BridgeBio's Acoramidis Gains FDA Approval, Sparking Intense Market Competition with Pfizer and Alnylam
BridgeBio has successfully secured FDA approval for acoramidis, branded as Attruby, for the treatment of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). This approval is a significant milestone for the company, showcasing their drug's robust Phase III trial results, which demonstrated a reduction in mortality and hospitalizations for patients[1][2]. The introduction of Attruby into the market sets the stage for intense competition with established treatments like Pfizer's tafamidis, as well as emerging drugs such as Alnylam's vutrisiran. Despite the competition, analysts highlight Attruby's potential appeal due to its distinct stabilization of transthyretin and the promise of positively impacting patients who have not responded to current therapies[1][2].
