Course Description

Transthyretin Amyloidosis Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a rare and progressive disease characterized by the misfolding of amyloid fibrils that aggregate and deposit locally in one specific area of the body or deposit systemically, affecting many tissues and organs. Although a rare disease, the estimated prevalence in the United States (U.S.) is 120,000 and growing as we better understand its clinical presentation and appropriate diagnostic methods. However, in the U.S. and notably in the state of California, significant diagnostic gaps are evident among Black and Hispanic/Latinx communities with ATTR-CM.

As experts in all aspects of drug therapy, managed care pharmacists play a pivotal role in shaping patient outcomes, access to treatments, and drug utilization by leveraging evidence-based recommendations to design and implement pharmacy and drug-related medical benefits. This is especially necessary for rare diseases, like ATTR-CM, to optimize clinical and quality programs that meet patient care needs while simultaneously managing the economic burden and complexities of the health care system.

This session will dive into the key data at the national level and in the state of California from clinical trials for novel ATTR-CM treatments, the complexities of health disparities that affect this disease and key managed care considerations.
