Aficamten in the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

Future Cardiol
Aficamten is a novel cardiac myosin inhibitor that has completed a Phase III trial for the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Aficamten was developed to optimize pharmacokinetic properties and clinical tolerability relative to its predecessor, mavacamten.

Precision medicine in complex diseases—Molecular subgrouping for improved prediction and treatment stratification

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 294, Issue 4, Page 378-396, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Complex diseases are caused by a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors and comprise common noncommunicable diseases, including allergies, cardiovascular disease, and psychiatric and metabolic disorders. More than 25% of Europeans suffer from a complex disease, and together these diseases account for 70% of all deaths ...

A pathogenic nonsense mutation (c.1522C>T) of the MYBPC3 gene is implicated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 2711-2717, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetically and clinically heterogeneous cardiomyopathy, is commonly caused by mutations in the MYBPC3 gene or other various sarcomeric genes. HCM patients carrying sarcomeric gene mutations may experience an asymptomatic period at early stage but still possess an escalating risk of developing adverse ...

Pharmacokinetics of a single dose of Aficamten (CK‐274) on cardiac contractility in a A31P MYBPC3 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cat model

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 52-61, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent cardiac disease in cats and lacks efficacious preclinical pharmacologic intervention, prompting investigation of novel therapies. Genetic mutations encoding sarcomeric proteins are implicated in the development of HCM and small molecule myosin inhibitors are an emerging class of ...

Is mavacamten superior to aficamten for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? A frequentist network meta-analysis [PDF]

Exploration of Cardiology
Background: Myosin inhibitors have been shown to improve exercise capacity and symptoms, as well as reduce the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient. This study explores the efficacy of mavacamten versus aficamten in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the impact of mavacamten

Therapeutic Advances in Chronic Disease, 2022
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common genetic disorder characterised by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is an integral component of the disease, often resulting in significant symptoms, but ...

Effect of Hepatic Impairment or Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Aficamten. [PDF]

Clin Pharmacokinet
Aficamten, a small-molecule, selective cardiac myosin inhibitor, is under development for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM). Aficamten is primarily eliminated by hepatic metabolism with renal excretion playing a minor role.
