Study Overview: Bristol-Myers Squibb Company initiated a study titled A Phase 2a, Open-label, Pilot Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, and Tolerability of MYK-224 in Participants With Symptomatic Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction (MERCUTIO). The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of MYK-224 in treating obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, a condition characterized by thickened heart muscles that can obstruct blood flow.
Intervention/Treatment: The study tested the drug MYK-224, administered either alone or in combination with standard treatments like beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, or disopyramide, to improve heart function in affected patients.
Study Design: This interventional study was non-randomized with a parallel assignment model, focusing on treatment as its primary purpose. No masking was involved, meaning both the researchers and participants were aware of the treatment being given.
Study Timeline: The study began on January 18, 2023. However, it was terminated before reaching primary completion. The last update was submitted on August 11, 2025, indicating the study’s premature conclusion.
Market Implications: The termination of this study could impact Bristol-Myers Squibb’s stock performance, as investors may react to the halted progress in developing MYK-224. This development could also influence the competitive landscape, as other pharmaceutical companies continue their efforts in similar therapeutic areas.
The study is no longer active, and further details can be accessed on the ClinicalTrials portal.
