Heart Failure study: Omecamtiv Mecarbil
Official title Study With Omecamtiv Mecarbil (CK-1827452) to Treat Chronic Heart Failure With Severely Reduced Ejection Fraction
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06736574
What this study is testing
What is Omecamtiv Mecarbil?
An investigational oral tablet being studied for heart failure with severely reduced ejection fraction.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether omecamtiv mecarbil can lower the chance of hospital stays, transplants, or death in people with severe heart failure.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have heart failure with a very low ejection fraction.
- What's involved
- You will take the drug as directed and have regular check‑ins with the study team. No other special tests are required.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts several months and includes a few visits to the clinic for monitoring.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
