A Phase 2 interventional study of CK-3773274 (5 - 15 mg) and CK-3773274 (10 - 30 mg) in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), sponsored by Cytokinetics. Completed at 22 sites in 4 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 85 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-02-24.

This study is being performed to understand the effect of different doses of CK-3773274 on patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
This was a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-finding study in participants with symptomatic HCM. The study consisted of 4 cohorts. For Cohorts 1 and 2, participants with obstructive HCM (oHCM) and not receiving disopyramide were randomized 2:1 to active or placebo treatment and received up to 3 escalating doses of aficamten (5, 10, and 15 mg once daily in Cohort 1 and 10, 20, and 30 mg once daily in Cohort 2) or placebo based on site-read echocardiographic guidance. Cohort 3 consisted of participants with oHCM whose background HCM therapy included disopyramide. All participants in Cohort 3 received up to 3 escalating doses of aficamten (5, 10, and 15 mg once daily) based on echocardiographic guidance. Cohort 4 consisted of participants with non-obstructive HCM (nHCM) on standard of care background therapy. Cohort 4 participants received up to 3 doses of aficamten (5, 10, and 15 mg once daily), titrated based on site-read echocardiographic guidance.
In all 4 cohorts, treatment duration was 10 weeks with a 4-week follow-up period after the last dose.
