BridgeBio Pharma Presents Additional Data and Analyses from its Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM Study in Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) at ESC-HF, Including That Acoramidis Treatment Significantly Reduced All-Cause Mortality in a Pre-specified Sensiti
May 13 2024 - 7:30AM
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the
“Company”), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company
focused on genetic diseases and cancers, announced positive results
of four new analyses from its Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM study of
acoramidis in ATTR-CM at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
Heart Failure Congress 2024. ATTRibute-CM was designed to study the
efficacy and safety of acoramidis, an investigational,
next-generation, orally-administered, highly potent, small molecule
stabilizer of TTR.
The data presented at ESC Heart Failure included a sub-analysis
comparing acoramidis to placebo in Stage 4 CKD and results from a
pre-specified ITT sensitivity analysis shared by Steen Hvitfeldt
Poulsen, M.D., Ph.D., D.M.Sc. of the Aarhus University Hospital,
DK. Key results included:
- In a pre-specified sensitivity analysis applied to the entire
ITT population (N=632), acoramidis significantly reduced all-cause
mortality (ACM) as assessed by the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH)
test (p=0.04)
- In high-risk participants with Stage 4 CKD (N=21), acoramidis
treatment was associated with 25% relative risk reduction in deaths
at Month 30 versus placebo, consistent with the observations in the
modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population (N=611)
- No safety signals of potential clinical concern were
identified
“ATTRibute-CM breaks new ground studying the efficacy and safety
of acoramidis, a next-generation TTR stabilizer, as the only
ATTR-CM outcomes trial to include patients with eGFR <25
mL/min/1.73m2,” said Dr. Poulsen. “We recruited patients with Stage
4 CKD (eGFR between 15 and 30 mL/min/1.73m2) to explore the safety
of acoramidis in this very high-risk population; in a pre-specified
all-cause mortality (ACM) efficacy analysis of the total ITT
population including these patients, acoramidis demonstrated a
statistically significant benefit within 30 months. Even in this
very high-risk Stage 4 CKD group, ACM favored active treatment with
no safety signals of clinical concern.”
Additional acoramidis presentations at ESC Heart Failure
included:
- Health-related quality of life in patients with transthyretin
amyloid cardiomyopathy treated with acoramidis: an EQ-5D-5L
analysis from the ATTRibute-CM study, presented by Peter Van Der
Meer, M.D., Ph.D., cardiologist, chair of the Department of
Experimental Cardiology and professor of Heart Failure and
Translational Cardiology at University Medical Centre Groningen, NL
- Acoramidis is the only ATTR-CM product candidate assessed with
the EuroQoL Health Outcomes Assessment tool EQ-5D-5L and
demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically important
reduction in the progressive decline in health-related quality of
life
- Improved health-related quality of life in acoramidis-treated
patients with ATTR-CM, demonstrated by improvements in KCCQ scores,
presented by Marianna Fontana, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Cardiology
and Honorary Consultant Cardiologist at the National Amyloidosis
Centre, Division of Medicine, University College London, UK
- Acoramidis treatment reduced the decline in health status and
quality of life as shown by statistically significant and
clinically meaningful benefits in the KCCQ overall summary score,
and supported by numerical and consistent benefits in individual
KCCQ domains
- Acoramidis significantly improves NT-proBNP indices that
indicate ATTR-CM disease progression and predict subsequent
mortality: insights from the ATTRibute-CM study, presented by Pablo
Garcia-Pavia, M.D., Ph.D., Iron Gate Majadahonda University
Hospital, ES
- In separate publications, increase in NT-proBNP has been
proposed as a metric signaling disease progression (Progressor
Index 1) and has been shown to predict mortality in wild-type
ATTR-CM at 12 months after diagnosis (Progressor Index 2).
Acoramidis slows disease progression as measured by significant
improvement in these Progressor Indices.
Based on the positive results from ATTRibute-CM, BridgeBio
submitted a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, which has been accepted with a PDUFA action date of
November 29, 2024, and a Marketing Authorization Application to the
European Medicines Agency, with a decision expected in 2025.
BridgeBio has granted exclusive rights to Bayer to commercialize
acoramidis for ATTR-CM in Europe.

BridgeBio and Bayer European License for Acoramidis –
About the Collaboration
In March 2024, BridgeBio granted Bayer exclusive license to
commercialize acoramidis as a treatment for patients with
transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in Europe.
Acoramidis is an investigational, highly potent and selective small
molecule, under development as an orally administered transthyretin
(TTR) stabilizer for the treatment of patients with ATTR-CM a
progressive fatal disease presenting as an infiltrative,
restrictive cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure.
This partnership leverages Bayer’s long legacy of expertise in
cardiovascular disease and its established European cardiovascular
infrastructure paired with BridgeBio’s leadership in the emerging
field of ATTR-CM.
