Welcome to the

Akcea Connect Patient Support Program!

 

While hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) is a rare disease, you are not alone. Our program is meant for anyone with hATTR that is taking PrTEGSEDI® and is enrolled in the Akcea Connect Patient Support Program.

The Akcea Connect Patient Support Program is offered by Sobi Canada to assist and support patients on TEGSEDI. Akcea Connect is proud to offer support services, like injection training and administration support, and resources about hATTR and TEGSEDI to help support you throughout your treatment journey. As part of this ongoing commitment, a Nurse Case Manager is available in Canada to provide ongoing support.
