Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from baseline in Valsalva left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) (VLVOT) gradient
At Week 28
Change From Baseline in KCCQ-23 CSS at Week 48
From First dose to week 48

The KCCQ-23 is a 23-item, self-administered questionnaire that measures the impact of a participant's cardiovascular disease or its treatment on 6 distinct domains using a 2-week recall period: symptoms/signs, physical limitation, quality of life (QoL), social limitations, self-efficacy, and symptom stability. The KCCQ 23 Clinical Summary Score (CSS) is derived from the Total Symptom Score (TSS) and the Physical Limitations (PL) score of the KCCQ 23. The CSS, TSS, and the PL score range from 0 to 100 with higher scores representing less severe symptoms and/or physical limitations. The CSS is a mean of the TSS and the PL score. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to the first dose of the study treatment if both the time of the measurement and the time of first dose are available otherwise it is the last non-missing assessment on or prior to the first dose of the study treatment.

Change From Baseline in pVO2 at Week 48
From First dose to week 48

Clinically meaningful mean change from baseline(1.4ml/kg/min) of pVO2 at Week 48.

Change From Baseline in Post-exercise Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT) Peak Gradient at Week 30
At Baseline and Week 30

The post-exercise LVOT gradient was measured from echocardiograms obtained at baseline and week 30 following a study-specified exercise protocol and read by the doppler echocardiography. Baseline is defined as the last non-missing assessment prior to the first dose of the study treatment if both the time of the measurement and the time of first dose are available otherwise it is the last non-missing assessment on or prior to the first dose of the study treatment.

Composite of Decision to Proceed With Septal Reduction Therapy (SRT) and SRT Guideline Eligible at Week 16
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.

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 were generated for each domain and scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 denoting the worst and 100 the best possible status. Overall KCCQ Pro score is the average of all the domains, symptom frequency and symptom burden scores, and transformed to a single score which ranged from 0 (worst) to 100 (the best possible status), where the higher score reflected better health status.
