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.
Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria
- Is at least 50 years old at Screening.
- Body weight is greater than 45 kg at Screening.
- Documented prior objective evidence of heart failure as shown by 1 or more of the following criteria:
- Previous hospitalization for heart failure with documented radiographic evidence of pulmonary congestion.
- Elevated LV end-diastolic pressure or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure at rest (≥15 mm Hg) or with exercise (≥25 mm Hg).
- Elevated level of NT-proBNP (>400 pg/mL) or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (>200 pg/mL).
- Echocardiographic evidence of medial E/e' ratio ≥ 15 or left atrial enlargement (left atrial volume index >34 mL/m2) together with chronic treatment with spironolactone, eplerenone, or a loop diuretic.
- Meets 1 or more of the following criteria:
- A screening hs-cTnT ≥ 99th percentile AND a screening NT-proBNP > 200 pg/mL (if not in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) or > 500 pg/mL (if in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) OR if the screened participant is of African descent or has a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30.0 kg/m2, a screening hs-cTnT ≥ 99th percentile, AND a screening NT-proBNP > 160 pg/mL (if not in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) or > 400 pg/mL (if in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter).
- A screening NT-proBNP > 300 pg/mL (if not in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) or > 750 pg/mL (if in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) OR if the screened participant is of African descent or has a BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2, a screening NT-proBNP > 240 pg/mL (if not in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter) or > 600 pg/mL (if in atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter).
- Has documented LVEF ≥60% at the Screening visit and no history of prior LVEF ≤ 45%.
- Has maximal left ventricular wall thickness ≥12 mm OR documented elevated left ventricular mass index by 2-dimensional imaging (>95 g/m2 if female and >115 g/m2 if male).
- Has high quality TTEs without or with echocardiographic contrast agents.
- Has NYHA class II or III symptoms at Screening.
Key Exclusion Criteria
- Has a prior diagnosis of HCM OR a known infiltrative or storage disorder causing HFpEF and/or cardiac hypertrophy, such as amyloidosis, Fabry disease, or Noonan syndrome with LV hypertrophy OR a positive serum immunofixation result.
- Has a history of syncope within the last 6 months or sustained ventricular tachycardia with exercise within the past 6 months.
- Has a history of resuscitated sudden cardiac arrest at any time or known appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator discharge within 6 months prior to Screening.
- Has persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation not on anticoagulation for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening and/or is not adequately rate controlled within 6 months prior to Screening.
- Currently treated or planned treatment during the study with either: (a) a combination of beta blocker and verapamil or a combination of beta blocker and diltiazem, (b) disopyramide, or (c) biotin or biotin-containing supplements/multivitamins.
- Has known moderate or severe aortic valve stenosis, hemodynamically significant mitral stenosis, or severe mitral or tricuspid regurgitation at Screening.
- Has severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or other severe pulmonary disease, requiring home oxygen, chronic nebulizer therapy, chronic oral steroid therapy or hospitalized for pulmonary decompensation within 12 months.
- Has body mass index ≥45.0 kg/m2.
- Has left ventricular global longitudinal strain by TTE in the range from 0 to -12.0 (assessed by the central laboratory).
- Has NT-proBNP at Screening >2000 pg/mL.
- Has acute decompensated heart failure events requiring intravenous (IV) diuretics, IV inotropes, IV vasodilators, or a left ventricular assist device within 30 days prior to Screening.
