Overview

ATTRv amyloidosis is a systemic disease with two clinical forms, neurological and cardiological, which are sometimes combined (so-called mixed forms).

Patisiran and vutrisiran have shown protective effects on the progression of neurological damage.

The effects of Patisiran or vutrisiran on the heart remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to better understand the morphological and functional cardiac consequences in ATTRv patients with stage 1 or 2 polyneuropathy with a mixed form treated with Patisiran or vutrisiran

Description

ATTRv amyloidosis is a systemic disease with two clinical forms, neurological and cardiological, which are sometimes combined (so-called mixed forms).

Patisiran and vutrisiran have shown protective effects on the progression of neurological damage.

The effects of Patisiran or vutrisiran on the heart remain incompletely understood.

During their therapeutic management, including the prescription of Patisiran or vutrisiran, the routine examinations carried out at the inclusion, one and two year later will allow us to observe the consequences on myocardial activity during the routine consultation after 1 and 2 years of treatment.

Examinations are : clinical and biological exams, EKC, echocardiography, cardiac MRI and scintigraphy.

Data at the start of treatment and at 1 and 2 years will be collected, especially cardiac function assesment In addition, during these two consultations, a life quality questionnaire, a dysautonomia questionnaire and a functional walking test will be carried out specifically for the study.

The aim of this study is to better understand the morphological and functional cardiac consequences in ATTRv patients with stage 1 or 2 polyneuropathy with a mixed form treated with Patisiran or vutrisiran.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
