Inclusion Criteria
  • Participants who meet all the following criteria at screening may be included in the trial:

    • Males and females between 18 to 85 years of age, inclusive, at screening

    • Body mass index < 35 kg/m2

    • Diagnosed with oHCM per the following criteria by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) or echocardiography -

      • Has left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with non-dilated LV chamber in the absence of other cardiac disease and

      • Has an end-diastolic LV wall thickness as measured by the echocardiography core laboratory:

        1. ≥ 15 mm in one or more myocardial segments OR
        2. ≥ 13 mm in one or more wall segments and a known disease-causing gene mutation or positive family history of HCM
    • NYHA class II or III

    • Has a KCCQ-CSS score of ≤ 90 at screening

    • Has a screening echocardiogram with the following determined by the echocardiography core laboratory:

      • Resting LVOT-G > 30 mm Hg and/or post-Valsalva LVOT-G ≥ 50 mmHg at screening AND
      • LVEF ≥ 60%
    • Hemoglobin ≥ 10g/dL

    • Respiratory exchange ratio (RER) ≥ 1.05 and peak oxygen uptake (pVO2) < 100% predicted on the screening CPET per the core laboratory

    • Patients previously exposed to mavacamten are allowed to participate but must be off mavacamten for at least 8 weeks

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

    • Medical indication for either beta blocker or calcium-channel blockers prohibiting drug discontinuation other than oHCM

    • History of intolerance or medical contraindication to beta blocker therapy

    • Resting SBP of > 160 mmHg

    • Resting heart rate of > 100 bpm

    • Significant valvular heart disease

      1. Moderate-severe valvular aortic stenosis or fixed subaortic obstruction
      2. Mitral regurgitation not due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve (per Investigator judgment)
    • Known or suspected infiltrative, genetic or storage disorder causing cardiac hypertrophy that mimics oHCM (eg, Noonan syndrome, Fabry disease, amyloidosis)

    • History of LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 45%) or stress cardiomyopathy at any time during their clinical course

    • Inability to exercise on a treadmill or bicycle (eg, orthopedic limitations)

    • Documented room air oxygen saturation reading < 90% at screening

    • Planned septal reduction treatment that cannot be deferred during the trial period

    • History of septal reduction therapy (surgical myectomy or alcohol septal ablation) within 6 months of screening

    • History of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Atrial flutter treated with radio frequency ablation without recurrence within the last 6 months prior to screening is allowed.

    • Current or recent (< 4 weeks) therapy with disopyramide

    • History of syncope, symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia, or sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia with exercise within 6 months prior to screening

    • Has received prior treatment with aficamten or previously intolerant (reduced LVEF requiring permanent drug discontinuation) to mavacamten
