NCT ID NCT06321523

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at how well the drug tafamidis 61mg works for Korean patients with a rare heart condition called transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Researchers tracked 13 patients who were already prescribed the drug in real-world clinics. They measured changes in heart function, symptoms, and lab tests over time to see if the medicine helped manage the disease.

Active substance

tafamidis 61mg

What this could lead to

If results are positive, this could confirm that tafamidis helps manage ATTR-CM in Korean patients, supporting its use in this population.

What could go wrong

This was a very small study (13 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. It also only looked at people already taking the drug, which can bias findings.
