Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inotersen given for 65 weeks in participants with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP).
Detailed Description
FAP is a rare, hereditary disease caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) protein. TTR is made by the liver and secreted into the blood. TTR mutations cause it to misfold and deposit in multiple organs causing FAP. Inotersen (also known as ISIS 420915) is an antisense drug that was designed to decrease the amount of mutant and normal TTR made by the liver. It is predicted that decreasing the amount of TTR protein would result in a decrease in the formation of TTR deposits, and thus slow or stop disease progression. The purpose of this study is to determine if inotersen can slow or stop the nerve damage caused by TTR deposits. This study will enroll late Stage 1 and early Stage 2 FAP participants. Participants will receive either inotersen or placebo for 65 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline In The Modified Neuropathy Impairment Score (mNIS) +7 Composite Score at Week 66
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 66
The mNIS+7 composite score is a measure of neurologic impairment that evaluates muscle weakness, sensation, reflexes, nerve conduction, and autonomic function. The mNIS+7 Composite Score has a range of -22.32 to 346.32 and a higher mNIS+7 composite score indicates lower function.
Change From Baseline In The Norfolk Quality Of Life Diabetic Neuropathy (QoL-DN) Questionnaire at Week 66
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 66
The Norfolk QoL-DN score is a measure of physical function/large fiber neuropathy, symptoms, activities of daily living, small fiber neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. The Norfolk QoL-DN total score has a range of -4 to 136, and a higher Norfolk QoL-DN score indicates poorer QoL.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline In The Norfolk QoL-DN Questionnaire Symptoms Domain Score at Week 66(Baseline and Week 66)
