ABSTRACTThe new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which gives rise to the highly contagious COVID-19 disease, has caused a pandemic that is overwhelming health care systems worldwide. Affected patients have been reported to have a heightened inflammatory state that increases their thrombotic risk. However, there is very scarce information on the management of thrombotic risk, coagulation disorders, and anticoagulant therapy. In addition, the situation has also greatly influenced usual care in patients not infected with COVID-19.

Background Hereditary transthyretin (ATTRv) amyloidosis is a rare, inherited, progressive disease caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of long-term treatment with patisiran, an RNA interference therapeutic that inhibits TTR production, in patients with ATTRv amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. MethodsThis multi-country, multi-centre, open-label extension (OLE) trial enrolled patients at 43 sites in 19 countries as of 24 September 2018. Patients were eligible if they had completed the phase 3 APOLLO (randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled [2:1], 18-month study) or phase 2 OLE (single-arm, 24-month study) parent studies and tolerated the study drug. Eligible patients from APOLLO (APOLLO-patisiran [received patisiran during APOLLO] and APOLLO-placebo [received placebo during APOLLO] groups) and the phase 2 OLE (phase 2 OLE patisiran group) studies enrolled in this Global OLE trial and receive patisiran 0•3 mg/kg by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for up to 5 years. Efficacy assessments include measures of polyneuropathy (modified Neuropathy Impairment Score +7 [mNIS+7]), quality of life, autonomic symptoms, nutritional status, disability, ambulation status, motor function, and cardiac stress. Patients included in the current efficacy analyses are those who had completed 12-month efficacy assessments as of the data cut-off. Safety analyses included all patients who received ≥1 dose of patisiran up to the data cut-off. The Global OLE is ongoing with no new enrolment, and current findings are based on the 12-month interim analysis. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02510261.
