CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today announced the launch of AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran) ‘Play by Play,’ a U.S. educational initiative featuring former professional athletes living with the cardiomyopathy of transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) and the care teams who support them. Through personal stories and expert perspectives, ‘Play by Play’ aims to help people recognize the symptoms of ATTR-CM earlier and encourage informed conversations with healthcare professionals to help patients advocate for their diagnosis and treatment.

‘Play by Play’ kicks off with Pete Shaw, a former professional football player living with ATTR-CM, alongside his wife and caregiver, Kari, and one of his cardiologists, Rajeev Mohan, M.D. Together, they share Pete’s journey from experiencing symptoms that were mistakenly attributed to football or aging, to pursuing testing, receiving an ATTR-CM diagnosis, and ultimately starting treatment with AMVUTTRA, a transthyretin (TTR) silencer, as part of his game plan for ATTR-CM management.

Pete receives AMVUTTRA administered by his physician only four times per year via subcutaneous injection. AMVUTTRA demonstrates strength in RNAi-powered TTR silencing, delivering rapid knockdown of TTR at the source of disease to address the underlying cause of ATTR amyloidosis. AMVUTTRA is the only U.S. FDA-approved treatment for both ATTR-CM and the polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR-PN) in adults. The most common side effects associated with AMVUTTRA are pain in the arms or legs, pain in the joints, shortness of breath, and low vitamin A levels.

“The power of football is built play by play, and strength in silencing with AMVUTTRA is built on the same principle: making precise interventions where they matter,” said Tolga Tanguler, Chief Commercialization Officer at Alnylam. “Just as success on the field is built one play at a time, we believe that transformative impact in medicine starts with precisely targeting the drivers of disease. By harnessing RNAi to silence TTR at the source of disease, Alnylam is helping change what's possible for patients and their teams.”

Like many, Pete was not aware of the red flag symptoms associated with ATTR-CM and was accustomed to pushing through discomfort. As a result, he did not recognize that the changes he was experiencing could signal something more serious until Kari encouraged him to seek additional medical attention, helping set him on the path toward testing, diagnosis, and treatment.

“I spent my career learning how to read the field and react to what was happening around me. But when it came to my own health, I didn’t recognize that the symptoms I was experiencing could be something serious and progressive,” said Pete Shaw. “That’s why I’m sharing my story. If it helps even one person pay closer attention to changes in their health, ask questions, or start a conversation with their doctor, then sharing my experience is worth it.”

ATTR-CM is a serious, progressive disease caused by the buildup of misfolded TTR proteins in the heart. Recognizing ATTR-CM is often challenging because symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the lower legs, and irregular heart rhythms can resemble more common cardiovascular conditions. Awareness of family health history is also important because this disease can be hereditary. The gene variant Pete carries is more common in people of African descent.

‘Play by Play’ reflects the reality that navigating ATTR-CM takes a team by bringing together the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to explore the moments that shape the ATTR-CM journey. As part of Pete's care team, Dr. Mohan helped connect the clinical clues that led to his diagnosis and continues to play an important role in his disease management and treatment.

“Early diagnosis is one of the most important factors in the management of this disease,” said Rajeev Mohan, M.D., Director, Advanced Heart Failure Program, Scripps Clinic, and clinical cardiologist and heart failure specialist. “Pete’s journey underscores why awareness matters. An earlier diagnosis allows patients to have timely discussions about available treatment options and develop a management plan tailored to their needs.”

Please see the indications and important safety information below.

Hear Pete’s story and learn more about ATTR-CM and AMVUTTRA here. People experiencing possible symptoms should speak with a healthcare professional. Pete Shaw and Dr. Mohan have been compensated for their participation in this initiative.

Indications and Important Safety Information

Indications Approved by the U.S. FDA

AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran) is indicated for the treatment of the:

  • cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults to reduce cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular hospitalizations and urgent heart failure visits.
  • polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR-PN) in adults.

Important Safety Information

Reduced Serum Vitamin A Levels and Recommended Supplementation

AMVUTTRA treatment leads to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels.

Supplementation at the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin A is advised for patients taking AMVUTTRA. Higher doses than the RDA 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

In a study of patients with hATTR-PN, the most common adverse reactions that occurred in patients treated with AMVUTTRA were pain in extremity (15%), arthralgia (11%), dyspnea (7%), and vitamin A decreased (7%).

In a study of patients with ATTR-CM, no new safety issues were identified.

For additional information about AMVUTTRA, please see the full U.S. Prescribing Information (revised March 2025)

About AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran)

AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran) demonstrates strength in RNAi-powered transthyretin (TTR) silencing, delivering rapid knockdown of TTR at the source of disease to address the underlying cause of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). In the HELIOS-B Phase 3 study, AMVUTTRA reduced the risk of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events compared to placebo in the overall and monotherapy populations by 28.2% and 32.8%, respectively, through 36 months. It is the only TTR silencer approved for both the polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR-PN) and cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in countries globally. AMVUTTRA is administered once quarterly via subcutaneous injection.

About Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR)

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is an underdiagnosed, rapidly progressive, debilitating, and fatal disease caused by pathogenic transthyretin (TTR) proteins, which accumulate as amyloid deposits in various parts of the body, including the nerves, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. Patients may present with polyneuropathy, cardiomyopathy, or both manifestations of disease. There are two different forms of ATTR – hereditary ATTR (hATTR), which is caused by a TTR gene variant, and wild-type ATTR (wtATTR), which occurs without a TTR gene variant. It is estimated that more than 500,000 people worldwide live with ATTR, with ~80% remaining undiagnosed.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

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).

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)]

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 (HELIOSB) [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.

Show more of the filing

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).

*Comprised of several similar terms †Percentage only reflects those reported as an adverse reaction

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 $ \geq30 $ months, and 77 patients treated with AMVUTTRA for $ \geq36 $ 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.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

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.

8.2 Lactation

Risk Summary

There is no information regarding the presence of vutrisiran in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for AMVUTTRA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from AMVUTTRA or from the underlying maternal condition.

Page 6

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

No dose adjustment is required in patients $ \geq 65 $ years of age [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. In HELIOS-A, a total of 46 (38%) patients $ \geq 65 $ years of age, including 7 (6%) patients $ \geq 75 $ years of age, received AMVUTTRA In HELIOS-B, a total of 299 (92%) patients $ \geq 65 $ years old, including 203 (62%) $ \geq 75 $ years old, received AMVUTTRA. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.

8.6 Renal Impairment

No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] $ \geq 3 0 $ to $ < 9 0 $ mL/min/1.73 $ m^{2} $ )[see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] AMVUTTRA has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease.

8.7 Hepatic Impairment

No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild (total bilirubin $ \leq1 $ x ULN and AST $ > 1 $ x ULN, or total bilirubin $ > 1.0 $ to 1.5 x ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin $ > 1.5 $ to 3 $ \times $ ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] . AMVUTTRA has not been studied in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

11 DESCRIPTION

AMVUTTRA contains vitrisiran, a chemically modified double-stranded small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that targets mutant and wild-type transthyretin (TTR) messenger RNA (mRNA) and is covalently linked to a ligand containing three N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues to enable delivery of the siRNA to hepatocytes.

The structural formula of vutrisiran sodium is presented below.

The molecular formula of vutrisiran sodium is $ \mathrm{C_{530}H_{672}F_{9}N_{171}Na_{43}O_{323}P_{43}S_{6}} $ with a molecular weight of 17,290 Da. The molecular formula of the free acid is $ \mathrm{C_{530}H_{715}F_{9}N_{171}O_{323}P_{43}S_{6}} $ with a molecular weight of 16,345 Da.

AMVUTTRA is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, clear, colorless-to-yellow solution for subcutaneous injection. Each 0.5 mL of solution contains 25 mg of vitrisiran (equivalent to 26.5 mg vitrisiran sodium), 0.2 mg sodium phosphate monobasic dihydrate, 0.7 mg sodium phosphate dibasic dihydrate, 3.2 mg sodium chloride, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide and/or phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to ~7.

Page 7

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Vutrisiran is a double-stranded siRNA-GalNAc conjugate that causes degradation of mutant and wild-type TTR mRNA through RNA interference, which results in a reduction of serum TTR protein and TTR protein deposits in tissues.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacodynamic effects of AMVUTTRA were evaluated in patients with hATTR-PN and ATTR-CM, treated with 25 mg AMVUTTRA administered by subcutaneous injection once every 3 months.

Polyneuropathy of Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis

In HELIOS-A [see Clinical Studies (14)] ,vutrisiran reduced mean serum TTR at steady state by 83%. Similar TTR reductions were observed regardless of Val30Met genotype status, weight, sex, age, or race.

Vutrisiran also reduced the mean steady state serum vitamin A by 62% over 9 months [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

Cardiomyopathy of Wild-type (wt) or Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis (hATTR).

In HELIOS-B, the mean serum TTR reduction profile was similar with that observed in HELIOS-A, and consistent across the subgroups studied (age, sex, race, body weight, anti-drug antibody [ADA] status, ATTR disease type (wtATTR versus hATTR), NYHA class, and baseline tafamidis use).

Vutrisiran reduced the mean steady state serum vitamin A by 65% over 36 months. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Cardiac Biomarkers

Biomarkers associated with heart failure (NT-proBNP and Troponin I) favored AMVUTTRA over placebo.

Cardiac Electrophysiology

At a dose 12 times the recommended dosage of 25 mg once every three months, AMVUTTRA does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of AMVUTTRA were evaluated following a single dose in healthy subjects and multiple doses in patients with hATTR amyloidosis, as summarized in Table 2.

Page 8

Table 2: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Vutrisiran

1After single subcutaneous vutrisiran dose from 5 to 300 mg (i.e., 0.2 to 12 times the recommended dose) in healthy subjects

Specific Populations

No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of lutrisiran were observed based on age, sex, race, mild and moderate renal impairment (eGFR $ \geq 3 0 $ to $ < 9 0 $ mL/min/1.73 $ m^{2} $ ), or mild (total bilirubin $ \leq 1 $ x ULN and AST $ > 1 $ x ULN, or total bilirubin $ > 1.0 $ to 1.5 x ULN and any AST) and moderate (total bilirubin $ > 1.5 $ to 3 $ \times $ ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment. Vutrisiran has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment, end-stage renal disease, severe hepatic impairment, or in patients with prior liver transplant.

Drug Interaction Studies

No clinical drug-drug interaction studies have been performed with vutrisiran. In vitro studies suggest that vutrisiran is not a substrate or inhibitor of cytochrome P450 enzymes. Vutrisiran is not expected to cause drug-drug interactions by inducing CYP enzymes or modulating the activities of drug transporters.

12.6 Immunogenicity

The observed incidence of anti-drug antibody (ADA, including neutralizing antibody) is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of ADA in the studies described below with the incidence of ADA in the other studies, including those of AMVUTTRA or of other siRNA products.

In HELIOS-A and HELIOS-B studies, 3 (2.5%) and 1 (0.3%) patient treated with AMVUTTRA, respectively, developed transient, low titer anti-drug antibodies. The available data are limited to make definitive conclusions regarding the effect of anti-drug antibodies on pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of AMVUTTRA.

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenesis

Subcutaneous administration of vitrisiran to male mice (0,2,6,or 13 mg/kg once every 4 weeks) for 100 weeks and to female mice (0,3,9, or 18 mg/kg once every 4 weeks) for 98 weeks resulted in no increase in tumors.

Subcutaneous administration of vitrisiran to male rats (0,4,7.5,or 15 mg/kg once every 4 weeks or 15 mg/kg once every 12 weeks) for 99 weeks and to female rats (0,6,12.5,or 25 mg/kg once every 4 weeks or 25 mg/kg once every 12 weeks) for 86-87 weeks resulted in no increase in tumors.

Mutagenesis

Vutrisiran was negative for mutagenicity in in vitro (bacterial mutagenicity, chromosomal aberration in human blood peripheral lymphocytes) and in vivo (rat bone marrow micronucleus) assays.

Impairment of Fertility

Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0,15,30,or 70 mg/kg/week) to male and female rats prior to and during mating and continuing in females to gestation day 6 resulted in no adverse effects on fertility or reproductive performance.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

14.1 Polyneuropathy of Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis

The efficacy of AMVUTTRA was evaluated in a randomized, open-label clinical trial in adult patients with hATTR-PN (HELIOS-A; NCT03759379). Patients were randomized 3:1 to receive 25 mg of AMVUTTRA subcutaneously once every 3 months (N=122),or 0.3 mg/kg patisiran intravenously every 3 weeks (N=42)as a reference group.Ninety-seven percent of AMVUTTRA-treated patients and 93% of patisiran-treated patients completed at least 9 months of the assigned treatment.

Efficacy assessments were based on a comparison of the AMVUTTRA arm of HELIOS-A with an external placebo group in another study (NCT01960348) composed of a comparable population of adult patients with polyneuropathy caused by hATTR amyloidosis.

The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline to Month 9 in modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7 (mNIS+7). The mNIS+7 is an objective assessment of neuropathy and comprises the NIS and Modified +7 composite scores. In the version of the mNIS+7 used in the trial, the NIS objectively measures deficits in cranial nerve function, muscle strength, and reflexes, and the +7 assesses postural blood pressure, quantitative sensory testing, and peripheral nerve electrophysiology. The mNIS+7 has a total score range from 0 to 304 points, with higher scores representing a greater severity of disease.

The clinical meaningfulness of effects on the mNIS+7 was assessed by the change from baseline to Month 9 in Norfolk Quality of Life-Diabetic Neuropathy (QoL-DN) total score. The Norfolk QoL-DN scale is a patient-reported assessment that evaluates the subjective experience of neuropathy in the following domains: physical functioning/large fiber neuropathy, activities of daily living, symptoms, small fiber neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. The Norfolk QoL-DN has a total score range from -4 to 136, with higher scores representing greater impairment.

Additional endpoints were gait speed, as measured by the 10-meter walk test (10MWT), and modified body mass index (mBMI).

Treatment with AMVUTTRA in HELIOS-A resulted in statistically significant improvements in the mNIS+7, Norfolk QoL-DN total score, and 10-meter walk test at Month 9 compared to placebo in the external study $ ( p<0.001) $ [Table 3, Figure 1, and

Page 10

Figure 3]. The distributions of changes in mNIS+7 and Norfolk QoL-DN total scores from baseline to Month 9 by percent of patients are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4, respectively.

The change from baseline to Month 9 in modified body mass index nominally favored AMVUTTRA [Table 3].

Patients receiving AMVUTTRA in HELIOS-A experienced similar improvements relative to those in the external placebo group in mNIS+7 and Norfolk QoL-DN total score across all subgroups including age, sex, race, region, NIS score, Val30Met genotype status, and disease stage.

14.2 Cardiomyopathy of Wild-type or Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis

The efficacy of AMVUTTRA was evaluated in a multicenter, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (HELIOS-B, NCT04153149) in 654 adult patients with wild-type or hereditary ATTR-CM. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive 25 mg of AMVUTTRA (n=326) subcutaneously once every 3 months, or matching placebo (n=328).

Treatment assignment was stratified by baseline tafamidis use (yes versus no), ATTR disease type (wtATTR or hATTR amyloidosis), and by baseline New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class I or II and age <75 years versus all other. At baseline, 40% of patients were on tafamidis. The mean age of study participants was 75 years, 93% were male, 84% were White, 7% were Black or African American, 6% were Asian, 2% did not report race and 1% were race other, 88% had wildtype ATTR, 13% were NYHA Class I, 78% were NYHA Class II, and 9% NYHA Class III. No significant imbalance in baseline characteristics was observed between the two treatment groups.

Participants were permitted to initiate open-label tafamidis during the study. A total of 85 participants initiated tafamidis: 44 (22%) in the AMVUTTRA arm and 41 (21%) in the placebo arm. The median time to initiation of tafamidis for these 85 participants was 18 months.

The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite outcome of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events (CV hospitalizations and urgent heart failure [UHF] visits) during the double-blind treatment period of up to 36 months, evaluated in the overall population and in the monotherapy population (defined as patients not receiving tafamidis at study baseline).

AMVUTTRA led to significant reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events compared to placebo in the overall and monotherapy population of 28% and 33%, respectively (Table 4). The majority of the deaths (77%) were CV-related. A Kaplan-Meier curve illustrating time to first CV event or all-cause mortality is presented in Figure 5.

Both components of the primary composite endpoint individually contributed to the treatment effect in the overall and monotherapy population (Table 4).

The treatment effect of AMVUTTRA on functional capacity and health status were assessed by the change from baseline to Month 30 in distance walked on 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT), and the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire- Overall Summary (KCCQ-OS) score, respectively.

At Month 30, the LS mean difference in change from baseline in distance walked on 6-MWT was 22 (95% CI:8,35; p=0.002) meters and 25 (95% CI:7,44; p=0.006) meters favoring AMVUTTRA over placebo in the overall population and monotherapy population, respectively.

At Month 30, the LS mean difference in the change from baseline in KCCQ-OS was 6 (95% CI:2,9; p=0.001) and 8 (95% CI:4,13; p=0.0003) favoring AMVUTTRA over placebo in the overall population and monotherapy population respectively.
