⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Reduced serum vitamin A levels and recommended supplementation: Supplement with the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A. Refer to an ophthalmologist if ocular symptoms suggestive of vitamin A deficiency occur. ( 5.1 )
5.1Reduced Serum Vitamin A Levels and Recommended Supplementation AMVUTTRA treatment leads to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . Supplementation at the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A is advised for patients taking AMVUTTRA. Higher doses than the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A should not be given to try to achieve normal serum vitamin A levels during treatment with AMVUTTRA, as serum vitamin A levels do not reflect the total vitamin A in the body.
Patients should be referred to an ophthalmologist if they develop ocular symptoms suggestive of vitamin A deficiency (e.g., night blindness).
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: Reduced Serum Vitamin A Levels and Recommended Supplementation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) were pain in extremity, arthralgia, dyspnea, and vitamin A decreased. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Alnylam Pharmaceuticals at 1-877-256-9526 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of AMVUTTRA cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Two Phase 3 randomized, multi-center studies evaluated the safety of AMVUTTRA in 448 transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR) patients, including 122 patients with hATTR-PN (HELIOS-A) and 326 patients with ATTR-CM (HELIOS-B) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
In both studies, patients were instructed to take the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Polyneuropathy of Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis In HELIOS-A, 118 patients received at least 18 months of treatment. The mean duration of treatment was 18.8 months (range: 1.7 to 19.4 months).
The median patient age at baseline was 60 years and 65% of the patients were male. Seventy percent of AMVUTTRA-treated patients were Caucasian, 17% were Asian, 3% were Black, and 9% were reported as Other. Forty-four percent of patients had the Val30Met mutation in the transthyretin gene; the remaining patients had one of 21 other mutations.
At baseline, 70% of patients were in Stage 1 of the disease and 30% were in Stage 2. The most common adverse reactions (at least 5%) were pain in extremity, arthralgia, dyspnea, and vitamin A decreased (see Table 1 ) . Seventy-four percent of patients treated with AMVUTTRA had normal vitamin A levels at baseline, and 98% of those with a normal baseline developed low vitamin A levels.
In some cases, the decreased vitamin A level was reported as an adverse reaction (see Table 1 ) . Table 1: Adverse Reactions Reported in at least 5% of Patients Treated with AMVUTTRA in HELIOS-A Adverse Reaction AMVUTTRA N=122 % Pain in extremity 15 Arthralgia Comprised of several similar terms 11 Dyspnea 7 Vitamin A decreased Percentage only reflects those reported as an adverse reaction 7 In HELIOS-A, two serious adverse reactions of atrioventricular (AV) heart block (1.6%) occurred in patients treated with AMVUTTRA, including one case of complete AV block.
Injection site reactions were reported in 5 (4%) patients treated with AMVUTTRA. Reported symptoms included bruising, erythema, pain, pruritus, and warmth. Injection site reactions were mild and transient.
Cardiomyopathy of Wild-type or Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis In HELIOS-B, safety was evaluated in 654 patients with ATTR-CM, which included 257 patients treated with AMVUTTRA for ≥30 months, and 77 patients treated with AMVUTTRA for ≥36 months [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . No new safety issues were identified. Eighty-two percent of patients treated with AMVUTTRA had normal vitamin A levels at baseline, and 80% of those with a normal baseline developed low vitamin A levels.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on AMVUTTRA use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of adverse developmental outcomes. AMVUTTRA treatment leads to a decrease in serum vitamin A levels, and vitamin A supplementation is advised for patients taking AMVUTTRA. Vitamin A is essential for normal embryofetal development; however, excessive levels of vitamin A are associated with adverse developmental effects.
The effects on the fetus of a reduction in maternal serum TTR caused by AMVUTTRA and of vitamin A supplementation are unknown [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . In animal studies, subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran to pregnant rats resulted in developmental toxicity (reduced fetal body weight and embryofetal mortality) at doses associated with maternal toxicity (see Data ) . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively.
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Data Animal Data Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryofetal mortality at the high dose and reduced fetal body weight at the mid and high doses, which were associated with maternal toxicity. Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rabbits resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development.
Subcutaneous administration of vutrisiran (0, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg) to pregnant rats every 6 days throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in no adverse developmental effects on the offspring.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information regarding the presence of vutrisiran in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for AMVUTTRA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from AMVUTTRA or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use No dose adjustment is required in patients ≥65 years of age [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . In HELIOS-A, a total of 46 (38%) patients ≥65 years of age, including 7 (6%) patients ≥75 years of age, received AMVUTTRA In HELIOS-B, a total of 299 (92%) patients ≥65 years old, including 203 (62%) ≥75 years old, received AMVUTTRA. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients.
8.6Renal Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥30 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ) [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . AMVUTTRA has not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease.
8.7Hepatic Impairment No dose adjustment is recommended in patients with mild (total bilirubin ≤1 × ULN and AST >1 × ULN, or total bilirubin >1.0 to 1.5 × ULN and any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin >1.5 to 3 × ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Vutrisiran is a double-stranded siRNA-GalNAc conjugate that causes degradation of mutant and wild-type TTR mRNA through RNA interference, which results in a reduction of serum TTR protein and TTR protein deposits in tissues.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamic effects of AMVUTTRA were evaluated in patients with hATTR-PN and ATTR-CM, treated with 25 mg AMVUTTRA administered by subcutaneous injection once every 3 months. Polyneuropathy of Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis In HELIOS-A [see Clinical Studies (14) ] , vutrisiran reduced mean serum TTR at steady state by 83%. Similar TTR reductions were observed regardless of Val30Met genotype status, weight, sex, age, or race.
Vutrisiran also reduced the mean steady state serum vitamin A by 62% over 9 months [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Cardiomyopathy of Wild-type (wt) or Hereditary Transthyretin-mediated Amyloidosis (hATTR) In HELIOS-B, the mean serum TTR reduction profile was similar with that observed in HELIOS-A, and consistent across the subgroups studied (age, sex, race, body weight, anti-drug antibody [ADA] status, ATTR disease type (wtATTR versus hATTR), NYHA class, and baseline tafamidis use). Vutrisiran reduced the mean steady state serum vitamin A by 65% over 36 months. [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .
Cardiac Biomarkers Biomarkers associated with heart failure (NT-proBNP and Troponin I) favored AMVUTTRA over placebo. Cardiac Electrophysiology At a dose 12 times the recommended dosage of 25 mg once every three months, AMVUTTRA does not prolong the QT interval to any clinically relevant extent.
12.3Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of AMVUTTRA were evaluated following a single dose in healthy subjects and multiple doses in patients with hATTR amyloidosis, as summarized in Table 2. Table 2: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Vutrisiran Vutrisiran AUC inf = area under the concentration-time curve from the time of dosing extrapolated to infinity; AUC last = area under the concentration-time curve from the time of dosing to the last measurable concentration; C max = maximum plasma concentration; CV = coefficient of variation; RSE = relative standard error; T max = time to maximum concentration; Vd/F = apparent volume of distribution General Information Dose Proportionality Vutrisiran C max showed dose proportional increase while AUC last and AUC inf were slightly more than dose proportional following single subcutaneous doses ranging from 5 to 300 mg (i.e., 0.2 to 12 times the recommended dose) Accumulation No accumulation of vutrisiran was observed in plasma after repeated every 3 months dosage After 25 mg every 3 months dosage in hATTR amyloidosis patients Absorption T max [Median (Range)] 4 (0.17, 12.0) hours After 25 mg single dose in healthy subjects Distribution Estimated Vd/F (%RSE) 10.1 (5.8) L Based on population PK model estimation Protein Binding 80% Vutrisiran plasma protein binding was concentration-dependent and decreased with increasing vutrisiran concentrations (from 78% at 0.5 mcg/mL to 19% at 50 mcg/mL) Organ Distribution Vutrisiran distributes primarily to the liver after subcutaneous dosing Elimination Half-Life [Median (Range)] 5.2 (2.2, 6.4) hours Apparent Clearance [Median (Range)] 21.4 (19.8, 30) L/hour Metabolism Primary Pathway Vutrisiran is metabolized by endo- and exonucleases to short nucleotide fragments of varying sizes within the liver Excretion Primary Pathway The mean fraction of unchanged vutrisiran eliminated in urine was approximately 19.4% at the recommended dose of 25 mg.
The mean renal clearance of vutrisiran ranged from 4.5 to
5.7L/hour After single subcutaneous vutrisiran dose from 5 to 300 mg (i.e., 0.2 to 12 times the recommended dose) in healthy subjects Specific Populations No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of vutrisiran were observed based on age, sex, race, mild and moderate renal impairment (eGFR≥30 t…
