Wild-type ATTR Amyloidosis (ATTRwt): What meds help you?

I have ATTR (Wild) and have been treated with Vyndamax for almost 2 years. NT Pro tests show the ATTR levels remain high. How does the new AMVUTTRA compare Vyndamax?? I, also, am really hopeful that CRISPR studies can rid the current deposits in the heart as I am very physically active and want to eliminate the concerns about impacts to heart function.

I have been on Attruby ( acaromadis ) since Febuary . Attruby was FDA appoved in November and has a better success rate than Vyndamax (tafamadis). Attruby stabilizes the misfolded proteins in the liver so they be flushed out of your system . I was accepted in the CRISPR-Cas9 trial and will be receiving my infusion this coming Tuesday. The Cas9 enzyme is a protein that acts like molecular scissors, targeting the misfolded proteins in the liver and cuts(edits) the DNA , thus correcting the faulty gene. The cells natural DNA repairs the cut strands. This is a one time infusion to stop the liver from creating the proteins and will be revolutionary in treating ATTR-CM.
Amvuttra is a quarterly injection designed to reduce the amount of misfolded proteins created in the liver. It DOES NOT eliminate the production of the misfolded proteins. As a result I chose to patricipate in the clinical trial . Best of Luck
