ACT-EARLY Study for Asymptomatic Carriers of a Pathogenic TTR Variant
This study is for people who carry a specific gene change (pathogenic TTR variant) that can lead to transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). ATTR is a disease where a protein called transthyretin (TTR) breaks down and forms sticky clumps (amyloid) in organs like the heart. This study is testing if a drug called acoramidis can prevent ATTR from developing in people who have the gene change but don't yet have symptoms. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 75 years old and have a known pathogenic TTR gene variant. The main goal is to see if acoramidis can delay or stop the first signs of ATTR, such as heart or nerve problems, over approximately seven years. The study is currently unclear on its status.
- Study design
- This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind study, meaning participants will be assigned by chance to receive either acoramidis or a placebo (an inactive pill), and neither you nor your doctor will know which you are receiving. The study plans to enroll 587 participants.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed from the start of the study for up to approximately 7 years, or until the study ends, to see if ATTR develops.

What this trial measures
- Time to development of ATTR (ATTR-CM or ATTR-PN, whichever occurs first; centrally adjudicated)Since randomization up to approximately 7 years or until the study is declared over
* ATTR-CM defined by biopsy or imaging-based diagnosis * ATTR-PN defined by new signs or symptoms and biopsy-based diagnosis
