Cytokinetics, Incorporated (NASDAQ:CYTK) today announced new data from post-hoc analyses of GALACTIC-HF (Global Approach to Lowering Adverse Cardiac Outcomes Through Improving Contractility in Heart Failure), the Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes clinical trial of omecamtiv mecarbil were presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2024 in Chicago, IL.
"These analyses reinforce the potential treatment benefit of omecamtiv mecarbil in patients from GALACTIC-HF who are at higher risk, such as older patients or those with a recent ventricular arrhythmia," said Stuart Kupfer, M.D., Senior Vice President, Chief Medical Officer. "As we prepare for the start of COMET-HF, the confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of omecamtiv mecarbil, we look forward to evaluating its potential to reduce the risk of adverse heart failure outcomes across the spectrum of these very high-risk patients failing guideline-directed medical therapy."
