A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Patients With Symptomatic Heart Failure With Severely Reduced Ejection Fraction (COMET-HF)
A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Patients With Symptomatic Heart Failure With Severely Reduced Ejection Fraction (COMET-HF)
The purpose of this study is to find out if the investigational drug called omecamtiv mecarbil can reduce the risk of the effects of heart failure, like hospitalization, transplantation, or death in patients with heart failure and severely reduced ejection fraction.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of omecamtiv mecarbil in reducing the risk of the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular (CV) death, first heart failure (HF) event, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, cardiac transplantation, and stroke in patients with symptomatic heart failure with severely reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to investigational product (IP) - omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo. The study is event-driven and will conclude when at least 850 participants experience a HF event or CV death, whichever comes first. An interim analysis for futility and efficacy based on the primary composite endpoint is planned when approximately 570 (67%) of the planned 850 first HF events or CV deaths are observed.
Estimated duration of participation: Up to 3 years.
Inclusion Criteria:
Adult patients who meet all the following criteria at screening may be included in the study:
Are between ≥ 18 years and ≤ 85 years at the signing of informed consent
Have a history of chronic HFrEF, defined as requiring treatment for HF for a minimum of 3 months prior to screening
Are receiving oral loop diuretics on a regular schedule
Patients without AFF on screening ECG:
Patients with AFF on screening ECG:
Meet one of the following criteria for a recent HF event:
Are established on regional standard-of-care HF therapies for at least 30 days prior to screening
Systolic blood pressure ≤ 140 mmHg
Exclusion Criteria:
Any of the following criteria will exclude potential patients from the study:
