Registrational Study With Omecamtiv Mecarbil (AMG 423) to Treat Chronic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil when added to standard of care is well tolerated and superior to placebo in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure events in adults with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Experimental Omecamtiv Mecarbil |
Participants received oral omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) twice daily in addition to standard heart failure therapy. The starting dose of OM was 25 mg; At week 4, participants with week 2 OM predose plasma concentrations < 200 ng/mL had their dose increased to 50 mg BID; participants with week 2 predose plasma concentrations ≥ 200 and < 300 ng/mL had their dose increased to 37.5 mg BID and participants with week 2 predose plasma concentrations ≥ 300 ng/mL and < 1000 ng/mL maintained a 25 mg BID dosing regimen. |

Placebo Comparator Placebo |
Participants received matching placebo tablets twice a day in addition to standard heart failure therapy. |

Detailed Description
This study was conducted by Amgen as the IND holder, with Cytokinetics as a collaborator. Due to the termination of the collaboration agreement between Amgen and Cytokinetics in May 2021 and subsequent transfer of the omecamtiv mecarbil IND from Amgen to Cytokinetics, Cytokinetics is now listed as the sponsor.
