The Effect Of Tafamidis Meglumine In Transthyretin Amyloid Polyneuropathy Patients

NIS-LL: assess muscle weakness, reflexes, sensation; scored separately for left and right limbs. Components of muscle weakness (hip and knee flexion, hip and knee extension, ankle dorsiflexors, ankle plantar flexors, toe extensors, toe flexors) scored on scale 0 (normal) to 4 (paralysis), higher score=greater weakness. Components of reflexes (quadriceps femoris, triceps surae); sensation (touch pressure, pin-prick, vibration, joint position) scored 0 = normal, 1 = decreased, or 2 = absent. Total possible NIS-LL score range 0-88, high score = more impairment. Components of muscle weakness are scored to eight levels: 0 = Normal, 1 = 25% Weak, 2 = 50% Weak, 3 = 75% Weak, 3.25 = Move against gravity, 3.5 = Movement, gravity eliminated, 3.75 = Muscle flicker, no movement, 4 = Paralysis.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 72

Population: All participants who took at least 1 dose of tafamidis meglumine soft gelatin capsule 20 mg.

Norfolk QOL-DN: 35-item participant-rated questionnaire assess the impact of neuropathy on the quality of life of participants diagnosed with transthyretin amyloid (ATTR). It is summarized in 5 domains: (1) Activities of daily living (score ranges from 0 to 20, where higher score=worse quality of life); (2) Large fiber neuropathy/physical functioning (score ranges from -2 to 58, where higher score=worse condition); (3) Small fiber neuropathy (score ranges from 0 to 16, where higher score=worse condition); (4) Autonomic neuropathy (score ranges from 0 to 12, where higher score=worse condition) and (5) Symptoms (score ranges from 0 to 32, where higher score=less symptoms of disease). Total possible score range= -2 to 138, where higher score=worse quality of life.

EQ-5D-5L: standardized participant (aged \>17 years) completed questionnaire consists of 2 components: a health state profile and an optional VAS. EQ-5D health state profile has 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1= no problems, 2= slight problems, 3= moderate problems, 4= severe problems, and 5= extreme problems. Responses to 5 dimensions comprise a health state/a single utility index value. E.g. if a participant responds no problems for each 5 dimensions, then health state was coded as 11111 with a predefined index value to it. Every health state (coded as combination of responses on each of 5 dimensions) has a unique predefined utility index value assigned to it, by EuroQol. Chinese value sets (with all possible health states) is used for adults in the study, range from -0.391 to 1. Higher (positive) scores = better health state.

BMI is calculated by weight divided by height squared and measured as kilogram per square meter (kg/m\^2). mBMI is calculated by multiplying BMI by serum albumin levels \[gram/liter (g/L)\]. mBMI is measured as kg/m\^2\*g/L. A progressive decline in mBMI indicates worsening of disease severity.

The SF-36 is a participant administered scale assessing general quality of life. It consists of self-administered 36-item questionnaire that measured 8 health domains: physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health. These 8 domains are also summarized as physical and mental component scores. The score for each domain and component score is the mean of the individual question scores, which are scaled from 0 (minimum) to 100 (maximum), where high scores in each dimension and high overall scores indicate a better quality of life.

Norfolk QOL-DN: 35-item participant-rated questionnaire assess the impact of neuropathy on the quality of life of participants diagnosed with transthyretin amyloid (ATTR). Scoring is based on 35 questions that yield a TQOL as well as 5 subscale scores: activities of daily living, large fiber neuropathy/physical functioning, small fiber neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and symptoms. TQOL= sum of all the items, total possible score range= -2 to 138, where higher score=worse quality of life.

The Fraction of Initial (FOI) is the ratio of the measured TTR tetramer concentration (post-denaturation) to the measured TTR concentration (pre-denaturation). Percent Stabilization (%) is the difference between the dosed FOI and the baseline FOI expressed as a percentage of the baseline FOI. Responder was the participant who achieved TTR stabilization (ie, who had been TTR stabilized). Percentage of responders was number of responders / number of evaluable (i.e., analyzed) participants.
