Under the risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) program for mavacamten, patients are required to be monitored for development of systolic heart failure, and reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to <50%. We report results from the mavacamten REMS database (28-Apr-2022 to 27-Feb-2024). <b>Methods:</b> Data on healthcare providers and pharmacy certification, patient monitoring (from Patient Status Forms, based partly on echocardiograms), and screening for drug interactions prior to each dispense were collected. <b>Results:</b> Of 6,299 patients who received ≥1 dose of mavacamten, 60.0% were women; 64.6% were >60 years of age.

Using plasma proteomics profiling, we aimed to identify circulating biomarkers and dysregulated signaling pathways specific to HCM. <b>Methods:</b> In this multicenter case-control study, plasma proteomics profiling was performed in cases with HCM and controls with hypertensive LVH, ATTR-CM, and AS. Two-thirds of patients enrolled earlier in each disease group were defined as the training set, and the remaining one-third as the test set. Protein concentrations in HCM were compared with those in hypertensive LVH (comparison 1), ATTR-CM (comparison 2), and AS (comparison 3). Candidate proteins that meet the following 2 criteria were selected: (1) Higher abundance in HCM throughout all 3 comparisons or lower abundance in HCM throughout all 3 comparisons with univariable P<0.05 and |log<sub>2</sub>(fold change)| >0.5 in both the training and test sets and (2) Independently associated with HCM with multivariable P<0.05 after adjusting for clinical parameters significantly different between HCM and controls. Using the selected candidate proteins, a logistic regression model to distinguish HCM from controls was developed in the training set and applied to the test set. Finally, pathway analysis was performed in each comparison using proteins with different abundance. <b>Results:</b> Overall, 4,979 proteins in 1,415 patients (HCM, n=879; hypertensive LVH, n=331; ATTR-CM, n=169; AS, n=36) were analyzed.
