Study design details

Main study objective

1) To estimate the number of alive patients diagnosed with TTR-related amyloidosis (hereditary and senile) in France on 1st June 2017, globally, by stage of the disease, and type of mutation if applicable 2) To evaluate, in a real-life setting, modalities of tafamidis use, its safety and effectiveness profile for patients who have received tafamidis in France whether or not they are still alive

Outcomes

- Estimation of all cases of TTR-related amyloidosis (hereditary and senile) patients (census population) : defined in the study as the total number of patients with TTR-related amyloidosis, alive on 1st June 2017 and diagnosed in participating centers providing care for TTR-related amyloidosis. - Description of modalities of tafamidis use, and its safety and effectiveness profile, - Description of the patient's family potentially carrying a pathogenic TTR mutation (census population except for senile amyloidosis) - Time between first symptom(s) and diagnosis - Estimation of the number of patients with pathogenic TTR mutations

Data analysis plan

Statistical analyses will be explorative and descriptive nature. The analysis will be conducted using SAS (version 9.4 or higher, SAS Institute, North Carolina USA). All CRF parameters and evaluation criteria will be summarized using descriptive statistics: −Sample size, mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, Q1, Q3, maximum, 95% CI and number of missing data for continuous variables, −Frequency and percentage for each category, 95% CI and number of missing data for discrete variables.
