The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug called omecamtiv mecarbil can reduce the risk of the effects of heart failure, like hospitalization, transplantation, or death in patients with heart failure and severely reduced ejection fraction.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of omecamtiv mecarbil in reducing the risk of the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death, first heart failure (HF) event, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, cardiac transplantation, and stroke in patients with symptomatic heart failure with severely reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to investigational product (IP) - omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo. The study is event-driven and will conclude when at least 850 participants experience a HF event or CV death, which…
Inclusion Criteria: Adult patients who meet all the following criteria at screening may be included in the study: * Are between ≥ 18 years and ≤ 85 years at the signing of informed consent * Have a history of chronic HFrEF, defined as requiring treatment for HF for a minimum of 3 months prior to screening * Are receiving oral loop diuretics on a regular schedule * Patients without AFF on screening ECG: * LVEF \< 30% within 6 months of screening * Elevated N-terminal prohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) ≥ 1000 pg/mL (BNP ≥ 300 pg/mL) * Patients with AFF on screening ECG:…
