PITTSBURGH, Nov. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PANTHERx Rare, a leader in rare disease product patient access and support services in the United States, is pleased to announce that it was selected by BridgeBio for the distribution of Attruby (acoramidis), a high-affinity transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer for twice daily oral administration, approved for the treatment of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).2,5
Attruby is the first and only approved product with a label specifying near-complete stabilization of TTR. Attruby was designed to mimic a naturally occurring "rescue mutation" of the TTR gene (T119M) that targets the root cause of ATTR-CM, destabilization of the native TTR tetramer. Through near-complete TTR stabilization, Attruby has been shown to preserve the native function of TTR as a transport protein of thyroxine and vitamin A and to demonstrate benefit on cardiovascular outcomes.
"Panther is committed to providing tailored solutions for people living with rare and devastating conditions and we look forward to the partnership with BridgeBio and serving the needs of patients suffering from transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy," said Rob Snyder, Executive Chair, PANTHERx Rare Pharmacy.
