NCT04766892

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of mavacamten treatment on biomarker levels in participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and elevation of NT-proBNP with or without elevation of cTnT. Data from this study will inform future study designs of mavacamten in patients with HFpEF.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

  • Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Treatment-emergent Adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    From the first dose of study drug through 56 days following last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of 225 days up to a max of approximately 270 days)

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)

    Adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs of special interest include: Symptomatic overdose, teratogenicity, and LVEF ≤30%

    From the first dose of study drug through 56 days following last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of 225 days up to a max of approximately 270 days)

  • Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)

    Treatment-emergent serious adverse event (TESAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: Results in death, Is immediately life-threatening (places the participant at immediate risk of death from the event as it occurred), Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, Results in a congenital abnormality or birth defect, Is an important medical event that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization, but may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, it may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above.

    From the first dose of study drug through 56 days following last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of 225 days up to a max of approximately 270 days)

  • Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities Reported as Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Blood samples were collected to assess the abnormalities in laboratory parameters.

    From the first dose of study drug through 56 days following last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of 225 days up to a max of approximately 270 days)

  • Number of Participants With Abnormal Vital Signs Reported as Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Treatment-emergent Adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    From the first dose of study drug through 56 days following last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of 225 days up to a max of approximately 270 days)

  • Number of Participants With Cardiac Rhythm Abnormalities Reported as Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Treatment-emergent Adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    From the first dose of study drug through 56 days following last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of 225 days up to a max of approximately 270 days)

  • Ratio to Baseline at Week 26 in Resting N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) Levels

    Ratio to baseline in N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide levels. The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first administration of study drug.

    At Week 26

  • Ratio to Baseline at Week 26 in Resting High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T (Hs-cTnT) Levels Assessed by High-Sensitivity Assay

    Ratio to Baseline in resting high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) levels. The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first administration of study drug.
