Frequently asked questions about Danicamtiv

What is Danicamtiv?

Danicamtiv is an investigational small molecule developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (ticker: BMY) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. It is a cardiac myosin activator and remains in Phase 1 clinical development. It has not been approved by the FDA.

What is Danicamtiv used for in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction?

Danicamtiv is being studied for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, a condition in which the heart muscle pumps blood less effectively. The clinical work to date has focused on how the drug behaves in participants with stable heart failure rather than on confirmatory efficacy outcomes.

What does Danicamtiv target?

Danicamtiv targets cardiac myosin proteins, specifically MYH7, MYH6, MYH7B, MYL3, MYL2, and MYL7. It acts as an activator of these targets. By acting on cardiac myosin, the drug is designed to influence the contractile machinery of heart muscle cells.

Who makes Danicamtiv?

Danicamtiv is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker BMY. The company is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the drug in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

What phase is Danicamtiv in?

Danicamtiv is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. The completed Phase 1 study enrolled 13 participants with stable heart failure and was conducted in the United States.

What clinical trials is Danicamtiv in?

Danicamtiv has been evaluated in one clinical trial, NCT05952089, titled a study to assess the effect of danicamtiv on the drug levels of midazolam in participants with stable heart failure. That Phase 1 trial is completed, enrolled 13 participants, and was an uncontrolled study in the United States.
