amelioration of transthyretin-related hereditary amyloidosis (also familial
amyloid polyneuropathy, or FAP), a rare but deadly neurodegenerative disease.
The drug was approved by the European Medicines Agency in November 2011 and by
the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in September 2013.
Tafamidis functions by kinetic stabilization of the correctly folded tetrameric
form of the transthyretin (TTR) protein. In patients with FAP, this protein
dissociates in a process that is rate limiting for aggregation including amyloid
fibril formation, causing failure of the autonomic nervous system and/or the
peripheral nervous system (neurodegeneration) initially and later failure of the
heart.
