Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: • Established diagnosis of ATTRv or ATTRwt amyloidosis verified by either: 1. Tissue biopsy with ATTR amyloid deposits OR 2. DPD scintigraphy with Perugini scale grade II or III cardiac uptake and absence of monoclonal bands in serum and urine electrophoresis and normal free light chain assay ruling out AL amyloidosis. • Clinical diagnosis of HF according to ESC criteria for diagnosing HF with symptoms of heart failure and a left ventricular ejection fraction of 12 mm • DPD scintigraphy uptake in the myocardium Perugini scale grade II or III • Optimal treated and stable HF and ATTR amyloidosis for at least four weeks, according to the treating physician. • Genetic testing is performed on all patients to determine diagnosis of ATTRwt or ATTRv • Age = 18 • TTE performed withing 12 months of screening visit. • Women of Childbearing Capacity (WOCBC) must comply to use of highly effective contraception methods during the trial. Acceptable methods according to CTFG guidelines are combined hormonal contraception (oral, dermal, intravaginal), progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable), an intrauterine device, an intrauterine hormone-releasing system or by refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 2 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 8

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objective: Assess impact of dapagliflozin on NT-proBNP levels in patients with optimally treated cardiac ATTR amyloidosis ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are: • determine whether dapagliflozin reduces patient-reported HF symptoms in patients with optimally treated cardiac ATTR amyloidosis. • assess whether dapagliflozin improves walking distance at 6MWT in patients with cardiac ATTR amyloidosis ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is change in level or slope of NTproBNP during the treatment period compared to the non-treatment periods.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At every study visit

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire total symptom score during the treatment period compared to the non-treatment period • Change in 6-minute walking distance during the treatment period compared to the non-treatment period • Safety endpoints: -Blood pressure -Diuretic intake -Any patient-reported side effect during treatment period with dapagliflozin . ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: KCCQ - 3 times per period 6 MWT - 3 times per period
