A Non-interventional Cohort Safety Study of Patients With hATTR-PN
Study Rationale:
hATTR-PN is an inherited, progressive, fatal disease caused by misfolded transthyretin (TTR) proteins that accumulate as amyloid fibrils predominantly in the peripheral nerves, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs. hATTR-PN is a rare disease and there are no large epidemiological studies that reliably provide an indication of its prevalence. The worldwide distribution is unequal, with higher rates in Portugal, Japan, Brazil, Northern Sweden, and the US. Current estimates suggest there may be 10,000 afflicted patients worldwide.
This is a prospective, non-interventional, Long-term, multinational cohort safety study of patients with Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN). The overarching goal of this study is to further characterize the long-term safety of TEGSEDI (inotersen) in patients with hATTR-PN under real-world conditions.
