BridgeBio Pharma has filed for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of its acoramidis drug candidate for the heart disease transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy, or ATTR-CM.

The Palo Alto, Calif., biopharmaceutical company on Tuesday said the filing is based on positive results from a Phase 3 study, including an 81% absolute survival rate.

Pfizer's tafamidis, which the drugmaker sells as its Vyndaqel/Vyndamax family, is currently the only approved U.S. treatment for ATTR-CM, a disease in which abnormal protein builds up on the heart and can lead to heart failure.

BridgeBio said the FDA has a 60-day filing review period to determine whether the application is complete and accepted for review, adding that it plans to submit additional applications to global health authorities in 2024.
