Safety and Efficacy of Tafamidis in Patients With Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-ACT)

April 15, 2019 updated by: Pfizer

A MULTICENTER, INTERNATIONAL, PHASE 3, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, RANDOMIZED STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, SAFETY, AND TOLERABILITY OF DAILY ORAL DOSING OF TAFAMIDIS MEGLUMINE (PF-06291826) 20 MG OR 80 MG IN COMPARISON TO PLACEBO IN SUBJECTS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSTHYRETIN CARDIOMYOPATHY (TTR-CM)

This Phase 3 study will investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of an oral daily dose of 20 mg or 80 mg tafamidis meglumine capsules compared to placebo in subjects with either transthyretin genetic variants or wild-type transthyretin resulting in amyloid cardiomyopathy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Phase 3, multicenter, global, three-arm, parallel design, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized study to determine efficacy, safety and tolerability of tafamidis on clinical outcomes (all-cause mortality and frequency of cardiovascular-related hospitalizations) in subjects with either transthyretin genetic variants or wild-type transthyretin resulting in amyloid cardiomyopathy.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Medical history of Heart Failure (HF) with at least 1 prior hospitalization for HF or clinical evidence of HF (without hospitalization) manifested by signs or symptoms of volume overload or elevated intracardiac pressures (e.g., elevated jugular venous pressure, shortness of breath or signs of pulmonary congestion on x-ray or auscultation, peripheral edema) that required/requires treatment with a diuretic for improvement,

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Hierarchical Combination of All-Cause Mortality and Frequency of Cardiovascular-Related Hospitalizations
Time Frame: Baseline up to Month 30
All-cause mortality and frequency of cardiovascular hospitalization were analyzed using Finkelstein-Schoenfeld method. The method combines all-cause mortality and frequency of CV-related hospitalizations in a hierarchical fashion using all-cause mortality first. The method compares every participant with every other participant within strata, assigning a +1 to the "better" participant and a -1 to the "worse" participant and 0 if they are "tied". Participants who discontinued for transplantation (heart transplantation and combined heart and liver transplantation) or for implantation of a cardiac mechanical assist device, were handled in the same manner as death. 'Win' represents a participant doing better based on hierarchical comparison. The reported unit is the total "wins" for each treatment group from performing such a hierarchical comparison across all 4 strata in the study.
Baseline up to Month 30

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
All-Cause Mortality
Time Frame: Baseline up to Month 30
Number of deaths due to any cause was analyzed. Participants who discontinued for transplantation (heart transplantation and combined heart and liver transplantation) or for implantation of a cardiac mechanical assist device were handled in the same manner as death.
Baseline up to Month 30
Frequency of Cardiovascular-Related Hospitalizations
Time Frame: Baseline to Month 30
CV related hospitalizations per year is calculated as participant's number of CV related hospitalizations upon duration on study in years.
Baseline to Month 30
Change From Baseline in the Total Distance Walked During 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Month 30
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 30
6MWT is the total distance that a participant could walk in 6 minutes. Participants were asked to perform the test at a pace that was comfortable to them, with as many breaks as they needed.
Baseline, Month 30
Change From Baseline in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Score (KCCQ-OS) at Month 30
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 30
KCCQ is a 23-item participant-completed questionnaire that assesses health status and health-related quality of life in participants with heart failure. Eight domain scores were calculated for the KCCQ: Physical limitation, Social limitation, Quality of life, Self-efficacy, Symptom stability, Symptom frequency, Symptom burden, and Total symptoms (calculated as the mean of Symptom frequency and Symptom burden scores). Two summary scores were also calculated: Clinical Summary (calculated as mean of Physical limitation and Total symptom scores) and Overall Summary (calculated as mean of Physical limitation, Social limitation, Total symptoms, and Quality of life scores). Domain and summary scores were scaled to range from 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum); higher scores represent better health status.
Baseline, Month 30
Number of Participants With Cardiovascular-Related Mortality
Time Frame: Baseline up to Month 30
Deaths adjudicated as CV-related and indeterminate are reported. Participants who discontinued for transplantation (heart transplantation and combined heart and liver transplantation) or for implantation of a cardiac mechanical assist device, were handled in the same manner as death.
Baseline up to Month 30
Percentage of Participants With Stabilized Transthyretin (TTR) at Month 1
Time Frame: Month 1
TTR stabilization is a measure of the degree of stabilization afforded the TTR molecule by tafamidis.
Month 1
