Hereditary Amyloidosis, Transthyretin-RelatedNCT06360289
Observational Study of Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) as a Biomarker in Asymptomatic Carriers of the Transthyretin (TTR) Variants and Patients With Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) Amyloidosis With Polyneuropathy
An observational study of Hereditary Amyloidosis, Transthyretin-Related and Asymptomatic Carrier State, run by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
This is a single-center observational study evaluating the potential value of NfL as a biomarker for diagnosis, detection of disease onset, monitoring of disease progression, and treatment response in asymptomatic carriers of TTR variants and symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy.

Study population: Study will include asymptomatic carriers of TTR variants or symptomatic patients with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy who review and confirm their understanding of the Patient Information Sheet (PIS) provided and do not oppose participating in the study at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) Le Kremlin-Bicêtre Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP).
Who may be able to join
- Carrier of a documented pathogenic TTR variant confirmed with genotyping with predicted disease onset within 5 years and not diagnosed with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy

About this study
Official title: Observational Study of Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) Levels in Asymptomatic Carriers of the TTR Gene Variants and Patients With hATTR Amyloidosis With Polyneuropathy, Including Patients Who Undergo Treatment Change - NeuroFeeL Study
This is a single-center observational study evaluating the potential value of NfL as a biomarker for diagnosis, detection of disease onset, monitoring of disease progression, and treatment response in asymptomatic carriers of TTR variants and symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis patients with polyneuropathy.
Read the detailed description
In this study, participants' data will be extracted from their medical records or collected based on clinical and laboratory assessments during routine visits, per the site's standard of care. Blood samples collected from the participants during routine visits will also be used for analysis. The study will be conducted in two parts: Cross-Sectional part during which a single measurement of NfL levels will be performed using blood samples collected from asymptomatic carriers, and symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis patients; Longitudinal part during which measurements of NfL levels will be performed over time using blood samples (already collected from the participants during routine visits) from asymptomatic carriers and patients with symptomatic hATTR amyloidosis.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Asymptomatic Carriers | Participants who are asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenic TTR variant, and not diagnosed with hATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy will be enrolled in this cohort. Receives: Other: Standard of Care | |
