Acoramidis Significantly Reduces Mortality Risk in ATTR-CM Patients

Long-term data shows sustained benefits of early, continuous treatment with acoramidis

Mar. 31, 2026 at 3:24am

BridgeBio Pharma presented long-term data from the ATTRibute-CM open-label extension trial, demonstrating that continuous treatment with acoramidis led to statistically significant reductions in all-cause mortality (44.7%) and cardiovascular mortality (49.3%) in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) through Month 54. The data also showed acoramidis mitigated the rise in NT-proBNP and stabilized heart failure-related quality of life scores.

Why it matters

Despite recent advancements, many ATTR-CM patients still face high mortality risk and limited long-term treatment options. These findings reinforce the importance of early diagnosis and prompt, durable treatment to deliver sustained clinical benefits for this patient population.

The details

The ATTRibute-CM open-label extension trial data showed that continuous acoramidis treatment led to the earliest timepoint in an open-label extension with this magnitude of risk reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality events. Acoramidis also mitigated the rise in NT-proBNP, a marker of heart failure, to an extent not seen with other disease-modifying treatments. Additionally, early and continuous acoramidis stabilized and maintained heart failure-related quality of life scores.

  • At Month 54, the trial data was presented.
  • Acoramidis is approved by regulatory agencies including the U.S. FDA, European Medicines Agency, and others.

What they’re saying

“Despite dramatic therapeutic advances in the field, many patients with ATTR-CM still continue to suffer progressive heart failure, high mortality risk, and many have limited long-term treatment options.”

— Prem Soman, M.D., Ph.D., Researcher, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

“The ATTRibute-CM long-term data show that early and continuous treatment with acoramidis can meaningfully change the trajectory of this disease, with sustained reductions in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular hospitalization, continued mitigation of NT-proBNP progression, and a favorable long-term safety profile.”

What’s next

More data on the benefits of acoramidis for ATTR-CM patients is planned for future medical meetings.

The takeaway

These long-term results demonstrate that early and continuous treatment with acoramidis can significantly improve outcomes for ATTR-CM patients, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and durable therapy to address this debilitating and often fatal condition.
