Amvuttra
What is Amvuttra?
Amvuttra is prescribed to treat the polyneuropathy associated with hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis in adults. It is a type of double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA), known as RNA interference (RNAi) therapy, which disrupts the expression of the transthyretin (TTR) gene.

What does Amvuttra treat?
Amvuttra treats a rare disorder called hATTR. This condition can be difficult to spot and is life-threatening if left untreated. A change in the TTR gene (which provides instructions on how to make the transthyretin protein) causes harmful amyloid deposits to develop around the body.
How does Amvuttra work?
Amvuttra works by decreasing the amount of TTR protein being produced by the liver. This lowers the overall amount of amyloid deposits collecting in the body. A clinical study found that the amount of TTR protein was reduced by an average 88% in those treated with Amvuttra.

Amvuttra Cost
Amvuttra cost can vary depending on several factors including insurance status and insurance provider. At Pure Infusion Suites, we are committed to lowering costs and improving access for our patients. Our team of patient access coordinators are here to set you up for success.
We work with a growing list of insurance providers, and are always working to ensure claims/authorizations are processed efficiently. All patients are enrolled in co-pay assistance programs to assist in covering costs of treatment.
Additionally, data from an Artemetrx report shows average costs at an outpatient hospital facility are more than 3X higher than costs at an ambulatory infusion center. That means we save our patients’ money, while offering a more comfortable experience!

Before your infusion, it is important to drink plenty of water and come to your appointment hydrated. Additionally, you must alert us as soon as possible to any changes in your insurance to ensure that we are still an in-network provider for your treatment.

Patient Stories
PURE has found a way to put patient care First!!! With knowledgeable empathetic experienced staff to Private rooms with the ambiance and amenities of a 5 star Hotel!!!
A diagnoses requiring infusions is scary. I feel optimistic that my treatment requiring infusions in an environment like PURE Will smooth the road to a successful outcome for my overall health. Feeling Grateful………
When I arrived, I was introduced to Holly who was going to be giving me my infusion. Holly was great to work with. She was professional, informative, and approachable.
Finally, the suites were fully decked out with whatever you may need. Drinks, snacks, wifi, TV. The chairs were amazingly comfy.
I'm a huge fan and they have another loyal customer!
Additionally, the staff is way more helpful in my opinion in working with your insurance and communicating the progress of everything with you than other locations.
If you get IV infusions of any sort, check this place out. I'd bet money you will never go back to a hospital or other facility.
From a customer service standpoint they are amazing as well. The girl at the front desk was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the start and helped me sign up for the copay program for my medication.
They provide a pillow, plush blanket, a TV with streaming options, snacks, drinks and even buy you lunch. I joked with Natalie that it felt like a "white glove" or "first class experience."
I think providing those options adds to the patient experience in the sense that you feel comfortable and therefore less nervous. Natalie took great care of me during and especially after my infusion to make sure I was truly good to go before leaving their care.
Thank you all for a great experience. If I have to sit through infusions, at least it was with style, class, and real care!
