Abstract
Background Tafamidis (Vyndaqel) was approved by the EMA in 2011 and is emerging as the standard of care for transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) in clinical settings. Efficacy was demonstrated in the clinical trials, yet little is known about its real-world effectiveness. A global disease registry, the Transthyretin Amyloidosis Outcomes Survey (THAOS), collects data on both treated and untreated patients from real-world settings. Ethics committee approval was obtained prior to patient enrolment.
