Safety, PK, and Efficacy of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Japanese Subjects With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction
Interventions
Drug: 25 mg Omecamtiv Mecarbil
Drug: Placebo
Drug: 37.5 mg Omecamtiv Mecarbil
Drug: 50 mg Omecamtiv Mecarbil
Registration Number
NCT02695420
Lead Sponsor
Cytokinetics
Brief Summary

* To evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) of omecamtiv mecarbil in Japanese subjects with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral omecamtiv mecarbil

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PK: Area Under the Curve Until 8 Hours After Morning Dose at Week 8 (AUC0-8)Week 8 (Day 56) at predose, at 2 hours ±30 minutes; 4 hours ±30 minutes; 6 hours ±30 minutes; 8 hours ±30 minutes after morning dose
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Concentration Before Morning Dose (Cpredose) Over TimeBefore morning dose on Week 2 (Day 15), Week 4 (Day 28), Week 12 (Day 84), Week 16 (Day 112)
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline at Week 16 in Systolic Ejection Time (SET)Baseline, Week 16 (Day 112)

LS mean was from the repeated measures model, which included treatment group, stratification factor (from IVRS), scheduled visit, baseline value, and the interaction of treatment group with scheduled visit as covariates.
