New drug may boost protein levels in heart disease patients

NCT ID NCT07298044

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether switching from tafamidis to acoramidis can raise blood levels of transthyretin (TTR) in adults with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). The drug acoramidis stabilizes TTR to prevent harmful amyloid clumps that stiffen the heart. Researchers will measure TTR levels over 6 months in 50 participants who have already been on tafamidis. The goal is to see if acoramidis works better at keeping TTR stable.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

acoramidis (a drug that stabilizes the TTR protein to prevent amyloid buildup)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could show that acoramidis raises TTR levels more than tafamidis, potentially offering a better option for managing ATTR-CM.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 50 participants and no placebo group. It measures a lab marker (TTR level), not long-term heart outcomes, so benefits are uncertain.
