Uses / Indications

  • Onpattro is indicated for the treatment of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) in patients with polyneuropathy. This rare genetic disorder causes mutant transthyretin protein to misfold and accumulate in peripheral nerves, leading to progressive neurological dysfunction. Onpattro works through RNA interference (RNAi) technology, silencing the TTR gene and reducing transthyretin protein production in the liver by approximately 80%. This mechanism halts disease progression and can improve neuropathic symptoms. The drug is administered as an intravenous infusion every three weeks. Patients typically include adults with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy, though it may benefit earlier-stage patients. The drug addresses an unmet medical need in this orphan population, as hereditary ATTR amyloidosis previously had limited disease-modifying treatment options.

Side Effects

  • Common side effects of Onpattro include infusion-related reactions such as flushing, back pain, and chest discomfort, which typically occur during or shortly after administration. Other reported adverse events include arthralgia, dyspnea, and transient liver enzyme elevations. Serious adverse events are rare but may include severe infusion reactions and hepatotoxicity. Patients require regular monitoring including liver function tests, platelet counts, and renal function before each infusion. Premedication with corticosteroids and antihistamines is recommended to minimize infusion-related reactions. Vitamin A supplementation is required as TTR reduction may lower vitamin A transport.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Onpattro is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to patisiran or any excipients. Caution is warranted in patients with severe hepatic impairment or thrombocytopenia. Pregnancy category is not established; women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception. Limited pediatric data exists; use in children requires careful consideration. Patients with renal impairment may require dose adjustments or additional monitoring. Those with cardiac amyloidosis should be monitored closely. Vitamin A supplementation is mandatory to prevent deficiency. Patients should avoid live vaccines during treatment. Infusion reactions require appropriate management protocols and medical supervision.

Avoid Interactions

  • No major drug-drug interactions have been formally documented with Onpattro. However, caution is advised when combining with other hepatotoxic agents due to potential liver enzyme elevation. Vitamin A supplementation is required and should not exceed recommended doses to avoid toxicity. NSAIDs and anticoagulants may require monitoring in patients with thrombocytopenia. Patients should inform healthcare providers of all medications, supplements, and herbal products. Alcohol consumption should be minimized given hepatic considerations.
