A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sotagliflozin in Symptomatic Obstructive and Non-obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Study Details | Source

  • Sponsor: Lexicon Pharmaceuticals
  • The main purpose of the study is to determine the changes in symptoms and functional limitations in participants with symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) treated with sotagliflozin as compared to placebo.
  • Interventions:
    • Drug: Sotagliflozin
    • Drug: Placebo
  • Primary Outcomes Measures:
    • Change from Baseline to Week 26 in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ CSS)
    • KCCQ is a 23-item, self-administered questionnaire that measure the participant's perception of their health status, including their heart failure (HF) symptoms, impact on physical and social function and how their HF impacts the quality of life. KCCQ quantifies 7 domains: physical limitations (6 items), symptom stability (1 item), symptom frequency (4 items), symptom burden (3 items), self-efficacy (2 items), quality of life (3 items) and social limitations (4 items). Scores are generated for each domain and scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the worst and 100 the best possible status. Higher scores reflect better health status. Time Frame - Baseline to Week 26

A Study to Evaluate Mavacamten in Adults With Symptomatic Obstructive HCM Who Are Eligible for Septal Reduction Therapy (VALOR-HCM)

Study Details | Source

  • Sponsor: Bristol-Myers Squibb
  • This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study in the United States (U.S.) that will evaluate the effect of mavacamten treatment on reducing the number of septal reduction therapy (SRT) procedures performed in subjects with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM [also known as HOCM]) who are eligible for SRT based on ACCF/AHA 2011 and/or ESC 2014 guidelines.
  • Interventions:
    • Drug: Mavacamten
    • Drug: Placebo
  • Primary Outcomes Measures:
    • Composite of Decision to Proceed With Septal Reduction Therapy (SRT) and SRT Guideline Eligible at Week 16
    • Participants who decided to proceed with SRT or were eligible for SRT at week 16. Participants with missing assessments were classified as meeting the primary endpoint (did not improve).
    • SRT eligibility using the New York Heart Association Functional Class (NYHA) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) assessments per the 2011 ACCF/AHA guideline clinical and hemodynamic criterion are below:
      • NYHA Class III or IV/ NYHA Class II with exertion-induced syncope/near syncope, AND
      • Dynamic LVOT gradient at rest or with provocation >= 50 mmHg.
    • NYHA Class II at week 16, the following rules will be applied:
      • NYHA Class II with history of exertional syncope/ syncope at baseline and at W16 is still NYHA Class II, they remain SRT eligible IF their maximal LVOT gradient is ≥ 50mmHg
      • NYHA Class III/IV at baseline and at W16 has improved to Class II, they are no longer SRT eligible UNLESS they have AE of exertional syncope or pre-syncope during the 16 weeks. Time Frame - Week 16.
