The RNA-based therapeutics patisiran and inotersen for hATTR represent an important advance in the treatment of a rare genetic disorder with high unmet need.

Further efforts are needed to help align the price of these treatments with their demonstrated benefits in order to ensure sustainable access to high-value care for all patients.
