APOLLO: The Study of an Investigational Drug, Patisiran (ALN-TTR02), for the Treatment of Transthyretin (TTR)-Mediated Amyloidosis

April 17, 2024 updated by: Alnylam Pharmaceuticals

APOLLO: A Phase 3 Multicenter, Multinational, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Patisiran (ALN-TTR02) in Transthyretin (TTR)-Mediated Polyneuropathy (Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy-FAP)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of patisiran (ALN-TTR02) in patients with transthyretin (TTR) mediated amyloidosis. An open-label, single-arm, long-term follow-up extension study NCT02510261 (ALN-TTR02-006) was initiated to provide participants who completed this study with continued patisiran-LNP (lipid nanoparticle) treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7 (mNIS+7)
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in mNIS+7 at 18 months. The mNIS+7 is a composite score that quantitates motor, sensory, and autonomic neurologic impairment due to injury of large and small nerves. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 304, respectively. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
18mo

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Norfolk Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy (Norfolk QoL-DN) Questionnaire
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in Norfolk QoL-DN at 18 months. The Norfolk QoL-DN questionnaire is a standardized 35-item patient-reported outcomes measure that is sensitive to the different features of diabetic neuropathy - small fiber, large fiber, and autonomic nerve function. The minimum and maximum values are -4 and 136, respectively. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
18mo
Neurological Impairment Score-Weakness (NIS-W) Score
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in NIS-W at 18 months. NIS-W is a measure of motor strength, comprised of cranial nerve and both upper and lower limb motor assessments. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 192, respectively. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
18mo
Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS) Score
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in R-ODS score at 18 months. The R-ODS is comprised of a 24-item linearly weighted scale that specifically captures activity and social participation limitations in patients. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 48, respectively. A higher score indicates a better outcome.
18mo
Timed 10-meter Walk Test (10-MWT, Gait Speed)
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in 10-MWT at 18 months. Ability to ambulate (gait speed) was assessed through the 10-meter walk test (10-MWT). The walk had to be completed without assistance from another person; ambulatory aids such as canes and walkers were permitted.
18mo
Modified Body Mass Index (mBMI)
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in mBMI at 18 months. The nutritional status of patients was evaluated using the mBMI; calculated as the product of BMI (weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) and serum albumin (g/L).
18mo
Autonomic Symptoms Questionnaire (Composite Autonomic Symptom Score [COMPASS 31])
Time Frame: 18mo
The difference between the patisiran (ALN-TTR02) and placebo groups in the change from baseline in COMPASS 31 at 18 months. The COMPASS 31 is a measure of autonomic neuropathy symptoms. The questions evaluated 6 autonomic domains (orthostatic intolerance, vasomotor, secretomotor, gastrointestinal, bladder, and pupillomotor). The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 100, respectively. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
