Abstract
This focused review will highlight the results of HELIOS-B, the first randomized outcomes trial evaluating a gene silencing treatment for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM). In HELIOS-B, vutrisiran was tested against placebo and demonstrated a 28% reduction in the composite of all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events. Additionally, there were clinically significant benefits on the 6-min walk test, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, and NYHA class. Discontinuation rates and adverse events were similar between treatment and control arms, suggesting that vutrisiran is well tolerated. In this review, these promising results are explored and compared with other treatment trials in ATTR-CM.
