Study to Assess the Effect of Omecamtiv Mecarbil (OM) on QT/QTc Intervals in Healthy Adults

Single-dose and Randomized, Single-center, Placebo- and Active-controlled, Crossover Study to Assess the Effect of Omecamtiv Mecarbil (OM) on QT/QTc Intervals in Healthy Subjects

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of a single therapeutic (50 mg) oral dose of omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) on the QT interval / QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc), relative to placebo, in healthy adults.

The QT interval is the section on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that represents the time it takes for the electrical system to fire an impulse through the ventricles and then recharge, or the time it takes for the heart muscle to contract and then recover.

The study consists of 2 parts: Part A and Part B. Participants are enrolled in Part A to determine eligibility for Part B.

In Part A participants receive a single oral dose of 25 mg omecamtiv mecarbil; participants with a resulting maximum observed OM plasma concentration (Cmax) ≤ 350 ng/mL are eligible to enter Part B.

Part B is a 3-period cross-over study in which participants are randomized to receive 3 treatments in 1 of 6 sequences, each separated by a washout of at least 7 days.

This study was conducted by Amgen as the IND holder, with Cytokinetics as a collaborator. Due to the termination of the collaboration agreement between Amgen and Cytokinetics in May 2021 and subsequent transfer of the omecamtiv mecarbil IND from Amgen to Cytokinetics, Cytokinetics is now listed as the sponsor.

• Any users of tobacco- or nicotine-containing products within 6 months before Day -1 of Part A.
• History suggestive of esophageal (including esophageal spasm, esophagitis), gastric, or duodenal ulceration or bowel disease (including, but not limited to, peptic ulceration, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or irritable bowel syndrome); or a history of gastrointestinal surgery other than uncomplicated appendectomy.

• Donated blood from 3 months prior to Screening, plasma from 2 weeks prior to Screening, or platelets from 6 weeks prior to Screening.
• Subjects who were previously exposed to OM.
• Hepatic impairment defined by a total bilirubin (TBL) greater than or equal to 1.2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) greater than ULN (and confirmed upon repeat).
• Systolic blood pressure (BP) greater than 140 mmHg or less than 90 mmHg, or diastolic BP greater than 90 mmHg.
• QTcF interval greater than 450 msec in male or greater than 470 msec in female or history/evidence of long QT syndrome, or PR of greater than or equal to 200 msec; or 2nd degree atrioventricular (AV) block or 3rd degree AV block, or heart rate greater than 100 bpm (and confirmed upon repeat, except 2nd or 3rd degree AV block, which are exclusionary based on a single finding).

• Any positive test for drugs, cotinine (tobacco or nicotine use), and/or alcohol use.
• Positive hepatitis panel and/or positive human immunodeficiency virus test. Subjects whose results are compatible with prior immunization may be included.
• Subject has known sensitivity to any of the products or components to be administered during dosing, including history of hypersensitivity to moxifloxacin or any member of the quinolone class of antibacterials.

• Female subjects with a positive pregnancy test.
• Female subjects lactating/breastfeeding or who plans to breastfeed during the study through 90 days after the end of study (EOS) visit.
• Unwilling to adhere to contraceptive requirements through 90 days after the EOS visit.
• Unwilling to abstain from sperm and ovum donation through 90 days after the EOS visit.
• Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential and not willing to inform his partner of his participation in this clinical study.
• Male subjects with a pregnant partner or partner planning to become pregnant while the subject is on study through 90 days after the EOS visit.
• Subject likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (eg, Clinical Outcome Assessments) to the best of the subject and Investigator's knowledge.
