Summary

This study tests a drug called mavacamten in 44 teenagers aged 12 to 18 who have a condition where the heart muscle is too thick and blocks blood flow. The goal is to see if the drug can reduce the blockage and improve symptoms. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either mavacamten or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors know which they get.
