Amvuttra is indicated for the treatment of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy.
Therapy should be initiated under the supervision of a physician knowledgeable in the management of amyloidosis. Treatment should be started as early as possible in the disease course to prevent the accumulation of disability.
The recommended dose of Amvuttra is 25 mg administered via subcutaneous injection once every 3 months.
Vitamin A supplementation at approximately, but not exceeding, 2500 IU to 3000 IU vitamin A per day is advised for patients treated with Amvuttra (see section 4.4).
The decision to continue treatment in those patients whose disease progresses to stage 3 polyneuropathy should be taken at the discretion of the physician based on the overall benefit and risk assessment.
If a dose is missed, Amvuttra should be administered as soon as possible. Dosing should be resumed every 3 months, from the most recently administered dose.
No dose adjustment is required in patients ≥65 years of age (see section 5.2).
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild hepatic impairment (total bilirubin ≤1 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >1 x ULN, or total bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 x ULN and any AST). Vutrisiran has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment and should only be used in these patients if the anticipated clinical benefit outweighs the potential risk (see section 5.2).
No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥30 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m²). Vutrisiran has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease and should only be used in these patients if the anticipated clinical benefit outweighs the potential risk (see section 5.2).
The safety and efficacy of Amvuttra in children or adolescents <18 years of age have not been established. No data are available.
