Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to the first of event of CV death, HF event, LVAD implantation/cardiac transplantation, or stroke
From randomization to the first event of CV death or HF event, whichever occurs first, assessed until the last patient exits the study, estimated to last about 3 years

Efficacy of omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on the risk of HF outcomes in patients with symptomatic HFrEF and severely reduced ejection fraction in the setting of guideline-directed medical therapy per local standard of care.

Change in Peak Oxygen Uptake on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing From Baseline to Week 20
Baseline and Week 20

The effect of treatment on exercise capacity, as assessed by peak oxygen uptake, was assessed during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with gas-exchange analysis. Cycle ergometry was the preferred modality for exercise testing; treadmill exercise testing was an acceptable alternative. Participants were to use the same testing modality for all exercise tests during the study. Whenever possible, CPET was administered by the same study personnel using the same equipment throughout the study.

Time to Cardiovascular Death or First Heart Failure Event
From randomization to up to earliest of last confirmed survival status date or analysis cut-off date (07 August 2020); the overall median duration of follow-up was 21.8 months up to a maximum of 42 months.

The primary outcome was a composite of a heart-failure (HF) event or cardiovascular (CV) death, whichever occurred first, in a time-to-event analysis. A heart-failure event was defined as an urgent clinic visit, emergency department visit, or hospitalization for subjectively and objectively worsening heart failure leading to treatment intensification beyond a change in oral diuretic therapy. All deaths and HF events were adjudicated by an independent external clinical events committee (CEC) at the Duke Clinical Research Institute, using standardized definitions based on the recent American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) standards for endpoint definitions in cardiovascular clinical trials. Time to cardiovascular death or first HF event was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods. Since the median was not calculated, the percentage of participants with a positively adjudicated event during the study is reported.

Change From Baseline of Systolic Ejection Time at Various CK-1827452 Plasma Concentrations
4 days

Pooled analysis of the echocardiographic measure systolic ejection time from echocardiograms taken at all timepoints. The systolic ejection time is the period during which the aortic valve is open and blood is flowing across the valve. Echocardiograms from cohorts 1,2,3,4 and 5 (564 echocardiograms) were binned into either placebo group or 1 of 6 groups based on plasma concentration of CK-1827452.

Change From Baseline of Fractional Shortening at Various CK-1827452 Plasma Concentrations
4 days

Pooled analysis of the echocardiographic measure fractional shortening from echocardiograms taken at all timepoints. Fractional shortening is the percentage of change from baseline in the left ventricular cavity dimension with systole. Echocardiograms from cohorts 1,2,3,4 and 5 (564 echocardiograms) were binned into either placebo group or 1 of 6 groups based on plasma concentration of CK-1827452.

Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate Based on the Fridericia Method (QTcF) After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose

Continuous 12-lead digital ECG recording was performed on day 1 of each period. ECGs were analyzed by a blinded, central reader. At each specified timepoint, ten 14-second 12-lead ECG tracings were extracted from the continuous recordings. The median QT in each replicate was calculated; the mean of available medians was used as the participant's reportable value at that timepoint. QT interval was corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction (QTcF). Change from baseline (ΔQTcF) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QTcF as covariate. Placebo-corrected ΔQTcF (ΔΔQTcF) was calculated as the adjusted mean ΔQTcF after OM dosing minus adjusted mean ΔQTcF after placebo. If the upper bound of the confidence interval of ΔΔQTcF was \< 10 ms for all post-dose time points, OM was to be concluded to not have a significant effect on QT interval prolongation.

AMG 423 Pharmacokinetic Parameters
Twenty time points, up to eight days

Part A and Part B: Total AMG 423 pharmacokinetic parameters including area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of the last quantifiable sample (AUC0-t) and maximum observed plasma concentration after dosing (Cmax).

Frequently asked questions about CK-1827452

What is CK-1827452 used for?

CK-1827452 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of heart failure. It has been evaluated in Phase 2 clinical trials in patients with stable heart failure, including those with ischemic cardiomyopathy and angina. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing CK-1827452?

CK-1827452 is being developed by Cytokinetics, Incorporated, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker CYTK. The company has sponsored the Phase 2 clinical program evaluating the drug in heart failure and related cardiovascular conditions.

What phase is CK-1827452 in?

CK-1827452 is in Phase 2 clinical development. All three of its registered trials were Phase 2 studies, and all three are now completed. There are currently no active trials of CK-1827452, and the drug is investigational rather than approved.

What clinical trials has CK-1827452 been studied in?

CK-1827452 has been evaluated in three completed Phase 2 trials: NCT00941681, which studied oral pharmacokinetics in stable heart failure; NCT00682565, which assessed intravenous and oral dosing in ischemic cardiomyopathy and angina; and NCT00624442, which studied infusion in stable heart failure. Total enrollment across these trials was 174 patients.

How was CK-1827452 studied in its clinical trials?

CK-1827452 was studied in randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 2 trials. The program enrolled 174 patients with heart failure and related conditions across sites in the United States, Georgia, Russia, and the United Kingdom. Trials evaluated both oral and intravenous infusion formulations of the drug.
