CLEOPATTRA: A Research Study to Look at the Effects of Treatment With a Medicine Called Coramitug (NNC6019-0001) in People With Heart Failure Due to Transthyretin Amyloid (ATTR) Amyloidosis
The CLEOPATTRA study is investigating a new medicine, Coramitug (also known as NNC6019-0001), for people who have heart failure due to a condition called transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) amyloidosis. This condition causes unusual protein deposits to build up in the heart, making it harder for the heart to work properly. The main goal of this study is to find out if Coramitug can help lower the risk of heart-related deaths and other serious heart problems. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either the new medicine or a placebo (a treatment that looks the same but contains no active medicine). It's important to know that everyone in the study will continue to receive the standard heart treatments their doctor recommends, alongside their study treatment. This is a Phase 3 study, meaning the medicine has already been tested in smaller groups and is now being tested on a larger scale to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
Auf einen Blick
Worum geht es in dieser Studie?
The CLEOPATTRA study is focusing on a specific type of heart problem called transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, often shortened to ATTR-CM. In this condition, a protein called transthyretin doesn't fold correctly and builds up in the heart. This build-up makes the heart muscle stiff and thick, which means it can't pump blood as effectively as it should. This can lead to symptoms of heart failure, such as breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling.
Researchers want to see if a new medicine, Coramitug, can make a difference for people living with ATTR-CM. The hope is that this medicine might be able to slow down or reduce the damage to the heart, potentially leading to fewer serious heart problems and perhaps even improving how well people live with the condition. By comparing Coramitug to a placebo, doctors can understand if the medicine itself is causing any positive changes, rather than other factors.
This study is important because ATTR-CM is a serious condition, and new treatments are always needed to help people manage it better. The results of this large study will help doctors decide if Coramitug could become a new option for treating ATTR-CM and improving the lives of those affected.
Wichtige Erkenntnisse
- The study tests a new medicine, Coramitug, for heart failure caused by ATTR amyloidosis.
- It aims to reduce heart-related deaths and illness.
- Participants will receive either Coramitug or a placebo.
- All participants will continue their usual heart treatments.
- It's a large-scale Phase 3 clinical trial.
Wer könnte berechtigt sein?
To be considered for this study, you need to be at least 18 years old. You must have a confirmed diagnosis of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). This diagnosis means doctors have found that your heart has these specific protein deposits, making the walls of your heart thicker and causing heart failure.
Doctors will need to confirm your ATTR-CM diagnosis using specific tests. This could involve a biopsy (taking a small sample of heart tissue), or special scans of your heart, often combined with other blood or tissue tests. These tests help ensure that the heart problem is definitely caused by ATTR amyloid rather than something else.
There are two main types of ATTR-CM – wild-type and variant. The study is open to people with both types. About 15% of the people in the study are expected to have the variant type.
Könnte diese Studie für Sie geeignet sein?
Beantworten Sie diese kurzen Fragen, um zu sehen, ob Sie möglicherweise berechtigt sind. Dies ist nur ein Leitfaden – das Forschungsteam trifft die endgültige Entscheidung.
- Sind Sie 18 Jahre alt oder älter?
- Have you been diagnosed with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)?
- Have tests shown protein build-up in your heart causing thicker heart walls and heart failure?
- Are you willing to undergo specific heart scans and other diagnostic tests if needed?
Was beinhaltet die Teilnahme?
Information about what taking part involves is not fully detailed in the provided summary. However, in most clinical trials like this, you would typically have regular visits to a clinic or hospital. These visits would include check-ups, blood tests, and possibly heart scans to monitor your condition and how the study medicine is affecting you. You would take either the study medicine (Coramitug) or the placebo as instructed, alongside your usual heart medications. The total duration of your participation and how many visits are needed would be explained in detail by the study team before you decide to join.

Häufige Fragen
What is ATTR amyloidosis?
It's a condition where an unusual protein called transthyretin builds up in your heart, making it harder for your heart to work well.
What is Coramitug?
Coramitug is the name of the new medicine being tested in this study to see if it can help people with heart failure due to ATTR amyloidosis.
Was ist ein Placebo?
A placebo is a dummy treatment that looks exactly like the study medicine but doesn't contain any active ingredients. It helps researchers compare the real medicine's effects.
Will I still take my regular heart medicines?
Yes, everyone in the study will continue to receive their usual heart treatments as recommended by their doctor.
Was passiert, wenn ich die Studie verlassen möchte?
You are free to leave the study at any time, for any reason, and your decision will not affect your future medical care.
