Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Presents Phase 3 SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 Data Demonstrating Plozasiran Reduced Acute Pancreatitis Events in Patients with Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals Presents Phase 3 SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 Data Demonstrating Plozasiran Reduced Acute Pancreatitis Events in Patients with Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

– Plozasiran reduced triglycerides (TG) by 79% and 81% versus placebo in SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 across the broad sHTG population –

– More than 90% of plozasiran-treated patients achieved triglycerides below thresholds for AP risk, 500 mg/dL at Month 12, and more than half achieved triglycerides below 150 mg/dL –

– Plozasiran reduced cumulative acute pancreatitis (AP) events by 78% versus placebo in patients with TG above 500 mg/dL, with or without a prior history of AP –

– Greater absolute benefit of AP risk reduction was observed in patients at higher risk –

– In the highest-risk subgroup, patients with TG above 880 mg/dL and a prior history of AP, there was a 100% reduction in events versus placebo –

– Plozasiran demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with overall treatment-emergent adverse events similar between plozasiran and placebo groups –

– Arrowhead plans to file a supplemental New Drug Application with the U.S. FDA by year-end 2026 and utilize a Priority Review Voucher –

– Detailed results presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 in Munich as a Hot Line Late-Breaking Science session

PASADENA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARWR) today presented results from the pivotal Phase 3 SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 studies of plozasiran in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) during a Hot Line Late-Breaking Science session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany.

SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 met their primary and all prespecified secondary endpoints and demonstrated deep and durable reductions in triglycerides (TG), with median reductions from baseline of 79% and 81%, respectively at Month 12 (p<0.0001 in both studies). In a prespecified pooled analysis, plozasiran also significantly reduced acute pancreatitis (AP) events across the broad sHTG study population, with greater absolute benefit observed among patients at higher risk of AP. More than 90% of plozasiran-treated patients in both studies achieved TG levels below 500 mg/dL (<5.65 mmol/L) at Month 12, and more than half achieved TG levels below 150 mg/dL (<1.69 mmol/L).

“These SHASTA-3 and -4 results build on the compelling topline data we reported in July and further strengthen our view that plozasiran has the potential to fundamentally change how severe hypertriglyceridemia is treated,” said Christopher Anzalone, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Arrowhead. “The depth and consistency of triglyceride lowering across two large pivotal studies are impressive, but what may be most important for patients and physicians is the significant reduction in acute pancreatitis. The benefit was particularly pronounced among patients with a prior history of pancreatitis, a population with substantial ongoing risk. Combined with quarterly dosing and a favorable safety and tolerability profile, we believe these data demonstrate a highly differentiated profile for plozasiran and unequivocally support our plans to seek regulatory approval for the broader sHTG population. Our purchase of a U.S. FDA Priority Review Voucher, announced earlier this month, will potentially accelerate our goal of getting this important new medicine to patients.”

James Hamilton, M.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D at Arrowhead, added, “SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 enrolled a broad population that reflects the heterogeneity and substantial disease burden seen in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Plozasiran produced deep and durable reductions in triglycerides and other atherogenic lipoproteins, and more than 90% of treated patients achieved triglyceride levels below the severe hypertriglyceridemia threshold at Month 12. Importantly, the reduction in acute pancreatitis events was observed across the pooled population and became increasingly more meaningful in patients at higher risk. We believe the totality of these data provides strong evidence supporting APOC3 reduction in the liver with plozasiran as a potentially important treatment approach for patients with sHTG.”

Arrowhead intends to leverage data from the Phase 3 SHASTA-3, SHASTA-4 and MUIR-3 studies to seek marketing authorization for plozasiran in the broader sHTG population in multiple global geographies, beginning with a planned supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before the end of 2026. On August 4, 2026, the company announced it had purchased an FDA Priority Review Voucher, which it intends to utilize for this application.

SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 Phase 3 Results

SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 were global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies evaluating plozasiran 25 mg administered subcutaneously once every three months in adults with sHTG. Across the two studies, 757 patients were randomized to receive plozasiran or placebo.

Triglyceride and Lipoprotein Effects

  • At Month 12, median TG levels were reduced from baseline by 79% in SHASTA-3 and 81% in SHASTA-4 in patients receiving plozasiran 25 mg (p<0.0001 in each study).

  • Among patients with baseline TG ≥880 mg/dL (≥9.94 mmol/L), median TG reductions at Month 12 were 85% in both SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4.

  • At Month 12, 91% and 93% of plozasiran-treated patients in SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4, respectively, achieved TG levels <500 mg/dL (<5.65 mmol/L), compared with 51% and 50% of placebo-treated patients (p<0.0001 for each comparison).

  • 52% and 55% of plozasiran-treated patients in SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4, respectively, achieved TG levels <150 mg/dL (<1.69 mmol/L), compared with 7.9% and 2.0% of placebo-treated patients (p<0.0001 for each comparison).

  • Plozasiran also produced significant reductions in APOC3, remnant cholesterol (VLDL-C) and non-HDL cholesterol.

Acute Pancreatitis

In a prespecified pooled analysis of AP events from SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4:

  • Plozasiran reduced the rate of all AP events by 78% versus placebo (RR 0.22; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.67; p=0.008), corresponding to a 4.1% absolute risk reduction and a number needed to treat to prevent one AP event over one year (NNT), of 24.

  • Plozasiran significantly reduced the risk of a first AP event (HR 0.26; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.78; p=0.016).

  • Among patients with TG ≥ 500 mg/dl (5.65 mmol/L) any prior history of AP, plozasiran reduced the AP event rate by 91% versus placebo (RR 0.09; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.41; p=0.002), corresponding to a 34% absolute risk reduction and NNT over one year, of 3.

Safety and Tolerability

Plozasiran demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile in SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4. Overall treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 73% of patients in both the pooled plozasiran and placebo groups. Serious TEAEs occurred in 8.3% of patients receiving plozasiran and 10% receiving placebo. TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation were uncommon, occurring in 1.4% of plozasiran-treated patients and 0.8% of placebo-treated patients.

The most common TEAEs occurring in at least 5% of plozasiran-treated patients included worsening glycemic control (14.3%) and diarrhea (5.6%), compared with 8.7% and 3.2%, respectively, in placebo-treated patients. Despite the imbalance in reported glycemic control-related TEAEs, mean HbA1c showed minimal to modest absolute change from baseline with no worsening of mean HbA1c over time.

Injection-site reactions occurred in 3.2% of plozasiran-treated patients and 2.0% of placebo-treated patients. There were no cases of anaphylaxis or systemic hypersensitivity. No clinically meaningful changes in platelet counts or meaningful elevations in ALT or AST relative to placebo were observed, and no cases met Hy’s law criteria. In a prespecified MRI-PDFF sub study, there was no statistically significant treatment-emergent increase in hepatic fat fraction (p=0.70).

Three fatal events occurred in plozasiran-treated patients, consisting of two cardiovascular deaths and one death due to chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. All three were attributed to pre-existing cardiovascular or hematologic disease and assessed as unrelated to study treatment.

Conference Call and Webcast

Arrowhead will host a conference call and webcast on August 31, 2026 (14:00 CEST/ 8:00 am EDT/ 5:00 am PDT) to discuss the detailed SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 results presented at ESC Congress 2026.

About Severe Hypertriglyceridemia

Severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) is characterized by triglyceride (TG) levels greater than 500 mg/dL (5.65 mmol/L), with the most severe form being familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) where TGs typically exceed 880 mg/dL (9.94 mmol/L). SHTG significantly increases the risk of acute pancreatitis (AP), which can often include recurrent attacks requiring repeat hospital admissions and worsening outcomes. AP risk is proportional to the number, characteristics, and concentration of triglyceride rich lipoproteins (TRLs), particularly chylomicrons, and increases as TGs rise. Elevated TGs can also increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Limited treatment options exist to sustainably reduce TGs below guideline directed risk thresholds.

About SHASTA-3 and SHASTA-4 Phase 3 Studies

SHASTA-3 (NCT06347003) and SHASTA-4 (NCT06347016) are global double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3 studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plozasiran in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia. Between the two studies, approximately 750 participants were randomized to receive 4 doses (once every 3 months) of 25 mg plozasiran or placebo. The primary endpoint is percent change in fasting serum triglyceride levels from baseline to month 12 compared to placebo. After Month 12, eligible participants are offered an opportunity to continue in an optional open-label extension.

About REDEMPLO® (plozasiran)

REDEMPLO (plozasiran) is currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada, China’s National Medical Products Administration, the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration, and by the European Commission as an adjunct to diet to reduce triglycerides for adults with FCS. REDEMPLO is the first and only siRNA treatment approved in these countries to be studied in both clinically diagnosed and genetically confirmed patients living with FCS.

REDEMPLO is designed to suppress the production of apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3), a protein produced in the liver that raises triglyceride levels by slowing their breakdown and clearance. By targeting APOC3 with sustained silencing, REDEMPLO delivers significant reductions in triglyceride levels. REDEMPLO is self-administered via subcutaneous injection once every three months.

REDEMPLO has been granted Orphan Medicinal Product Designation by the EMA for the treatment of patients with FCS, and Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, and Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with FCS and was also granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the U.S. FDA in severe hypertriglyceridemia.

Sanofi acquired the rights to develop and commercialize REDEMPLO in Greater China, with Arrowhead retaining rights to REDEMPLO in all geographies, outside of Greater China.

RACKSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC.


CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT – COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY:


The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Rackspace’s enterprise AI efforts would require the company to significantly re-prioritize its capacity and capital away from the profitable Private Cloud segment; (2) Rackspace’s Public Cloud revenue was declining as customers contracted directly with hyperscale cloud platforms; (3) as a result, Rackspace was likely to significantly reduce a material portion of its Public Cloud infrastructure resale business; (4) consequently, Rackspace’s fiscal year 2026 revenue would be significantly impacted; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Why did Rackspace’s Stock Drop?

On July 9, 2026, before the market opened, Rackspace published its second quarter 2026 financial results and disclosed “a strategic and financial update on its transition to becoming the operator of the full enterprise AI stack.” Specifically, Rackspace revealed that its AI investments would require a significant re-prioritization of resources and, as a result, reduced its full year 2026 revenue guidance by $150 million. Rackspace also cut its full year 2026 Private Cloud revenue outlook by $25 million and explained that “[l]ower near-term margins reflect upfront growth investment and restructuring, ahead of AI revenue ramping.”

On this news, Rackspace’s stock price fell $2.21 per share, or 33.6%, to close at $4.37 per share on July 9, 2026.


WHAT RACKSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. INVESTORS CAN DO NOW:

  1. File to be lead plaintiff by September 28, 2026.
  2. Contact KTMC for a free case evaluation. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you.
  3. Retain counsel of choice or take no action.


THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS FOR RACKSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC. INVESTORS:


Rackspace investors may, no later than September 28, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.


Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP
encourages Rackspace investors to contact the firm for more information.

Acoramidis Demonstrates Reversal of Cardiac Structural Disease Progression and Functional Decline and Significantly Increases Days Alive and Free from Hospitalization in ATTR-CM

– Acoramidis is the first therapy shown to potentially reverse cardiac structural disease progression and functional decline through 42 months based on CMR imaging,
 with up to half of patients showing clinically meaningful improvement in cardiac function in the completer analysis

– Patients treated with acoramidis were observed to have an unprecedented 65 additional days alive and out of the hospital by Month 36 versus baseline placebo patients

– Acoramidis demonstrated long-term efficacy and safety through 54 months across variant ATTR-CM subgroups, including p.Val142Ile and non-p.Val142Ile. These findings were simultaneously published in the

European Journal of Heart Failure

PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBIO) (“BridgeBio” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage, multi-product biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines for genetic conditions, presented new analyses from the Phase 3 ATTRibute-CM study of Attruby® (acoramidis) in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), including the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) substudy and the open-label extension (OLE) at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026. Acoramidis is the only selective small molecule, orally administered, near-complete (≥90%) transthyretin (TTR) stabilizer.

“The clinical community is excited about the potential to restore heart health found in these data. For a long time, patients living with ATTR-CM could only hope for a stop to the otherwise relentless progression of disease. These new CMR data from ATTRibute-CM shows evidence of reversal in a meaningful proportion of individuals treated with acoramidis, with roughly half showing improved left ventricular systolic function in the completer analysis, more than 2x the proportion observed in the natural history from a NAC cohort or in ATTRibute-CM participants treated with placebo. These findings support acoramidis as a therapy capable of altering the trajectory of this otherwise progressive disease,” said Marianna Fontana, M.D. of University College London, UK. “For patients and clinicians navigating ATTR-CM, this is an exciting signal that the treatment paradigm is shifting toward a therapy that could actively restore heart health rather than only manage decline.”

The CMR substudy of ATTRibute-CM and its open-label extension provide the first evidence from serial CMR that a therapy can potentially reverse disease progression through Month 42. The findings presented by Awais Sheikh, MBChB of the National Amyloidosis Centre, London, UK were evaluated using two complementary analytical approaches, which found:

  • In a completer analysis, clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in left ventricular (LV) systolic function was observed in 54% of acoramidis-treated patients versus 20% of placebo-treated patients at Month 30, and in 53% of continuous-acoramidis patients at Month 42
  • For context, only 26% of completers in an independent natural history cohort demonstrated improved LV systolic function by Month 24 – approximately half the rate observed with acoramidis, suggesting that this magnitude of improvement falls outside the expected natural course of disease
  • In a conservative analysis, long-term acoramidis treatment was associated with clinically meaningful improvement from baseline in LV systolic function in approximately one-third of patients over 30-42 months. Improvement was observed in 34% of acoramidis-treated patients versus 9% of placebo-treated patients at Month 30 and in 30% of continuous-acoramidis patients at Month 42
  • In addition, 46% of patients receiving continuous acoramidis demonstrated improvement from baseline in LV mass index at Month 42, providing evidence of favorable structural remodeling
  • These results provided sufficient evidence for BridgeBio to recently dose its first participant in ASCEND-ATTR, a Phase 3b/4 study designed to determine if acoramidis is associated with sustained improvement in myocardial structural disease progression, function and amyloid burden

In a post-hoc analysis of ATTRibute-CM presented by Richard Wright, M.D. of the Pacific Heart Institute, U.S., acoramidis preserved significantly more time alive outside the hospital for patients with ATTR-CM. The analysis evaluated days lost to death and/or cardiovascular-related hospitalization (DLDCVH), a patient-centered measure that integrates all-cause mortality, cardiovascular-related hospitalizations, and length of stay into a single assessment of disease burden. Key findings included:

  • In participants with ATTR-CM, acoramidis reduced the estimated mean percentage of DLDCVH to 7.5% versus 11.7% with placebo through Month 30
  • Acoramidis preserved more than one month of additional time alive and out of the hospital (38 days) over 30 months with the benefit nearly doubling to 65 days (observed) over three years, and nearly tripling to up to 94 days (modelled estimates) over three years, reflecting progressive divergence in outcomes over time

The p.Val142Ile genetic variant is the most common ATTR-CM genetic variant globally, disproportionately affecting individuals of Western African ancestry, with a carrier frequency of 3-4% in the U.S. Black population. Findings in the ATTRibute-CM OLE presented by Kevin Alexander, M.D. of Stanford University School of Medicine, U.S. showed continued benefit of acoramidis in 56 variant ATTR-CM (ATTRv-CM) patients, including 35 p.Val142Ile and 21 non-p.Val142Ile patients through Month 54, demonstrating:

  • All-cause mortality (ACM) and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) were markedly lower in the continuous acoramidis arm versus placebo-to-acoramidis across both p.Val142Ile and non-p.Val142Ile variant subgroups
  • Through Month 54, ACM was 30.4% with continuous acoramidis versus 66.7% with placebo-to-acoramidis in the p.Val142Ile subgroup, and 24.3% with continuous acoramidis versus 57.9% with placebo-to-acoramidis across the overall ATTRv-CM population, a consistent, more than two-fold difference in mortality favoring continuous treatment
  • The ACM and CVM rates at Month 54 were notably high (~65%) in the p.Val142Ile group who were randomized to placebo in ATTRibute-CM, underscoring the substantial unmet medical need in this high-risk subgroup
  • Continuous acoramidis achieved sustained increases in serum TTR (sTTR) and persistent attenuation of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) rise through Month 54 in both participants with p.Val142Ile or non-p.Val142Ile variants
  • These Month 54 findings extend the survival benefit and favorable biomarker trends previously reported at Month 30, demonstrating the long-term durability of efficacy and safety of acoramidis in ATTRv-CM, including in the p.Val142Ile subgroup
  • Acoramidis remained well tolerated through Month 54, with no new safety signals observed in the OLE

In addition to the one oral presentation and two moderated posters highlighted, two additional moderated posters on acoramidis were shared at the ESC Congress 2026, including:

  • Acoramidis Improves Health-Related Quality of Life in Wild-Type and Variant Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: An EQ-5D-5L Subgroup Analysis from ATTRibute-CM, presented by Emer Joyce, M.D., Ph.D. of The Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, IE

    • Treatment with acoramidis resulted in significant and clinically meaningful benefits in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in both wild-type ATTR-CM (ATTRwt-CM) and ATTRv-CM. Greater impact on HRQoL versus placebo was observed in participants with ATTRv-CM
  • Improvement of Health Status with Acoramidis in Patients with Wild-Type and Variant Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: KCCQ Domains Analysis from the ATTRibute-CM Study, presented by Nitasha Sarswat, M.D. of University of Chicago Medical Center, U.S.

    • In ATTRibute-CM, acoramidis attenuated the decline in heart failure-related health status versus placebo in participants with ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM, with consistent benefits observed across Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall Summary (KCCQ-OS) and individual domain scores. A numerical improvement was observed across almost all KCCQ domains in acoramidis-treated participants with ATTRwt-CM and ATTRv-CM relative to placebo

As part of BridgeBio’s partnership with Yale’s Cardiovascular Data Science (CarDS) Lab to advance AI networks for earlier detection of ATTR-CM, three posters were presented at the ESC Congress 2026. Findings from the partnership included:

  • A Novel AI-Derived Digital Biomarker for Monitoring Disease Progression in ATTR-CM: First-In-Trial Use of a Computer Vision AI-ECG Algorithm within a Phase 3 Pivotal Randomized Controlled Trial, presented by Rohan Khera, M.D. of Yale School of Medicine, U.S.

    • This showed the first deployment of a computer vision AI-ECG algorithm, operating directly on ECG data, as a digital biomarker in a RCT (ATTRibute-CM). An image-based AI-ECG algorithm demonstrated discrimination across clinical subgroups at baseline and detected differential longitudinal changes between acoramidis and placebo over 30 months. These findings support the potential role of AI-ECG derived prediction scores as a scalable digital biomarker in clinical trials and potential routine cardiovascular care
  • A Fully Decentralized, Patient-Led Digital Registry for ATTR-CM Integrating Multisystem EHR and Wearable Data: The DISCOVER-ATTR Study, presented by Aline Pedroso, Ph.D. of Yale School of Medicine

    • A fully decentralized, patient-led digital registry can successfully aggregate longitudinal multisystem electronic health records (EHR) data and wearable physiologic signals in ATTR-CM. Early results show substantial data yield and feasibility of longitudinal mapping of care trajectories and multimodal risk prediction, providing a blueprint for next-generation registries in rare cardiovascular diseases
  • Nationwide U.S. Federated Deployment of Artificial Intelligence for Multimodal Screening of ATTR Cardiomyopathy: First Multicenter Analysis from the TRACE-AI Network, presented by Bruno Batinica, MBChB of Yale School of Medicine

    • In this largest-ever deployment of AI-electrocardiogram and AI-Echo models for opportunistic retrospective screening of individuals at risk of ATTR-CM, we demonstrate a large burden of probable undiagnosed ATTR-CM with prognostic implications. Leveraging this framework for screening holds promise for enabling broad, timely identification of patients to maximize the overall benefit of new therapies

Acoramidis is approved as Attruby® by the U.S. FDA and is approved as BEYONTTRA® by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency, Swissmedic, the Swiss Agency for Therapeutic Products, the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, and the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) with all labels specifying near-complete stabilization of TTR.

Additional data on the benefit of Attruby for individuals with ATTR-CM is planned for future medical meetings, including Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2026, taking place in Phoenix, Arizona on October 9-12, 2026.

L3Harris Celebrates Successful Launch of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has contributed key elements to NASA’s successfully launched Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory designed to map the universe. The milestone also marks the culmination of more than a decade of engineering, innovation and collaboration between L3Harris and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

L3Harris provided the 2.4-meter Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA) for NASA, which serves as Roman’s eye. The company also supported the mission with radiation-hardened electronics, which keep the telescope in operation approximately 1 million miles from Earth.

“It’s a great source of pride for L3Harris that the optical eye we engineered will survey the cosmos 1,000 times faster than the Hubble Space Telescope and is expected to unveil billions of galaxies, hundreds of millions of stars and more than 100,000 distant worlds,” said Jeff Hanke, President, Space Systems, Space & Mission Systems, L3Harris. “This L3Harris technology is helping to rewrite our understanding of the universe.”

Roman’s L3Harris-built OTA will conduct three primary surveys, once operational, including peering through the Milky Way’s dense galactic center to build the largest astronomical catalog ever compiled. It will scan roughly 12% of the entire sky in under 18 months to measure how quickly the universe is expanding and study supernova explosions from up to 8 billion years ago.

This milestone continues L3Harris’ tradition of enabling space exploration, as its technology was integral to landmark missions, including the James Webb Space Telescope, Mars Perseverance and Curiosity rovers, the GPS satellite constellation and International Space Station systems.

New Subgroup Analysis from KARDIA-3 Phase 2 Study of Zilebesiran Highlights Potential to Provide Enhanced Blood Pressure Control –

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALNY), the leading RNAi therapeutics company, today announced new data at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 demonstrating the strength of RNAi-powered silencing for cardiovascular disease. The findings further reinforce the clinical profile of AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran) across transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) patient populations, treatment settings, and manifestations of disease. Additionally, the data expand the potential application of RNAi to uncontrolled hypertension, the world’s leading cause of cardiovascular disease.

“With the power of our RNAi therapeutics platform, we have the potential to make a transformational impact on cardiovascular care,” said Pushkal Garg, M.D., Chief Research and Development Officer at Alnylam. “The data presented at ESC demonstrate the consistency of clinical outcomes achieved by RNAi-powered TTR silencing, reinforcing our conviction in AMVUTTRA as a first-line treatment option for ATTR-CM. With zilebesiran, we have the potential to extend the precision and durability of RNAi to uncontrolled hypertension. Together, these programs reflect our ambition to change the course of cardiovascular disease for patients with high unmet need.”

Vutrisiran Analyses

HELIOS-B Prespecified Subgroup Analysis Demonstrates Consistent Clinical Benefit with Vutrisiran Across Contemporary ATTR-CM Treatment Settings

A late-breaking oral presentation featured a prespecified subgroup analysis of the HELIOS-B Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the treatment effect of vutrisiran according to baseline tafamidis use. The results were simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

Among 654 randomized and treated patients in HELIOS-B, 259 patients (40%) were receiving tafamidis at baseline. The treatment effect for vutrisiran on the primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and recurrent cardiovascular events through 33-36 months was consistent irrespective of baseline tafamidis use, suggesting clinical benefits across broad patient populations, including those receiving stabilizers.

All-cause mortality and additional cardiovascular outcomes showed a similar benefit among patients who were receiving tafamidis at baseline (“combination population”) and those who were not (“monotherapy population”). Across both groups, treatment with vutrisiran preserved functional capacity versus placebo, as measured by the Six-Minute Walk Test. Improvement in health status by vutrisiran versus placebo, as measured by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire-overall summary score, was observed in both the monotherapy and combination populations with an attenuated effect seen among patients receiving tafamidis at baseline. Safety outcomes were generally similar between combination vutrisiran and tafamidis versus tafamidis alone, and between vutrisiran monotherapy versus placebo. HELIOS-B was not powered to establish the benefit of vutrisiran specifically in the population of patients receiving background tafamidis at baseline. These findings reinforce the impact of vutrisiran across contemporary ATTR-CM treatment settings and warrant further evaluation of TTR silencing and stabilization combination strategies.

Additional HELIOS-B Analyses Highlight the Potential Impact of Vutrisiran on the Multisystemic Burden of ATTR-CM

Additional analyses presented at ESC further underscore the multisystemic burden of ATTR-CM and the importance of evaluating measures beyond traditional cardiac endpoints. Real-world evidence from the French National Health Data System showed that patients with ATTR-CM had a significantly higher burden of extra-cardiac manifestations across multiple organ systems compared with matched controls, and multiple manifestations were recorded years before ATTR-CM identification and tended to accumulate over time, suggesting a prolonged pre-diagnostic phase with evolving multisystem involvement.

A post hoc analysis of HELIOS-B evaluated the impact of treatment with vutrisiran on intrinsic capacity, a composite measure encompassing locomotion, cognition, vitality, psychological well-being and sensory function aligned with the World Health Organization Integrated Care for Older People framework. In the overall study population, compared with placebo, patients treated with vutrisiran demonstrated 25% less decline from baseline intrinsic capacity score and a 52% reduction in the risk of decline, suggesting that treatment with vutrisiran may help preserve functional reserve and support healthy aging in patients with ATTR-CM.

A separate post hoc safety analysis of HELIOS-B showed that patients treated with vutrisiran had fewer adverse events overall compared with placebo across the overall study population, monotherapy population and combination population. Among the most frequent system organ classes in the overall population, the lowest adverse event rate ratios were observed for gastrointestinal disorders and nervous system disorders, with 42% and 41% lower adverse event rates, respectively, with vutrisiran compared with placebo; eye disorders showed a 46% lower event rate with vutrisiran compared with placebo.

Pooled Phase 3 Data Reinforce Consistent Treatment Effects of RNAi-Powered TTR Silencing Across Sexes

A pooled analysis of 1,402 patients (203 females, 1,199 males) across four Phase 3 studies of vutrisiran and patisiran further reinforces the clinical benefits of RNAi-mediated TTR silencing across sexes. Despite sex-specific baseline differences in disease presentation, treatment effects were consistent between females and males across both ATTR-CM and the polyneuropathy of hereditary ATTR (hATTR-PN), including clinical, biomarker, functional, health status and echocardiographic measures.

“These data add to the deep and consistent evidence base supporting RNAi-mediated TTR silencing in ATTR-CM,” said Teresa Trenkwalder, M.D., Senior Physician, TUM University Hospital German Heart Center. “Across patient populations, treatment settings, and manifestations of disease, the analyses of vutrisiran demonstrate the clinical benefit that can be achieved by reducing TTR production at its source.”

Zilebesiran Analysis

The KARDIA-3 Phase 2 study evaluated zilebesiran, an investigational RNAi therapeutic with the potential to provide continuous control of blood pressure (BP) with biannual dosing, in patients with uncontrolled hypertension with high cardiovascular (CV) risk treated with two or more background antihypertensives. In patients who were receiving a background diuretic with an office systolic BP (SBP) ≥140 mmHg at baseline, zilebesiran achieved greater reductions in mean office and 24-hour ambulatory SBP than in the overall study population. Furthermore, patients treated with zilebesiran experienced SBP reductions across the diurnal cycle, including at nighttime. Similar findings were observed in patients who had impaired nocturnal dipping at baseline. These findings are potentially important given the association between elevated nighttime BP and CV risk. The safety profile in this post hoc subgroup was consistent with the broader zilebesiran Phase 2 program. These findings further support the evaluation of zilebesiran in the ongoing global Phase 3 CV outcomes trial, ZENITH.

Zilebesiran will be featured as part of Alnylam’s 10th “RNAi Roundtable” series on September 17, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. ET.

About AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran)

AMVUTTRA® (vutrisiran) demonstrates strength in RNAi-powered transthyretin (TTR) silencing, delivering rapid knockdown of TTR at the source of disease to address the underlying cause of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). In the HELIOS-B Phase 3 study, AMVUTTRA reduced the risk of all-cause mortality and recurrent CV events compared to placebo in the overall and monotherapy populations by 28.2% and 32.8%, respectively, through 36 months. It is the only TTR silencer approved for both the polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR-PN) and cardiomyopathy of wild-type or hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) in countries globally. AMVUTTRA is administered once quarterly via subcutaneous injection.

About Transthyretin Amyloidosis (ATTR)

Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is an underdiagnosed, rapidly progressive, debilitating, and fatal disease caused by pathogenic transthyretin (TTR) proteins, which accumulate as amyloid deposits in various parts of the body, including the nerves, heart, and gastrointestinal tract. Patients may present with polyneuropathy, cardiomyopathy, or both manifestations of disease. There are two different forms of ATTR – hereditary ATTR (hATTR), which is caused by a TTR gene variant, and wild-type ATTR (wtATTR), which occurs without a TTR gene variant. It is estimated that more than 500,000 people worldwide live with ATTR, with ~80% remaining undiagnosed.

About Zilebesiran

Zilebesiran is an investigational, subcutaneously administered RNAi therapeutic in development for cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction in hypertensive patients at high risk or with established CVD. Zilebesiran targets angiotensinogen (AGT), the most upstream precursor in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which plays a role in blood pressure (BP) regulation and impacts CV and renal health. Clinical trial results have shown the potential for zilebesiran to provide continuous control of BP with biannual dosing in a broad population of patients with hypertension. Zilebesiran is being evaluated in a Phase 3 CV outcomes trial, ZENITH, which will assess its ability to reduce the risk of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or heart failure events in patients with hypertension and established or at high risk of CVD, despite the use of at least two or more antihypertensives. The safety and efficacy of zilebesiran have not been established or evaluated by the FDA, EMA, or any other health authority. Zilebesiran is being co-developed and co-commercialized by Alnylam and Roche.

About Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health crisis and a leading cause of death worldwide, responsible for approximately 20 million deaths annually. Hypertension is the primary cause of and number one modifiable risk factor for CVD. An estimated one in three adults worldwide have hypertension, and despite wide availability of antihypertensives, up to 80% of all patients, and up to one-third of treated patients, do not reach and maintain blood pressure (BP) targets. Even when BP appears well-managed, continuous control of BP may remain suboptimal, leading to variability in BP during the 24-hour period and in the long-term, putting patients at greater risk of cardiovascular events and end organ damage.

About RNAi

RNAi (RNA interference) is a natural cellular process of gene silencing that represents one of the most promising and rapidly advancing frontiers in biology and drug development today. Its discovery has been heralded as “a major scientific breakthrough that happens once every decade or so,” and was recognized with the award of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. By harnessing the natural biological process of RNAi occurring in our cells, a new class of medicines known as RNAi therapeutics is now a reality. Small interfering RNA (siRNA), the molecules that mediate RNAi and comprise Alnylam’s RNAi therapeutic platform, function upstream of today’s medicines by potently silencing messenger RNA (mRNA) – the genetic precursors – that encode for disease-causing or disease pathway proteins, thus preventing them from being made. This is a revolutionary approach with the potential to transform the care of patients with genetic and other diseases.

Bristol Myers Squibb Presents Data Up to Five Years Reinforcing the Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Camzyos (mavacamten) in Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (oHCM) at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026

Bristol Myers Squibb Presents Data Up to Five Years Reinforcing the Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Camzyos (mavacamten) in Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (oHCM) at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026

New single-arm, open-label data extend the body of evidence supporting consistent clinical benefit and safety with Camzyos, adding to the longest-running clinical development experience for a cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI) in symptomatic oHCM

Additional presentations at ESC Congress build upon the established effectiveness and safety profile of Camzyos in real-world settings

PRINCETON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today presented results from the EXPLORER-LTE cohort of the MAVA-LTE study (NCT03723655) in a late-breaker presentation at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany. EXPLORER-LTE is the largest and longest evaluation of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) patients treated with Camzyos, the most-studied cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI) and a standard of care for patients with oHCM in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III. These data add to the understanding that the effects of Camzyos are sustained for up to five years with continuous, consistent treatment. Additional presentations at ESC Congress from COLLIGO-HCM, a global retrospective real-world data study, add to the well-established real-world evidence supporting Camzyos, helping inform treatment decisions for people living with the condition.

“The EXPLORER-LTE data up to five years reflect the sustained and clinically meaningful effects of Camzyos for patients living with symptomatic oHCM,” said Anjali T. Owens, MD, Medical Director of the Center for Inherited Cardiac Disease and an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. “For a chronic, progressive condition that requires ongoing treatment and monitoring, long-term evidence is essential to helping clinicians better understand how a therapy may benefit patients over time.”

EXPLORER-LTE is a single-arm, open-label, dose-blinded extension of the Phase 3 EXPLORER-HCM study, evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of Camzyos. A total of 231 patients who completed EXPLORER-HCM enrolled in the long-term extension study. A substantial portion of patients experienced sustained and clinically meaningful reduction of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, improved by at least one NYHA class and experienced notable improvements in echocardiographic measures and biomarkers. No new safety signals were observed that were not observed in the primary EXPLORER-HCM study.

At 252 weeks, Camzyos treatment resulted in mean changes from baseline at initiation of the long-term extension study of -38.7 mm Hg for resting LVOT gradient and -55.6 mm Hg in Valsalva LVOT gradient. Nearly all patients (97.4%) achieved a Valsalva LVOT gradient ≤ 30 mm Hg, which is the threshold for obstruction in patients with oHCM. 69.6% of patients improved by ≥1 NYHA class and 59.2% of patients were asymptomatic. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased by 10.2% and remained within the normal range. Safety findings were consistent with reported results from the primary EXPLORER-HCM study.

Additional data presented at ESC Congress further support Camzyos and our understanding of the impact of oHCM. Two presentations from COLLIGO-HCM, a global retrospective real-world data study, added to the well-established real-world evidence supporting Camzyos in clinical practice, with a real-world effectiveness and safety profile that is consistent across patients, providing symptom improvement and reduction in LVOT obstruction. A complementary analysis of a real-world observational registry study in Germany reinforces the effectiveness of Camzyos across geographic populations, with patients achieving NYHA class reductions consistent with previously reported real-world studies. These findings build on the existing evidence base for Camzyos and reinforce that the improvements seen in clinical trials are also achieved in real-world settings. An additional analysis of a healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) study in Sweden adds to the understanding of the broader disease burden of HCM and oHCM, including the increased impact of oHCM, and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and consistent care for patients living with oHCM.

“For people living with symptomatic oHCM, long-term and real-world evidence provides greater confidence in treatment decisions and a clearer understanding of what sustained therapy may mean over time,” said Cristian Massacesi, MD, executive vice president, chief medical officer and head of development, Bristol Myers Squibb. “As part of our dedication to advancing cardiovascular research, the data presented at ESC Congress add to the understanding and trust of Camzyos and its role in helping patients manage oHCM, a serious condition affecting daily activities for many patients.”

Camzyos is supported by the largest body of worldwide evidence in the CMI treatment class, reinforcing its role in transforming care for symptomatic oHCM by improving functional capacity and symptoms, allowing patients to be more active in their daily lives.

About EXPLORER-LTE

EXPLORER-LTE, a cohort of the MAVA-LTE study (NCT03723655), is a single-arm, open-label, dose-blinded extension of the Phase 3 EXPLORER-HCM study evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of Camzyos. A total of 231 patients in the United States, Europe and Israel who completed EXPLORER-HCM enrolled in the long-term extension study.

About CAMZYOS® (mavacamten)

CAMZYOS® (mavacamten) is the most extensively studied cardiac myosin inhibitor (CMI), approved by regulatory bodies in more than 60 countries and regions across five continents worldwide. In the U.S., CAMZYOS is indicated for the treatment of adults with symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms. In the European Union, CAMZYOS is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic (NYHA, class II-III) oHCM in adult patients.

A selective, reversible, allosteric inhibitor of cardiac myosin, CAMZYOS targets hypercontractility, the source of oHCM. Reduction in cardiac contractility with CAMZYOS treatment leads to reduced LVOT obstruction, improved energy consumption, and lower cardiac filling pressures in oHCM patients. These effects have translated to demonstrated symptom improvements in clinical studies for adults with symptomatic oHCM, enabling them to be more active in their daily lives. CAMZYOS can be used with or without background therapies, including for newly diagnosed patients.

CAMZYOS is supported by the largest body of worldwide evidence in the CMI treatment class, with up to five years of follow up across multiple long-term evidence and real-world studies, demonstrating the consistent and sustained benefits of CAMZYOS to improve symptoms and impact cardiac structure. CAMZYOS has been prescribed by more than 5,000 healthcare providers (HCPs) to over 25,000 patients in the U.S. alone.

CAMZYOS U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: RISK OF HEART FAILURE

CAMZYOS reduces left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and can cause heart failure due to systolic dysfunction.

Echocardiogram assessments of LVEF are required prior to and during treatment with CAMZYOS. Initiation of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Interrupt CAMZYOS if LVEF is <50% at any visit or if the patient experiences heart failure symptoms or worsening clinical status.

Concomitant use of CAMZYOS with certain cytochrome P450 inhibitors or discontinuation of certain cytochrome P450 inducers may increase the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction; therefore, the use of CAMZYOS is contraindicated with the following:

  • Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors
  • Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers

Because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction, CAMZYOS is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called CAMZYOS REMS PROGRAM.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

CAMZYOS is contraindicated with concomitant use of:

  • Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors

  • Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Heart Failure

CAMZYOS reduces systolic contraction and can cause heart failure or significantly reduce ventricular function. Patients who experience a serious intercurrent illness (e.g., serious infection) or arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation or other uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia) are at greater risk of developing systolic dysfunction and heart failure.

Assess the patient’s clinical status and LVEF prior to and regularly during treatment and adjust the CAMZYOS dose accordingly. New or worsening arrhythmia, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, leg edema, or elevations in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be signs and symptoms of heart failure and should also prompt an evaluation of cardiac function.

Asymptomatic LVEF reduction, intercurrent illnesses, and arrhythmias require additional dosing considerations.

Initiation of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Avoid concomitant use of CAMZYOS in patients on disopyramide, ranolazine, verapamil with a beta blocker, or diltiazem with a beta blocker as these medications and combinations increase the risk of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure symptoms and clinical experience is limited.

CYP450 Drug Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness

CAMZYOS is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes. Concomitant use of CAMZYOS and drugs that interact with these enzymes may lead to life-threatening drug interactions such as heart failure or loss of effectiveness.

Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions, including with over-the-counter medications (such as omeprazole, esomeprazole, or cimetidine). Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant products prior to and during CAMZYOS treatment.

CAMZYOS Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Program

CAMZYOS is only available through a restricted program called the CAMZYOS REMS Program because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Notable requirements of the CAMZYOS REMS Program include the following:

  • Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the REMS Program

  • Patients must enroll in the REMS Program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements

  • Pharmacies must be certified by enrolling in the REMS Program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive CAMZYOS

  • Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies

Further information is available at www.CAMZYOSREMS.com or by telephone at 1-833-628-7367.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

CAMZYOS may cause fetal toxicity when administered to a pregnant female, based on findings in animal studies. Confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential prior to treatment and advise patients to use effective contraception during treatment with CAMZYOS and for 4 months after the last dose. Combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) containing a combination of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone may be used with CAMZYOS. However, CAMZYOS may reduce the effectiveness of certain other CHCs. If these CHCs are used, advise patients to add nonhormonal contraception (such as condoms) during concomitant use and for 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, adverse reactions occurring in >5% of patients and more commonly in the CAMZYOS group than in the placebo group were dizziness (27% vs 18%) and syncope (6% vs 2%). There were no new adverse reactions identified in VALOR-HCM.

Effects on Systolic Function

In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, mean (SD) resting LVEF was 74% (6) at baseline in both treatment groups. Mean (SD) absolute change from baseline in LVEF was -4% (8) in the CAMZYOS group and 0% (7) in the placebo group over the 30-week treatment period. At Week 38, following an 8-week interruption of trial drug, mean LVEF was similar to baseline for both treatment groups. In the EXPLORER-HCM trial, 7 (6%) patients in the CAMZYOS group and 2 (2%) patients in the placebo group experienced reversible reductions in LVEF <50% (median 48%: range 35-49%) while on treatment. In all 7 patients treated with CAMZYOS, LVEF recovered following interruption of CAMZYOS.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Plasma Concentrations of CAMZYOS

CAMZYOS is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9. Inducers and inhibitors of CYP2C19 and moderate to strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 may affect the exposures of CAMZYOS.

Impact of Other Drugs on CAMZYOS:

  • Strong CYP2C19 Inhibitors: Concomitant use increases CAMZYOS exposure, which may increase the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Concomitant use is contraindicated.
  • Moderate to Strong CYP2C19 Inducers or Moderate to Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Concomitant use decreases CAMZYOS exposure, which may reduce CAMZYOS’ efficacy. The risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction may increase with discontinuation of these inducers as the levels of induced enzyme normalizes. Concomitant use is contraindicated.
  • Weak CYP2C19 Inhibitors or Moderate CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Concomitant use with a weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor increases CAMZYOS exposure, which may increase the risk of adverse drug reactions. Initiate CAMZYOS at the recommended starting dose of 5 mg orally once daily in patients who are on stable therapy with a weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Reduce dose of CAMZYOS by one level (ie, 15 to 10 mg, 10 to 5 mg, or 5 to 2.5 mg) in patients who are on CAMZYOS treatment and intend to initiate a weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor. Schedule clinical and echocardiographic assessment 4 weeks after inhibitor initiation, and do not up-titrate CAMZYOS until 12 weeks after inhibitor initiation. Avoid initiation of concomitant weak CYP2C19 and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients who are on stable treatment with 2.5 mg of CAMZYOS because a lower dose is not available. For short-term use (eg, 1 week), interrupt CAMZYOS for the duration of treatment with a weak inhibitor of CYP2C19 or a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4. CAMZYOS may be reinitiated at the previous dose immediately on discontinuation of concomitant therapy.
  • Moderate CYP2C19 Inhibitors or Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Concomitant use with a moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor increases CAMZYOS exposure, which may increase the risk of adverse drug reactions. Discontinuing use of a moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor or strong CYP3A4 inhibitor after long-term concomitant use may decrease CAMZYOS exposure, which may reduce CAMZYOS’ efficacy. Initiate CAMZYOS at a starting dosage of 2.5 mg orally once daily in patients who are on a stable therapy with a moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor or a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Reduce dose of CAMZYOS by one level (ie, 15 to 10 mg, 10 to 5 mg, or 5 to 2.5 mg) in patients who are on CAMZYOS and intend to initiate a moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor or a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Avoid initiation of concomitant moderate CYP2C19 and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients who are on a stable treatment with 2.5 mg of CAMZYOS because a lower dose is not available. An increase in dose of CAMZYOS may be needed if the moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19 or strong inhibitor of CYP3A4 is discontinued after long-term concomitant use. Monitor for new or worsening symptoms. For short-term use (ie, when CAMZYOS dose modification is not feasible), interrupt CAMZYOS for the duration of treatment with a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C19 or a strong inhibitor of CYP3A4. CAMZYOS may be reinitiated at the previous dose immediately on discontinuation of concomitant therapy.

Potential for CAMZYOS to Affect Plasma Concentrations of Other Drugs

CAMZYOS is an inducer of CYP3A4, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Concomitant use with CYP3A4, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 substrates may reduce plasma concentration of these drugs. Closely monitor when CAMZYOS is used with concomitant CYP3A4, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 substrates unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information.

Certain Combined Hormonal Contraceptives (CHCs): Progestin and ethinyl estradiol are CYP3A4 substrates. Concomitant use of CAMZYOS may decrease exposures of certain progestins, which may lead to contraceptive failure. CHCs containing a combination of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone may be used with CAMZYOS, but if other CHCs are used, advise patients to add nonhormonal contraception (such as condoms) or use an alternative contraceptive method that is not affected by CYP450 enzyme induction (eg, intrauterine system) during concomitant use and for 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS.

Drugs That Reduce Cardiac Contractility

Expect additive negative inotropic effects of CAMZYOS and other drugs that reduce cardiac contractility. Avoid concomitant use of CAMZYOS in patients on disopyramide, ranolazine, verapamil with a beta blocker, or diltiazem with a beta blocker as these medications and combinations increase the risk of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and heart failure symptoms and clinical experience is limited.

If concomitant therapy with a negative inotrope is initiated, or if the dose of a negative inotrope is increased, monitor LVEF closely until stable doses and clinical response have been achieved.

SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Pregnancy

Based on animal data, CAMZYOS may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female. Advise pregnant females about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to CAMZYOS during pregnancy. There is a pregnancy safety study for CAMZYOS. If CAMZYOS is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving CAMZYOS or within 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS, healthcare providers should report CAMZYOS exposure by contacting Bristol Myers Squibb at 1-800-721-5072 or www.bms.com.

Lactation

The presence of CAMZYOS in human or animal milk, the drug’s effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production are unknown. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for CAMZYOS and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from CAMZYOS or from the underlying maternal condition.

Females and Males of Reproductive Potential

Confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential prior to initiation of CAMZYOS. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with CAMZYOS and for 4 months after the last dose. CHCs containing a combination of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone may be used with CAMZYOS. However, CAMZYOS may reduce the effectiveness of certain other CHCs. If these CHCs are used, advise patients to add nonhormonal contraception (such as condoms) or use an alternative contraceptive method during concomitant use and for 4 months after the last dose of CAMZYOS.

Cytokinetics Announces Additional Results from ACACIA-HCM and MAPLE-HCM Presented in Late Breaking Clinical Trial Session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026

Additional Results from ACACIA-HCM Demonstrate Improvements in 
Cardiac Structure and Diastolic Function in Patients with Non-Obstructive HCM

New Analysis of MAPLE-HCM Finds Aficamten Outperformed Metoprolol Across Pre-Trial Treatment Groups in Patients with Obstructive HCM

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cytokinetics, Incorporated (Nasdaq: CYTK) today announced that additional results from ACACIA-HCM (Assessment Comparing Aficamten to Placebo on Cardiac Endpoints In Adults with Non-Obstructive HCM) and MAPLE-HCM (Metoprolol vs Aficamten in Patients with LVOT Obstruction on Exercise Capacity in HCM) were presented in a Late Breaking Clinical Session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany and simultaneously published in Circulation and the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Heart Failure, respectively.

“The findings from these additional analyses of ACACIA-HCM and MAPLE-HCM elaborate on the primary results from each trial and expand the body of evidence supporting the potential use of aficamten across the spectrum of HCM,” said Stephen Heitner, M.D., Cytokinetics’ Chief Medical Officer. “In particular, the additional results from ACACIA-HCM suggest that the benefits of aficamten in non-obstructive HCM extend beyond exercise capacity and symptom burden to also include improvements in wall thickness and diastolic function, pointing to the potential mechanisms by which aficamten is effective in these patients. Given the lack of approved therapies for non-obstructive HCM, these findings highlight the potential impact aficamten could have on this population independent from relief of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.”

ACACIA-HCM: Effect of

Aficamten

on Cardiac Structure and Function in Patients with Symptomatic Non-Obstructive HCM

Results from a pre-specified exploratory analysis of ACACIA-HCM, the Phase 3 clinical trial of aficamten in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM), were presented in a Late Breaking Clinical Trial Session and simultaneously published in Circulation.1

As previously reported, the primary results from ACACIA-HCM showed that treatment with aficamten was associated with significant improvements from baseline to Week 36 compared to placebo in both Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ-CSS) and maximal exercise performance (pVO2). This analysis showed that treatment with aficamten also demonstrated improvements in measures of cardiac structure and diastolic function at the time of the primary analysis (36 weeks) and at end of treatment (EOT) (up to 72 weeks; median time to end of treatment = 49 weeks).

At Week 36 and at EOT, aficamten significantly improved measures of diastolic function including peak E velocity (p=0.001 and p=0.034, respectively) and septal e’ velocity (p<0.001 for both), suggesting improvement in myocardial relaxation and enhanced early diastolic filling. Septal E/e’ showed a trend towards improvement at Week 36 (p=0.07), and a statistically significant improvement at EOT (p<0.001). Similarly, left atrial volume index (LAVI) showed a trend toward stabilization at Week 36 (p=0.06) and a statistically significant improvement with longer treatment exposure at EOT (p=0.022). These results in patients with nHCM show that aficamten improves diastolic function independent of reducing left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, providing support for the importance of diastolic function as the potential underlying mechanism for the improvements in functional capacity and symptom relief in this population.

Aficamten was associated with a modest but statistically significant (p<0.001) reduction in systolic function as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) which remained within normal range at EOT. Left ventricular wall thickness decreased by 0.2 cm at EOT (p<0.001) while left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic left ventricular volumes increased (p<0.001).

MAPLE-HCM:

Aficamten

vs.

Metoprolol

in Obstructive HCM According to Pre-Trial Treatment

Results of a post-hoc analysis from MAPLE-HCM, the Phase 3 clinical trial of aficamten compared to metoprolol in patients (n=175) with symptomatic obstructive HCM (oHCM), were presented in a Late Breaking Clinical Trial Session and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Heart Failure.2

As previously reported, the primary results of MAPLE-HCM demonstrated superiority of aficamten to metoprolol on pVO2 (change from baseline to Week 24, least squares mean (LSM) treatment difference (SE), +2.3 (0.39) mL/kg/min, p<0.001). This post-hoc analysis evaluated the effect of treatment with aficamten or metoprolol on the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints according to pre-trial medical therapy.

At screening, 123 patients were taking a beta blocker while 52 patients were not taking a beta blocker. Of the 52 patients not taking a beta blocker at screening, 22 patients had received no standard of care therapy for at least 12 months before screening. Prior to randomization, all patients underwent a two-week washout period of standard of care therapy.

Independent of pre-trial medical therapy, aficamten demonstrated a consistent treatment effect across multiple efficacy endpoints compared with metoprolol. Aficamten improved pVO2 compared with metoprolol for patients not previously taking beta blockers (LSM difference +3.1 mL/kg/min, p<0.001), as well as for patients previously taking beta blockers (LSM difference +1.9 mL/kg/min, p<0.001) with no difference between groups in the improvement (interaction p = 0.133).

Similarly, compared to metoprolol, aficamten significantly improved key secondary endpoints independent of pre-trial treatment, including KCCQ-CSS and New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class, Valsalva left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOT-G) and NT-proBNP.

There were no differences in the safety profile of aficamten, including the rates of serious adverse events, between pre-trial treatment groups.

About ACACIA-HCM

ACACIA-HCM was a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to evaluate the effect of aficamten compared to placebo in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM). The dual primary endpoint was the change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) Clinical Summary Score and change in maximal exercise performance (peak VO2) from baseline to Week 36.

Secondary endpoints included the proportion of participants with ≥1 class improvement in NYHA functional class, and changes in the composite z-score of two cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters of sub-maximal exercise performance (VE/VCO2 and pVO2), NT-proBNP, and left atrial volume index (LAVI) from baseline to Week 36. After 36 weeks of treatment, participants continued treatment with aficamten or placebo for up to 72 weeks to evaluate additional secondary and exploration analyses including the time to first cardiovascular event. The trial (outside Japan) concluded when at least 200 patients completed 52 weeks of treatment.

ACACIA-HCM randomized and treated 517 participants (outside Japan) on a 1:1 basis with aficamten or placebo. Randomization was stratified by persistent atrial fibrillation and presence of intracavitary obstruction. At screening, participants enrolled in ACACIA-HCM were required to have resting left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOT-G) <30 mmHg and post-Valsalva LVOT-G <50 mmHg in addition to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥60%, respiratory exchange ratio (RER) ≥1.00 and peak VO2 ≤90% predicted, NT-proBNP ≥300 pg/mL or ≥900 pg/mL if atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter were present at screening, NYHA functional class II or III and KCCQ Clinical Summary Score ≤85.

Each patient received up to four escalating doses of aficamten or placebo based on echocardiographic guidance. Participants who received aficamten began with 5 mg dosed once daily. At weeks 2, 4 and 6 participants received an echocardiogram to determine if they would be up-titrated to escalating doses of 10, 15 or 20 mg. Dose escalation occurred only if a participant had an LVEF ≥60%. Participants who did not meet escalation criteria continued the same dose or were down-titrated if their LVEF was <50%.

About MAPLE-HCM

MAPLE-HCM was a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind active-comparator clinical trial of aficamten compared to metoprolol in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM (oHCM). The primary endpoint was the change in peak oxygen uptake (pVO2) from baseline to Week 24 measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Secondary endpoints include the change from baseline to Week 24 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) score, the proportion of patients with ≥1 class improvement in New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, and changes in left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left atrial volume index (LAVI), post-Valsalva left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOT-G) and NT-proBNP.

MAPLE-HCM enrolled 175 patients, randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive aficamten or metoprolol as monotherapy in a double-blind, double dummy fashion. Randomization was stratified by CPET exercise modality (treadmill or bicycle) and recently diagnosed versus chronic obstructive HCM. At screening, patients enrolled in MAPLE-HCM had a resting LVOT-G ≥30 mmHg and/or post-Valsalva LVOT-G ≥50 mmHg in addition to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 60%, respiratory exchange ratio (RER) ≥ 1.05 and pVO2 <100% predicted, NYHA functional class II or III and a KCCQ Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ-CSS) score ≥ 35 and ≤ 90. Following the initial screening visit, all participants on standard of care (SOC) therapy underwent a washout period of up to 14 days to wean from SOC therapy, followed by an additional 7 days with no SOC therapy prior to the second screening visit. Each patient received up to four escalating doses of aficamten or metoprolol based on echocardiographic guidance as well as a matching placebo for the alternate therapy.

About MYQORZO® (

aficamten

)

MYQORZO® (aficamten) is a cardiac myosin inhibitor approved in the U.S., China, European Union and United Kingdom for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). In patients with oHCM, myosin inhibition with MYQORZO reduces cardiac contractility and consequently, left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. MYQORZO was engineered to achieve a predictable exposure response, rapid onset of action and reversibility.3

Aficamten is also under clinical investigation in CEDAR-HCM in a pediatric population with oHCM. Safety and efficacy of aficamten have not been established in a pediatric patient population. In addition, aficamten is being studied in FOREST-HCM, an open-label extension clinical study.

INDICATION

MYQORZO is indicated for the treatment of adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: RISK OF HEART FAILURE

MYQORZO reduces left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and can cause heart failure due to systolic dysfunction.

Echocardiogram assessments are required prior to and during treatment with MYQORZO to monitor for systolic dysfunction. Initiation of MYQORZO in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Decrease the dose of MYQORZO if LVEF is <50% and ≥40%. Interrupt the dose of MYQORZO if LVEF <40% or if the patient experiences heart failure symptoms or worsening clinical status due to systolic dysfunction

.

Because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction, MYQORZO is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the MYQORZO REMS Program.



CONTRAINDICATIONS

MYQORZO is contraindicated with concomitant use of rifampin.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Heart Failure

MYQORZO reduces cardiac contractility, which can reduce LVEF and cause heart failure.
Patients who experience a serious intercurrent illness (eg, serious infection) or arrhythmia (eg, new or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation) may be at greater risk of developing systolic dysfunction and heart failure.

Assess patients’ clinical status and LVEF prior to and during treatment and adjust the MYQORZO dose accordingly. New or worsening arrhythmia, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, leg edema, or elevations in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide may be signs and symptoms of heart failure.

Initiation of MYQORZO in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended.

MYQORZO REMS Program

MYQORZO is available only through a restricted program called the MYQORZO REMS Program, because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction.

Notable requirements of the MYQORZO REMS Program include:

  • Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the MYQORZO REMS Program
  • Patients must enroll in the MYQORZO REMS Program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements
  • Pharmacies must be certified by enrolling in the MYQORZO REMS Program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive MYQORZO
  • Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies

Further information is available at www.MYQORZOREMS.com, or at 1-844-285-7367.

Cytochrome P450 Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness

MYQORZO is metabolized primarily by CYP2C9, and to a lesser extent by CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19 enzymes. Initiation of medications that inhibit multiple P450 pathways of MYQORZO elimination (eg, fluconazole, voriconazole, or fluvoxamine) or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors, and discontinuation of moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers may lead to increased blood concentrations of aficamten and increase the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Conversely, initiation of medications that induce P450 pathways of MYQORZO (eg, rifampin, moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers) may lead to decreased blood concentrations of aficamten and potential loss of effectiveness. Assess LVEF 2 to 8 weeks after initiation of such inhibitors or after discontinuation of such inducers and adjust the dose of MYQORZO accordingly.

Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions. Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant medications prior to and during MYQORZO treatment.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Hypertension (8% vs 2%) was the only adverse reaction occurring in >5% of patients and more commonly on MYQORZO than on placebo in the pivotal trial.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

MYQORZO is indicated for the treatment of adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms.

About Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick. HCM can be obstructive, when thickened muscle blocks blood flow, or non-obstructive, when blood flow is not blocked but heart function is still affected. In obstructive HCM, the thickening of cardiac muscle leads to the inside of the left ventricle becoming smaller, stiffer and less able to relax and fill with blood. Ultimately, HCM limits the heart’s pumping function, leading to reduced exercise capacity and a variety of symptoms.

HCM is the most common monogenic inherited cardiovascular disorder, affecting approximately 1 out of 350 individuals worldwide.4

Approximately half of patients with HCM have obstructive HCM (oHCM) and half have non-obstructive HCM (nHCM).5

People with HCM are at high risk of also developing cardiovascular complications including atrial fibrillation, stroke and mitral valve disease.6 People with HCM are at risk for potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias and it is one of the leading causes of sudden cardiac death in younger people or athletes.7 A subset of patients with HCM are at high risk of progressive disease leading to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure necessitating cardiac transplantation.

Tenax Therapeutics Announces Presentation of Phase 3 LEVEL Results in Late-Breaking Scientific Sessions at ESC Congress 2026

In patients with a baseline 6MWD below the trial median of 333 meters, treatment with TNX-103 resulted in a 26.3-meter improvement compared to placebo (p = 0.0112)

In the same patient population, TNX-103 produced a 47% reduction in NT-proBNP (p < 0.0001) and a 4.9 mmHg reduction in RVSP (p = 0.009) compared to placebo

With full statistics analysis now complete, Company confirms TNX-103’s biological effects include marked reductions in pulmonary artery pressure and NT-proBNP, a biomarker reflecting increased cardiac wall stress. Results will inform protocol population enrichment and changes to overall registrational path

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tenax Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TENX) (“Tenax” or “Tenax Therapeutics” or the “Company”) today announced that additional results from the Phase 3 LEVEL clinical trial evaluating TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) were presented in a Late-Breaking Clinical Science session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026 in Munich, Germany.

Data confirmed findings from prespecified analyses which identified a favorable treatment effect in patients with a lower baseline 6MWD, supported by consistent changes in prespecified endpoints measuring cardiac stress and pulmonary pressures.

“The independent analysis of LEVEL data we presented today sharpens what the earlier topline results initially indicated: patients with the lowest baseline walking distance had the greatest improvement, on top of state-of-the-art background therapy. What was particularly striking was that even patients who did not show a significant improvement in exercise capacity had the same magnitude of reduction in cardiac wall stress and pulmonary artery pressures, changes that correspond to a reduction in heart failure hospitalizations over longer follow-up,” said Sanjiv Shah, MD, Director of the HFpEF Program at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and LEVEL’s Principal Investigator. “The magnitude of the reduction in NT-proBNP and the accompanying lowering of pulmonary pressure indicate that TNX-103 may provide clinical benefit to the majority of patients with PH-HFpEF independent of its effect on walk distance. The data are compelling and consistently point toward a potential therapeutic benefit in PH-HFpEF patients.”

“The full set of prespecified analyses we completed in the last week, and Dr. Shah’s presentation of the results today, continue to emphasize that the treatment effect of TNX-103 is concentrated in patients walking less than the trial median of 333 meters at baseline. The finding of biologic efficacy in the majority of patients in LEVEL validates that the unique mechanism of action demonstrated in the Phase 2 HELP study can address patient function. That gives us conviction and a clear strategy to enrich LEVEL-2 for a study population of patients in whom the treatment effect is demonstrable,” said Stuart Rich, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Tenax Therapeutics. “LEVEL has been enormously informative in shaping what comes next, and we intend to move quickly on behalf of patients who currently have no approved treatment options.”

Key Takeaways from Late-Breaking Presentation

The Phase 3 LEVEL clinical trial (NCT05983250) randomized 241 patients with PH-HFpEF across 41 sites in the United States and Canada. In this population, the primary endpoint of change in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) at Week 12 did not achieve statistical significance, nor did the key secondary endpoint, change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire total symptom score (KCCQ-TSS); however, marked improvements were noted in exploratory endpoints that demonstrate the biologic effects of the therapy, notably N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP).

Several key observations made in the trial, and their potential influence on the future development of levosimendan for patients with pulmonary hypertension and heart failure, were emphasized:

  • Across the overall trial population (n = 241), TNX-103 was safe and well tolerated, with no significant arrhythmias.
  • This population of older, symptomatic patients presented with multiple comorbidities, and was well-treated on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT): across these categories of increasing disease severity, with emphasis placed on atrial fibrillation and exercise tolerance, and increasing therapeutic intervention like MRAs/diuretics, and SGLT-2 inhibitors, levosimendan’s benefit appears to increase.
  • An inverse linear relationship between baseline 6MWD and treatment effect was described and demonstrated not to be explained by regression to the mean. Patients in LEVEL whose baseline 6MWD match those reported in HELP and the recent CADENCE trial with sotatercept (274-285 meters) demonstrated an approximate 20-meter placebo-adjusted improvement in 6MWD. The overall trial population in LEVEL, however, had a median about 50-60 meters higher than in these previous PH-HFpEF trials.
  • Prognostic implications include the impact of levosimendan on NT-proBNP compared to multiple classes of heart failure therapies, including some currently being tested, with commentary of the magnitude of effect in relation to heart failure events. As noted in the presentation, no data from a Phase 3 randomized trial has demonstrated even half the impact on this key indicator of cardiac wall stress, when compared to placebo. In an analysis of the relationship between heart failure outcomes and NT-proBNP change across these classes, Dr. Shah noted that the magnitude of levosimendan’s effect on cardiac wall stress suggests potential impact on outcomes in these HFpEF patients.
  • In addition to RVSP, many echocardiographic endpoints show improvement with levosimendan compared to placebo. Across each domain of echocardiography, approximately 20 echocardiographic parameters improved, even when adjusting for multiple comparisons.

Dr. Shah referenced these results in the prespecified subgroup of patients with a baseline 6MWD below the trial median of 333 meters (n = 119), at Week 12:

  • 6MWD: least-squares mean change was +23.7 meters on TNX-103 versus −2.6 meters on placebo; treatment difference of +26.3 meters (p = 0.0112).
  • KCCQ-TSS: change was +9.8 points on TNX-103 versus +4.1 points on placebo; a 5-point threshold is generally considered clinically meaningful.
  • RVSP: change of −4.4 mmHg on TNX-103 versus +0.5 mmHg on placebo; treatment difference −4.9 mmHg (p = 0.009). (post-hoc analysis)
  • NT-proBNP: geometric least-squares mean ratio of 0.53 from baseline on TNX-103 (p < 0.0001), corresponding to a 47% reduction compared to placebo. (post-hoc analysis)

The Company intends that the LEVEL-2 population be enriched on the basis of clear evidence provided by the LEVEL results, and in a manner consistent with longstanding FDA guidance for sponsors. Tenax will continue to focus on the global development of this product for patients with high unmet need.

About Levosimendan (TNX-101, TNX-102, TNX-103)

Levosimendan is a novel, first-in-class K-ATP channel activator/calcium sensitizer currently being evaluated to treat pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). Levosimendan was first developed for intravenous use in hospitalized patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, and it has received market authorization in 60 countries in this indication, although it is not available in the United States or Canada. Tenax’s Phase 2 HELP study, including its open-label extension stage, demonstrated the potential of IV (TNX-101) and oral (TNX-103) levosimendan to bring durable improvements in exercise capacity and quality of life, as well as other clinical assessments, in patients with PH-HFpEF. TNX-103 (oral levosimendan) is currently being evaluated in LEVEL-2, a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients with PH-HFpEF.
