Quiver AI Summary
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. announced significant findings from the ATTRibute-CM open-label extension study, showcasing the effectiveness of acoramidis, an oral transthyretin stabilizer, in reducing cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Over 42 months post-randomization, acoramidis demonstrated a 44% reduction in risk of CVM and a 46% reduction in the composite outcome of CVM or first cardiovascular hospitalization (CVH). The drug also showed improved rates of disease stabilization, with a faster clinical benefit observed compared to previous studies. Acoramidis has been approved as Attruby® in the U.S. and BEYONTTRA® in Europe and other regions, indicating its potential to significantly enhance patient outcomes in ATTR-CM.
Potential Positives
- Acoramidis achieved a significant 44% reduction in the hazard of cardiovascular mortality (CVM) after 42 months of treatment, establishing it as a potentially transformative therapy for patients with ATTR-CM.
- The treatment showed a dramatic improvement in disease stabilization, with higher rates of patients experiencing disease stabilization or improvement compared to those on placebo, as evidenced by NT-proBNP metrics.
- Acoramidis is now approved in multiple significant regions, including the U.S. and Europe, enhancing its market potential and availability for patients suffering from ATTR-CM.
- The presentation of positive clinical data at a prestigious event like the European Society of Cardiology Congress highlights the company's commitment to advancing treatment options for genetic diseases and elevates its visibility in the biopharmaceutical community.
Potential Negatives
- Adverse reactions reported in patients treated with Attruby include diarrhea (11.6% vs 7.6% in placebo) and upper abdominal pain (5.5% vs 1.4% in placebo), which may raise concerns about the tolerability of the treatment.
- The release includes a significant disclaimer about the uncertainty of future results and potential risks that could impact the commercialization and development of acoramidis, which may signal a lack of confidence in sustained success.
- BridgeBio acknowledges dependency on third parties for development and the potential need for additional studies or data for regulatory approval, which highlights vulnerabilities in their operational strategy.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”), a new type of biopharmaceutical company focused on genetic diseases, presented data from the ATTRibute-CM open label extension (OLE) through Month 42, which demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in CVM in the overall transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) population. These data were presented in an oral presentation at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025, taking place in Madrid, Spain from August 29 - September 1, 2025. Acoramidis is a selective, small molecule, orally administered, near-complete (≥90%) transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer.
"These results from the ATTRibute-CM open-label extension study add to the growing body of evidence supporting acoramidis as a potentially transformative therapy for patients with ATTR-CM. At 42 months post-randomization, acoramidis achieved an impressive 44% reduction in the hazard of cardiovascular mortality. These findings highlight acoramidis’s meaningful impact on patient outcomes and address a critical unmet need for those living with ATTR-CM,” said Kevin Alexander, M.D. of Stanford University School of Medicine, USA.
Details from the oral presentation, Acoramidis Reduces Cardiovascular Mortality (CVM): Results at Month 42 from the ATTRibute-CM Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study , presented by Dr. Alexander, included:
- Acoramidis treatment administered for 42 months led to a 44% hazard reduction in CVM compared with the placebo to acoramidis treatment group
- These findings demonstrate the long-term clinical benefits of acoramidis for reducing CVM in ATTR-CM, and the importance of early and sustained treatment
In addition to the oral presentation, two posters were shared with additional analyses at 30 month results from ATTRibute-CM. These findings included:
-
Acoramidis-mediated Improvement in NT-proBNP at Month 30 Compared with Placebo in Patients with ATTR-CM: Results from the ATTRibute-CM Study
, presented by Nitasha Sarswat, M.D. of UChicago Medicine, USA
- Acoramidis treatment resulted in improved or stable N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a biomarker used to assess heart failure and monitor its progression, at Month 30 in about 50% of study participants compared with fewer than 20% with placebo, indicating a clinically meaningful improvement in NT-proBNP and better stabilization of their disease
-
Acoramidis Has a Beneficial Effect Compared with Placebo on Change from Baseline in NAC ATTR Stage at Month 30 in Patients with ATTR-CM: Results from the ATTRibute-CM Study
, presented by Julian Gillmore, M.D., Ph.D., University College London's Centre for Amyloidosis, UK
- Acoramidis treatment resulted in a greater proportion of participants whose NAC Stage, a staging system developed by the National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) to classify patients based on disease severity, protect against heart damage and improve cardiovascular function improved or remained stable at Month 30 compared with placebo, indicating better stabilization of their disease
Bayer, BridgeBio’s European licensing partner, will also have a poster shared by Francesco Cappelli, M.D. of Careggi University Hospital, Florence, IT, showing acoramidis achieved clinically meaningful improvements from baseline in NT-proBNP and/or six-minute walk distance test across 30 months in patients with ATTR-CM. In March 2024, BridgeBio entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Bayer Consumer Care AG to commercialize BEYONTTRA in Europe for the treatment for ATTR‑CM.
Acoramidis is approved as Attruby by the U.S. FDA and is approved as BEYONTTRA by the European Commission, Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, and the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency with all labels specifying near-complete stabilization of TTR.
More data on the benefit of Attruby for ATTR-CM patients are planned for future medical meetings.
