At the time of the current analysis, 64 patients had completed a baseline CMR, including 36 patients who had completed a follow-up CMR at 72 weeks, and 28 patients who had completed a follow-up CMR at 48 weeks. Longer-term treatment with <em>aficamten<\/em> resulted in statistically significant improvements (mean \u00b1SD) in measures of cardiac structure and function including left ventricular mass index (-9.8 g\/m2 \u00b118.1, p&lt;0.0001), maximum left ventricular septal wall thickness (-2.4 mm \u00b12.3, p&lt;0.0001), left atrial volume (-17.9 ml \u00b128.3, p&lt;0.0001) and mitral regurgitant volume (-18.1 ml \u00b119.2, p&lt;0.0001) and fraction (-14.2% \u00b115.6, p&lt;0.0001).

In patients randomized to placebo in SEQUOIA-HCM, the change in KCCQ-OSS was evaluated from baseline to Week 24 and following blinded treatment withdrawal from Week 24 to Week 28. Among the 140 (47%) patients on placebo, the median KCCQ-OSS at baseline was 67.2 (95% CI: 62.9, 71.5) and the median improvement at Week 24 was 5.7 points (95% CI: 3.2, 8.3; p&lt;0.01). After withdrawal from Week 24 to Week 28, the median score decreased by only 2.1 points (95% CI: -3.5, -0.7; p&lt;0.01). These results suggest that about one-third of the improvement observed in KCCQ-OSS in patients receiving placebo was due to a placebo effect, further suggesting that other changes in health status following treatment with placebo may be due to other factors involved in clinical trial participation, such as receiving treatment at expert centers and changes in patient behavior.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Association Between Race\/Ethnicity and Outcomes in Patients with Non-Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (1251-173)<br \/><\/strong><br \/>\n        <em>Poster Presentation, March 31, 2025, 10:30-11:30 AM CT, South Hall.

This retrospective cohort study included adult patients diagnosed with non-obstructive HCM from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2021. Of the 9,842 patients included, 74.2% were non-Hispanic white, 19.5% were non-Hispanic Black\/African American, 4.2% were Hispanic and 2.1% were non-Hispanic Asian. White patients had greater rates of atrial fibrillation and cardiovascular hospitalization compared to Asian and Hispanic patients. Compared to white patients, Black patients had increased rates of stroke (risk ratio [RR] 1.76), heart failure (RR 1.73), ventricular tachycardia (RR 1.24), sudden cardiac arrest (RR 1.90), cardiovascular hospitalization (RR 1.42) and cardiovascular rehospitalization (RR 1.31) and a lower rate of atrial fibrillation (RR 0.74; all p&lt;0.001). All-cause mortality was highest among Black patients (p&lt;0.001). Compared to white patients, non-Hispanic Black patients had the highest rate of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality, while Asian and Hispanic patients experienced lower rates.

The thickening of cardiac muscle leads to the inside of the left ventricle becoming smaller and stiffer, and thus the ventricle becomes less able to relax and fill with blood. This ultimately limits the heart\u2019s pumping function, resulting in reduced exercise capacity and symptoms including chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or fainting during physical activity. HCM is the most common monogenic inherited cardiovascular disorder, with approximately 280,000 patients diagnosed, however, there are an estimated 400,000-800,000 additional patients who remain undiagnosed in the U.S.<sup>2,3,4<\/sup> Two-thirds of patients with HCM have obstructive HCM (oHCM), where the thickening of the cardiac muscle leads to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction, while one-third have non-obstructive HCM (nHCM), where blood flow isn\u2019t impacted, but the heart muscle is still thickened. People with HCM are at high risk of also developing cardiovascular complications including atrial fibrillation, stroke and mitral valve disease.<sup>5<\/sup> 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.<sup>6<\/sup> A subset of patients with HCM are at high risk of progressive disease leading to dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure necessitating cardiac transplantation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Cytokinetics <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Cytokinetics is a leading muscle biology specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing muscle biology-directed drug candidates as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised.
