About MyoKardia
MyoKardia is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company pioneering a precision medicine approach to discover,
develop and commercialize targeted therapies for the treatment of
serious and rare cardiovascular diseases. MyoKardia’s initial
focus is on the treatment of heritable cardiomyopathies, a group of
rare, genetically driven forms of heart failure that result from
biomechanical defects in cardiac muscle contraction. MyoKardia has
used its precision medicine platform to generate a pipeline of
therapeutic programs for the chronic treatment of two of the most
prevalent forms of heritable cardiomyopathy – hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy (HCM), and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). MyoKardia’s
most advanced product candidate is mavacamten (formerly MYK-461), a
novel, oral, allosteric modulator of cardiac myosin intended to
reduce hypercontractility. Mavacamten is being studied in a
pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, known as EXPLORER-HCM, in patients
with symptomatic, obstructive HCM. MyoKardia is also
developing mavacamten in a second indication, non-obstructive HCM,
in the Phase 2 MAVERICK-HCM clinical trial. MYK-491, MyoKardia’s
second product candidate, is designed to increase the overall
extent of the heart’s contraction in DCM patients by increasing
cardiac contractility. MyoKardia is currently evaluating MYK-491 in
a Phase 1b study in DCM patients. A cornerstone of the
MyoKardia platform is the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry
(SHaRe), a multi-center, international repository of clinical and
laboratory data on individuals and families with genetic heart
disease, which MyoKardia helped form in 2014. MyoKardia’s
mission is to change the world for patients with serious
cardiovascular disease through bold and innovative science.
