Overview

Onpattro is a medicine used to treat nerve damage caused by hereditary transthyretin (hATTR) amyloidosis, a disease in which abnormal proteins called amyloids build up in tissues around the body including around the nerves.

Onpattro is used in adult patients in the first two stages of the nerve damage (stage 1, when the patient is able to walk unaided, and stage 2, when the patient can still walk but needs help).

hATTR amyloidosis is rare, and Onpattro was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 15 April 2011.

Onpattro contains the active substance patisiran.
