Exclusion criteria: • History of any other cardiovascular disorder, including aortic stenosis, aortic coarctation, hypertension, renal artery stenosis, atrial fibrillation • NYHA Class III / IV heart failure • Diabetes Mellitus • Contraindication to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning (including claustrophobia) • Known hypersensitivity to Trientine or excipients • Known hypersensitivity to Gadolinium-based contrast agent • eGFR 40kg/m2 • History of significant malabsorption • Copper deficiency at baseline • Iron deficiency at baseline • Haemoglobin 2 years post- menopausal and/or not surgically sterilised) must have a negative blood serum pregnancy test, performed at visit 1 prior to administration of study medication • Any clinically significant or unstable medical or psychiatric condition that would interfere with the patient’s ability to participate in the study • Any other condition, which in the opinion of the research team, may put participants at risk during the study, or which may affect the outcome of the study • New medication within the preceding month of the study (excluding short term prescriptions) • Participation in another study involving an investigational product in the previous 12 weeks

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: i. Does Trientine lead to an improvement in high-energy phosphate metabolism (myocardial energetics, i.e. energy processing) in patients with HCM?; Secondary Objective: ii. Does Trientine lead to reduction in left ventricular (LV) i.e. heart muscle mass in patients with HCM? iii. Does Trientine lead to an improvement in myocardial fibrosis (heart muscle scarring) in HCM? iv. Does Trientine lead to improved exercise capacity in patients with HCM? ;Primary end point(s): To evaluate the change in myocardial energetics, as measured using cardiac MRI, in patients with HCM after treatment with Trientine.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This end-point will be evaluated after 6 months of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): ii. Does Trientine lead to reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass in patients with HCM? iii. Does Trientine lead to an improvement in myocardial fibrosis in HCM? iv. Does Trientine lead to improved exercise capacity in patients with HCM? ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: These end-point will be evaluated after 6 months of treatment
