Detailed Description

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of omecamtiv mecarbil in reducing the risk of the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death, first heart failure (HF) event, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, cardiac transplantation, and stroke in patients with symptomatic heart failure with severely reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to investigational product (IP) - omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo. The study is event-driven and will conclude when at least 850 participants experience a HF event or CV death, whichever comes first. An interim analysis for futility and efficacy based on the primary composite endpoint is planned when approximately 570 (67%) of the planned 850 first HF events or CV deaths are observed. Estimated duration of participation: Up to 3 years.

Notice

Study information shown on this site is derived from ClinicalTrials.gov (a public registry operated by the National Institutes of Health). The listing of studies provided is not certain to be all studies for which you might be eligible.
