As previously reported, after a median duration of follow-up of 21.8 months, the trial demonstrated a statistically significant effect of treatment with <em>omecamtiv mecarbil <\/em>to reduce risk of the primary composite endpoint of heart failure events (heart failure hospitalization and other urgent treatment for heart failure) or cardiovascular (CV) death compared to placebo in patients treated with standard of care (hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.86, 0.99; p=0.025). No reduction in the secondary endpoint of time to CV death was observed in the overall population<sup>1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The effect of <em>omecamtiv mecarbil<\/em> on the primary composite endpoint in GALACTIC-HF was consistent across most prespecified subgroups and with a potentially greater treatment effect suggested in patients with a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF \u226428%, n=4,456, hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% CI 0.77, 0.92; interaction p=0.003). Supplemental analyses of this lower ejection fraction subgroup in GALACTIC-HF presented at CVCT showed that this potentially greater treatment effect in patients who received <em>omecamtiv<\/em><em>mecarbil<\/em> was consistently observed in patients with characteristics that may indicate advanced heart failure status, such as being hospitalized within the last 3 months (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74 \u2013 0.93, p=0.001), having New York Association Class III or IV heart failure (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.71 \u2013 0.90, p&lt;0.001), higher N-terminal-pro brain natriuretic peptide levels (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.69 \u2013 0.87, p&lt;0.001), and lower blood pressures (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.70 \u2013 0.92, p=0.002). The absolute risk reductions (ARR) ranged from 5.2% to 8.1% in these subgroups as compared to the ARR of 2.1% observed in the overall population.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Additionally, a supplemental analysis of the continuous relationship between ejection fraction and the hazard ratio for the primary composite endpoint in GALACTIC-HF suggested a potentially stronger treatment effect of <em>omecamtiv mecarbil <\/em>in patients with increasingly lower ejection fractions<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A photo accompanying this announcement is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=N8P6-SWv84NohP6cvBJOvrWN2LM4DREQ8AQymS6OpSn8_LGqaCKV743IYVGsJQWmlwZfk0_ADaHnsCWe1ezXQEGxVKCXkr4a99UsJS3mdtvwdGmCgn5MrTiAFV_ZIf1FMBYysOfftk3SVN81OvV5S_H2J0_eD22gZZsQaSQsE8Xp-nUNc-IUA8xwVUXOcx1v2LelvjgVF_uIlv8tluXCi30QMdXeJSHRyhrDCiWrc9kgin8OUjpfGbtIZoB0ddKLFjSe844jYb3z1twO6g5Jew==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/a6f54df3-faaf-4c79-9ab4-9297bf42fbff<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThese new data from GALACTIC-HF reinforce the relationship between the primary pharmacologic effect of <em>omecamtiv mecarbil<\/em> to improve cardiac systolic function and its impact on heart failure outcomes, as it stands to reason that those with more impaired function may benefit most from this novel mechanism therapy,\u201d said Fady I.

Patients were randomized to either oral placebo or a starting dose of 25 mg <em>omecamtiv mecarbil <\/em>twice daily (maintenance dose of 50 mg, 37.5 mg, or 25 mg twice daily) guided by pharmacokinetic-guided dose selection. A blood test, the QMS <em>Omecamtiv Mecarbil<\/em> Immunoassay (the OM Test) was used to measure plasma levels of <em>omecamtiv mecarbil<\/em> in each patient in order to guide selection of the appropriate maintenance dose.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The primary composite endpoint of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven trial was time to CV death or first heart failure event (heart failure hospitalization and other urgent treatment for heart failure). Secondary endpoints were: time to CV death, patient reported outcomes (measured by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [KCCQ] Total Symptom Score [TSS]), time to first heart failure hospitalization and time to all-cause death. A first primary endpoint event occurred in 1,523 of 4,120 patients (37.0%) in the <em>omecamtiv mecarbil<\/em> group and in 1,607 of 4,112 patients (39.1%) in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.86, 0.99; p=0.025). No reduction in the secondary endpoint of time to CV death was observed in the overall population.
