Post hoc analysis of ATTR-ACT and LTE study' Patients taking continuous VYNDAQEL 80 mg/61 mg* showed a clinically significant improvement in survival at 5 years compared to those first treated with placebo1†‡Time to all-cause mortality in ATTR-ACT and LTE1​​​​​​​
53% preliminary 5-year survival rate in patients taking continuous VYNDAQEL (tafamidis meglumine) 80 mg to VYNDAQEL (tafamidis) 61 mg 
vs 32% in patients who first received placebo (p<0.001)1 
LTE study design A single VYNDAQEL 61-mg capsule corresponds to VYNDAQEL 80 mg (four 20-mg capsules) and is not interchangeable on a per-mg basis.2,3Upon completion of ATTR-ACT, patients could enroll in the ongoing LTE post hoc analysis for up to 60 months. In the LTE study, patients treated with VYNDAQEL 80 mg in ATTR-ACT continued with VYNDAQEL 80 mg, then transitioned to VYNDAQEL 61 mg and were compared with those treated with placebo in ATTR-ACT, who were randomized to VYNDAQEL 80 mg or VYNDAQEL 20 mg (2:1), then transitioned to VYNDAQEL 61 mg. Median LTE follow-up was 58.5 months in the continuous 80 mg to 61 mg VYNDAQEL group and 57.1 months in the placebo to 80 mg/20 mg to 61 mg group. For both groups, time zero for survival analyses was the time of enrollment in ATTR-ACT.1The primary efficacy outcome in the LTE study was all-cause mortality, with heart transplant and implantation of a cardiac mechanical assist device treated as death. Differential all-cause mortality in the 2 groups was assessed by Cox proportional hazards model with treatment, genotype, and NYHA baseline classification in the model.1ATTR-ACT=Tafamidis in Transthyretin Cardiomyopathy Clinical Trial; ATTR-CM=transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy; Cl=confidence interval; HR=hazard ratio; LTE=long-term extension.
