CYTOKINETICS ANNOUNCES TRIAL RESULTS FOR CK-1827452
Cytokinetics has announced positive results today from a first-in-humans Phase I clinical trial evaluating CK-1827452, a novel cardiac myosin activator, administered intravenously. The clinical trial was designed as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial conducted to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic profile of a six-hour infusion of CK-1827452 in healthy volunteers.
In the trial, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined to be 0.5 mg/kg/hr for the six-hour infusion in healthy volunteers. At this dose, the six-hour infusion of CK-1827452 produced a statistically significant and clinically relevant increase in ejection fraction and fractional shortening as measured from baseline to the end of the infusion in comparison to placebo; these clinically relevant increases in cardiac function were associated with a statistically significant prolongation of systolic ejection time.
