Aficamten outperforms beta-blockers in treating symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, with better results and fewer side effects.
Aficamten, a cardiac myosin inhibitor, shows strong promise as a first-line treatment for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, outperforming traditional beta-blockers in reducing outflow tract gradients and improving symptoms, according to phase 3 trial data.
While no direct head-to-head trials exist, evidence from the MAPLE-HCM and other studies supports its efficacy and safety, with fewer side effects and a simpler risk management plan than other myosin inhibitors.
Despite this, insurance hurdles often require patients to try older therapies first.
The shift reflects a growing consensus that myosin inhibitors should be considered earlier in treatment for obstructed HCM, though they do not replace beta-blockers for other conditions like atrial fibrillation.
