HF is a condition most commonly marked by cardiac systolic dysfunction. While several interventions have been shown to reduce the rate of HF hospitalizations and improve mortality, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, aldosterone antagonists, coronary revascularization, and biventricular pacing, 1 mortality and morbidity still remain high. Another target for treatment of HF is to improve myocardial contractility. 2 Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel therapy to increase cardiac contractility. It increases stroke volume, decreases filling pressures, and improves ventricular volumes by increasing the left ventricular systolic ejection time, without increasing the rate of left ventricular pressure development or heart rate, and without noticeable effect upon myocardial oxygen uptake, blood pressure, or coronary blood flow. 3-7 Study Organization COSMIC-HF: Primary Objectives To select an oral modified release (MR) formulation and dose of OM for chronic twice daily (BID) dosing in subjects with HF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction To characterize its pharmacokinetics (PK) over 20 weeks of treatment COSMIC-HF: Secondary Objectives To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral OM 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 OM To evaluate the effect over 20 weeks of oral dosing with OM on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) To evaluate the PK of OM metabolites with oral OM dosing References 1.

Background• Heart failure (HF) is a progressive disorder with a natural history punctuated by frequent

recurrent hospitalizations and ultimately death.• HF is a condition most commonly marked by cardiac systolic dysfunction.• While several interventions have been shown to reduce the rate of HF hospitalizations

and improve mortality, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, aldosterone antagonists, coronary revascularization, and biventricular pacing,1 mortality and morbidity still remain high.

• Another target for treatment of HF is to improve myocardial contractility.2

• Omecamtiv mecarbil (OM) is a novel therapy to increase cardiac contractility. It increases stroke volume, decreases filling pressures, and improves ventricular volumes by increasing the left ventricular systolic ejection time, without increasing the rate of left ventricular pressure development or heart rate, and without noticeable effect upon myocardial oxygen uptake, blood pressure, or coronary blood flow.3-7

Study Organization

COSMIC-HF: Primary Objectives• To select an oral modified release (MR) formulation and dose of OM for chronic twice

daily (BID) dosing in subjects with HF and left ventricular systolic dysfunction• To characterize its pharmacokinetics (PK) over 20 weeks of treatment

COSMIC-HF: Secondary Objectives• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral OM• 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 OM

• To evaluate the effect over 20 weeks of oral dosing with OM on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)

• To evaluate the PK of OM metabolites with oral OM dosing
