Phase III

Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Aficamten Compared to Placebo in Adults with Symptomatic Non-Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (ACACIA)

  • Study HIC#:2000035666
  • Last Updated:05/24/2024

Phase 3 trial of aficamten in participants with nHCM is designed to further evaluate the effect of aficamten on quality of life, exercise capacity, heart failure symptoms, cardiac biomarkers, cardiac remodeling, and clinical outcomes. Additionally, the safety and tolerability will be assessed in participants with nHCM.

Study Duration:
• 6-week screening period (< 42 prior to Day 1)
• 72 weeks treatment
• Week 76 EOS visit
• Afic vs Placebo; Echo & CPET; Opt genetic & future sample testing
• Optional CMR sub-study (excluded if ICD or pacemaker)
