Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Indicated for symptomatic New York Heart Association class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) to improve exercise capacity and symptoms
Starting dose: 5 mg PO qDay
Allowable subsequent doses with titration are 2.5, 5, 10, or 15 mg qDay
Initiation or up-titration in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <55% not recommended
Patients may develop heart failure (HF) while taking mavacamten; regular LVEF and Valsalva left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient assessment required for careful titration to achieve an appropriate target Valsalva LVOT gradient, while maintaining LVEF ≥50% and avoiding HF symptoms
Daily dosing takes weeks to reach steady-state drug levels and therapeutic effects, and genetic variation in metabolism and drug interactions can cause large differences in exposure
When initiating or titrating, first consider LVEF then consider the Valsalva LVOT gradient and patient clinical status to guide appropriate dosing (see algorithm in prescribing information)
Initiation phase dosing (week 4)
- Valsalva LVOT gradient <20 mmHg: Reduce dose to 2.5 mg/day
- Valsalva LVOT gradient ≥20 mmHg: Maintain at 5 mg/day
Initiation phase dosing (week 8)
-
Taking 2.5 mg/day
- Valsalva LVOT gradient <20 mmHg: Withhold drug and resume at Week 12
- Valsalva LVOT gradient ≥20 mmHg: Maintain at 2.5 mg/day
-
Taking 5 mg/day
- Valsalva LVOT gradient <20 mmHg: Reduce dose to 2.5 mg/day
- Valsalva LVOT gradient ≥20 mmHg: Maintain at 5 mg/day
Initiation phase dosing (week 12)
-
Taking 2.5 mg/day
- Valsalva LVOT gradient <20 mmHg: Restart on 2.5 mg if LVEF ≥50% and recheck clinical status and echocardiogram (ECHO) in 4 weeks
- Maintain same dose for next 8 weeks, unless LVEF <50%
-
Taking 5 mg/day
- Refer to maintenance dosing algorithm
Maintenance phase dosing (week 12 and q12wk)
- LVEF <50%: Interrupt treatment
-
Maintain on same dose and follow-up 12 weeks later
- LVEF 50-55%, regardless of Valsalva LVOT gradient OR,
- LVEF ≥55% and Valsalva LVOT gradient <30 mmHg
-
LVEF ≥55% and Valsalva LVOT gradient ≥30 mmHg
- Up-titration to next higher daily dose level (eg, 2.5 mg to 5 mg; 5 mg to 10 mg; 10 mg to 15 mg)
- Recheck clinical status and ECHO in 4 weeks and maintain same dose for next 8 weeks unless LVEF <50%
- Further up-titration allowed after 12 weeks of treatment on same dose level
Treatment interruption if LVEF <50%
-
LVEF <50%
- Interrupt treatment
- Recheck ECHO parameters q4wk until LVEF ≥50%
- Permanently discontinue if LVEF <50% twice on 2.5 mg/day
-
LVEF ≥50%
- Restart at next lower daily dose; if interrupted at 2.5 mg, restart at 2.5 mg
- Recheck clinical status and ECHO in 4 weeks and maintain the same dose for the next 8 weeks unless LVEF <50%, THEN
- Follow maintenance phase dosage
- Delay dose increases when there is intercurrent illness (eg, serious infection) or arrhythmia (eg, atrial fibrillation, other uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia) that may impair systolic function
- Consider interruption in patients with intercurrent illness
Dosage Modifications
Coadministration with weak CYP2C19 or moderate CP3A4 inhibitors
- On stable therapy with weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor: Initiate at recommended starting dose (5 mg/day)
-
Initiating weak CYP2C19 inhibitor or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor
- Reduce mavacamten dose by 1 dosage level
- Schedule clinical and ECHO assessment 4 weeks after inhibitor initiation, and do not up-titrate mavacamten until 12 weeks after inhibitor initiation
- Avoid initiation of concomitant weak CYP2C19 and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors in patients who are on stable treatment with mavacamten 2.5 mg/day (lower dose unavailable)
Renal impairment
- Mild-to-moderate (eGFR 30-89 mL/min/1.73 m2): No dosage adjustment required
- Severe impairment and kidney failure, including patients on dialysis (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2): Unknown
Hepatic impairment
- Mild-to-moderate (Child-Pugh A or B): No dosage adjustment required; although AUC increases, no additional dose adjustment required owing to recommended dose titration algorithm and monitoring
- Severe (Child-Pugh C): Unknown
Dosing Considerations
Daily dosing takes weeks to reach steady-state drug levels and therapeutic effects, and genetic variation in metabolism and drug interactions can cause large differences in exposure

Warnings
Black Box Warnings
Risk of heart failure (HF)
- Reduces left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and can cause HF owing to systolic dysfunction
- ECG assessments of LVEF required before and during treatment
- Initiation in patients with LVEF <55% not recommended
- Interrupt dosing if LVEF <50% at any visit or if patient experiences HF symptoms or worsening clinical status
- Coadministration with certain CYP450 inhibitors or discontinuation of certain CYP450 inducers may increase HF risk due to systolic dysfunction
- Available only through restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called Camzyos REMS Program; information available at www.camzyosrems.com or by telephone at 1-833-628-7367
-
Contraindicated with following
- Moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 inducers
Contraindications
Coadministration with moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
Coadministration with moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 inducers
Cautions
Only available through restricted REMS program requiring certification of prescribers and pharmacies, and enrollment of patients
Based on animal studies, may cause fetal toxicity when administered to pregnant females; confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential before initiating and instruct patient on use of effective contraception
Heart failure
- Reduces systolic contraction and can cause HF or totally block ventricular function
- Patients who experience a serious intercurrent illness (eg, serious infection) or arrhythmia (eg, atrial fibrillation, other uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia) are at greater risk of developing systolic dysfunction and HF
- Patients should report any signs or symptoms of heart failure immediately to their healthcare provider
- Assess clinical status and LVEF before and regularly during treatment and adjust dose accordingly
- Promptly evaluate new or worsening arrhythmia, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, leg edema, or elevations in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as these may be signs and symptoms of HF
- Asymptomatic LVEF reduction, intercurrent illnesses, and arrhythmias require additional dosing considerations
- Initiation with LVEF <55% is not recommended
Drug interaction overview
- Primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4
- Coadministration with drugs that interact with these enzymes may lead to life-threatening drug interactions (eg, heart failure) or loss of effectiveness
- Advise patients of potential drug interactions, including OTC medications (eg, omeprazole, esomeprazole, or cimetidine)
-
Moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Contraindicated
- Coadministration with moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors increases mavacamten systemic exposure, which may increase risk of HF due to systolic dysfunction
-
Moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 inducers
- Contraindicated
- Coadministration with moderate-to-strong CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 inducers decreases mavacamten systemic exposure, which may reduce efficacy
- May increase risk of adverse effects
-
Hormonal contraceptives
- Use alternant contraceptive (eg, intrauterine system) not affected by CYP450 induction or add nonhormonal contraception during treatment and for 4 months after last dose
- Progestin and ethinyl estradiol are CYP3A4 substrates
- Mavacamten may decrease exposures of ethinyl estradiol and progestin, which may lead to contraceptive failure or increased breakthrough bleeding
-
Weak CYP2C19 or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors
- On stable therapy with weak CYP2C19 or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor: Initiate at recommended 5 mg/day dose
- Intend to initiate weak CYP2C19 or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor: Reduce mavacamten dose by 1 level
- On stable treatment with mavacamten 2.5 mg/day: Avoid initiating weak CYP2C19 or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor (no lower mavacamten dose available)
-
Drugs that reduce cardiac contractility
- Avoid coadministration
- Coadministration with disopyramide in combination with verapamil or diltiazem has been associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction and HF symptoms in patients with obstructive HCM
- Avoid concomitant use in patients on disopyramide, ranolazine, verapamil with a beta blocker, or diltiazem with a beta blocker as these medications and combinations were excluded from the clinical study
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant females
Human data are not available on use during pregnancy to evaluate for drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
Confirm absence of pregnancy in females of reproductive potential prior to initiation and use of effective contraception
Animal studies
- Mavacamten-related decreases in mean fetal body weight, reductions in fetal ossification of bones, and increases in post-implantation loss (early and/or late resorptions) observed in rats and increases in visceral and skeletal malformations observed in both rabbits and rats at dose exposures like that achieved at maximum recommended human dose (MRHD)
Contraception
- Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 4 months after last dose
- Mavacamten may reduce effectiveness of combination hormonal contraceptives; advise using an alternant contraceptive method or add nonhormonal contraception
Clinical considerations
- Underlying maternal condition during pregnancy poses risk to mother and fetus
- Obstructive HCM in pregnancy associated with increased risk for preterm birth
- Advise pregnant females about potential risk to fetus with maternal exposure to mavacamten during pregnancy
Lactation
Unknown if present in human or animal milk, effects on breastfed infants, and effects on milk production
Consider developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding along with the mother’s clinical need for mavacamten and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from the drug or from the underlying maternal condition
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Selective allosteric inhibitor of cardiac myosin
Modulates number of myosin heads that can enter “on actin” (power-generating) states, thus reduces probability of force-producing (systolic) and residual (diastolic) cross-bridge formation
Excess myosin actin cross-bridge formation and dysregulation of the super-relaxed state are mechanistic hallmarks of HCM
Mavacamten shifts overall myosin population towards an energy-sparing, recruitable, super-relaxed state
In patients with HCM, myosin inhibition with mavacamten reduces dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and improves cardiac filling pressures
Absorption
Bioavailability: 85%
Peak plasma concentration: 1 hr
Effect of food
- No clinically significant difference after high fat meal
- Peak plasma time increased by 4 hr
Distribution
Protein bound: 97-98%
Metabolism
Extensively metabolized, primarily through CYP2C19 (74%), CYP3A4 (18%), and CYP2C9 (8%)
Elimination
Excretion: 7% feces (1% unchanged); 85% urine (3% unchanged)
Half-life
- Variable terminal half-life that depends on CYP2C19 metabolic status
- Normal metabolizers: 6-9 days
- Poor metabolizers: 23 days
Pharmacogenomics
AUC increased by 241% and peak plasma concentration increased by 47% in CYP2C19 poor metabolizers (PMs) compared with normal metabolizers (NMs) following a single 15-mg dose
NMs carry 2 normal function alleles (eg, *1/*1)
PMs carry 2 no function alleles (eg, *2/*2, *2/*3, *3/*3)
Prevalence of CYP2C19 poor metabolizers differs depending on ancestry; ~2% of individuals of European ancestry and 4% of individuals of African ancestry are PMs; prevalence of PMs is higher in Asian populations (eg, ~13% of East Asians)
