Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: APOLLO-B: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Patisiran in Patients With Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Cardiomyopathy (ATTR Amyloidosis With Cardiomyopathy)

Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants will be administered multiple doses of placebo in the double-blind period. In the open-label extension period, participants will be administered multiple doses of patisiran.
Drug: Placebo
Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) matching volume of patisiran doses will be administered intravenously.

Drug: Patisiran
Patisiran will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion.

  • patisiran-LNP




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline at Month 12 in Six-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12 ]
    Distance in meters walked in 6 minutes, longer distances indicate greater functional capacity. Missing 6MWT values due to non-COVID-19 death or inability to walk due to ATTR disease progression were imputed using the worst 10th percentile change observed in the DB period. Missing 6-MWT values due to other reasons are multiply imputed to create 100 complete datasets. The change from baseline is averaged across the 100 complete datasets.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change From Baseline at Month 12 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary (KCCQ-OS) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12 ]
    The KCCQ is a 23-item self-administered questionnaire quantifying 6 domains (symptoms, physical function, quality of life, social limitation, self-efficacy, and symptom stability) and 2 summary scores (clinical and overall summary [OS]). Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status.

  2. Composite Endpoint of All-Cause Mortality, Frequency of Cardiovascular (CV) Events (CV Hospitalizations and Urgent Heart Failure [HF] Visits) and Change From Baseline in 6-MWT Analyzed by Win Ratio [ Time Frame: Up to Month 12 ]
    The composite endpoint was analyzed using the stratified win ratio method, stratified by baseline tafamidis use. This method combines all-cause mortality, frequency of CV events (CV hospitalizations and HF visits) and change from baseline in 6-MWT in a hierarchical fashion. This method makes within-stratum pairwise comparisons for all patisiran-placebo participant pairs in a sequential manner (first mortality, then CV events, then 6-MWT), with later steps evaluated only in the case of a tie on the prior step. Within each stratum, the win ratio is the total number of 'winners' divided by the total number of 'losers' in the active group. A win ratio >1 represents a favorable outcome for patisiran.

  3. Composite Endpoint of All-Cause Mortality and Frequency of All-Cause Hospitalizations and Urgent HF Visits in Participants Not on Tafamidis at Baseline [ Time Frame: Up to Month 12 ]
    The hazard rate of all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalizations and urgent HF visits will be compared between treatment groups using an Andersen-Gill model. A hazard ratio <1 represents a favorable outcome for patisiran.

  4. Composite Endpoint of All-cause Mortality and Frequency of All-cause Hospitalizations and Urgent HF Visits in All Participants [ Time Frame: Up to Month 12 ]
    The hazard rate of all-cause mortality and all-cause hospitalizations and urgent HF visits was compared between treatment groups using a modified Andersen-Gill model. A hazard ratio <1 represents a favorable outcome for patisiran.
