Observational Study for Transthyretin Amyloidosis (MaesTTRo)
This study, called MaesTTRo, is observing people with transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis to understand how the disease progresses and how treatments work in real-world settings. It will collect information on different types of ATTR amyloidosis, including ATTR-CM (amyloidosis affecting the heart) and ATTRv-PN (hereditary polyneuropathy). Researchers will gather data on treatments, including eplontersen, which is a gene-silencing treatment. The study aims to enroll at least 1850 adults aged 18 and older who have a confirmed diagnosis of ATTR amyloidosis and are willing to complete electronic surveys. The goal is to learn about patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes over several years.
