"The resoundingly positive data from EXPLORER bring us a significant step closer to improving the lives of people with serious cardiovascular conditions, starting with HCM, a debilitating disease estimated to affect one in every 500 people," said Tassos Gianakakos, Chief Executive Officer of MyoKardia. "The activity and tolerability profile observed for mavacamten in this pivotal study underscores the profound impact and potential for therapeutics that target the underlying biology of disease. We look forward to the submission of MyoKardia's first New Drug Application and, importantly, to serving the many patients that stand to benefit from mavacamten."
