Abstract
Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease of severe heart failure caused by the accumulation of amyloid in the myocardium. This disease is often advanced by the time cardiac symptoms appear; therefore, early detection and treatment are critical for a good prognosis. Recently, it has been suggested that cardiac amyloidosis is implicated in several orthopedic diseases, including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which is often reported to precede cardiac dysfunction. Shoulder disease has also been suggested to be associated with cardiac amyloidosis; however, there have been no reports investigating the rate of amyloid deposition in shoulder specimens and the simultaneous prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis. Herein, we investigated the prevalence of intraoperative specimen amyloid deposition and cardiac amyloidosis in shoulder disease and CTS to determine the usefulness of shoulder specimen screening as a predictor of cardiac amyloidosis development. Methods A total of 41 patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery and 33 patients undergoing CTS surgery were enrolled in this study. The shoulder group included rotator cuff tears, contracture of the shoulder, synovitis, and calcific tendonitis. In the shoulder group, a small sample of synovium and the long head of the biceps brachii tendon were harvested, while the transverse carpal ligament was harvested from the CTS group. The intraoperative specimens were pathologically examined for amyloid deposition, and patients with amyloid deposition were examined for the presence of cardiac amyloidosis by cardiac evaluation. Results In the shoulder group, three cases (7.3%) of transthyretin amyloid deposition were found, all of which involved rotator cuff tears. None of these three cases with amyloid deposition were associated with cardiac amyloidosis. When examining the specimens, the amyloid deposition rate in the long head of the biceps brachii tendon was higher than that in the synovium. In the CTS group, 12 cases (36.4%) of transthyretin amyloid deposition were observed. Of these cases, seven underwent cardiac evaluation and two were identified with cardiac amyloidosis. Conclusion While the prevalence of amyloid deposition and cardiac amyloidosis in the CTS group was consistent with previous reports, the shoulder group showed a lower deposition rate and no concomitant cardiac amyloidosis. Therefore, it remains debatable whether investigating amyloid deposition in samples obtained from shoulder surgery is beneficial for the early detection of cardiac amyloidosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) cardiomyopathy is a progressive and fatal disease caused by misfolded transthyretin. Despite advances in slowing disease progression, there is no available treatment that depletes ATTR from the heart for the amelioration of cardiac dysfunction. NI006 is a recombinant human anti-ATTR antibody that was developed for the removal of ATTR by phagocytic immune cells. METHODS In this phase 1, double-blind trial, we randomly assigned (in a 2:1 ratio) 40 patients with wild-type or variant ATTR cardiomyopathy and chronic heart failure to receive intravenous infusions of either NI006 or placebo every 4 weeks for 4 months. Patients were sequentially enrolled in six cohorts that received ascending doses (ranging from 0.3 to 60 mg per kilogram of body weight). After four infusions, patients were enrolled in an open-label extension phase in which they received eight infusions of NI006 with stepwise increases in the dose. The safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of NI006 were assessed, and cardiac imaging studies were performed. RESULTS The use of NI006 was associated with no apparent drug-related serious adverse events. The pharmacokinetic profile of NI006 was consistent with that of an IgG antibody, and no antidrug antibodies were detected. At doses of at least 10 mg per kilogram, cardiac tracer uptake on scintigraphy and extracellular volume on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, both of which are imaging-based surrogate markers of cardiac amyloid load, appeared to be reduced over a period of 12 months. The median N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and troponin T levels also seemed to be reduced. CONCLUSIONS In this phase 1 trial of the recombinant human antibody NI006 for the treatment of patients with ATTR cardiomyopathy and heart failure, the use of NI006 was associated with no apparent drug-related serious adverse events.
