DemonsTTRate: A Global, Observational, Multicenter, Long-term Study of Patients With ATTR-CM in a Real-World Setting

New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class

Time frame: From time of ATTR-CM diagnosis up to 5 years

The NYHA functional classification categorizes the severity of heart failure. Patients are classified in 1 of 4 categories based on their physical limitations, as follows: * Class I No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, or shortness of breath. * Class II Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath or chest pain. * Class III Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath or chest pain. * Class IV Symptoms of heart failure at rest. Any physical activity causes further discomfort.

Outpatient Diuretic Intensification

Time frame: From time of enrollment for up to 5 years

The clinician-reported outcome of ODI, which measures any post-diagnosis initiation or increase in the dose of loop diuretics, may help identify patients with ATTR-CM who are at an increased risk for adverse outcomes. ODI, a marker to monitor disease progression and/or worsening heart failure, is associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular hospitalizations, and urgent heart failure visits. Clinicians monitor ODI to help manage patients with ATTR-CM.

Norfolk Quality of Life - Diabetic Neuropathy (QOL-DN) Total Score

Time frame: From time of enrollment (if available) or ATTR-CM diagnosis up to 5 years

Norfolk-QoL-DN: The Norfolk QOL-DN questionnaire is a standardized 35-item patient-reported outcomes measure that assesses 6 domains: physical function, large-fiber neuropathy, activities of daily living, symptoms, small-fiber neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. The total score ranges from -4 points (best possible quality of life) to 136 points (worst possible quality of life).

Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)

Time frame: From time of enrollment (if available) or ATTR-CM diagnosis up to 5 years

The KCCQ is a 23-item self-administered questionnaire developed to independently measure the patient's perception of health status, which includes heart failure symptoms, impact on physical and social function, and how their heart failure impacts their quality of life within a 2-week recall period. The KCCQ quantifies 6 domains (symptoms, physical function, quality of life, social limitation, self-efficacy, and symptom stability) and 2 summary scores (clinical and overall summary \[OS\] scores).

Patient Global Impressions - Change (PGI-C)

Time frame: From time of enrollment (if available) or ATTR-CM diagnosis up to 5 years

The PGI-C is a 7-point numerical rating scale where 1 indicates "very much improved" and 7 indicates "very much worse."

Patient Global Impressions - Severity (PGI-S);

Time frame: From time of enrollment (if available) or ATTR-CM diagnosis up to 5 years

The PGI-S is a 7-point numerical rating scale where 1 indicates "very much improved" and 7 indicates "very much worse."

Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication version 9 (TSQM-9)

Time frame: From time of enrollment (if available) or ATTR-CM diagnosis up to 5 years

TSQM-9 is a 9-item general instrument that measures the major dimensions of satisfaction with a medication. The questionnaire consists of 3 domains: effectiveness, convenience and side effects. The scores of each domain range from 0 to 100 with higher scores representing higher satisfaction on that domain.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
