Polyneuropathy

ONPATTRO® (patisiran) significantly improved polyneuropathy1

Primary Endpoint: 1,2

  • Change from baseline at 18 months vs placebo in modified Neuropathy Impairment Score + 7 (mNIS+7)
  • mNIS+7 is an objective 304-point assessment of polyneuropathy in hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis

Change in mNIS+7 score1,a-c

ONPATTRO® (patisiran) demonstrated significant improvement in polyneuropathy at 18 months from baseline versus placebo

 

  • The progression of polyneuropathy in the placebo arm was consistent with the natural progression of the disease described in previous studies3-5
  • Maintenance of efficacy was demonstrated for up to 36 months in 2 OLE studies6

aMean mNIS+7 at baseline was 80.9 with ONPATTRO and 74.6 with placebo.1 bBars represent SEM. cN=number of evaluable patients. d95% CI: -20.7, -11.3.1 e95% CI: -39.9, -28.1.1

CI=confidence interval; LS=least squares; OLE=open-label extension; SEM=standard error of the mean.

ONPATTRO demonstrated significant improvement vs placebo across the sensory, motor and autonomic components associated with mNIS+7.1

gN=number of evaluable patients.
h95% CI: 48, 64.3
i95% CI: 0, 8.3
jReversal defined as mNIS+7 change from baseline of <0 points.

More than half of patients treated with ONPATTRO experienced reversal in neuropathy impairment from baseline3

  • At 18 months, 56% of ONPATTRO-treated patients experienced reversal in neuropathy impairment compared to 4% of placebo-treated patients3
  • For ONPATTRO-treated patients who did not experience reversal in neuropathy impairment, progression was slowed compared to the placebo arm (median change of 10 points vs 26 points)3
  • Patients who received placebo in the APOLLO study experienced a mean reduction in mNIS+7 after 12 months of treatment with ONPATTRO in an open-label extension study6
 

The benefit of ONPATTRO on neuropathy impairment was observed across all subgroups, including age, sex, mutation status, previous tetramer stabilizer use, and disease stage.1,3
