Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
1.Able to understand and comply with the study procedures, understand the risks involved in the study, and provide written informed consent according to federal, local, and institutional guidelines before the first study specific procedure
2.Is at least 18 years old at Screening
3.Body weight is greater than 45 kg at Screening
4.Has adequate acoustic windows to enable accurate TTEs
5.Diagnosed with oHCM consistent with current American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology guidelines, ie, satisfy both criteria below (criteria to be documented by the echocardiography core laboratory):
A.Has unexplained left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with nondilated ventricular chambers in the absence of other cardiac (eg, hypertension, aortic stenosis) or systemic disease and with maximal LV wall thickness =15 mm (or =13 mm with positive family history of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [HCM]), and
B.Has LVOT peak gradient =50 mmHg during Screening as assessed by echocardiography at rest, after Valsalva maneuver, or postexercise (confirmed by echocardiography core laboratory interpretation)
6.Has documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) =55% by echocardiography core laboratory read of Screening TTE
7.Has New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or III symptoms at Screening
8.Has documented oxygen saturation at rest =90% at Screening
9.Is able to perform an upright CPET and has a respiratory exchange ratio (RER) =1.0 at Screening per central reading; if the RER is between 0.91 and 1.0, the participant may be enrolled only if it is determined by the central CPET laboratory that peak exercise has been achieved in the subject (the only permitted reasons for subpeak performance are [1] a decrease in systolic blood pressure or [2] severe angina as described in the CPET Laboratory Manual)
10.Female participants must not be pregnant or lactating and, if sexually active, must be using one of the following acceptable birth control methods from the Screening visit through 3 months after the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP). Hormonal contraceptives are not considered highly effective contraception for this study because mavacamten could reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives.
•Double barrier method (eg, vasectomy or male using a condom and female using a diaphragm or cervical cap)
•Barrier (eg, male using a condom) plus female uses non hormonal intrauterine device or intrauterine system
•Female is surgically sterile for 6 months or postmenopausal for 2 years. Permanent sterilization includes hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and/or documented bilateral tubal occlusion at least 6 months prior to Screening. Females are considered postmenopausal if they have had amenorrhea for at least 2 years or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and follicle stimulating hormone levels are in the postmenopausal range
11.Male participants with sexual partners must agree to use condoms for the duration of the study and for 3 months after the last dose of IMP in order to prevent passing mavacamten to the partner in the ejaculate
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 187
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes

Exclusion criteria:
1.Previously participated in a clinical study with mavacamten
2.Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the mavacamten formulation
3.Participated in a clinical trial in which the participant received any investigational drug (or is currently using an investigational device) within 30 days of Screening, or at least 5x the respective elimination half life (whichever is longer)
4.Infiltrative or storage disorder causing CH that mimics oHCM, such as Fabry disease, amyloidosis, or Noonan syndrome with LVH
5.Medical condition that precludes upright exercise stress testing
6.History of syncope or sustained VT with exercise within 6 months prior to Screening
7.History of resuscitated sudden CA (at any time) or history of appropriate ICD discharge for life-threatening VA within 6 months prior to Screening
8.Has paroxysmal, intermittent AF with AF present per the investigator’s evaluation of the participant’s ECG at time of Screening
9.Has persistent/permanent AF not on anticoagulation for at least 4 weeks to Screening &/or not adequately rate controlled within 6 months prior to Screening
10.Current treatment (within 14 days to Screening) or planned treatment during the study with disopyramide or ranolazine
11.Current treatment (within 14 days prior to Screening) or planned treatment during the study with a combination of ß-blockers and verapamil or a combination of ß-blockers and diltiazem
12.Individuals on ß-blockers, verapamil, or diltiazem, any dose adjustment of that medication <14 days to Screening or any anticipated change in treatment regimen using these medications during the study
13.Has LVOT gradient with Valsalva maneuver <30 mmHg at Screening TTE
14.Successfully treated with ISR (surgical myectomy or percutaneous alcohol septal ablation [ASA]) within 6 months prior to Screening or plans to have either of these treatments during the study
15.ICD placement within 6 months prior to Screening or planned ICD placement during study
16.Has QT interval with Fridericia correction (QTcF) >480 ms or other ECG abnormality considered by investigator to pose risk to participant safety (eg, second-degree atrioventricular block type II)
17.Documented OCAD (>70% stenosis in one or more epicardial coronary arteries) or history of MI
18.Moderate or severe (as per investigator’s judgment) AVS at Screening
19.Acute or serious comorbid condition (eg, major infection or hematologic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, or endocrine dysfunction) that, in the judgment of the investigator, could lead to premature termination of study participation or interfere with the measurement or interpretation of the efficacy & safety assessments in the study
20.Has pulmonary disease that limits exercise capacity or systemic arterial oxygen saturation
21.History of clinically significant malignant disease within 10 years of Screening:
•Who have been successfully treated for nonmetastatic cutaneous squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma or been adequately treated for cervical carcinoma in situ can be included in the study
•With other malignancies who are cancer free for more than 10 years before Screening can be included in the study
22.Has safety laboratory parameters (chemistry, hematology, coagulation, & urinalysis) outside normal limits (according to the central laboratory reference range) at Screening as assessed by the central laboratory; however, participant with safety laboratory parameters outside normal limits may be included if he or she meets all of the f
