Bayer AG is 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 assess 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 thickening.
The intervention being tested is aficamten, also known as BAY3723113, administered orally in varying doses. It targets the root cause of oHCM by reducing the activity of cardiac myosin, which helps heart muscles contract, to improve heart function and alleviate symptoms.
The study follows an open-label, single-arm design with no masking, focusing on treatment as its primary purpose. Participants will receive aficamten daily, with doses adjusted based on echocardiography assessments, for up to 24 weeks.
The study began on June 30, 2025, with primary completion expected within six months of this date. The last update was submitted on August 5, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating results.
This clinical update could positively influence Bayer’s stock performance and investor sentiment, given the potential for aficamten to address a significant unmet need in the treatment of oHCM. Competitors in the cardiovascular treatment space will be closely monitoring these developments.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
