The purpose of this study is to determine whether an investigational drug called NNC6019-0001 can be used to treat people with transthyretin (TTR) amyloid cardiomyopathy, a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis. Participants will undergo tests to check their heart (electrocardiograms, echocardiograms and magnetic resonance imaging), in addition to submitting blood samples and performing walking tests. Patients will also complete questionnaires about quality of life and health status.
People with a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis have changes in a specific protein circulating in the blood, called transthyretin. This changed protein can be detrimental, as it may increase the risk of heart failure or other complications. In previous studies of NNC6019-0001, a reduction in transthyretin was observed. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive NNC6019-0001 or placebo. (They will have a 2:1 chance of getting the study drug.)
The information collected may also help researchers better understand heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis or related diseases; how the study drug works in the body; and how to improve the treatment of people with a heart disease due to TTR amyloidosis or related diseases.
