Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called ION-682884 in people with a rare heart condition caused by abnormal protein deposits (TTR amyloidosis). The drug is designed to lower the production of this protein in the liver, potentially slowing or stopping heart damage. Only patients who completed a prior 24-month study of a similar drug (inotersen) can join. The study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
