BACKGROUND MAPLE-HCM2 Beta-blockers are a Class 1 Primary Endpoint – Δ pVO2 22 recommendation for first-line treatment Mean (95% CI) pVO2 (mL/kg/min) of symptomatic obstructive HCM, but 21 LSM Change (SE) from Baseline to Week 24 level of evidence is limited to small 20 Aficamten vs. Metoprolol stud
Slide 4: Objectives and Methods
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS In this pre-specified analysis, we evaluated individual patient 175 patients with oHCM LVOT-G ≥30 mmHg at rest and/or responses to aficamten or metoprolol monotherapy across 5 ≥50 mmHg with Valsalva clinically relevant measures of disease burden in oHCM patients: Endpoints Ef

Slide 11: Limitations
LIMITATIONS • The threshold-based analysis may underestimate clinically meaningful improvements in some patients treated with either aficamten or metoprolol. 11
Slide 12: Conclusions
CONCLUSIONS • In symptomatic oHCM patients, aficamten monotherapy led to superior and broader treatment effects compared with metoprolol monotherapy across several clinically relevant outcome measures of disease burden. • Treatment benefits of aficamten monotherapy were rapid, as the difference in r
