Extract
To evaluate the effect of treatment with omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on the time to cardiovascular (CV) death or first HF event, whichever occurs first, in subjects with chronic HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) receiving standard of care (SoC) therapy. An HF event is defined as presentation of the patient for an urgent, unscheduled clinic/office/ED visit, or hospital admission, with a primary diagnosis of HF, where the patient exhibits new or worsening symptoms of HF on presentation, has objective evidence of new or worsening HF, and receives initiation or intensification of treatment specifically for HF (Hicks et al, 2015). Changes to oral diuretic therapy do not qualify as initiation or intensification of treatment.
