WAINUA (eplontersen sodium)
Amyloidosis agents that suppress transthyretin comprise a therapeutic category of targeted genetic therapies, specifically small interfering RNAs and antisense oligonucleotides, designed to reduce the hepatic synthesis of the transthyretin protein.
By binding to transthyretin messenger RNA and promoting its degradation, these agents substantially lower circulating levels of both mutant and wild-type protein, thereby preventing the formation and systemic deposition of pathogenic amyloid fibrils.
Clinically, this drug class is indicated for managing transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis, predominantly treating hereditary transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy and transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.
