A Prospective Registry Study to Assess Real-world Patient Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, and Longitudinal Outcomes in Patients Receiving Mavacamten and Other Treatments for Symptomatic Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (Obstructive-HCM)
(DISCOVER-HCM)
What this study is about
This registry evaluates patient characteristics, real-world treatment patterns, and short- and long-term outcomes in a population of patients in the United States and Europe with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who are receiving mavacamten, receiving other treatment for obstructive HCM, or not receiving treatment for obstructive HCM due to intolerance or failure of prior treatment. United States Sub-Study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of mavacamten in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM in the real-world setting. Europe Sub-Study: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mavacamten in patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM in the real-world setting.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.
- Willing and able to provide written informed consent form (ICF) and any required privacy authorization prior to the initiation of study procedures (or in those situations where consent cannot be given by participants, consent provided by their legally acceptable representatives) United States Sub-Study
- Diagnosis of obstructive HCM consistent with 2020 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guidelines.
- Obstructive HCM is defined clinically by the presence of increased LV wall thickness ≥ 15 mm (or ≥ 13 mm with positive family history of HCM) in a nondilated ventricular chamber that is not solely explained by abnormal loading conditions (eg, another cardiac or systemic disease) and peak LVOT gradient of ≥ 30 mmHg at rest or with provocation.
- Has documented LVEF of ≥ 55% recorded by echocardiography within the last 6 months.
- Symptoms consistent with NYHA functional class II-IV.
- Receiving beta blocker (BB)s, non-dihydropyridine calcium. channel blockers (nonDHP CCBs), disopyramide, and/or mavacamten (once available) as part of routine clinical care; or currently receiving no treatment due to intolerance or failure of prior treatment (eg, BBs, non-DHP CCBs, or disopyramide) for obstructive HCM. European Sub-study
- Diagnosis of obstructive HCM consistent with the most recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guidelines
- Documented LVEF of ≥55% recorded by TTE
- Documented symptoms consistent with NYHA functional class II-III at enrollment or within 6 months prior to enrollment (if not available at enrollment).
- As part of routine clinical care for obstructive HCM: receiving BBs, non-DHP CCBs, disopyramide; initiating mavacamten at enrollment; or currently receiving no treatment due to intolerance or failure of prior treatment (e.g., BBs, non-DHP CCBs, or disopyramide).
Exclusion criteria
- Known phenocopy disease (e.g., Fabry disease, amyloidosis) or LV hypertrophy associated with hypertension.
- Documentation of any fixed obstruction of the outflow tract such as aortic valve stenosis or replacement.
- Prior treatment of obstructive HCM with invasive septal reduction (surgical myectomy or percutaneous alcohol septal ablation \[ASA\]) within 6 months prior to enrollment; participants with an unsuccessful myectomy or percutaneous ASA performed \> 6 months prior to enrollment may be enrolled.
- Naïve to treatment for obstructive HCM (ie, never treated with BBs, nonDHP CCBs, or disopyramide). United States Sub-Study
- Receiving an investigational therapeutic agent for obstructive HCM (eg, myosin-inhibitors other than mavacamten) in an interventional clinical trial at participant enrollment.
- Previously or currently enrolled in a long-term safety extension study of mavacamten (eg, EXPLORER-HCM \[ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03470545\], MAVA-LTE \[NCT03723655\], PIONEER-OLE \[NCT03496168\], VALORHCM \[NCT04349072\], or MAVERICK \[NCT03442764\]) European Sub-study
- Receiving an investigational therapeutic agent or any cardiac myosin inhibitor and/or modulators for obstructive HCM at patient enrolment
- Previously or currently enrolled in other HCM registry studies (e.g., TORCH, REMY, EU-PASS)
- Previously or currently enrolled in a study of mavacamten (e.g., EXPLORER-HCM \[ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03470545\], MAVA-LTE \[NCT03723655\], PIONEER-OLE \[NCT03496168\], VALOR-HCM \[NCT04349072\], MAVERICK \[NCT03442764\], or MEMENTO \[NCT2264899\])

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
