METEORIC-HF

A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess the Effect of Omecamtiv Mecarbil on Exercise Capacity in Subjects with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction and Decreased Exercise Tolerance

INCLUSION Criteria

  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35%
  • NYHA class II or III
  • NT-proBNP ≥ 200 pg/mL
  • Peak VO2 ≤ 75% of the predicted normal value with RER ≥ 1.05 on the screening

EXCLUSION Criteria

  • Severe uncorrected valvular heart disease
  • Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or flutter documented within the previous 6 months requiring treatment (eg anti-coagulation or antiarrhythmic therapy), direct-current (DC) cardioversion or ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation within 6 months, or plan to attempt to restore sinus rhythm (with drug therapy, ablation, or DC cardioversion) within 6 months of randomization. Subjects with persistent atrial fibrillation and no sinus rhythm documented in the prior 6 months are permitted.
  • Untreated severe ventricular arrhythmias
  • (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m2
