On-Off Sequence
This arm will follow an On-Off sequence. This is the only arm in the study. Subjects will begin in the On phase (Period 1), where they will be on their beta-blocker (or the highest dose they can safely tolerate) as previously prescribed to the subjects by their physician. Subjects will then continue to the Off phase (Period 2) where they will down-titrate their beta-blocker by 50% each week until they are completely off the drug (or the lowest dose they can safely tolerate) for a total of two weeks. At the end of Period 2, the subjects will have their End of Intervention visit to determine if they would like to continue or discontinue their beta-blockers for the foreseeable future.

Résumé de l'étude
The study team will generate preliminary data on whether patients with cardiac amyloidosis feel better when their beta-blocker is stopped. To achieve this objective, 20 N-of-1 trials (on vs. off) will be conducted, and the study team will subsequently interview participants to better understand their outcomes. Each subject will participate in 2 periods lasting between up to 6 weeks each based on each patient's health profile. We will also engage stakeholders to understand the acceptability and feasibility of deprescribing N-of-1 trials. The N-of-1 trials will be iteratively refined in real-time based on feedback.

The intervention is an unblinded NIH Stage I of Behavioral Intervention Development trial, using a single-arm crossover withdrawal/reversal design (On \[A\] vs. Off \[B\]) with 2 periods, each period lasting up to 6 weeks, allowing for down-titration and washout. During the On (A) period, participants will be on their beta-blocker (or the highest dose they can safely tolerate), as previously prescribed to the subjects by their physician. During the Off (B) period, their beta-blockers will be down-titrated and subsequently discontinued (or at the lowest dose they can safely tolerate); we will decrease the dose of beta-blocker by 50% every week regardless of which beta-blocker they are on, similar to an algorithm used in a prior deprescribing trial.
