Slowing FAP progression: Tafamidis meglumine is a small molecule capable of stabilizing the transthyretin (TTR) tetramer. Tafamidis acts in a similar way to the natural hormone T4, prevents TTR amyloid fibril formation, and offers a potential alternative to liver transplantation for the treatment of patients with TTR familial amyloid polyneuropathies (TTR-FAP).
