The Effect of Diflunisal on Familial Transthyretin Amyloidosis

An ongoing trial of diflunisal has been closed for enrollment, thus, patients suitable for the study can no longer participate or receive treatment by diflunisal; and patients, who have participated in the trial can not continue their treatment. The investigators want to continue to monitor the effect of the drug on transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis in an open label observational study. Primary endpoint will be a composite score of the manifestations of the disease (Kumamoto scale) and secondary end points will be measurements of neurological impairment, heart involvement and nutritional status.
