ConTTRibute: A Global Observational Study of Patients With Transthyretin (TTR)-Mediated Amyloidosis (ATTR Amyloidosis)

Incidence of Adverse Events

Time frame: From time of enrollment for up to 10 years

Selected Events of Interest in Patients with Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) or Wild-type Transthyretin-mediated (wtATTR) Amyloidosis (ATTRv Amyloidosis)

Time frame: From 1 year prior to enrollment for up to 10 years

Selected events of interest are defined as hepatic events, cardiovascular events, renal events, ocular events and infusion-related reactions, hypersensitivity, and other events in patients diagnosed with hATTR or wtATTR amyloidosis.

Health Care Provider (HCP)-Assessed Polyneuropathy (PND) Disability Score

Time frame: Up to 11 years

PND Scores: Stage 0=No symptoms; Stage I=Sensory disturbances but preserved walking capabilities; Stage II=Impaired walking capacity, but ability to walk without a stick or crutches; Stage IIIA=Walking with help of 1 stick or crutch; Stage IIIB=Walking with the help of 2 sticks or crutches; Stage IV=confined to wheel chair or bedridden.

HCP-Assessed Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (FAP) Score

Time frame: Up to 11 years

FAP Scores: Stage 0=No symptoms; Stage I=Unimpaired ambulation; mostly mild sensory, motor and autonomic neuropathy in the lower limbs; Stage II=Assistance with ambulation required, mostly moderate impairment progression to the lower limbs, upper limbs, and trunk; Stage III=Wheelchair-bound or bedridden; severe sensory, motor, and autonomic involvement of all limbs.

HCP-Assessed Neuropathy Impairment Score (NIS)

Time frame: Up to 11 years

NIS : 74 items, assess muscle weakness, reflexes and sensation; scored separately for left, right limbs (37 items for each side). Components of muscle weakness (hip and knee flexion, hip and knee extension, ankle dorsiflexors, ankle plantar flexors, toe extensors, toe flexors) scored on scale 0 (normal) to 4 (paralysis), higher score=greater weakness. Components of reflexes (quadriceps femoris, triceps surae) and sensation (touch pressure, pin-prick, vibration, joint position) scored 0 = normal, 1= decreased, or 2 = absent. Total possible NIS score range 0-244, higher score=greater impairment.

HCP-Assessed Cardiomyopathy

Time frame: Up to 11 years

Cardiomyopathy will be assessed using New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class: I=No symptoms; II=Symptoms with ordinary physical activity; III=Symptoms with less than ordinary physical activity; IV=Symptoms at rest.

HCP- Assessed Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) Performance

Time frame: Up to 11 years

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

Time frame: Up to 11 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: Up to 11 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).

Rasch-built Overall Disability Scale (R-ODS)

Time frame: Up to 11 years

The R-ODS is a 24-item self-administered questionnaire for assessment of the disability a patient experiences. It uses a linearly weighted categorical rating scale that specifically captures domains of activity and social participation limitations in patients.

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.
