A Phase 2 Open-label Pilot Study Evaluating MYK-461 in Subjects With Symptomatic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction

The purpose of this phase 2 open-label pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and tolerability of MYK-461 in subjects with symptomatic HCM and LVOT obstruction aged 18-70 years.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with HCM (hypertrophied and non-dilated left ventricle in absence of systemic or other known cause), with LV wall thickness ≥ 15 mm at time of initial diagnosis or ≥ 13 mm with a positive family history of HCM.
  • Age 18-70
  • BMI 18-37kg/m2
  • Documented LVEF ≥ 55% at the Screening visit as determined by the investigator and the investigational site's echocardiography laboratory.
  • Resting LVOT gradient ≥ 30 mg Hg and post-exercise peak LVOT gradient ≥ 50 mm Hg
  • NYHA functional class II or higher

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia.
  • History of syncope with exercise within past 6 months.
  • Active infection.
  • Persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial fibrillation at Screening or history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with resting rate document > 100bpm within 1 year of screening.
  • Has QTc Fridericia (QTcF) > 500 ms, or any other ECG abnormality considered by the investigator to pose a risk to subject safety (e.g. second degree atrioventricular block type II).
  • Aortic stenosis or fixed subaortic obstruction.
  • History of LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 45%) at any time during their clinical course.
  • History of obstructive coronary artery disease.
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the investigator or MyoKardia physician, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
  • Part A: Ongoing therapy with beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or disopyramide. Subjects on any of these medications who, in the opinion of the investigator, can safely be withdrawn are eligible as long as medication is discontinued at least 14 days prior to the Screening visit.
  • Part B: Ongoing therapy with calcium channel blockers or disopyramide. Subjects on any of these medications who, in the opinion of the investigator, can safely be withdrawn are eligible as long as medication is discontinued at least 14 days prior to the Screening visit.
  • Prior treatment with cardiotoxic agents such as doxorubicin or similar, or current treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs that have negative inotropic activity, e.g. flecainide or propafenone.

Treatment and study plan

MYK-461

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Post-exercise Peak LVOT Gradient From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    Post-exercise peak LVOT gradients are assessed after a treadmill stress test by echocardiography.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Achieving a Post-exercise Peak LVOT Gradient Response of < 30 mmHg. Gradient < 30 mmHg

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    LVOT gradients are assessed after a treadmill stress test by echocardiography.

  2. Change in Dyspnea Symptom Score From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    The scale name is Dyspnea Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). It is intended to measure how much shortness of breath you have had in the past week. 0 = no shortness of breath and 10 = shortness of breath as the worst possible.

  3. Change in Peak VO2 From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    Peak VO2 is assessed using a cardiopulmonary exercise test.

  4. Change in VE/VCO2 From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    VE/VCO2 is assessed from cardiopulmonary exercise testing results.

  5. Change in Resting LVEF From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    LVEF is assessed by echocardiography.

  6. Change in LV Fractional Shortening (LVFS) From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    LVFS is assessed using echocardiography measures.

  7. Change in Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    GLS is assessed using echocardiography measures.

  8. Change in Post-exercise Peak LVOT Gradient From Week 12 to Week 16

    Time frame: Weeks 12 and 16

    Post-exercise peak LVOT gradients are assessed after a treadmill stress test by echocardiography.

Other outcomes

  1. Change in NYHA Functional Class From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  2. Change in KCCQ OSS From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  3. Change in NT-proBNP From Baseline to Week 12

    Time frame: 12 weeks

  4. Number of Subjects Achieving an LVOT Gradient Response of Post-exercise Peak Gradient < 10 mmHg at Week 12

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

    Post-exercise peak LVOT gradients are assessed after a treadmill stress test by echocardiography.
