Acoramidis

Chemical formula: C₁₅H₁₇FN₂O₃  Molecular mass: 292.122 g/mol  PubChem compound: 71464713

Interactions

Acoramidis interacts in the following cases:

CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 substrates with narrow therapeutic index

Acoramidis was shown to be an inhibitor of CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 in vitro. No in vivo study has been performed. Therefore, concomitant CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 substrates with narrow therapeutic index should be used with caution.

UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) inducers, strong CYP3A inducers

Acoramidis is metabolized by UGT enzyme-mediated glucuronidation. Concomitant use of UGT inducers can potentially decrease acoramidis exposure. While acoramidis is not metabolized by CYP3A, strong CYP3A inducers can also induce UGT enzymes. Avoid concomitant use of acoramidis with UGT inducers and strong CYP3A inducers.

Hepatic impairment

Acoramidis has not been studied in patients with hepatic impairment and therefore is not recommended for use in this population.

Severe renal impairment

Data in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) are limited and there are no data for patients on dialysis. Hence acoramidis should be used with caution in this population.

Pregnancy

There are no data on the use of acoramidis in pregnant women.

Studies in animals have shown developmental toxicity at a dose which also caused maternal toxicity. Acoramidis is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception.

Nursing mothers

It is unknown whether acoramidis or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded. Acoramidis should not be used during breast-feeding.

Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis and fertility

Fertility

No human data on fertility is available. Impairment of fertility has not been observed in non-clinical studies in supratherapeutic exposures.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

Acoramidis has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.

Adverse reactions


Summary of the safety profile

Based on the clinical study, the most frequently reported adverse reactions were diarrhoea (11.6%) and gout (11.2%).

Tabulated list of adverse reactions

The safety data reflect exposure of 421 participants with ATTR-CM to acoramidis 712 mg (as two tablets of 356 mg) administered orally twice daily in a pivotal Phase 3 randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 30 months fixed treatment duration in patients diagnosed with ATTR-CM.

Adverse reactions are listed below by MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC) and frequency categories using the standard convention: Very common (≥1/10), Common (≥1/100 to <1/10), and Uncommon (≥1/1 000 to <1/100). Adverse reactions listed in the table below are from cumulative clinical data in ATTR-CM participants.

List of adverse reactions:

System Organ Class Very common
Gastrointestinal disorders Diarrhoea
Metabolism and nutrition disorders Gout

Description of selected adverse reactions

The majority of events of diarrhoea and gout were non-serious and resolved.
