Mechanism of action
Aficamten binds directly to the catalytic (motor) domain of cardiac myosin (β‑myosin heavy chain).
It stabilizes myosin in a weak actin‑binding state, preventing transition into the force‑generating state.
This reduces the number of active myosin heads, resulting in:
Decreased myocardial hypercontractility
Reduced left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction
Overall effect: improved diastolic function and symptom relief in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM).
Indication
Treatment of adults with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to:
Improve functional capacity
Reduce symptoms such as dyspnea and exercise intolerance
