Recent Clinical Program Highlights
Mavacamten for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)
- EXPLORER-HCM Data Presented at the
European Society of Cardiology 2020 VirtualCongress and Published in TheLancet : Results from MyoKardia’s Phase 3 clinical study of mavacamten for the potential treatment of symptomatic, obstructive HCM demonstrated statistically significant improvements in patient symptoms and cardiac function, as well as reductions in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. In addition to meeting the primary and all secondary endpoints, mavacamten showed reductions in biomarkers of cardiac wall stress and myocardial injury and was well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to placebo. The benefits observed were consistent across multiple prespecified subgroups.
Danicamtiv (formerly MYK-491) for Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)
- Initiated Phase 2 Clinical Trial of Danicamtiv in Genetic DCM: Danicamtiv binds directly to and activates myosin, the heart’s motor protein, to boost the power of each contraction without impacting the ability of the heart to relax and fill with oxygenated blood. MyoKardia’s Phase 2 study of danicamtiv is enrolling patients with DCM with documented genetic variants of MYH7 or titin. Pathogenic variants in single genes encoding proteins of the sarcomere have been associated with the contractile dysfunction underlying approximately 20-30 percent of dilated cardiomyopathies.
