1. What is Amvuttra and what is it used for

The active ingredient of Amvuttra is vutrisirán.

What Amvuttra is used for

Amvuttra is used for the treatment of a disease called “ATTR hereditary” or “amiloidosis ATTRh”. It is a hereditary disease. Amiloidosis ATTRh is caused by problems with a protein in the body called “transtiretina” (TTR). This protein is formed mainly in the liver and transports vitamin A and other substances throughout the body.

In people with this disease, small fibers of the TTR protein aggregate to form deposits called “amyloid”. Amyloid can accumulate around nerves, the heart, and other parts of the body or inside them and prevent them from functioning normally. This causes the symptoms of the disease.

How Amvuttra works

Amvuttra works by reducing the amount of TTR protein produced by the liver, which means there is less TTR protein in the blood that can form amyloid. This may help reduce the effects of this disease.

Amvuttra is only used in adults.

2. What you need to know before using Amvuttra

No use Amvuttra

  • if you have ever had a severe allergic reaction to vutrisirán or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

If you are unsure, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using this medication.

Warnings and precautions

Reduced levels of vitamin A in the blood and vitamin supplements

Amvuttra reduces the amount of vitamin A in the blood.

Your doctor will ask you to take a vitamin A supplement daily. Take the recommended dose of vitamin A as advised by your doctor.

The signs of low vitamin A levels may include: vision problems, especially at night, dry eyes, or blurred vision.

  • If you notice any change in your vision or any other eye problem while using Amvuttra, consult your doctor. Your doctor may refer you to an ophthalmologist for a review.

Very high or very low levels of vitamin A may harm the fetus. Therefore, pregnancy should be excluded in women of childbearing age before starting treatment with Amvuttra and effective contraceptive methods should be used (see the section “Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception” below).

  • Vitamin A levels may remain low for more than 12 months after the last dose of Amvuttra.
  • Inform your doctor if you plan to become pregnant. Your doctor will advise you to stop taking Amvuttra and the vitamin A supplement. Your doctor will also ensure that your vitamin A levels have returned to normal before attempting to become pregnant.
  • Inform your doctor in case of an unplanned pregnancy. Your doctor will advise you to stop taking Amvuttra. During the first 3 months of pregnancy, your doctor may advise you to stop taking the vitamin A supplement. During the last 6 months of pregnancy, your doctor may advise you to resume the vitamin A supplement if your vitamin A levels in the blood have not yet returned to normal, due to a higher risk of deficiency of this vitamin during the last 3 months of pregnancy.

Children and adolescents

Amvuttra is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Other medications and Amvuttra

Inform your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and contraception

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Pregnancy

Do not use Amvuttra if you are pregnant.

Women of childbearing age

Amvuttra will reduce the level of vitamin A in your blood, which is important for the normal development of the fetus (see “Warnings and precautions” above).

  • If you are a woman who may become pregnant, you should use an effective contraceptive method during treatment with Amvuttra.
  • Consult your doctor or nurse about suitable contraceptive methods.
  • Pregnancy should be excluded before starting treatment with Amvuttra.
  • Inform your doctor if you intend to become pregnant or in case of an unplanned pregnancy. Your doctor will advise you to stop taking Amvuttra.

Breastfeeding

The passage of vutrisirán into breast milk is unknown. Your doctor will weigh the potential benefits of treatment for you against the risks to the baby.

Driving and operating machinery

It is believed that the influence of Amvuttra on the ability to drive or operate machinery is negligible or insignificant. Your doctor will tell you if your condition allows you to drive vehicles and use machinery safely.

Amvuttra contains sodium

This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per ml; this is essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to Use Amvuttra

Amvuttra can be self-administered or administered by a caregiver or a healthcare professional.

Your doctor or healthcare professional will show you and/or your caregiver how to prepare and inject a dose of Amvuttra before you do it yourself.

Using More Amvuttra Than You Should

In the unlikely event that you use too much (an overdose), contact your doctor or pharmacist, even if you do not have symptoms. Your doctor will check for any adverse effects.
