CM, acoramidis
treatment induced a rapid increase in serum TTR levels, a measure
of TTR stability, by Day 28, with comparable serum TTR levels
achieved in both subgroups from Day 28 through Month 30. Relative
increases in serum TTR concentrations resulting from greater TTR
stability have been associated with reduced risk of all-cause and
cardiovascular mortality in the general population in recent
literature1
- Effect of Acoramidis on Functional Capacity and Quality of Life
in Patients with Variant ATTR-CM: Results from ATTRibute-CM,
presented by Marianna Fontana, M.D. of University College London,
UK
- Data from ATTRibute-CM showed that when acoramidis was
administered for 30 months, participants with ATTRv-CM had a
clinically significant slower decline in functional capacity and
quality of life compared with placebo, consistent with the overall
results in both ATTRv-CM and ATTRwt-CM
- At Month 30, the mean difference between acoramidis and placebo
treatment groups in the change from baseline in 6-minute walk
distance was 86.7 meters (p = 0.0048) in favor of acoramidis and in
the change from baseline in KCCQ-OS at Month 30, was 20.3 points (p
= 0.0019) in favor of acoramidis, in patients with ATTRv-CM
- Effect of Acoramidis on All-cause Mortality, Cardiovascular
Hospitalization and NT-proBNP in Variant ATTR-CM: Results from
ATTRibute-CM, presented by Marianna Fontana, M.D. of University
College London, UK
- In ATTRibute-CM, acoramidis treatment administered for 30
months led to a substantial reduction (>50%) in the composite of
all-cause mortality (ACM)/CVH, ACM and CVH in participants with
ATTRv-CM compared to placebo. This improvement was accompanied by
favorable effects on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide
(NT-proBNP) levels
“Based on the findings from ATTRibute-CM, we believe that
acoramidis has the potential to enable patients with both variant
and wild-type ATTR-CM to live longer, healthier lives, especially
for those with variant ATTR-CM who typically have a poorer
prognosis. We observed both a striking reduction in the frequency
of cardiovascular hospitalizations (which included clinic or
emergency department visits for urgent heart failure management)
and a clinically important and statistically significant reduction
in all-cause mortality in the important subgroup. These clinical
outcomes were further mirrored in robust improvements in functional
capacity, quality of life, and biomarkers of heart failure
severity,” said Jonathan Fox, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief
Medical Officer of BridgeBio Cardiorenal. “Given these compelling
results, acoramidis should be considered as first-line treatment
for newly diagnosed patients, and those currently on other
therapies could be switched to acoramidis to maximize their
potential to achieve such benefits.”
Additional acoramidis moderated ePosters at Heart Failure 2025
included:
- Disease Progression Among Patients Receiving Tafamidis for
ATTR-CM in a Real-world Setting, presented by Daniel P. Judge, M.D.
of Medical University of South Carolina, USA
- This analysis suggests disease progression despite treatment
with tafamidis in ATTR-CM. CVH was frequent, with approximately 1
in 5 tafamidis-treated patients hospitalized in the first six
months of therapy. As more therapeutic options become available,
measuring the clinical effectiveness of therapies in a real-world
setting will be important to help inform physicians and patients
when making treatment decisions
- Cause of Death in Patients with Transthyretin Amyloid
Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM): Findings from the ATTRibute-CM Study,
presented by Laura Obici, M.D. of University of Pavia, ESP
- In the ATTRibute-CM study, total deaths were numerically lower
with acoramidis compared with placebo. The relative risk reduction
of 30% in cardiovascular-related mortality by Month 30 was driven
predominantly by a reduction in heart failure-related deaths
- Time from First Recorded Clinical Manifestation to Diagnosis of
Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Using U.S. Claims Data, presented by Joshua Mitchell, M.D.,
Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, USA
- The median time from the first documented clinical
manifestation to ATTR-CM diagnosis was almost 5 years, and over 2
years from the first heart failure diagnosis. This demonstrates
that the patient journey to an ATTR-CM diagnosis can be prolonged
and challenging, which potentially leads to more severe disease at
diagnosis. Understanding the factors contributing to diagnostic
delays is important to improving diagnostic pathways and patient
outcomes
Acoramidis is approved as Attruby by the U.S. FDA and is
approved as BEYONTTRA by the European Commission, Japanese
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, and the UK Medicines
and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency with all labels
specifying near-complete stabilization of TTR. More data on the
benefit of Attruby for ATTR-CM patients is planned for future
medical meetings.
