New drug aims to scrub sticky proteins from heart muscle
NCT ID NCT07448623
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early study tests a drug called coramitug in 14 people with ATTR-CM, a heart condition caused by abnormal protein buildup. The drug is designed to bind to and help remove these protein clumps from the heart. Researchers will use special scans to see where the drug goes and whether it can clear the deposits, while also checking for safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- coramitug (a monoclonal antibody)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a treatment that removes abnormal protein clumps from the heart in ATTR-CM, potentially slowing or improving the disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 14 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and imaging, not effectiveness. The drug may not work or could have side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * Informed consent obtained before any study-related activities. Study-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the study, including activities to determine suitability for the study. * Male or female. * Age greater than or equal to (≥) 60 years or above at the time of signing the informed consent. * For participants with Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM): * Have an established diagnosis of ATTR-CM, with either wild-type Transthyretin (TTR) or variant TTR genotype (ATTRwt) or (ATTRv), with cardiac amyloid infiltration, increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness, \& heart failure (HF): a) Cardiac amyloid infiltration demonstrated by: i. Cardiac biopsy positive for TTR amyloid, OR ii. Grade 2 or Grade 3 cardiac uptake at pyrophosphate/3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid/hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (PYP/DPD/HMDP) scintigraphy with Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) combined with an extracardiac biopsy positive for TTR amyloid, OR iii. Grade 2 or Grade 3 cardiac uptake at PYP/DPD/HMDP scintigraphy with SPECT/CT combined with normal serum free light chain ratio \& negative serum \& urine immunofixation (Serum Immunofixation \[SPIE\] and Urine Immunofixation \[UPIE\]) Note: Bone tracer scintigraphy using 99m technetium (Tc)-labelled pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP)/99mTc-labelled 3,3-diphosphono-1,2- propanodicarboxylic acid (99mTc-DPD)/99mTc-labeled hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (99m-Tc-HMDP) b. Increased LV wall thickness, as assessed by echocardiography showing LV posterior and septal wall thickness greater than or equal to (≥)13 millimeter (mm) for women and ≥ 14 mm for men (Note: Pre-existing echocardiogram up to 2 years old can be used). c. Chronic HF with: i. At least 1 documented hospitalisation for HF occurring greater than (\>) 3 months but less than (\<) 2 years, OR ii. History of HF manifested by signs or symptoms of volume overload or elevated intracardiac pressures (e.g., elevated jugular venous pressure, shortness of breath, signs of pulmonary con-gestion on x-ray or auscultation, or peripheral oedema) requiring ongoing treatment with a loop diuretic. Exclusion Criteria: * Known or suspected hypersensitivity to study intervention(s) or related products. * Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as signed informed consent. * Female who is pregnant, breast-feeding or intends to become pregnant or is of childbearing potential. * Current participation (i.e., signed informed consent) in any other interventional clinical study. * Participation in research studies involving exposure to radiation within a year preceding the screening period in this study.
