Aficamten in a Pediatric Population with Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of aficamten compared with placebo on change from baseline in Valsalva LVOT-G

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Period 1: Treatment Period

    • Males and females between 12 and < 18 years of age at screening and at Day 1.
    • Body weight ≥ 45 kg for the initial cohort and then body weight ≥ 35 kg after at least 10 participants in the initial cohort have undergone dose titration up to Week 4 without observed events of LVEF < 50% at the starting dose of 5 mg qd.
    • Core laboratory confirmation of the following oHCM echocardiographic criteria at screening:
  • Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with nondilated LV chamber in the absence of other cardiac disease.
  • LV end-diastolic wall thickness that meets a threshold of:

    • Z-score > 2.5 in the absence of symptoms or family history or
    • Z-score > 2 in the presence of positive family history or positive genetic test.
  • LVEF ≥ 60% AND Valsalva LVOT-G ≥ 50 mmHg.

    • oHCM of sarcomeric origin confirmed by genetic testing or, if unable to confirm by genetic testing, oHCM of sarcomeric origin may be presumed in the absence of history of metabolic disorders, mitochondrial cardiomyopathies, neuromuscular disease, malformation syndromes, infiltrative diseases/inflammation, and endocrine disorders (such as Fabry's disease, Noonan syndrome with left ventricular hypertrophy, and amyloid-cardiomyopathy).
    • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≥ II at screening.
    • Adequate acoustic windows for echocardiography.
    • Participants on beta blockers, verapamil, diltiazem, or disopyramide should have been on stable doses for more than 4 weeks prior to randomization.

Period 2: Open-Label Extension

  • Completed Period 1. If unable to complete Period 1 due to circumstances not related to compliance or safety, the Medical Monitor may review and determine eligibility.
  • LVEF ≥ 55% after washout.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Period 1: Treatment Period

Any of the following criteria will exclude potential participants from the trial:

  • Significant valvular heart disease.

    • Moderate or severe valvular aortic stenosis or fixed subaortic obstruction.
    • Mitral regurgitation that is greater than mild in severity and not due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (per judgment of Principal Investigator or designee).
    • No evidence of fixed left-sided obstruction (eg, subaortic, aortic valve, or coarctation of the aorta).
  • History of LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 45%) or stress cardiomyopathy at any time during their clinical course.
  • History of congenital heart disease other than oHCM (may be enrolled if not hemodynamically significant in the judgement of the Principal Investigator and study Medical Monitor).
  • Has been treated with SRT (surgical myectomy or percutaneous alcohol septal ablation) or has plans for either treatment during the trial period.
  • History of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
  • History of syncope, symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia, or sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia within 3 months prior to screening.
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, malignancy, active infection, other condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator (or designee) or the Medical Monitor, would pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the trial evaluation, procedures, or completion.
  • Current or previous use of drugs known to cause cardiomyopathy (eg, anthracyclines, monoclonal antibodies [trastuzumab], alkylating agents [cyclophosphamide], and tyrosine kinase inhibitors [sunitinib and imatinib]).
  • Currently participating in another investigational device or drug trial or received an investigational device or drug < 1 month (or 5 half-lives for drugs, whichever is longer) prior to screening.
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation within 6 weeks of screening or planned ICD implantation during the trial period.
  • Has received prior treatment with aficamten or mavacamten.

Period 2:

Exclusion Criteria:

Had a confirmed LVEF < 40% with an associated dose interruption during participation in Period 1.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
