About AMVUTTRA

What is this medication? AMVUTTRA is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of the polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis in adults. This rare condition is caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the buildup of abnormal protein deposits in the bodys nerves and other organs. The medication is specifically designed to address the symptoms related to nerve damage, which often include sensations of tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness in the extremities.

The treatment works through a process called RNA interference, using its active ingredient vutrisiran to target and decrease the production of the transthyretin protein in the liver. By lowering the amount of this protein circulating in the blood, the medication helps to slow down the progression of the disease and reduce the further accumulation of amyloid deposits. It is usually administered by a healthcare provider as an injection under the skin once every three months.

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Reduced serum vitamin A levels and recommended supplementation: Supplement with the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. Refer to an ophthalmologist if ocular symptoms suggestive of vitamin A deficiency occur. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Reduced Serum Vitamin A Levels and Recommended Supplementation AMVUTTRA treatment leads to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Supplementation at the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A is advised for patients taking AMVUTTRA. Higher doses than the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A should not be given to try to achieve normal serum vitamin A levels during treatment with AMVUTTRA, as serum vitamin A levels do not reflect the total vitamin A in the body. Patients should be referred to an ophthalmologist if they develop ocular symptoms suggestive of vitamin A deficiency (e.g., night blindness).
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Reduced Serum Vitamin A Levels and Recommended Supplementation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) were pain in extremity, arthralgia, dyspnea, and vitamin A decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Alnylam Pharmaceuticals at 1-877-256-9526 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of AMVUTTRA cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Two Phase 3 randomized, multi-center studies evaluated the safety of AMVUTTRA in 448 transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) patients, including 122 patients with hATTR-PN (HELIOS-A) and 326 patients with ATTR-CM (HELIOS-B) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . In both studies, patients were instructed to take the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Polyneuropathy of Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis In HELIOS-A, 118 patients received at least 18 months of treatment. The mean duration of treatment was 18.8 months (range: 1.7 to 19.4 months). The median patient age at baseline was 60 years and 65% of the patients were male. Seventy percent of AMVUTTRA-treated patients were Caucasian, 17% were Asian, 3% were Black, and 9% were reported as Other. Forty-four percent of patients had the Val30Met mutation in the transthyretin gene; the remaining patients had one of 21 other mutations. At baseline, 70% of patients were in Stage 1 of the disease and 30% were in Stage 2. The most common adverse reactions (at least 5%) were pain in extremity, arthralgia, dyspnea, and vitamin A decreased (see Table 1 ) . Seventy-four percent of patients treated with AMVUTTRA had normal vitamin A levels at baseline, and 98% of those with a normal baseline developed low vitamin A levels. In some cases, the decreased vitamin A level was reported as an adverse reaction (see Table 1 ) . Table 1: Adverse Reactions Reported in at least 5% of Patients Treated with AMVUTTRA in HELIOS-A Adverse Reaction AMVUTTRA N=122 % Pain in extremity 15 Arthralgia Comprised of several similar terms 11 Dyspnea 7 Vitamin A decreased Percentage only reflects those reported as an adverse reaction 7 In HELIOS-A, two serious adverse reactions of atrioventricular (AV) heart block (1.6%) occurred in patients treated with AMVUTTRA, including one case of complete AV block. Injection site reactions were reported in 5 (4%) patients treated with AMVUTTRA. Reported symptoms included bruising, erythema, pain, pruritus, and warmth. Injection site reactions were mild and transient. Cardiomyopathy of Wild-type or Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis In HELIOS-B, safety was evaluated in 654 patients with ATTR-CM, which included 257 patients treated with AMVUTTRA for ≥30 months, and 77 patients treated with AMVUTTRA for ≥36 months [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . No new safety issues were identified. Eighty-two percent of patients treated with AMVUTTRA had normal vitamin A levels at baseline, and 80% of those with a normal baseline developed low vitamin A levels.
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on AMVUTTRA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. AMVUTTRA treatment leads to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels, and vitamin A supplementation is advised for patients taking AMVUTTRA. Vitamin A is essential for normal embryofetal development; however, excessive levels of vitamin A are associated with adverse developmental effects. The effects on the fetus of a reduction in maternal serum TTR caused by AMVUTTRA and of vitamin A supplementation are unknown [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . In animal studies, subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran to pregnant rats resulted in developmental toxicity (reduced fetal body weight and embryofetal mortality) at doses associated with maternal toxicity (see Data ) . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Data Animal Data Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality at the high dose and reduced fetal body weight at the mid and high doses, which were associated with maternal toxicity. Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development. Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg) to pregnant rats every 6 days throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in no adverse developmental effects on the offspring.
