AI-written from the registry record, not the study's own wording. May contain errors or omissions. Check the registry text on this page and the original record ↗ before acting on it.
This prospective observational study follows adults (18+) with pathogenic TTR gene variants, including symptomatic people and asymptomatic carriers. Over about 3 years participants receive detailed clinical evaluations, diagnostic tests (for heart and nerve function), questionnaires, and genetic testing (noted as sponsored by pharmaceutical companies). The study aims to describe different clinical phenotypes and factors linked to disease onset and progression.
What it is studying. The study is testing how hereditary transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis presents across people (cardiac, neurological, or mixed patterns), which clinical features and measurements change over time, and what minimum signs define disease onset. It collects clinical exams, genetic data, cardiac and neurologic tests, functional tests, laboratory measures, and patient questionnaires over a planned follow-up.
What the researchers hope to learn. To classify patient phenotypes (predominantly cardiac, predominantly neurological, or mixed), measure changes in cardiac and neurological function and disability over 3 years, and identify factors and minimum criteria associated with disease onset and progression.
What this study is about
The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.
The Comprehensive Program for Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis describes a prospective observational study focused on understanding hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), a progressive and potentially fatal condition marked by amyloid fibril deposits impacting multiple organs. The trial aims to characterize patient phenotypes, investigate factors affecting disease progression, and identify minimum criteria for disease onset. Conducted at Néstor Kirchner Hospital, the trial enrolls participants over 18 years old with confirmed pathogenic TTR variants. It includes thorough evaluations such as genetic testing sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, clinical assessments, and diverse diagnostic tests.

Participants will undergo a comprehensive initial evaluation and repeated follow-up visits over up to 3 years. Visits include medical history and full physical exam, vital signs, neurological exam (motor, sensory, reflexes, gait), heart testing (12-lead ECG at rest; 24-hour Holter monitoring if arrhythmia is suspected), echocardiography, blood and urine tests (for markers such as Pro-BNP, troponin T, microalbumin), a 6-minute walk test, and questionnaires and neuropathy/quality-of-life scales. Genetic testing is part of the evaluations as described in the record. Some tests (for example Holter monitoring) are done only when clinically indicated.
How the study is structured. A prospective observational cohort: no treatments are assigned. Participants are followed for about 3 years with repeated clinical assessments and diagnostic tests (for example, heart and nerve exams, ECG/Holter monitoring, functional tests, lab measures, and questionnaires). Genetic testing is included and noted as sponsored by pharmaceutical companies.
Questions you could ask
These questions are suggestions for a conversation with the study team or your own clinician, not advice.
- The registry lists this study under Amyloidosis in Transthyretin (TTR); Amyloidosis, Familial. Does it apply to my diagnosis?
- This is an observational study, so the study itself gives no treatment. What would taking part involve for me, and would it change my usual care?
- The listed sites are in Argentina. Is any of them reachable for me, and does the study help with travel?
- Which of the eligibility criteria would need to be checked with tests before I could join?
