    On February 16, 2022, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) announced positive results from a Phase 3 clinical trial of mavacamten


    oHCM is a chronic progressive disease that thickens the walls of the heart, making it difficult for the heart to expand properly and fill with blood, leading to a variety of debilitating symptoms and cardiac dysfunction, and is a common cause of cardiac arrest in young adults


    Mavacamten is an innovative oral selective cardiac myosin allosteric modulator that targets the underlying pathophysiology of oHCM and is expected to reduce symptoms of cardiac hypercontractility in patients


    The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Phase 3 clinical trial was conducted in patients with symptomatic oHCM who met guideline criteria for the treatment of ventricular septal reduction and who were recommended by their physicians for invasive surgery


    The primary endpoint was a composite of the number of patients who decided to undergo septal-reducing therapy at or before week 16 and the number of patients who remained eligible for septal-reducing therapy at week 16
