MYQORZO is indicated for the treatment of adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms. MYQORZO is a cardiac myosin inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to improve functional capacity and symptoms. ( 1 )

Recommended starting dose is 5 mg orally once daily. ( 2.1 ) Dosage is individualized based on echocardiographic assessments and clinical status. Refer to Full Prescribing Information for instructions on dosage modification. ( 2.1 , 2.2 )

2.1 Evaluation Before and During Use of MYQORZO Initiation or up-titration of MYQORZO in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. Patients may develop heart failure while taking MYQORZO. Regular LVEF and Valsalva left ventricular outflow tract gradient (LVOT-G) assessment is needed for titration to achieve an appropriate target Valsalva LVOT-G, while maintaining LVEF ≥50% and avoiding heart failure symptoms.

2.2 Recommended Dosage and Administration The recommended starting dose of MYQORZO is 5 mg orally once daily. Increase the dose every 2 to 8 weeks by 5 mg until a maintenance dose or the maximum recommended dose of 20 mg once daily is achieved. The maintenance dose of MYQORZO is individualized based on the patient's LVEF and LVOT-G. Recommendations for dosing based on LVEF and LVOT-G criteria are provided in Table 1. Table 1: Dose Adjustment of MYQORZO LVEF Valsalva LVOT-G Dose Adjustment ≥55% ≥30 mmHg Increase dose by 5 mg (up to the maximum dose of 20 mg once daily) ≥55% <30 mmHg Maintain Dose <55% and ≥50% Any Maintain Dose <50% and ≥40% Any Decrease dose by 5 mg Decrease dose as follows: 20 mg to 15 mg; 15 mg to 10 mg; 10 mg to 5 mg If already on 5 mg, interrupt treatment for at least 7 days <40% Any Interrupt treatment for at least 7 days Perform an echocardiographic assessment 2 to 8 weeks after initiation of treatment or any dose adjustment (e.g., due to LVEF and LVOT-G criteria or drug interaction). After a treatment interruption due to low LVEF, resume treatment, no earlier than 7 days, when LVEF ≥55% and re-initiate dose titration at the starting dose of 5 mg (see Table 1 ). After the maintenance dose has been established, assess LVEF and Valsalva LVOT-G every 6 months, or every 3 months in patients with LVEF <55% to ≥50%. Consider monitoring LVEF and adjust the dose per Table 1 as needed, in patients with an intercurrent illness (e.g., severe infection or COVID-19), new arrhythmia (e.g., new or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or other uncontrolled tachyarrhythmia) or any other conditions that may impair systolic function. Do not increase the dose until the intercurrent illness or new arrhythmia has resolved or stabilized. MYQORZO should be taken once daily with or without meals at about the same time every day. Swallow tablets whole.

2.3 Dosage Modifications for Drug Interactions Initiate MYQORZO at the recommended starting dose of 5 mg once daily in patients who are on stable therapy with fluconazole, voriconazole, fluvoxamine, strong CYP2C9 inhibitors, or in patients discontinuing a moderate to strong CYP3A inducer. Concomitant Administration with Fluconazole or Voriconazole In patients who initiate fluconazole (if used for more than 3 days) or voriconazole, reduce the dose of MYQORZO to 5 mg if they are currently receiving 15 mg or 20 mg. Avoid concomitant use if patients are currently receiving MYQORZO 5 mg or 10 mg. Assess LVEF and LVOT-G 2 to 8 weeks after initiation of fluconazole or voriconazole and titrate the dose of MYQORZO according to Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) , Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Concomitant Administration with Fluvoxamine or Strong CYP2C9 Inhibitors In patients who initiate fluvoxamine or a strong CYP2C9 inhibitor, reduce the dose of MYQORZO (20 mg to 10 mg; 15 mg to 5 mg; 10 mg to 5 mg). For patients currently receiving MYQORZO 5 mg, maintain the 5 mg dose. Assess LVEF and LVOT-G 2 to 8 weeks after inhibitor initiation and titrate the dose of MYQORZO according to Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) , Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Concomitant Administration with Moderate to Strong CYP3A Inducers In patients who are on stable therapy with moderate to strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., carbamazepine), when discontinuing these medications, reduce the dose of MYQORZO (20 mg to 10 mg; 15 mg to 5 mg; 10 mg to 5 mg). For patients currently receiving MYQORZO 5 mg, maintain the 5 mg dose. Assess LVEF and LVOT-G 2 to 8 weeks after inducer discontinuation and titrate the dose of MYQORZO according to Table 1 [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) , Warnings and Precautions (5.3) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ].

2.4 Missed Dose If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible on the same day. The next scheduled dose should be taken at the usual time the following day. Two doses of MYQORZO should not be taken on the same day.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk of Heart Failure : Consider decreasing dose or dose interruption in patients with serious intercurrent illness. ( 2.2 , 5.1 ) Drug Interactions Leading to Increased Risk of Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness: Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions. ( 2.3 , 5.3 , 17 )

5.1 Heart Failure MYQORZO reduces cardiac contractility, which can reduce LVEF and cause heart failure. Patients who experience a serious intercurrent illness (e.g., serious infection) or arrhythmia (e.g., new or uncontrolled atrial fibrillation) may be at greater risk of developing systolic dysfunction and heart failure [see Clinical Trial Experience (6.1) ] . Asymptomatic LVEF reduction, intercurrent illnesses, and arrhythmias require additional monitoring considerations [see Dosage and Administration (2.2) ]. Assess the patient's clinical status and LVEF prior to and regularly during treatment and adjust the MYQORZO dose accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. New or worsening arrhythmia, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue, leg edema, or elevations in N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) may be signs and symptoms of heart failure and should prompt an evaluation of cardiac function. Initiation of MYQORZO in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended.

5.2 MYQORZO REMS Program MYQORZO is available only through a restricted program called the MYQORZO REMS Program, because of the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Notable requirements of the MYQORZO REMS Program include the following: Prescribers must be certified by enrolling in the MYQORZO REMS Program. Patients must enroll in the MYQORZO REMS Program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) ]. Pharmacies must be certified by enrolling in the MYQORZO REMS Program and must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive MYQORZO. Wholesalers and distributors must only distribute to certified pharmacies. Further information is available at www.MYQORZOREMS.com or by telephone at 1-844-285-7367.

5.3 Cytochrome P450 Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness MYQORZO is metabolized primarily by CYP2C9, and to a lesser extent by CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19 enzymes. Initiation of medications that inhibit multiple P450 pathways of MYQORZO elimination (e.g., fluconazole, voriconazole, fluvoxamine) or strong CYP2C9 inhibitors, and discontinuation of moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers may lead to increased blood concentrations of aficamten and increase the risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Conversely, initiation of medications that induce P450 pathways of MYQORZO (e.g., rifampin, moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers) may lead to decreased blood concentrations of aficamten and potential loss of effectiveness [see Contraindications (4) and Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Assess LVEF 2 to 8 weeks after initiation of such inhibitors or after discontinuation of such inducers and adjust the dose of MYQORZO accordingly [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions. Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant medications prior to and during MYQORZO treatment [see Drug Interactions (7.1) and Patient Counseling Information (17) ] .

Drugs that inhibit multiple pathways of MYQORZO elimination, strong CYP2C9 inhibitors, or moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers may increase risk of heart failure. MYQORZO dose reduction and additional monitoring may be required when initiating or discontinuing these drugs. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) 7.1. Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Plasma Concentrations of MYQORZO Aficamten is primarily metabolized by CYP2C9 and, to a lesser extent by CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19. Concomitant administration of drugs that inhibit multiple P450 pathways of aficamten elimination, strong inhibitors of CYP2C9, and moderate-to-strong inducers of CYP3A, may affect the exposure of aficamten [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] (see Table 2 ). Table 2: Established and Potentially Significant Pharmacokinetic Drug-Drug Interactions with MYQORZO Inhibitors of Multiple CYPs Fluvoxamine Clinical Impact Fluvoxamine is a strong CYP2C19 inhibitor, weak to moderate CYP3A inhibitor, weak CYP2C9 inhibitor, and weak CYP2D6 inhibitor. Coadministration of fluvoxamine is predicted to increase aficamten exposure, which may increase the risk of developing heart failure due to systolic dysfunction. Prevention or Management Initiate MYQORZO at 5 mg in patients on stable therapy with fluvoxamine. In patients who are on MYQORZO treatment and intend to initiate fluvoxamine: Reduce dose of MYQORZO (i.e., 20 mg to 10 mg, 15 mg to 5 mg, or 10 mg to 5 mg) or continue 5 mg [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Fluconazole or Voriconazole Clinical Impact Fluconazole is a moderate CYP2C9 inhibitor, moderate CYP3A inhibitor, and strong CYP2C19 inhibitor. Voriconazole is a strong CYP3A inhibitor, moderate CYP2C19 inhibitor, and weak CYP2C9 inhibitor. Coadministration with fluconazole is observed, and voriconazole is predicted, to increase aficamten exposure, which may increase the risk of developing heart failure due to systolic dysfunction [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Initiate MYQORZO at 5 mg in patients on stable therapy with fluconazole or voriconazole. In patients currently receiving MYQORZO who intend to initiate fluconazole (if used more than 3 days) or voriconazole: Reduce dose of MYQORZO to 5 mg if they are currently receiving MYQORZO 15 mg or 20 mg. Avoid concomitant use if currently receiving MYQORZO 5 mg or 10 mg [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . Strong CYP2C9 inhibitors Clinical Impact Coadministration with a strong CYP2C9 inhibitor is predicted to increase the exposure of aficamten, which may increase the risk of developing heart failure due to systolic dysfunction [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Prevention or Management Initiate MYQORZO at 5 mg in patients who are on stable therapy with a strong CYP2C9 inhibitor. In patients who are on MYQORZO treatment and intend to initiate a strong CYP2C9 inhibitor: Reduce dose of MYQORZO (i.e., 20 mg to 10 mg, 15 mg to 5 mg, or 10 mg to 5 mg) or continue 5 mg [see Dosage and administration (2.3) ]. CYP Inducers Rifampin Clinical Impact Rifampin is a strong CYP3A inducer, strong CYP2C19 inducer, and moderate CYP2C9 inducer. Coadministration of rifampin decreases aficamten exposure, which may reduce the effectiveness of MYQORZO [see Contraindications (4) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ]. Prevention of Management Concomitant use with rifampin is contraindicated. Other moderate-to-strong CYP3A inducers Clinical Impact Concomitant use with a moderate to strong CYP3A inducer decreases aficamten exposure, which may reduce MYQORZO effectiveness [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . The risk of heart failure due to systolic dysfunction may increase with discontinuation of these inducers. Prevention or Management In patients who intend to discontinue a moderate to strong CYP3A Inducer: Reduce dose of MYQORZO (20 mg to 10 mg; 15 mg to 5 mg; 10 mg to 5 mg) or continue 5 mg [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].

The following adverse reaction is discussed in other sections of labeling: Heart Failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] The most common adverse reaction was hypertension (8%).

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of MYQORZO was evaluated in SEQUOIA-HCM, a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Of the 282 adults with oHCM, 142 patients received daily doses of MYQORZO (initiated at 5 mg and titrated up to a maximum dose of 20 mg) and 140 patients received placebo. The median treatment duration for patients receiving MYQORZO was ~24 weeks (range 4 to 29 weeks). Hypertension (8% vs. 2%) was the only adverse reaction occurring in >5% of patients and more commonly on MYQORZO than on placebo. Eligible oHCM patients were able to participate in an ongoing, open-label, single-arm, long-term safety study (FOREST-HCM). Based on available data, the safety profile of MYQORZO in FOREST-HCM was similar to that observed in SEQUOIA-HCM. Effects on Systolic Function In SEQUOIA-HCM, the mean (SD) resting LVEF at baseline was 75% (6) in both treatment groups. Consistent with the mechanism of action of MYQORZO, LS mean (SE) change from baseline in LVEF was -7% (0.6) in the MYQORZO group and -2% (0.6) in the placebo group at the end of the 24-week treatment period. Four weeks after the end of treatment, mean LVEF was similar between the MYQORZO and placebo groups. During the 24-week treatment period, 5 (4%) patients in the MYQORZO group and 1 (1%) patient in the placebo group experienced a reversible reduction in LVEF to <50% (median LVEF: 47%; range 34% - 49% for these 5 patients in the MYQORZO group). Reductions in LVEF to <50% did not require treatment interruption and were not associated with clinical heart failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Effects on Blood Pressure In SEQUOIA-HCM, the mean (SD) systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) at baseline was 125(16)/75(11) mmHg for patients in the MYQORZO group and 126(16)/74(11) mmHg in the placebo group. There was a greater mean change from baseline in SBP/DBP (SD) in the MYQORZO group compared to the placebo group at the end of the 24-week treatment period [2(13)/3(8) mmHg and -3(14)/-1(9) mmHg, respectively]. Four weeks after the end of treatment, the mean SBP/DBP was similar between the MYQORZO and placebo groups. In SEQUOIA-HCM, SBP ≥160 mmHg was observed in approximately 16% of patients in the MYQORZO group and 8% of patients in the placebo group. MYQORZO-associated increases in blood pressure are consistent with relief of LVOT obstruction and improved cardiac output.

Clinical Experience and Effects There have been no reports of overdose with MYQORZO. Cardiovascular effects of overdose may include reduced LVEF, heart failure, and hypotension. Signs and symptoms of heart failure such as dyspnea, fatigue, leg edema, or elevations in NT-proBNP should prompt an evaluation of cardiac function [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Management Discontinue MYQORZO treatment. Provide medically supportive measures to maintain hemodynamic stability and monitor left ventricular function. Consider contacting the Poison Help line (1-800-222-1222) or a medical toxicologist for additional overdose management recommendations.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on the use of MYQORZO during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. The underlying maternal condition during pregnancy poses a risk to the mother and fetus (see Clinical Considerations ) . In embryo-fetal and pre- and postnatal development studies, when pregnant rats were administered aficamten during the period of organogenesis, aficamten increased the incidence of structural malformations at exposures ≥4-times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 20 mg based on free area under the concentration curve (AUC) . No adverse effects on development were seen at 3-times the MRHD exposure (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, and other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. There is a pregnancy safety study for MYQORZO. If MYQORZO is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving MYQORZO or within 3 weeks after the last dose of MYQORZO, healthcare providers should report MYQORZO exposure by contacting Cytokinetics, Inc. at 1-833-633-2986. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and Embryo-Fetal Risk Obstructive HCM in pregnancy has been associated with increased risk for preterm birth. Data Animal Data Aficamten given to pregnant rats (2, 6 and 9 mg/kg/day) during the period of organogenesis was associated with increased external fetal malformations (kinked tail) at aficamten exposures 5-times the clinical exposures at the MRHD based on free AUC, with uncertain human relevance. Increased post-implantation loss (early and late resorptions) and decreased mean fetal body weight occurred in the presence of significant maternal toxicity at exposures 5-times the clinical exposures at the MRHD. No adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed at 6 mg/kg/day, representing 3-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD. Pregnant rabbits given aficamten (5, 10 and 20/15 mg/kg/day) during the period of embryofetal organogenesis showed a numerical increase in post-implantation loss (late resorptions) and fetuses with cardiac malformations at 10 mg/kg/day. However, no increase in malformations was observed at the high dose of 20/15 mg/kg/day, a dose that caused significant maternal toxicity (leading to dose reduction from 20 to 15 mg/kg/day during the study) at clinically relevant exposures. Pregnant rats given aficamten (0.5, 1.5, 6 mg/kg/day) during embryofetal organogenesis through offspring weaning in a pre- and postnatal development study had reduced offspring viability at the 6 mg/kg/day in the presence of maternal toxicity, at 4-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD based on free AUC. An increased number of offspring with bent tails was also observed at the 6 mg/kg/day. No adverse maternal toxicity or developmental effects occurred at 1.5 mg/kg/day, which corresponds to clinical exposure at the MRHD. Aficamten did not affect neurobehavioral parameters, sexual maturation, or reproductive function of the offspring at any dose.

8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of aficamten in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Aficamten was detected in the plasma of rat pups when dams were dosed with the drug orally during the lactation period . When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will be present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for MYQORZO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from MYQORZO or from the underlying maternal condition.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of MYQORZO in pediatric patients have not been established.

8.5 Geriatric Use There were 57 (40%) MYQORZO-treated patients, aged 65 years and older, in SEQUOIA-HCM [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Of the total number of MYQORZO-treated patients in SEQUOIA-HCM, 45 (32%) patients were 65 to 74 years of age, and 12 (8%) patients were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of MYQORZO have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

Risk Summary There are no available data on the use of MYQORZO during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. The underlying maternal condition during pregnancy poses a risk to the mother and fetus (see Clinical Considerations ) . In embryo-fetal and pre- and postnatal development studies, when pregnant rats were administered aficamten during the period of organogenesis, aficamten increased the incidence of structural malformations at exposures ≥4-times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 20 mg based on free area under the concentration curve (AUC) . No adverse effects on development were seen at 3-times the MRHD exposure (see Data ) . The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, and other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. There is a pregnancy safety study for MYQORZO. If MYQORZO is administered during pregnancy, or if a patient becomes pregnant while receiving MYQORZO or within 3 weeks after the last dose of MYQORZO, healthcare providers should report MYQORZO exposure by contacting Cytokinetics, Inc. at 1-833-633-2986. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and Embryo-Fetal Risk Obstructive HCM in pregnancy has been associated with increased risk for preterm birth. Data Animal Data Aficamten given to pregnant rats (2, 6 and 9 mg/kg/day) during the period of organogenesis was associated with increased external fetal malformations (kinked tail) at aficamten exposures 5-times the clinical exposures at the MRHD based on free AUC, with uncertain human relevance. Increased post-implantation loss (early and late resorptions) and decreased mean fetal body weight occurred in the presence of significant maternal toxicity at exposures 5-times the clinical exposures at the MRHD. No adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed at 6 mg/kg/day, representing 3-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD. Pregnant rabbits given aficamten (5, 10 and 20/15 mg/kg/day) during the period of embryofetal organogenesis showed a numerical increase in post-implantation loss (late resorptions) and fetuses with cardiac malformations at 10 mg/kg/day. However, no increase in malformations was observed at the high dose of 20/15 mg/kg/day, a dose that caused significant maternal toxicity (leading to dose reduction from 20 to 15 mg/kg/day during the study) at clinically relevant exposures. Pregnant rats given aficamten (0.5, 1.5, 6 mg/kg/day) during embryofetal organogenesis through offspring weaning in a pre- and postnatal development study had reduced offspring viability at the 6 mg/kg/day in the presence of maternal toxicity, at 4-times the clinical exposure at the MRHD based on free AUC. An increased number of offspring with bent tails was also observed at the 6 mg/kg/day. No adverse maternal toxicity or developmental effects occurred at 1.5 mg/kg/day, which corresponds to clinical exposure at the MRHD. Aficamten did not affect neurobehavioral parameters, sexual maturation, or reproductive function of the offspring at any dose.

The safety and effectiveness of MYQORZO in pediatric patients have not been established.

There were 57 (40%) MYQORZO-treated patients, aged 65 years and older, in SEQUOIA-HCM [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Of the total number of MYQORZO-treated patients in SEQUOIA-HCM, 45 (32%) patients were 65 to 74 years of age, and 12 (8%) patients were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness of MYQORZO have been observed between patients 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients.

MYQORZO tablets for oral use contain aficamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor. The chemical name of aficamten is (R)-N-(5-(5-ethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1 H -inden-1-yl)-1-methyl-1 H -pyrazole-4-carboxamide. The molecular formula is C 18 H 19 N 5 O 2 and the molecular weight is 337.38 g/mol. The structural formula of aficamten is: Aficamten is a white to off-white to yellow to grey solid that is practically insoluble in water and aqueous buffers (pH 2 – 9), sparingly soluble in acetone and ethanol, and soluble in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). MYQORZO is supplied as tablets containing 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, or 20 mg of aficamten per tablet as the active ingredient and the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, magnesium stearate (non-bovine), mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and sodium lauryl sulfate. The tablet coating contains carmine, FD&C Blue No. 2, glyceryl mono and dicaprylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol graft polyethylene copolymer, talc and titanium dioxide. Chemical Structure

Aficamten is an allosteric and reversible inhibitor of cardiac myosin motor activity. Aficamten reduces the force generated by myosin at the cardiac sarcomere, which contributes to the pathophysiology of HCM. In patients with HCM, myosin inhibition with aficamten reduces cardiac contractility and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.

Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction In SEQUOIA-HCM, reductions in LVOT-G were observed at 2 weeks after initiating treatment, and LVOT-G continued to decrease through Week 8. The reduction in LVOT-G was sustained through the remainder of the 24-week trial. At Week 24, the mean (SD) change from baseline in resting and Valsalva LVOT-G was -35 (29) mmHg and -48 (37) mmHg, respectively, for the MYQORZO group and 4 (35) mmHg and 2 (35) mmHg, respectively, for the placebo group. The reduction in LVOT-G was accompanied by a greater decrease in LVEF in the MYQORZO group compared to the placebo group with mean (SD) change from baseline in LVEF of -7 (7)% and -2 (6)%, respectively. Four weeks after discontinuation of treatment, LVEF and Valsalva LVOT-G returned to baseline. Cardiac Structure In SEQUOIA-HCM, maximal left ventricular wall thickness, left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and left atrial volume index (LAVI) were measured at baseline and Week 24. At Week 24, the mean (SD) maximal left ventricular wall thickness decreased in the MYQORZO group by -0.2 (0.3) cm and in the placebo group by -0.1 (0.3) cm. LVMI decreased in the MYQORZO group by -5.3 (24) g/m 2 and increased in the placebo group by 5.8 (25) g/m 2 . At Week 24, LAVI decreased in the MYQORZO group by -2.6 (8) mL/m 2 and increased in the placebo group by 1.4 (8) mL/m 2 . The clinical significance of these findings is unknown. Cardiac Biomarkers In SEQUOIA-HCM, reductions in NT-proBNP were observed in the MYQORZO group starting at Week 2 and were sustained through Week 24. At Week 24, NT-proBNP was 80% lower with MYQORZO compared to placebo (proportion of geometric mean ratio between MYQORZO and placebo, 0.20 [95% CI: 0.17, 0.23]). At both Week 12 and 24, troponin I was 40% lower with MYQORZO compared to placebo (proportion of geometric mean ratio between the two groups, 0.57 [95% CI: 0.51, 0.64]). The clinical significance of the NT-proBNP and troponin findings is unknown. Cardiac Electrophysiology The results of a thorough QT study demonstrated a lack of QTc prolongation across the therapeutic concentration range of MYQORZO. At a single dose of 50 mg (similar exposure to 20 mg daily dosing to steady-state), the upper limit of the predicted placebo-corrected change from baseline in QT interval corrected by Fridericia (ΔΔQTcF) 90% confidence interval for MYQORZO was <10 msec.

Aficamten exposure increases dose proportionally following single doses of 1 mg to 75 mg and multiple once daily doses of 5 mg to 20 mg. Aficamten pharmacokinetics was comparable between healthy subjects and patients with oHCM. Geometric mean accumulation ratios for aficamten were similar across dose levels and ranged from 4.6 to 4.8. Steady state is predicted to be reached following approximately 17 days of once daily dosing of MYQORZO in patients with oHCM. Absorption Aficamten is rapidly absorbed with a median time to maximum concentration (T max ) of 1.5 to 2.0 hours. The bioavailability of aficamten after oral administration is unknown. Effect of Food No clinically significant differences in aficamten AUC and C max were observed following its administration with a high-fat, high-calorie meal. Distribution Aficamten is approximately 90% bound to plasma proteins and demonstrates a volume of distribution of 313 L. The blood to plasma ratio of aficamten was 0.94. Elimination Aficamten has a median terminal half-life (t½) of approximately 80 hours in patients with oHCM. At steady-state, the peak-to-trough plasma concentration ratio with once daily dosing is approximately 1.2. The total clearance is 2.6 L/hr and the renal clearance is <0.1% of total clearance. Metabolism Aficamten is extensively metabolized in humans, primarily through CYP2C9 with contributions by CYP3A, CYP2D6, and CYP2C19. Aficamten is primarily metabolized to two pharmacologically inactive metabolites, CK-3834282 and CK-3834283, that circulate at approximately 56% and 103% of parent in plasma, respectively. Excretion Following a single 20 mg radiolabeled dose of aficamten, 32% (0.06% unchanged aficamten) was excreted in urine and 58% (5.1% unchanged aficamten) was excreted in feces. Specific Populations No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of aficamten were observed based on age (18 – 83 years), race, mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Classes A and B), or mild to moderate renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min normalized by body surface area and based on the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation). The effects of severe renal (eGFR <30 mL/min based on MDRD equation) or hepatic (Child-Pugh Class C) impairment are unknown. Small differences in aficamten exposure with sex and body weight were observed. Female patients demonstrated a 31% higher mean exposure (AUC) compared to male patients. The highest body weight quartile of patients (median: 105 kg) demonstrated a 34% lower aficamten mean exposure (AUC) than the lowest body weight quartile of patients (median: 64 kg). These differences are not clinically significant. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Inhibitors and Inducers of CYP enzymes: The predicted and observed effect of coadministration of select CYP inhibitors and inducers on the plasma exposure of aficamten is provided in Table 3.

In Vitro Drug Interaction Studies CYP enzymes: Aficamten is not expected to inhibit CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 at clinically relevant concentrations. Aficamten is not expected to induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6 or CYP3A4 at clinically relevant concentrations. Transporter systems: Aficamten is not a sensitive substrate of drug transporters. Aficamten is not expected to inhibit BCRP, OCT2, OCT3, OAT1, OAT3, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1 or MATE2-K drug transporters at clinically relevant concentrations.

, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Carcinogenesis The carcinogenic potential of aficamten was assessed in a 26-week study in transgenic rasH2 mice and a 2-year study in Sprague Dawley rats. There was no evidence of carcinogenicity with oral administration of aficamten at dose levels up to 2.0 mg/kg/day in the mouse or 3 mg/kg/day in the rat (corresponding to 4-fold the MRHD based on free AUC). Mutagenesis Aficamten was not genotoxic in the in vitro bacterial (Ames) mutagenicity assay or the combined in vivo micronucleus assay and comet assay in rat. Impairment of Fertility In a fertility and early embryonic development toxicology study in the rat, aficamten was administered at doses up to 6 mg/kg/day in females and 3 mg/kg/day in males, with no drug-related effects on mating, fertility, estrous cycling, male reproductive assessments, or early embryonic survival.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient and/or caregiver to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide). Heart Failure Inform patients that cardiac function monitoring using echocardiography must be performed before and while on treatment to monitor for signs and symptoms of heart failure [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Advise patients to report any signs or symptoms of heart failure immediately to their healthcare provider. MYQORZO REMS Program MYQORZO is available only through a restricted program called the MYQORZO REMS Program [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Inform the patient of the following notable requirements: Patients must enroll in the program and comply with ongoing monitoring requirements [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and (5.2) ] MYQORZO is only prescribed by certified healthcare providers and only dispensed from certified pharmacies participating in the program. Provide patients with the telephone number and website for information on how to obtain the product [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ]. Pregnancy Advise patients that there is a pregnancy safety study for MYQORZO. Advise patients to report pregnancy to their prescriber if they become pregnant while receiving MYQORZO or within 3 weeks after their last dose of MYQORZO [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] . Drug Interactions Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant medications they take, prior to and during MYQORZO treatment. Instructions for Taking MYQORZO MYQORZO tablets should be swallowed whole. Advise patients that if they miss a dose of MYQORZO, it should be taken as soon as possible on the same day. The next scheduled dose should be taken at the usual time the following day. The patient should not take two doses on the same day.
