The impact of mavacamten dosing on wall thickness regression: an insight from longer term follow-up based on genetic profile

Am Heart JPublished Observational study

Authors' conclusion

We hypothesize that this lower dosing attenuated the long-term benefit of mavacamten in genetically positive patients.

Study context

Population
Patients treated with mavacamten
Exposure
Genetically positive vs genetically negative patients on mavacamten
Outcome
LV wall thickness regression
Follow-up
Long-term

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Less favorable remodeling (LV wall thickness regression) in genetically positive vs genetically negative patients, despite better early response

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Mavacamten dose

Majority of genetically positive patients maintained on only 2.5 mg due to early robust response
