Recruiting PHASE2, PHASE3 Symptomatic Genetic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Tests treatment safety and results for Symptomatic Genetic Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Official title A Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Danicamtiv in Participants With Symptomatic Genetic and Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07210723

What this study is testing

What is danicamtiv?

danicamtiv is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for symptomatic genetic dilated cardiomyopathy.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The Sponsor is studying an investigational medication called danicamtiv to determine if it can help people with genetic and familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Investigational means that the safety and effectiveness of danicamtiv have not been established.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • Time commitment: about 6 months
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.

  • Is on stable doses of maximally tolerated standard-of-care heart failure (HF) therapies reflecting current guidelines for at least 4 weeks prior to the first visit.
  • Has DCM not attributed to substance abuse, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, or any other secondary form of cardiomyopathy per the Investigator.
  • Can perform an upright cardiopulmonary exercise training (CPET) with a peak oxygen uptake (pV̇O2) of 80% or less of predicted for a healthy individual and respiratory exchange ratio (RER) of ≥1.05 Key
What rules you out
  • Has heart failure with reduced ejection (HFrEF) caused primarily by ischemic heart disease, chronic valvulopathy, or another condition, as determined by the Investigator.

  • Unstable or untreated severe ventricular arrythmia (eg, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation).
  • History of malignancy of any type within 5 years prior to Screening
  • Severe renal insufficiency (defined at the time of Screening as current estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] \<15 mL/min/1.73m2 by simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation [sMDRD]).
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor, would pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the study evaluation
  • History of heart transplantation or anticipated heart transplantation in the next 6 months.
  • Ongoing or anticipated advanced cardiac interventions, including chronic IV inotropic therapy, planned cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or major surgery, or current/anticipated ventricular assist device placement...
  • Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at Screening
