About
The primary objectives of this study are (i) to select an oral modified release (MR) formulation and dose of omecamtiv mecarbil for chronic twice daily (BID) dosing in adults with heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and (ii) to characterize its pharmacokinetics (PK) over 20 weeks of treatment.
Full description
Omecamtiv mecarbil (AMG 423, CK-1827452) is a novel small molecule that increases cardiac contractility by selectively and directly activating the enzymatic domain of cardiac myosin heavy chain, the force-generating motor protein of the cardiac sarcomere. This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 2 study, consisting of a dose escalation phase to select 1 of 3 omecamtiv mecarbil oral formulations in 2 dose escalation cohorts, followed by an expansion phase to evaluate 20 weeks of administration of the selected omecamtiv mecarbil formulation at 2 target dose levels, compared with placebo.
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.
