Background summary
Our bodies normally have a protein called Transthyretin in our blood. In some
patients, due to a genetic mutation, the transthyretin protein becomes unstable
and forms misfolded clumps called amyloid, which then deposit in our organs and
interfere with normal organ function. Symptomatic Transthyretin Amyloid
Polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN) occurs when amyloid deposits in nerves and interferes
with their normal function. AG10 is a stabilizer that functions by stabilizing
the transthyretin protein and preventing it from forming amyloid clumps. AG10
was previously tested in animals, in healthy volunteers and in patients with
transthyretin cardiomyopathy. Doctors cannot prescribe AG10 yet (outside a
study), because it is not yet approved in the Netherlands for treating patients
with ATTR-PN.
Study objective
Primary:
To determine the efficacy of AG10 in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic
transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy (ATTR-PN) by evaluating the difference
between the AG10 and placebo groups in Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score + 7
(mNIS+7) at 18 months of treatment relative to baseline
Key secondary:
* To evaluate the effects of AG10 on:
Norfolk Quality of Life Questionnaire-Diabetic Neuropathy (Norfolk QOL-DN),
modified body mass index (mBMI), and Composite Autonomic Score (COMPASS-31) in
subjects with symptomatic ATTR-PN
Other secondary:
* To describe the pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of AG10 as assessed by serial
measurements of an established assay of transthyretin (TTR) stabilization
* To assess the pharmacodynamic effects of AG10 as assessed by circulating
prealbumin (TTR) concentration as an in vivo biomarker of stabilization
* To evaluate the effect of AG10 on health-related quality of life (QOL) and
clinical outcome score as assessed by the Dyck/Rankin Score
* To assess the effect of AG10 on gait speed as a reflection of functional
ability
Exploratory:
* To assess the ability of AG10 to bind and stabilize a diverse array of
pathogenic and likely pathogenic variant TTR tetrameric species, representing
amino acid substitutions located throughout the sequence of TTR that are
responsible for a spectrum of clinical presentations, from sera and/or plasma
of subjects with ATTR-PN by ex vivo assays and exploratory assays.
* To evaluate the effects of AG10 on circulating biomarkers of myocardial wall
stress and microvascular ischemia in subjects with symptomatic ATTR-PN who may
also have cardiac involvement.
* To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of AG10 and its predominant
metabolite administered orally twice daily (BID) in subjects with symptomatic
ATTR-PN
* To evaluate the effects of AG10 on NSC
Safety:
* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AG10 administered for 18 months to
subjects with symptomatic ATTR-PN
Study design
This prospective, randomized, multicenter, parallel-group study will evaluate
the efficacy and safety of AG10 in subjects with symptomatic ATTR-PN compared
to placebo, on a background of local standard of care. Screening and
randomization will be followed by a total of 18 months of blinded,
placebo-controlled treatment.
At the end of 18 months of treatment, efficacy of AG10 will be assessed through
analyses of the neurologic impairment (mNIS+7), QOL (Norfolk QOL-DN),
nutritional status (mBMI), and autonomic symptoms (COMPASS-31).
Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to AG10 800 mg or matching
placebo administered orally twice daily (BID). Subjects will be stratified at
randomization based on Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS) (cutoff of <30 points
and *30 points) and concomitant use of tafamidis (Vyndaqel®, Pfizer) at its
labeled dosage and administration of 20mg/day at Screening.
Information on AEs and concomitant medications will be collected throughout the
study. The safety and conduct of the study will be monitored by an independent
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC).
All subjects that complete the double-blinded treatment period may be eligible
to participate in a separate Open Label Extension study of long-term AG10
treatment.
Intervention
Subjects will be assigned to one of two treatment groups:
- one group will receive 800 mg dose of AG10 (2 x 400 mg AG10 HCl tablets); and
- the second group will receive placebo (2 placebo tablets).
Each group will take their study medicine orally twice a day. Orally means the
study medicine is taken by mouth.
The group you are in will be selected at random (like rolling of a dice). You
will have a 2 to 1 chance of receiving AG10 versus placebo. This means, you
will have a 67% chance of receiving AG10, and a 33% chance of receiving
placebo.
