Clinical Study to Evaluate Mavacamten in Adults With Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Paciente / Población Intervención / Exposición Comparación Desenlace
In 251 patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM (NYHA II-III, LVOT gradient ≥50 mmHg), mavacamten improved the composite of peak VO2 and NYHA functional class compared with placebo.

Resultado45/123 (37%) with mavacamten vs 22/128 (17%) with placebo met the primary endpoint (difference +19.4%, 95% CI 8.7-30.1; P=0.0005). LVOT gradient and symptoms also improved.

Discusión y crítica
Surrogate/functional composite endpoint rather than hard outcomes, with a modest absolute responder difference. First pivotal trial of a cardiac myosin inhibitor, leading to FDA approval of mavacamten for obstructive HCM.
