In general, optimal treatment will include a beta-blocker and an ACE inhibitor and/or an angiotensin receptor blocker at doses shown to be efficacious in HF trials, unless not tolerated. Stable medical therapy is defined as having no new HF drug class introduced or uptitrated = 4 weeks prior to randomization. 4.1.5 LVEF = 40% (echocardiogram, radionuclide ventriculography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, or contrast ventriculography) within 18 months prior to randomization and without an intervening value of > 40%. 4.1.6 NT-proBNP = 200 pg/mL (= 1200 pg/mL if the subject has atrial fibrillation at presentation) at screening; (Note: enrollment of subjects with atrial fibrillation will be limited to up to approximately 20% of planned enrollment in each cohort). Expansion Phase: 4.1.7 Subject has provided informed consent. 4.1.8 Male or female = 18 years and = 85 years of age at the time of informed consent. 4.1.9 History of chronic HF, defined as requiring treatment for HF for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to screening. 4.1.10 Treated for HF with stable, optimal pharmacological therapy. In general, optimal treatment will include a beta-blocker and an ACE inhibitor and/or an angiotensin receptor blocker at doses shown to be efficacious in HF trials, unless not tolerated. Stable medical therapy is defined as having no new HF drug class introduced or uptitrated = 4 weeks prior to randomization. 4.1.11 NYHA class II or III symptoms. 4.1.12 LVEF = 40% by centrally read screening echocardiogram. 4.1.13 Acceptable echocardiographic image quality of screening echocardiogram per central echo core laboratory 4.1.14 NT-proBNP = 200 pg/mL (= 1200 pg/mL if the subject has atrial fibrillation at presentation) at screening; (Note: enrollment of subjects with atrial fibrillation will be limited to up to approximately 20% of planned cohort enrollment). 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 280 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 290

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: (i) to select an oral modified release (MR) formulation and dose of omecamtiv mecarbil for chronic twice daily (BID) dosing in subjects with HF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and (ii) to characterize its pharmacokinetics (PK) over 20 weeks of treatment.;Secondary Objective: to evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral omecamtiv mecarbil to measure changes in systolic ejection time (SET), stroke volume, left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), and heart rate over 20 weeks of oral dosing with omecamtiv mecarbil to evaluate the effect over 20 weeks of oral dosing with omecamtiv mecarbil on N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) to evaluate the PK of omecamtiv mecarbil metabolites with oral omecamtiv mecarbil dosing ;Primary end point(s): Dose Escalation Phase: Cmax, time at which Cmax is attained (Tmax), Cmin and AUC12h of omecamtiv mecarbil Expansion Phase: Cmax and concentration prior to investigational product administration (Cpredose) of omecamtiv mecarbil;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Dose Escalation Phase: following dose on day 7 Expansion Phase: at weeks 2, 8, 12, 16 and 20 following chronic oral BID dosing

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Expansion phase only: changes from baseline in SET, stroke volume, LVESD, LVEDD, and HR change from baseline in NT-proBNP;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At week 20
