What is CAMZYOS

CAMZYOS contains the active ingredient mavacamten. Mavacamten is a reversible inhibitor of cardiac myosin, meaning it changes the action of myosin, a muscle protein, in heart cells.

What is CAMZYOS used for

CAMZYOS is used to treat adults with a type of heart disease called obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHCM) that causes symptoms.

About obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHCM) is a disease in which the walls of the left heart chamber (ventricle) contract more forcefully and become thicker than normal. The thickening of the walls can block (obstruct) blood flow out of the heart and also make the heart stiff. This obstruction makes it harder for blood to enter and leave the heart and be pumped to the body with each heartbeat, a disease called obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (OHCM). Symptoms of OHCM include chest pain and difficulty breathing (especially with physical exercise); fatigue, abnormal heart rhythms, dizziness, feeling like you are about to faint, fainting (syncope), and swelling of the ankles, feet, legs, abdomen, and/or neck veins.

How CAMZYOS works

CAMZYOS works by reducing excessive heart contraction and blood flow obstruction to the body. As a result, it may improve your symptoms and ability to stay active.

Do not take CAMZYOS

• If you are allergic to mavacamten or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).
• If you are pregnant or may become pregnant and are not using effective birth control methods.
• If you are taking medications that may increase the level of CAMZYOS in your blood, such as:

• Oral medications for treating infections like itraconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, or voriconazole;
• Certain medications for treating bacterial infections like antibiotics or clarithromycin;
• Certain medications for treating HIV like cobicistat or ritonavir;
• Certain medications for treating cancer like certinib, idelalisib, or tucatinib;

Ask your doctor if the medication you are taking prevents you from taking mavacamten. See section "Other medications and CAMZYOS".

Warnings and precautions

Routine tests

Your doctor will evaluate the functioning of your heart using an echocardiogram (a test that takes images of your heart) before your first dose and periodically during treatment with CAMZYOS. It is very important to attend these appointments for echocardiograms so that your doctor can check the effect of CAMZYOS on your heart. You may need to adjust the dose of your treatment to improve the response or reduce side effects.

If you are a woman who may become pregnant, your doctor may perform a pregnancy test before starting treatment with CAMZYOS.

Your doctor may perform a test to know how this medication is degraded (metabolized) in your body, as this information can be used to guide your treatment with CAMZYOS (see section3).

Inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately

• If you have any of the following symptoms during your treatment with CAMZYOS:
• • Appearance or worsening of difficulty breathing,
  • Chest pain,
  • Fatigue,
  • Palpitations (strong, accelerated, or irregular heartbeats) or
  • Swelling of the legs.

These may be signs and symptoms of systolic dysfunction, a condition in which the heart is not pumping strongly enough, which can be potentially fatal and lead to heart failure.

• If you developa severe infection or irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia), as this could increase the risk of developing heart failure.

Your doctor may need to perform more tests of your cardiac function, interrupt treatment, or change the dose based on how you feel.

Women who may become pregnant

If used during pregnancy, CAMZYOS may harm the fetus. Before starting treatment with CAMZYOS, your doctor will inform you of the risk and ask you to perform a pregnancy test to ensure you are not pregnant. Your doctor will give you a card explaining why you should not become pregnant while taking CAMZYOS. You will also be told what to do to avoid becoming pregnant while taking CAMZYOS. You must use effective birth control methods during treatment and for 6months after stopping treatment (see section "Pregnancy and breastfeeding").

If you become pregnant while taking CAMZYOS, inform your doctor immediately. Your doctor will interrupt treatment (see "If you interrupt treatment with CAMZYOS" in section3).

Children and adolescents

Do not administer this medication to children (under 18years) because the efficacy and safety of CAMZYOS have not been studied in children or adolescents.

Other medications and CAMZYOS

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication. This is because other medications may affect the functioning of CAMZYOS.

Some medications may increase the amount of CAMZYOS in your body and, consequently, the likelihood of experiencing adverse effects that may be severe. Other medications may reduce the amount of CAMZYOS in your body and may reduce its beneficial effects.

Especially, before taking CAMZYOS, inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have taken recently any of the following medications, or if you have changed your dose:

• Some medications used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach (such as cimetidine, omeprazole, esomeprazole, or pantoprazole).
• Antibiotics for bacterial infections (such as clarithromycin, erythromycin).
• Medications for treating fungal infections (such as itraconazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole, posaconazole, and voriconazole).
• Medications used to treat depression (such as fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, or citalopram).
• Medications for HIV infections (such as ritonavir, cobicistat, or efavirenz).
• Rifampicin (an antibiotic for bacterial infections such as tuberculosis).
• Apalutamide, enzalutamide, mitotane, ceritinib, idelalisib, ribociclib, tucatinib (medications used to treat different types of cancer).
• Medications for seizures or epilepsy (such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, or primidone).
• St. John's Wort (a medication made from plants to treat depression).
• Medications that affect the heart (such as beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, for example, verapamil and diltiazem).
• Medications that make the heart more resistant to abnormal activity (such as sodium channel blockers, for example, disopyramide).
• Ticlopidine (a medication that prevents heart attacks and strokes).
• Letermovir (a medication for treating cytomegalovirus infections).
• Noretindrone (medication for treating various menstrual problems).
• Prednisone (corticosteroid).

If you take or have taken any of these medications, or have changed your dose, your doctor should closely monitor you, as you may need to adjust the dose of CAMZYOS or consider alternative treatments.

If you are unsure whether you are taking any of the medications mentioned above, ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking CAMZYOS. Before interrupting or changing the dose of a medication or starting a new one, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take any of the above medications occasionally or occasionally (instead of in a regular schedule), as this could change the amount of CAMZYOS in your body.

Administration of CAMZYOS with food and beverages

You should be cautious when taking grapefruit juice while taking CAMZYOS, as it may alter the amount of CAMZYOS in your body.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you think you may be pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication.

Pregnancy

Do not take CAMZYOS during pregnancy or for 6months before becoming pregnant, or if you may become pregnant and are not using effective birth control methods. CAMZYOS may harm the fetus. If you are a woman who may become pregnant, your doctor will inform you of this risk and check if you are pregnant before starting treatment and regularly during treatment. Your doctor will give you a card explaining why you should not become pregnant while taking CAMZYOS. If you become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately.
