4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Tafamidis is indicated to treat cardiomyopathy of wild type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis in adults.


FDA Label


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Tafamidis stabilizes transthyretin tetramers, reducing the amount of monomers available for amyloidogenesis. It has a long duration of action as it is given once daily, and a wide therapeutic window.

5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Tafamidis reaches a Cmax of 1430.93ng/mL with a Tmax of 1.75h fasted and 4h fed. The AUC of tafamidis is 47,864.31ng\*h/mL.


Route of Elimination

A 20mg oral dose of tafamidis is approximately 59% recovered in the feces, largely as unchanged drug. Approximately 22% of a 20mg oral dose is recovered in the urine, mostly as the glucuronide metabolite.


Volume of Distribution

The apparent volume of distribution at steady state is 18.5L.


Clearance

The oral clearance of tafamidis is 0.263L/h. The apparent total clearance is 0.44L/h.


5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

Tafamidis is largely not subject to first pass or oxidative metabolism, being 90% unchanged after in in vitro experiments. Preclinical data suggest tafamidis is mainly metabolized through glucuronidation and excreted in bile.


5.5 Biological Half-Life

The half life of tafamidis is 49h.


5.6 Mechanism of Action

Genetic mutations or natural misfolding of transthyretin destabalizes transthyretin tetramers, leading to their dissociation and aggregation in tissues, and disrupting the normal function of these tissues. Tafamidis binds to transthyretin tetramers at the thyroxin binding sites, stabilizing the tetramer, reducing the availability of monomers for amyloidogenesis.
