- Acoramidis initiation was associated with rapid kidney-protective activity as exhibited in a hemodynamically mediated, reversible eGFR dip and a placebo-corrected 15.5% reduction in UACR by Day 28 (P<0.05), with no kidney-related adverse events observed in these post-hoc analyses

-Treatment with acoramidis provided a sustained, improved chronic eGFR slope (+2.47 mL/min/1.73m²/year; p<0.001) sustained UACR reduction (13.7%; p=0.026) through Month 30

- Acoramidis demonstrated a profile consistent with drugs that act directly on the kidney, such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and SGLT2 inhibitors, which has not previously been observed with any other approved ATTR-CM therapy and supports a direct kidney mechanism that is potentially independent of TTR-stabilization

-The magnitude of the acute eGFR dip in participants treated with acoramidis was positively associated with a reduction in early cardiovascular outcomes; the opposite was observed with placebo

- The acute, reversible eGFR dip following acoramidis initiation reflects a favorable hemodynamic renal response that may help explain the early separation in cardiovascular outcomes versus placebo. Kidney function is especially important in heart failure, where a progressive decline in kidney function compounds mortality risk

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage, multi-product biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines for genetic conditions, today announced the publication of new analyses in Circulation: Heart Failure , examining kidney function in individuals with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) treated with acoramidis. This publication was based on post-hoc analyses of data from randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trials including the Phase 2 study and the Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM study. Acoramidis is the only selective small molecule, orally administered, near-complete (≥90%) transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer.

“In these data, we observed early and sustained cardiorenal benefits of acoramidis treatment with a pattern similar to what we see with drugs such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and SGLT2 inhibitors, suggesting acoramidis may have a direct effect on kidney function. These effects have not been reported with other ATTR-CM medications. Acoramidis appears to have a protective effect on the heart and the kidney simultaneously, with potentially meaningful implications for long-term survival and reduced cardiovascular hospitalizations. Kidney dysfunction is pervasive in this population and an independent predictor of mortality from ATTR-CM. For a patient population that is older, sicker, and increasingly surviving long enough for organ preservation to matter, these cardiorenal observations represent an important advancement in the care of patients living with ATTR-CM,” said Professor Jeffrey Testani, M.D., M.T.R. of the Yale School of Medicine, U.S., and first author on the Circulation: Heart Failure manuscript.

The post-hoc analyses shared in the publication demonstrated that acoramidis initiation was associated with direct kidney-protective effects in patients with ATTR-CM, with both early and sustained improvements in kidney function, resembling the pattern seen with drugs acting directly on the kidney. Findings included:

  • Acoramidis was associated with an early, reversible estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) dip of 8.5±0.48 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (95% CI: 7.57, 9.44), which was accompanied by a reduction in placebo-corrected urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) by 15.5% by Day 28 (P<0.05); such a reduction in UACR may suggest a direct impact on kidney health
  • A sustained, improved chronic eGFR slope (+2.47 mL/min/1.73m²/year; p<0.001) and sustained UACR reduction (13.7%; p=0.026) were observed through Month 30, resembling the pattern seen with drugs acting directly on the kidney, such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and SGLT2 inhibitors
  • The acute dip in eGFR following initiation of acoramidis may represent a beneficial kidney effect that could be relevant to the previously reported, observed early separation within the first 3 months between acoramidis and placebo in adverse clinical outcomes and the cumulative cardiovascular-related mortality or recurrent cardiovascular-related hospitalizations (CVH) curves, with a numerical difference in events within 1 month
  • Participants with dips larger than the overall population median experienced a 58% lower risk of death or cardiovascular hospitalization (HR: 0.42; 95% CI, 0.22–0.78; P=0.006) and 66% lower risk of hospitalization alone (HR: 0.34; 95% CI, 0.17–0.66; P=0.002) in the first year of treatment. Within the placebo arm, eGFR dips were associated with worse outcomes

Acoramidis is approved as Attruby ® by the U.S. FDA and is approved as BEYONTTRA ® by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, Swissmedic, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency ( ANVISA) with all labels specifying near-complete stabilization of TTR.

About Attruby ® (acoramidis)
INDICATION
Attruby is a transthyretin stabilizer indicated for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or variant transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in adults to reduce cardiovascular death and cardiovascular-related hospitalization.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Adverse Reactions
Diarrhea (11.6% vs 7.6%) and upper abdominal pain (5.5% vs 1.4%) were reported in patients treated with Attruby versus placebo, respectively. The majority of these adverse reactions were mild and resolved without drug discontinuation. Discontinuation rates due to adverse events were similar between patients treated with Attruby versus placebo (9.3% and 8.5%, respectively).
