Summary of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Trials.

Study Group Primary Endpoint Achieved Secondary Endpoint Achieved Adverse Event
PIONEER-HCM N=11
Cohort A- Mavacamten 10–15 mg with no background therapy for 12 weeks
N=10
Cohort B- Mavacamten 2–5 mg with beta blockers for 12 weeks
Cohort A- ↓ peak exercise LVOT gradient- 90 mm Hg (95% CI -138 to -41; p=0.008)
Cohort B-↓ peak exercise LVOT gradient -25 mm Hg (95% CI -47 to -3.0 mm Hg; p=0.02)
↑ pVO2
↓ Resting and Valsalva LVOT gradients
↓ NT-proBNP
Improved NYHA, KCCQ-CCS & NRS score
Cohort A- recurrence of atrial fibrillation requiring hospitalization in 1 patient; transient ↓EF in 3 patients
EXPLORER-HCM N=251
Mavacamten 2.5–15 mg vs. placebo for 30 weeks
↑ in pVO2 > 1.5 mL/kg/min and ↓ NYHA>1 class or ↑ in pVO2 > 3.0mL/kg/min and no worsening of NYHA class
37% vs. 17% (difference +19.4%, 95% CI 8.7 to 30.1; p=0.0005)
↑ pVO2
↓ Post-exercise LVOT gradient
↓ NYHA class > 1
Improved KCCQ-CCS
7 mavacamten patients had a decrease in EF <50% that recovered
1 death in placebo
VALOR-HCM N=112
Mavacamten 2.5–15 mg vs. placebo for 16 weeks of patients referred for SRT within the past 12 months
Decided to proceed with SRT or was guideline eligible for SRT
18% vs. 77% (p<0.0001)
↓ Post-exercise LVOT gradient
↓ NYHA class >1
Improved KCCQ-CCS
↓ NT-proBNP and troponin I
2 mavacamten patients had a decrease in EF <50% that recovered
