About This Medication
11 DESCRIPTION AMVUTTRA contains vutrisiran, a chemically modified double-stranded small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) that targets mutant and wild-type transthyretin (TTR) messenger RNA (mRNA) and is covalently linked to a ligand containing three N -acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residues to enable delivery of the siRNA to hepatocytes. The structural formula of vutrisiran sodium is presented below. Dashed lines denote Watson-Crick base pairing The molecular formula of vutrisiran sodium is C 530 H 672 F 9 N 171 Na 43 O 323 P 43 S 6 with a molecular weight of 17,290 Da. The molecular formula of the free acid is C 530 H 715 F 9 N 171 O 323 P 43 S 6 with a molecular weight of 16,345 Da. AMVUTTRA is supplied as a sterile, preservative-free, clear, colorless-to-yellow solution for subcutaneous injection. Each 0.5 mL of solution contains 25 mg of vutrisiran (equivalent to 26.5 mg vutrisiran sodium), 0.2 mg sodium phosphate monobasic dihydrate, 0.7 mg sodium phosphate dibasic dihydrate, 3.2 mg sodium chloride, water for injection, and sodium hydroxide and/or phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to ~7.

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 ) 5.1 Reduced 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).
