With ATTR-CM, there’s no time like the present to consider your future. How will you choose to start your journey.

AMVUTTRA treats the cardiomyopathy of ATTR amyloidosis in adults.

It was proven to help people with ATTR-CM live longer and have fewer heart-related hospital visits over 3 years, compared to placebo.

AMVUTTRA is the first and only silencer for ATTR-CM.

It reduces TTR at the source and requires just 4 injections a year.

So you can focus on the journey ahead.

AMVUTTRA lowers the amount of vitamin A in your blood which can affect vision. Other side effects include pain in the arms or legs, pain in the joints, and shortness of breath.

Now’s the time to think about your future with ATTR-CM. Take the next step and talk to your doctor about AMVUTTRA. Just the ticket for ATTR-CM.

I've known about this disease for 50 years because my grandfather and my father both died from it.

Tim:
When it first dawned on me that something was odd, I was walking on level ground and having to stop and hold on to a telephone pole to catch my breath. It didn't make any sense.

Art:
In the back of my mind I was hoping I didn't have ATTR, but one day I had a shortness of breath episode where it dropped me to my knee and I thought I was having a heart attack. I said to the cardiologist, so tell me, doc, do I have it? And he said, yes, you have it. It was a real jolt to my system and uh it was very difficult to hear.

Tim:
The first question I had for my doctor was, “What is this going to do to my lifespan?”

Art:
I didn't know how long I had to live, and I was not going to waste a day, so I just kept doing more and more research.

Tim:
I remember the cardiologist saying, “There's some drugs out on the market. We're very optimistic about them.”

Art:
You have to trust your doctor. You have to have full confidence in your doctor. You have to have a team, and you have to trust in your team.

Tim:
Finding the right doctor is paramount. I follow their instructions. They answer my questions. It's a good relationship.

Art:
You have to be your own advocate. If you have a concern or a question and somebody doesn't answer, don't stop. Keep going. Find somebody that will give you the answers that you need.

Tim:
It’s vital to have a strong medical team. That’s one thing that you can take out of the equation. You don’t have to sweat that. You can focus on other things. Staying active. Getting exercise. Eating well.

Art:
I'm probably not a real good patient because I do too much research, so I go in with what I think is a lot of knowledge, but my doctor’s really receptive. He understands that I'm just trying to live my life, and he's trying to make that happen.

A guide to receiving AMVUTTRA

Please view the entire video for Important Safety Information and visit amvuttra.com for the full Prescribing Information, or scan the QR code at the end of the video.

Patient 1:

If you’re getting ready to receive AMVUTTRA, you want to feel prepared. I’m here to walk you through some basic information.

AMVUTTRA is a prescription medicine that is given as an injection once every 3 months by a healthcare provider.

That’s only 4 times a year. You and your doctor will decide where is most convenient to receive your treatment.

I visit my doctor’s office, but some people go to a nearby clinic. It can vary based on your doctor or insurance. If your insurance covers it, you may even be able to receive AMVUTTRA at home from a mobile healthcare provider.

If you’re like me, you may worry about getting an injection. Here’s what to expect.

AMVUTTRA comes as a prefilled syringe. It’s given by a healthcare provider so you can feel confident you’re getting the full dose.

AMVUTTRA is given as an injection with a short needle, in the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen. I usually get mine in my arm.

After cleaning the area, the healthcare provider will pinch your skin. Next, they’ll give you AMVUTTRA subcutaneously, which means just under the skin.

The administration process will only take a few minutes. It’s a good idea to set up your next appointment before you leave.

If you’re receiving AMVUTTRA at home, there are a few more things you need to know.

Patient 2:

Let’s talk about at-home administration by a healthcare provider. My insurance covers it, but it’s not an option for everyone.

If you’re eligible to receive AMVUTTRA at home, the specialty pharmacy will call to set up your appointment. Now, before your appointment, the specialty pharmacy will deliver AMVUTTRA. You may need to sign for the package, so make sure someone is home.

Your first shipment of AMVUTTRA will include a welcome packet and supplies for your appointment. Don’t open the medicine carton or syringe.

AMVUTTRA can be stored in the fridge or at room temperature. If you keep yours in the fridge like me, make sure you have a dedicated space for it. And don’t freeze it.

On the day of your appointment, take AMVUTTRA out of the fridge 30 minutes before the nurse arrives. That way it can reach room temperature. Then prepare a space to receive your injection.

You’ll need a clean surface and a comfortable seat. Now, once the nurse shows up, they’ll clean the injection site, pinch your skin, and use the short needle to give you AMVUTTRA subcutaneously. That means just under the skin.

The administration process will only take a few minutes. And before the nurse leaves, it’s a good idea to confirm your next appointment.

Announcer:

AMVUTTRA may cause reactions at the injection site such as bruising, redness, pain, itching, and warmth.

Tim:
I go to a medical facility every three months to get my injection.

Ed:
Once every three months works, doesn't it?

Penny:
Yeah. We can plan around it.

Ed:
It gives us freedom to do what we want to do.

Kelly:
I know when I'm getting these injections, I can schedule around it, not pause my life for the treatment that I need.

Ed:
We try to make a day of it. Either lunch or visiting family or friends.

Tim:
The guesswork is taken out of it. They call me. “Hey, dude. It's time. Time to come back in.”

Art:
It's on my phone. It’s on my calendar. It’s not something I forget. In all the years, I've never missed or forgot an appointment.

Scott:
My ritual, every single time is I get in the car. I put on the music very, very loud. I sit there for a minute after I'm parked, and then I walk in.

Kelly:
The nurse comes in and asks me questions about my health and how I've been feeling.

Tim:
They're on their game, they know what they're doing. You come in and you sit down.

Scott:
And then they ask where I would like it. They always give me the option of my abdomen, my thigh, or the back of my arm.

Tim:
It’s subcutaneous, and that’s ok with me.

Ed:
I scheduled my next appointment three months later, and we're off and running.

Kelly:
Honestly, it takes an hour out of my day and that includes the time to get there, parking and everything else.

Tim:
I really appreciate that the injection is given by a health care provider.

Kelly:
That way I know I'm getting the proper dose.

Penny:
And it’s getting put in the correct area. I know that's important.

Art:
My doctor told me the most common side effects are pain in the arms and legs, pain in the joints, shortness of breath, and low vitamin A levels.

Kelly:
So my doctor explained to me that those low vitamin A levels can affect your vision. So I take a vitamin A supplement every day.

Scott:
It might be one of the only times that after I got an injection, I walked down the hall, and I called my wife and I said,” I can't tell you how happy I am.” Happy to be given something that I truly believed would make a difference.

Scott:
It took me easily a month to really understand the severity of the disease.

Tim:
There is no getting around the diagnosis. I’m gonna hold on to what I’m doing as much as I can for as long as I can.

Scott:
When my doctor said your ATTR is going to be a journey for the rest of your life. The good news is, for the first time in a very long time, I can look you in the eyes and tell you there's no cure, but we have treatment options.

Tim:
I first heard about AMVUTTRA doing my own research.

My cardiologist told me that our goal was to slow the progression of the disease.

Scott:
I was all in.

Tim:
I was completely on board.

Scott:
When I got that first dose, I felt relief. I knew that by getting AMVUTTRA, I was doing something proactive to fight my disease.

Tim:
My doctor explained that the most common side effects are pain in the arms or legs. Pain in the joints. Shortness of breath and low vitamin A levels.

Scott:
Because low vitamin A levels can affect vision,
my doctor also has me take a daily vitamin A supplement.

Tim:
I have a social circle of buddies. We hike. We get together. It's definitely slower with more rest stops. I still experience shortness of breath. Stamina continues to be an issue, but we're still out there.

Scott:
When I was diagnosed, I really thought I was going to have to stop walking. But I can walk. And I love walking. I listen to really loud rock music. That's what makes me happy.
So being able to continue that was very important to me. I know ATTR is progressive. Whenever I have a new symptom or a symptom gets worse, I talk to my doctor.

Tim:
I've taken all the steps I can to put the odds in my favor.
My ten-year-old grandson doesn't live near me, and I want him to know me, and I want to know him. I'm quietly confident that this is the right path to be on, to watch my grandson grow up.

Scott:
I have this disease, okay. I don't feel bad about it. I just keep going. I'm unbelievably grateful that I could actually go on walks. I can go out to dinner with my wife. I can plan things. And being on AMVUTTRA enables me to be able to do that.
