About this study
Official title: Single-dose and Randomized, Single-center, Placebo- and Active-controlled, Crossover Study to Assess the Effect of Omecamtiv Mecarbil (OM) on QT/QTc Intervals in Healthy Subjects
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of a single therapeutic (50 mg) oral dose of omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) on the QT interval / QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc), relative to placebo, in healthy adults.
The QT interval is the section on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that represents the time it takes for the electrical system to fire an impulse through the ventricles and then recharge, or the time it takes for the heart muscle to contract and then recover.
Read the detailed description
The study consists of 2 parts: Part A and Part B. Participants are enrolled in Part A to determine eligibility for Part B.
In Part A participants receive a single oral dose of 25 mg omecamtiv mecarbil; participants with a resulting maximum observed OM plasma concentration (Cmax) ≤ 350 ng/mL are eligible to enter Part B.
Part B is a 3-period cross-over study in which participants are randomized to receive 3 treatments in 1 of 6 sequences, each separated by a washout of at least 7 days.
This study was conducted by Amgen as the IND holder, with Cytokinetics as a collaborator. Due to the termination of the collaboration agreement between Amgen and Cytokinetics in May 2021 and subsequent transfer of the omecamtiv mecarbil IND from Amgen to Cytokinetics, Cytokinetics is now listed as the sponsor.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate Based on the Fridericia Method (QTcF) After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Continuous 12-lead digital ECG recording was performed on day 1 of each period. ECGs were analyzed by a blinded, central reader. At each specified timepoint, ten 14-second 12-lead ECG tracings were extracted from the continuous recordings. The median QT in each replicate was calculated; the mean of available medians was used as the participant's reportable value at that timepoint.
QT interval was corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction (QTcF). Change from baseline (ΔQTcF) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QTcF as covariate.
Placebo-corrected ΔQTcF (ΔΔQTcF) was calculated as the adjusted mean ΔQTcF after OM dosing minus adjusted mean ΔQTcF after placebo.
If the upper bound of the confidence interval of ΔΔQTcF was < 10 ms for all post-dose time points, OM was to be concluded to not have a significant effect on QT interval prolongation.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose

Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate Based on the Fridericia Method (QTcF) After Moxifloxacin Dosing in Part B
Assay sensitivity was validated by analysis of ∆QTcF of moxifloxacin. Continuous 12-lead digital ECG recording was performed on Day 1 of each period. ECGs were analyzed by a blinded, central reader. At each specified timepoint, ten 14-second 12-lead ECG tracings were extracted from the continuous recordings. The median QT in each replicate was calculated; the mean of available medians was used as the participant's reportable value at that timepoint.
QT interval was corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction (QTcF). Change from baseline (ΔQTcF) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QTcF as covariate.
Placebo-corrected ΔQTcF (ΔΔQTcF) was calculated as the adjusted mean ΔQTcF after moxifloxacin dosing minus adjusted mean ΔQTcF after placebo.
If ∆∆QTcF was larger than 5 ms at 2, 3, or 4 hours, assay sensitivity was considered to be demonstrated.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the moxifloxacin treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Change From Baseline in Heart Rate After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Change from baseline in heart rate (HR) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline HR as a covariate.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Change From Baseline in QTcF After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Change from baseline in QTcF was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QTcF as a covariate.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Change From Baseline in PR Interval After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
The PR interval is the time from the onset of the P-wave to the start of the next QRS complex. Change from baseline was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline PR interval as covariate.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Change From Baseline in QRS After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
The QRS complex is a combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave on an ECG tracing, and represents ventricular depolarization. Change from baseline was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QRS as covariate.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Slope of Omecamtiv Mecarbil Plasma Concentration Estimated From Concentration-QTc Analysis in Part B
The relationship between omecamtiv mecarbil plasma concentration and ΔQTcF was investigated by linear mixed-effects modeling with ΔQTcF as the dependent variable, time-matched concentration of OM as the explanatory variable (0 for placebo), centered baseline QTcF (i.e., baseline QTcF for individual subject minus the population mean baseline QTcF for all subjects in the same period) as an additional covariate, study treatment (OM = 1 or placebo = 0) and time (i.e., post-dose time point) as fixed effects, and a random intercept and slope per subject. From the model, the slope (i.e., the regression parameter for the concentration) was estimated together with the 2-sided 90% CI.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.

Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in PR Interval After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Change from baseline in PR interval (ΔPR) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline PR interval as covariate.
Placebo-corrected ΔPR (ΔΔPR) was calculated as the adjusted mean ΔPR after OM dosing minus adjusted mean ΔPR after placebo dosing.
Measured: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the OM treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose.
Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in QRS After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Change from baseline in QRS (ΔQRS) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QRS as covariate.

A TEAE was defined as an adverse event (AE) that started during or after the first dose, or started prior to the first dose and increased in severity after the first dose. A treatment-related TEAE was defined as a TEAE with a relationship of related to the study treatment as determined by the investigator.
The Investigator assessed the severity of each AE reported during the study based on the following grading scale:
Mild: Aware of sign or symptom, easily tolerated Moderate: Discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity Severe: Incapacitating, inability to work or do usual activity
SAEs were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that met at least 1 of the following serious criteria:
- Resulted in Death
- Was life-threatening

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs, Laboratory Tests, or Electrocardiogram Findings
Blood and urine samples were collected for clinical laboratory evaluations (including clinical chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, and serology). Vital signs included blood pressure, pulse rate and body temperature. Standard safety 12-lead ECGs were recorded after the subject had been supine or semi-recumbent and at rest for at least 5 minutes to detect any immediate ECG effects for subject safety. These ECGs were viewed locally. The Investigator determined whether an abnormal value in an individual participant represented a clinically significant change from the participant's baseline values.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the effect of a single therapeutic (50 mg) oral dose of omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) on the QT interval / QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc), relative to placebo, in healthy adults.
The QT interval is the section on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that represents the time it takes for the electrical system to fire an impulse through the ventricles and then recharge, or the time it takes for the heart muscle to contract and then recover.
Detailed description
The study consists of 2 parts: Part A and Part B. Participants are enrolled in Part A to determine eligibility for Part B.
In Part A participants receive a single oral dose of 25 mg omecamtiv mecarbil; participants with a resulting maximum observed OM plasma concentration (Cmax) ≤ 350 ng/mL are eligible to enter Part B.
Part B is a 3-period cross-over study in which participants are randomized to receive 3 treatments in 1 of 6 sequences, each separated by a washout of at least 7 days.
This study was conducted by Amgen as the IND holder, with Cytokinetics as a collaborator. Due to the termination of the collaboration agreement between Amgen and Cytokinetics in May 2021 and subsequent transfer of the omecamtiv mecarbil IND from Amgen to Cytokinetics, Cytokinetics is now listed as the sponsor.

Primary outcome
Placebo-corrected Change From Baseline in QT Interval Corrected for Heart Rate Based on the Fridericia Method (QTcF) After Omecamtiv Mecarbil Dosing in Part B
Time frame: Baseline (average of samples taken at -1.25, -1, and -0.75 hours predose on day 1 of the treatment period) and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose
Continuous 12-lead digital ECG recording was performed on day 1 of each period. ECGs were analyzed by a blinded, central reader. At each specified timepoint, ten 14-second 12-lead ECG tracings were extracted from the continuous recordings. The median QT in each replicate was calculated; the mean of available medians was used as the participant's reportable value at that timepoint. QT interval was corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction (QTcF). Change from baseline (ΔQTcF) was calculated based on a linear mixed-effects model with period, sequence, time (categorical), treatment, and time-by-treatment interaction as fixed effects and baseline QTcF as covariate. Placebo-corrected ΔQTcF (ΔΔQTcF) was calculated as the adjusted mean ΔQTcF after OM dosing minus adjusted mean ΔQTcF after placebo. If the upper bound of the confidence interval of ΔΔQTcF was < 10 ms for all post-dose time points, OM was to be concluded to not have a significant effect on QT interval prolongation.
