Dosage

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Dosage must be individualized based on clinical status and echocardiographic assessment of patient response. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information for instructions. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Initiation, Maintenance, and Interruption of Treatment Confirm absence of pregnancy and usage of effective contraception in females of reproductive potential [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] . Initiation or up-titration of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. The recommended starting dose is 5 mg orally once daily without regard to food; allowable subsequent doses with titration are 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg orally once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 15 mg orally once daily. Patients may develop heart failure while taking CAMZYOS.

Side Effects

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reaction is discussed in other sections of the labeling: • Heart failure [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Adverse reactions occurring in >5% of patients and more commonly on CAMZYOS than on placebo were dizziness (27%) and syncope (6%). ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Bristol-Myers Squibb at 1-800-721-5072 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Weak to moderate CYP2C19 inhibitors and moderate to strong CYP3A4 inhibitors : May increase risk of heart failure. If initiating an inhibitor, CAMZYOS dose reduction and additional monitoring are required. ( 2.2 , 7.1 ) • Negative inotropes : Close medical supervision and LVEF monitoring is recommended if a negative inotrope is initiated, or the dose of a negative inotrope is increased. Avoid certain combinations of negative inotropes. ( 7.3 ) 7.1 Potential for Other Drugs to Affect Plasma Concentrations of CAMZYOS Mavacamten is primarily metabolized by CYP2C19 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4 and CYP2C9.

Warnings

WARNING: RISK OF HEART FAILURE CAMZYOS reduces left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and can cause heart failure due to systolic dysfunction [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Echocardiogram assessments of LVEF are required prior to and during treatment with CAMZYOS. Initiation of CAMZYOS in patients with LVEF <55% is not recommended. 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Heart Failure : Consider interruption of CAMZYOS in patients with intercurrent illness. ( 2.1 , 5.1 ) • Drug Interactions Leading to Heart Failure or Loss of Effectiveness : Advise patients of the potential for drug interactions including with over-the-counter medications. ( 4 , 5.2 , 17 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity : May cause fetal harm. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception until 4 months after the last dose. Avoid concomitant use with a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains a progestin other than norethindrone. ( 5.4 , 7.2 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Heart Failure CAMZYOS reduces systolic contraction and can cause heart failure or significantly reduce ventricular function. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS CAMZYOS is contraindicated with concomitant use of: • Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] • Moderate to strong CYP2C19 inducers or moderate to strong CYP3A4 inducers [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) , Drug Interactions (7.1) ] • Strong CYP2C19 inhibitors.

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on animal data, CAMZYOS may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant female. There are no human data on the use of CAMZYOS during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. The underlying maternal condition during pregnancy poses a risk to the mother and fetus (see Clinical Considerations ) . Advise pregnant females about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to CAMZYOS during pregnancy.
