New heart drug aims to ease strain for patients with thickened heart muscle

NCT ID NCT07023341

Summary

This study is testing a drug called aficamten in Japanese adults with a heart condition where the heart muscle thickens, making it hard to pump blood and causing symptoms like shortness of breath. The main goal is to see if taking aficamten daily for 6 months improves blood flow from the heart and reduces the impact of symptoms on daily life. Participants can continue taking the drug long-term if it helps them.
