FDA Approves BridgeBio's Heart Drug, Sparking Competition with Pfizer
The FDA has approved BridgeBio's new drug, Attruby, for treating transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), marking the first new treatment for this heart condition in over five years. ATTR-CM, which affects over 400,000 people globally, is caused by genetic mutations or aging, leading to amyloid deposits in the heart that impair its function. This approval represents BridgeBio's first major commercial product.
