Bayer AG is currently conducting a Phase 3 clinical study titled A Phase 3, Open Label, Single Arm Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Aficamten in Adult Japanese Patients With Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of aficamten, a drug designed to treat symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) by reducing cardiac myosin activity, thereby preventing heart muscle over-contraction and thickening.
The intervention being tested is aficamten, also known as BAY3723113, which is administered orally in varying doses. It is intended to improve heart function in patients with symptomatic oHCM by addressing the root cause of the condition.
This open-label, single-arm study involves no masking and focuses on treatment as its primary purpose. Participants will receive aficamten daily for up to 24 weeks, with doses adjusted based on echocardiography assessments.
The study began on June 30, 2025, with its primary completion and estimated overall completion dates yet to be determined. The latest update was submitted on August 5, 2025, indicating the study’s ongoing status.
The outcome of this study could significantly impact Bayer AG’s stock performance, as successful results may enhance investor confidence and position the company favorably against competitors in the cardiovascular treatment market. The study’s focus on a Japanese population also highlights Bayer’s strategic interest in expanding its market reach in Asia.
The study is currently recruiting, and further details are available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
