Frequently asked questions about MYK-491

What is MYK-491 used for?

MYK-491 is an investigational small molecule being developed for dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. It is a Phase 1 candidate and has not been approved for any indication. Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY) is the developer. Clinical work so far has focused on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in these cardiovascular conditions.

Who makes MYK-491?

MYK-491 is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BMY. The company holds the asset and has sponsored the clinical studies conducted to date. No other developer or partnership is associated with MYK-491 in the available program information.

What phase is MYK-491 in?

MYK-491 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational small molecule and is not approved for marketing in any country. The program has completed its Phase 1 studies, and no active trials are currently listed. Further development would be required before any regulatory submission could be considered.

What clinical trials is MYK-491 in?

Two completed Phase 1 trials have evaluated MYK-491. NCT03062956 was a single ascending dose study assessing safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in 64 healthy volunteers in Australia. NCT03447990 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 52 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction or dilated cardiomyopathy, run across the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

Is MYK-491 FDA approved?

No. MYK-491 is an investigational drug in Phase 1 development and has not received FDA approval. Both listed studies are early-stage Phase 1 trials focused on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics rather than pivotal efficacy endpoints. Approval would require substantially later-stage clinical testing that has not been reported for this asset.

How many patients have been studied with MYK-491?

Across the two completed Phase 1 trials, 116 participants have been enrolled in MYK-491 studies. NCT03062956 enrolled 64 healthy volunteers, and NCT03447990 enrolled 52 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction or dilated cardiomyopathy. The patient study was randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled, and participants were at least 18 years of age.
