Summary

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a heritable heart condition that leads to the thickening of the heart muscle and causes obstruction of blood flow, impeding it's ejection from the heart (LVOT obstruction). Often individuals with HOCM suffer from chest pain and shortness of breath due to lack of oxygen supply (ischaemia) to the heart muscle in the absence of blockages in the coronary arteries. Despite proven advances in treatment of LVOT obstruction with the novel medication Camzyos (Mavacamten), there is a limited understanding of its effect on myocardial ischaemia. This study, called the PEACH Trial, is designed to assess whether Camzyos also improves blood supply (perfusion) to the heart muscle in patients with HOCM. A specialised imaging technique called Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET-CT), using Rubidium-82 will be used to evaluate blood flow to the heart muscle before and after treatment. Camzyos is part of participants' regular clinical treatment and is not being supplied, administered, or influenced by the study in any way. Participants with HOCM who are starting treatment with Camzyos as part of their clinical care will undergo a baseline PET-CT scan (if not already done), and a second scan after 12 months. The follow-up scan is done solely for research purposes. The scans will allow researchers to evaluate whether the medication improves myocardial perfusion in addition to relieving outflow obstruction. The study is sponsored by the University of Manchester and funded by Bristol Myers Squibb. It will involve up to 75 participants recruited at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The findings could help improve understanding of how Camzyos works and support personalised treatment approaches in HOCM.
