Protocol Synopsis 
Title:  A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety, 
Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Omecamtiv Mecarbil in Japanese Subjects With Heart Failure 
With Reduced Ejection Fraction 
Study Phase:  2 
Indication:  Heart Failure 
Primary Objectives:   
• 
To evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK) of omecamtiv mecarbil in Japanese subjects with heart 
failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction 
• 
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral omecamtiv mecarbil  
Secondary Objectives:   
• 
To measure changes in systolic ejection time (SET) by echocardiography following 16 weeks 
of treatment 
Hypotheses:  No formal hypothesis testing will be performed.  PK parameters following chronic 
(twice daily [BID] for 16 weeks) dosing will be estimated. 
Primary Endpoints:   
• 
Concentrations prior to administration (Cpredose) of omecamtiv mecarbil at weeks 2, 4, 12, and 
16, and area under the curve (AUC) at week 8 
Secondary Endpoint:   
• 
Changes from baseline in SET by echocardiography at week 16 
Safety Endpoints:   
• 
Subject incidence of adverse events  
• 
Changes from baseline in laboratory values and vital signs 
• 
Changes from baseline in electrocardiogram (ECG) 
Study Design:  This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 
2 study in Japanese HF subjects to evaluate 16 weeks of administration of oral modified- release 
(MR) omecamtiv mecarbil formulation at 3 dose levels (25 mg BID, 37.5 mg BID, and 50 mg BID), 
compared with placebo.   
Approximately 80 Japanese subjects with chronic stable HF with reduced ejection fraction will be 
randomized in a 1:1:1:1 manner to receive either placebo (n=20) or omecamtiv mecarbil at a 
target dose of either 25 mg BID (n=20), 37.5 mg BID (n=20), or 50 mg BID (n=20) on an 
outpatient basis.  Subjects randomized to the 37.5 mg BID and 50 mg BID treatment arms will 
initiate administration at 25 mg BID and will be up-titrated to 37.5 mg BID or 50 mg BID target 
dose at the week 4 visit based on steady state Cpredose result from week 2.  Subjects who do not 
have a week 2 PK value in time for dose adjustment at the week 4 visit will be up-titrated at 
week 8 based on the steady state Cpredose result from week 2, if available.  Up-titration at week 4 
or week 8 visits will occur only if the week 2 Cpredose is < 200 ng/mL.  Subjects with a week 2 
Cpredose ≥ 200 ng/mL (or not available at week 8) will continue at 25 mg BID for the remainder of 
the study.  Subjects randomized to placebo or to 25 mg BID will receive the assigned 
investigational product (IP) (omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo) throughout the study.  PK analysis 
and dose assignment will be blinded to the study team.  To maintain blinding, all subjects will 
receive new IP supply at week 4 and week 8 visits.  An independent Data Monitoring Committee 
(DMC) will perform a regular formal unblinded review of the accumulating study data.  An 
independent Clinical Events Classification (CEC) Committee will adjudicate deaths, all

hospitalizations, and selected nonfatal cardiovascular (CV) events (including possible myocardial 
infarction or ischemia). 
Sample Size:  Approximately 80 Japanese subjects with chronic stable HF 
Summary of Subject Eligibility Criteria:  
Japanese male and female subjects ≥ 20 and ≤ 85 years of age with chronic stable HF with 
reduced ejection fraction; treated with optimal pharmacological therapy, including a beta blocker 
and either an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker 
(ARB) that is expected to remain stable over the period of participation in the study, unless not 
tolerated; and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) must be ≤ 40% as determined by central 
reading of the screening echocardiogram.  Enrollment of subjects with atrial fibrillation/flutter is 
limited to up to approximately 20% of planned enrollment in the study.  Randomization will be 
stratified by presence or absence of atrial fibrillation/flutter at the time of screening via interactive 
voice response system/interactive Web response system (IVRS/IWRS). 
The following are the major exclusion criteria:  New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV; 
implantation of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) or implantable cardioverter defibrillator 
(ICD) within 30 days prior to randomization; likely to receive the following within 3 months after 
randomization, in the investigator’s opinion: revascularization, implantation of ICD or CRT, 
ventricular assist device, continuous or intermittent inotropic therapy, hospice care, or cardiac 
transplant; severe uncorrected valvular heart disease; hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, 
active myocarditis, or constrictive pericarditis, or clinically significant congenital heart disease; 
major arrhythmia per investigator’s judgment; acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or 
persistent angina at rest within 30 days prior to randomization; chronic antiarrhythmic therapy 
(except amiodarone, digoxin, and beta-blocker therapy), or routinely scheduled outpatient 
intravenous infusions for HF (eg, inotropes, vasodilators [eg, carperitide], diuretics) or routinely 
scheduled ultrafiltration; systolic blood pressure (BP) > 160 mm Hg or < 90 mm Hg or diastolic BP 
> 90 mm Hg, or heart rate (HR) > 110 beats per minute (bpm) or HR < 50 bpm at screening; 
estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening; past recipient of 
any major organ transplant or receiving renal replacement therapy by dialysis; total bilirubin (TBL) 
≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate 
aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 3 times ULN at screening.  Female subjects of childbearing potential 
cannot be pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, and must be willing to 
practice sexual abstinence, or surgical contraceptive methods or use 2 acceptable method(s) of 
effective birth control during treatment with IP and for an additional 5 days after the end of 
treatment with IP. 
For a full list of eligibility criteria, please refer to Section 4. 
Amgen Investigational Product Dosage and Administration:  Omecamtiv mecarbil Matrix 
F1 tablets will be dosed orally at 25 mg BID, 37.5 mg BID, and 50 mg BID. 
Procedures:   
Subjects are eligible for screening if they have chronic stable HF and reduced ejection fraction.  
Subjects may also be screened in the hospital setting once they have recovered and are 
considered clinically stable by the investigator.  Subjects must be outpatients at the time of 
randomization.  At the week 4 visit (or at week 8 visit if the week 2 Cpredose result is not available), 
subjects randomized to omecamtiv mecarbil 37.5 mg BID or 50 mg BID will be up-titrated if the 
week 2 Cpredose is < 200 ng/mL.  Subjects will be contacted on day 7 and 6 days after the week 4 
and week 8 visits to ensure IP compliance and for safety observation, and will be seen at the 
study site at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16, and for the end of study (EOS) visit at week 20.  
All visits after Day 1 include a visit window of ± 3 days with the exception of  
week 2 (-3 days), week 4 (+3 days) and the EOS visit at week 20 (+3 days).  
For a full list of study procedures, including the timing of each procedure, please refer to 
Section 7 and the Schedule of Assessments (Table 2).

Statistical Considerations:   
All non-PK endpoints analyses will be performed on the full analysis set (FAS) which includes all 
randomized subjects who have received at least 1 dose of IP (omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo).  
PK endpoints analyses will be performed in the subset of FAS where subjects have at least one 
evaluable omecamtiv mecarbil PK parameter (Cmax, Cpredose).  Generally, subjects will be grouped 
according to their randomized target dose treatment group assignment.  Safety endpoints will be 
analyzed in the subjects that received at least 1 dose of IP.  The safety endpoint of subject 
incidence of any treatment-emergent adverse event will be summarized descriptively by 
randomized treatment group.  No formal statistical hypothesis will be tested.   
In the analyses of primary endpoints, PK parameters will be calculated using non-compartmental 
methods.  Individual PK parameters of omecamtiv mecarbil collected in the omecamtiv mecarbil 
arm will be summarized with descriptive statistics.   
The echocardiographic secondary endpoint  will be summarized and analyzed by the stratification 
factor of presence or absence of atrial fibrillation/flutter at randomization. 
Secondary, safety, and exploratory endpoints will be summarized descriptively by randomized 
treatment group and the titration status.  The treatment effect on change from baseline in SET will 
be summarized descriptively by randomized treatment group and the difference between each 
omecamtiv mecarbil dose level and placebo will be estimated.  The relationship of treatment 
effect in the SET and its relationship to omecamtiv mecarbil plasma concentrations will be 
evaluated. 
This study will adjudicate deaths, all hospitalizations, and selected nonfatal cardiovascular events 
by an independent Clinical Events Classification (CEC) Committee.  All events occurring after 
subject randomization until completion of the study at week 20 will be adjudicated. 
For a full description of statistical analysis methods, please refer to Section 10.

OBJECTIVES 
1.1 
Primary 
The primary objectives of this study are to: 
• 
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of omecamtiv mecarbil in Japanese subjects 
with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction 
• 
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral omecamtiv mecarbil  
1.2 
Secondary 
The secondary objectives of the study are: 
• 
To measure changes in systolic ejection time (SET) by echocardiography following 
16 weeks of treatment 
2. 
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
2.1 
Disease 
Heart failure is a clinical syndrome marked by impaired cardiac contractility and is the 
final pathway for a diversity of diseases that afflict the heart (Hilfiker-Kleiner et al, 2006).  
The rate of cardiovascular mortality or HF hospitalization approaches 25% to 30% at 
6 months in patients hospitalized for HF (Konstam et al, 2007; Gheorghiade et al, 2013).  
In Japan, approximately 1 million people are believed to have HF (Okamoto and 
Kitabatake, 2003, Okura et al, 2008).  Although the prevalence of HF (< 1%) is lower 
than that in Western industrialized countries, it is expected to rise substantially in the 
coming decades, mainly due to Japan’s rapidly aging population (Japanese Statistics 
Bureau, 2005; Okura et al, 2008).  One-year mortality due to HF is from 4.3% to 9% and 
1-year readmissions range from 7.6% to 17.8% (Shiba et al, 2004; Tsutsui et al, 2007; 
Hamaguchi et al, 2009).  While several pharmacological and non-pharmacological 
interventions have been shown to reduce the rate of HF hospitalizations and improve 
mortality, including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, 
aldosterone antagonists, coronary revascularization, and biventricular pacing 
(Krum and Teerlink, 2011), mortality and morbidity still remain high as noted above.  In 
addition, these available treatments that are aimed at diverse targets including sodium 
retention, arterial and venous constriction, neuroendocrine activation, increased heart 
rate (HR), cardiac dyssynchrony, and arrhythmias often fail to control symptoms or 
restore quality of life.  Another target for treatment of HF is to improve myocardial 
contractility.  HF is a condition most commonly marked by cardiac systolic dysfunction.  
Over time, in an attempt to preserve cardiac output, a series of compensatory changes 
can occur characterized by increased sympathetic tone and peripheral vasoconstriction,

as well as the activation of various neurohormonal pathways.  Attempts to improve 
cardiac contractility using adrenergic receptor agonists (ie, dobutamine) or 
phosphodiesterase inhibitors (ie, milrinone) have met with little success.  However, these 
mechanisms have significant safety liabilities attributable to increased oxygen 
consumption, intracellular calcium, and arrhythmias (Cuffe et al, 2002;  
Felker et al, 2003).  Cardiac myosin activators like omecamtiv mecarbil are a new 
mechanistic class designed specifically to increase myocardial contractility without these 
liabilities. 
2.2 
Omecamtiv Mecarbil Background 
Omecamtiv mecarbil (AMG 423, CK-1827452) is a novel small molecule that increases 
cardiac contractility by selectively and directly activating the enzymatic domain of cardiac 
myosin heavy chain, the force-generating motor protein of the cardiac sarcomere, 
without increasing cardiac myocyte intracellular calcium (Teerlink, 2009;  
Malik et al, 2011). 
2.2.1 
Preclinical Information 
In vitro experiments demonstrated that omecamtiv mecarbil augments contractility 
without changing the intracellular calcium transient in isolated cardiac myocytes.  It does 
not inhibit phosphodiesterase type 3.  In dog models of systolic HF, infusion of 
omecamtiv mecarbil significantly augmented left ventricular systolic function and cardiac 
output by increasing the left ventricular SET without increasing the rate of pressure 
development (dP/dt) or HR.  Additionally, left ventricular filling pressure, left atrial 
pressure, and total peripheral vascular resistance decreased, providing evidence that 
prolongation of SET and increased systolic function can favorably impact the 
hemodynamics that drive HF symptoms.  The salutary effects of omecamtiv mecarbil 
were achieved without noticeable effect upon myocardial oxygen uptake, blood pressure 
(BP), or coronary blood flow (Shen et al, 2010; Malik et al, 2011). 
2.2.2 
Clinical Experience 
The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), and pharmacodynamic (PD) of oral and 
intravenous (IV) formulations of omecamtiv mecarbil have been evaluated in 
9 completed phase 1 clinical studies in healthy volunteers/end-stage renal disease 
(ESRD) subjects (Studies CY 1111, CY 1011, CY 1013, CY 1015, CY 1016, 
CY 1211 [20120255], 20080676, 20090229, and 20090727); and in 4 completed phase 
2a studies in chronic HF subjects (Studies CY 1021, CY 1121, CY 1124, and CY 1221); 
and 1 completed phase 2b study in acute heart failure (AHF) subjects (Study 20100754).

Efficacy was also evaluated in completed Study 20100754.  The studies pertinent to this 
study are summarized below.  Refer to the Investigator’s Brochure for omecamtiv 
mecarbil for additional information. 
2.2.2.1 
Studies in Healthy Volunteers 
CY 1111, a first-in-human clinical study with omecamtiv mecarbil, was a randomized, 
double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-period crossover, dose escalation study designed to 
evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD profile of omecamtiv mecarbil administered 
IV to healthy male volunteers (Teerlink et al, 2011).  This study included a total of 
33 subjects who received infusions of omecamtiv mecarbil at doses ranging from 
0.005 mg/kg/hr to 1.0 mg/kg/hr for up to 6 hours.  The exposures of omecamtiv mecarbil, 
as measured by area under the curve (AUC) and maximum observed concentration 
(Cmax), were approximately dose proportional, with an AUC of 159 (57 standard 
deviation) ng•hr/mL for treatment administered at an infusion rate of 0.005 mg/hr/kg and 
30400 ng•hr/mL when administered at a rate of 1 mg/hr/kg; corresponding Cmax values 
for those administration rates were 8.70 (2.20) ng/mL and 1340 ng/mL.  The mean 
clearance  ranged from 125 to 207 mL/hr/kg and the mean half life  ranged from 17.1 to 
23.2 hours and increased slightly with increasing doses.  The mean steady state 
distribution volume was dose independent and ranged from 3.6 to 5.2 L/kg.  At the dose 
of 0.5 mg/kg/hr over 6 hours, the mean (standard deviation [SD]) Cmax was 
905 (183) ng/mL.  Across the dosing levels evaluated in CY 1111, omecamtiv mecarbil 
infusions demonstrated generally linear PK with dose-proportional increases in Cmax.  
Concentration-dependent PD effects on cardiac function as measured by 
echocardiography were observed.  These PD effects included statistically significant 
placebo corrected increases from baseline in SET, Doppler-derived stroke volume, left 
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and fractional shortening.  
CY 1013 was an open-label, parallel group study in healthy male volunteers designed to 
evaluate the contribution of cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 to the 
elimination of omecamtiv mecarbil.  Healthy volunteer subjects who were either 
extensive metabolizers (EMs) or poor metabolizers (PMs) with respect to their defined 
CYP2D6 genotype received oral omecamtiv mecarbil alone and in combination with 
ketoconazole or diltiazem.  Ketoconazole (a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4) caused 
approximately 51% and 31% increases in the mean AUC of omecamtiv mecarbil in EM 
and PM subjects, respectively; 1 PM subject had a decrease in omecamtiv mecarbil 
AUC when given in combination with ketoconazole which contributed to the observed

differences between these 2 groups.  In the presence and absence of diltiazem  
(a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4), the AUC of omecamtiv mecarbil was similar.  
CYP3A4 inhibition had little impact on Cmax and time to Cmax.  When omecamtiv mecarbil 
was administered alone, the mean AUC was approximately 37% higher in PM subjects 
(990 ng•hr/mL, n = 8) than in EM subjects (720 ng•hr/mL, n = 8).  These results indicate 
minor involvement of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 in the metabolism of omecamtiv mecarbil. 
Studies CY 1011, CY 1015, and CY 1016 were designed to evaluate the PK parameters 
of oral preparations of omecamtiv mecarbil.  The studies enrolled a total of 44 males and 
20 females.  Maximal duration of exposure was 10 days and maximal dose was 30 mg 
3 times a day for 7 days.  Results from the studies demonstrated very high oral 
bioavailability for omecamtiv mecarbil approaching 100% under all conditions studied; 
food appeared to reduce the rate but not the extent of absorption.  Omecamtiv mecarbil 
was well tolerated with no treatment-related serious adverse events in these trials.  
In Study 20090727, which compared five modified-release (MR) formulations to the IR 
formulation, the mean bioavailability of the MR formulations was ~80% with MR-F1, 
MR-F2 and SCT-F2 and Cmax was reduced by ~70%.  Food had a minimal effect on the 
PK of the oral MR and immediate release (IR) formulations but reduced inter-subject 
variability. 
Study 20090229 was an open-label, single dose study that evaluated the absorption, 
metabolism, and excretion of orally- and IV-administered [14C]-omecamtiv mecarbil in 
14 healthy volunteers.  Approximately 85% of the IV and oral doses of [14C]-omecamtiv 
mecarbil were recovered in urine and feces.  Less than 10% of omecamtiv mecarbil 
appeared in urine.  The major clearance pathway (primarily metabolism) was 
decarbamylation of omecamtiv mecarbil to M3 followed by further biotransformation.  In 
plasma, omecamtiv mecarbil was the most abundant component, with M3 and  
M4 (a lactam of M3) the most abundant metabolites at 6.0% and 3.3% of total 
drug-related AUC, respectively.  M3 and M4 were also the major metabolites in urine 
and feces.  Of note, the biological activity of M3 and M4 when assayed against the 
cardiac sarcomere in vitro was > 10-fold less potent than the parent drug. 
2.2.2.2 
Studies in Subjects With Heart Failure 
Study CY 1121 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study 
that enrolled 5 sequential cohorts of subjects with stable HF (LVEF ≤ 40% 
[LVEF ≤ 30% in cohort 4]).  A total 45 subjects (39 males and 6 females) were enrolled 
and treated with study drug infusions ranging from 2 to 72 hours (Cleland et al, 2011).

Three subjects experienced serious adverse events (non-ST-elevation myocardial 
infarction which occurred in the setting of an inadvertent drug overdose [this event was 
considered related to study drug and reported as a suspected unexpected serious 
adverse reaction]; septicemia in the setting of a diabetic foot ulcer that was considered 
unrelated to study drug; and pneumonia that was considered unrelated to study drug) in 
the study.  Omecamtiv mecarbil produced increases in echocardiographic indices of 
cardiac systolic function. 
Study CY 1221 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that enrolled 
HF subjects with ischemic cardiomyopathy and angina with LVEF ≤ 35%.  A total of 
94 subjects were enrolled and treated with 20 hour infusions of study drug followed by 
7 days of oral dosing; 29 subjects received placebo, 31 received omecamtiv mecarbil at 
a lower dose regimen, and 34 at a higher dose regimen.  The primary safety endpoint 
was defined as the proportion of subjects stopping an exercise tolerance test during 
infusion due to unacceptable angina at an exercise stage earlier than baseline.  This 
endpoint was observed in 1 subject receiving placebo and did not occur in any subject 
receiving omecamtiv mecarbil at either dose regimen.  In addition, no consistent 
differences were observed between placebo and lower or higher dosing regimens of 
omecamtiv mecarbil with respect to any of the secondary safety endpoints, vital signs, 
electrocardiograms (ECG) or cardiac enzymes. 
CY 1021 was an open-label study with the objective to evaluate the PK and tolerability of 
a MR and an IR oral formulation of omecamtiv mecarbil in subjects with stable HF.  A 
total of 35 subjects were enrolled and treated with a dose of 50 mg MR twice daily (BID), 
37.5 mg IR 3 times a day, or 100 mg MR BID under fed conditions.  A 
-year-old male 
subject experienced sudden death in this study after 6 days of dosing with the IR 
formulation.  The subject’s history was 
 
 
  At the time of 
enrollment into the study, the subject was New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III 
and Canadian Cardiovascular Society Angina Class III.  Study site personnel last spoke 
to the subject on Day 6 just prior to the last administered dose.  He had no complaints 
and reported that he was taking the study medication as prescribed.  Shortly after the 
last dose on Day 6, the subject suddenly lost consciousness and died.  Based on 
Day 1 plasma concentrations, the predicted range of Day 6 plasma concentrations were 
approximately 120 to 210 ng/mL.

Of the 250 healthy volunteers (including 13 ESRD subjects) and the 147 HF subjects in 
phase 2a studies who received at least 1 dose of omecamtiv mecarbil, 6 healthy 
volunteers and 8 HF subjects had troponin I above the upper reference limit (URL).  
There were no subjects with troponin T > URL in the absence of troponin I > URL post 
baseline.  These 14 subjects are included in the Investigator Brochure (Table 6-22 and 
Appendix B).  In 3 of the 14 subjects with troponin I > URL, the troponin I > URL 
occurred at omecamtiv mecarbil Cmax plasma concentrations of 1333 ng/mL, 
1456 ng/mL, and 1345 ng/mL in healthy volunteer Subject 
 (Study CY 1111), HF 
Subject 
 (Study CY 1121), and HF Subject 
 (Study CY 1121), respectively.  
These 3 subjects had similar clinical presentation in terms of their symptoms/signs 
(tachycardia, chest discomfort, and dizziness), ECG changes, and rise and fall of 
troponin I, consistent with myocardial infarction.  Their symptoms resolved with the 
discontinuation of omecamtiv mecarbil.  In at least 6 of the other 11 subjects with 
troponin I > URL, a causal relationship with omecamtiv mecarbil could not be excluded.  
Study 20100754, (Acute Treatment with Omecamtiv Mecarbil to Increase Contractility in 
Acute Heart Failure, ATOMIC-AHF) was a phase 2b multicenter, randomized, 
double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effect of 48 hours of IV 
omecamtiv mecarbil compared with placebo on dyspnea in subjects with left ventricular 
systolic dysfunction hospitalized for acute HF.  The study enrolled 613 subjects into 
3 dose escalation cohorts with review of data by an independent external Data 
Monitoring Committee (DMC) before proceeding to the next cohort.   
A total of 303 AHF subjects received at least 1 dose of omecamtiv mecarbil and an 
equal number received placebo.  No statistically significant difference was observed in 
dyspnea symptom response (primary efficacy endpoint) between omecamtiv mecarbil 
treatment groups and the pooled placebo group.  
Major cardiovascular events were adjudicated by an independent, academic committee 
in ATOMIC-AHF (Duke Clinical Research Institute Clinical Events Classification (CEC) 
Committee.  Adverse events (58% vs. 63%), serious adverse events (21.8% vs. 23.1%), 
deaths (2.6% vs. 3.3%), and rehospitalization within 30 days (9.6% vs. 12.2%) were 
similar between the pooled omecamtiv mecarbil group and the pooled placebo group, 
respectively.  At the 6 month vital status assessment, 38 (12.5%) subjects in the 
omecamtiv mecarbil groups died compared with 39 (12.9%) subjects in the placebo 
groups.  There were a limited number (10) of positively adjudicated post-randomization 
myocardial infarctions and a small numeric imbalance was noted in the omecamtiv

mecarbil treated groups (total of 7) compared with 3 in placebo groups (2.3% vs. 1%, 
respectively).  Five of the adjudicated myocardial infarctions  in omecamtiv 
mecarbil-treated subjects occurred in cohort 3, however, 2 occurred more than 7 days 
after completion of drug infusion and 1 occurred subsequent to a percutaneous coronary 
intervention.  The overall incidence of reported supraventricular tachyarrhythmias 
(standard MedDRA query [SMQ]) was less (3.6% vs. 6.6%) on omecamtiv mecarbil than 
on placebo and, within each cohort, rates were lower in the omecamtiv mecarbil group 
than the placebo group.  The overall incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (SMQ) 
was similar (5.3% omecamtiv mecarbil, 5.9%, placebo).  For further details on the clinical 
experience with omecamtiv mecarbil please consult the Investigator’s Brochure. 
2.2.2.3 
Study in Japanese Subjects 
Study 20120255 (CY 1211) was a phase I single center, placebo-controlled, double-blind 
study comparing the PK of omecamtiv mecarbil between healthy Japanese and 
Caucasian volunteers.  In a 3-period crossover design, 36 subjects (18 Japanese and 
18 Caucasians) received 3 separate treatments with at least a 7-day washout between 
each dosing period.  Volunteers received in succession an IV infusion (4 hour) of 
omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo, multiple 25 mg doses of a MR oral formulation of 
omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo over 7 days, and a single 50 mg dose of a MR oral 
formulation of omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo.  There were no clinically meaningful 
differences observed in the PK of omecamtiv mecarbil between Japanese and 
Caucasian healthy volunteers and all doses of omecamtiv mecarbil in CY 1211 were well 
tolerated. 
2.3 
Rationale 
Omecamtiv mecarbil is being developed as an adjunctive therapy for subjects with HF 
with reduced ejection fraction (≤40%) who are already taking a beta-blocker and an ACE 
inhibitor and/or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), unless not tolerated.  Targeting 
myocardial contractility in subjects with systolic dysfunction would appear to be a rational 
therapeutic approach to preserve cardiac output, to attenuate the compensatory 
mechanisms including neurohormonal activation, and to prevent or even reverse 
ventricular remodeling, which ultimately could translate into clinical benefits for HF 
patients (Hasenfuss and Teerlink, 2011). 
Historically, development of heart failure drugs has required careful assessment of the 
balance of benefit:risk in large phase 3 clinical outcomes studies because there is no 
well-established validated surrogate endpoint in HF for clinical outcomes.  Direct

increase of cardiac function can positively impact clinical outcomes in patients with left 
ventricular systolic dysfunction as evidenced by the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization 
therapy (CRT) in HF patients with systolic dysfunction (Moss et al, 2009).  Omecamtiv 
mecarbil is a cardiac myosin activator that has dose-dependent and 
concentration-dependent effects on cardiac function at plasma concentrations that 
appear generally well tolerated by subjects with stable chronic systolic HF (Cleland et al, 
2011).  
The ongoing Study 20110151 (COSMIC-HF) is a global phase 2, randomized, 
double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with chronic stable HF and systolic 
dysfunction.  This study was designed to compare 3 oral MR formulations in 2 cohorts 
(escalation phase) of 25 mg BID and 50 mg BID for 7 days to select the most suitable 
formulation for further study in the dose ranging expansion phase (25 mg BID and 50 mg 
BID of a single oral MR formulation compared with placebo over 20 weeks of treatment 
with echocardiographic evaluations).  The escalation phase of the study has completed.  
Following review of PK and safety data from a total of 96 subjects, a single oral MR 
formulation, MR-F1, was selected for use in the COSMIC-HF expansion phase.  
Enrollment is complete and the MR-F1 formulation is currently being evaluated at 2 dose 
levels (25 mg and 50 mg BID) in approximately 450 subjects.   
Prior to initiation of subject enrollment into this study (Study 20120227) results from the 
planned Japanese phase 1 study 20150134, which include PK and safety assessments 
of repeated 25 mg BID, 37.5 mg BID, and 50 mg BID oral dosing, will be reviewed.  It is 
expected that Study 20150134 will confirm the doses selected are appropriate to be 
studied in this phase 2 study (Study 20120227). 
Study 20120227 will enroll approximately 80 subjects and randomize them to doses of 
omecamtiv mecarbil (25 mg, 37.5 mg, or 50 mg BID), or placebo.  Simulated omecamtiv 
mecarbil exposures in subjects with low body weight, defined as less than 58 kg based 
on the median body weight distribution of Japanese subjects with HF, were 
approximately 25% to 35% higher compared with exposures in non-Japanese HF 
subjects with a higher body weight, defined as greater than 82 kg based the median 
body weight of subjects with HF in the ATOMIC-AHF and COSMIC-HF studies (Table 1).

Though the results of the completed phase 1 Study 20120255 showed that systemic 
clearance in Japanese and Caucasian subjects was not statistically significantly 
different, and that the body weight adjusted clearance was essentially identical, this 
study will include an additional tablet strength of 37.5 mg BID to further explore PK and 
PD parameters with chronic repeated oral dosing.  
2.4 
Clinical Hypotheses 
No formal hypothesis testing will be performed.  PK parameters following chronic dosing 
(BID for 16 weeks) will be estimated.   
3. 
EXPERIMENTAL PLAN 
3.1 
Study Design 
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 2 study in 
Japanese HF subjects to evaluate 16 weeks of administration of oral MR omecamtiv 
mecarbil formulation at 3 dose levels (25 mg BID, 37.5 mg BID, and 50 mg BID), 
compared with placebo.  Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to 
enter the study within 30 days prior to enrollment.  Subjects are eligible for screening if 
they have chronic stable HF and reduced ejection fraction.  Subjects may also be 
screened in the hospital setting once they have recovered and are considered clinically 
stable by the investigator.  Subjects must be outpatients at the time of randomization.   
Approximately 80 Japanese subjects with chronic stable HF with reduced ejection 
fraction will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive omecamtiv mecarbil either 25 mg BID dose 
(n=20), 37.5 mg BID dose (n=20), 50 mg BID dose (n=20) or placebo (n=20) on an 
outpatient basis.  Subjects randomized to 37.5 mg BID target dose and 50 mg BID target 
dose will initiate administration at 25 mg BID and will be up-titrated to 37.5 mg BID or

50 mg BID at the week 4 visit based on steady state concentration prior to 
investigational product (IP) administration (Cpredose) result from week 2.  Subjects who do 
not have a week 2 PK value in time for dose adjustment at the week 4 visit will be 
up-titrated at week 8 based on the steady state Cpredose result from week 2, if available.  
Subjects will be up-titrated at the week 4 or week 8 visits only if the week 2 Cpredose is 
< 200 ng/mL.  Subjects with a week 2 Cpredose ≥ 200 ng/mL (or not available at week 8) 
will continue at 25 mg BID for the remaining of the study.  Subjects randomized to 
placebo or to 25 mg BID will receive the assigned IP throughout the study.  IP 
compliance will also be monitored.  PK analysis and dose assignment will be blinded to 
the study team.  To maintain blinding, all subjects will receive new IP supply at the week 
4 and week 8 visits.  The study includes transthoracic echocardiographic assessments 
(screening, week 8, and week 16).  Enrollment of subjects with atrial fibrillation/flutter at 
the time of screening will be limited to approximately 20% of planned enrollment.  
Randomization will be stratified by presence or absence of atrial fibrillation/flutter via the 
interactive voice response system/interactive Web response system (IVRS/IWRS).   
An independent DMC will perform regular formal unblinded review of the accumulating 
study data.  An independent CEC will adjudicate deaths, all hospitalizations, and 
selected nonfatal cardiovascular (CV) events (including possible MI or ischemia).  The 
end of study (EOS) visit will be performed 4 weeks after the last dose of IP  
(Week 20 +3 days).  
Vital signs, physical examinations, ECGs, Adverse Event/Serious Adverse Event 
assessments, clinical laboratory evaluations (see Table 3), and collection of concomitant 
medications will be performed at screening and at specified times per the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 2).  The overall study design is described in a study schema at the 
end of the protocol synopsis section. 
The study endpoints are defined in Section 10.1.1. 
3.2 
Number of Sites 
Approximately 50 centers in Japan will participate in the study.  Sites that do not enroll 
subjects within 3 months of site initiation may be closed.   
3.3 
Number of Subjects 
Participants in this clinical investigation shall be referred to as “subjects”. 
Approximately 80 Japanese subjects with chronic stable HF with reduced ejection 
fraction will be enrolled.

or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion 
5. 
SUBJECT ENROLLMENT 
Before subjects begin participation in any study-specific activities/procedures, Amgen 
requires a copy of the site’s written Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics 
Committee (IEC) approval of the protocol, informed consent form, and all other subject 
information and/or recruitment material, if applicable (see Section 11.2).  All subjects or 
their legally authorized representative must personally sign and date the informed 
consent form before commencement of study-specific activities/procedures.   
A subject is considered enrolled upon randomization in IVRS/IWRS.  The investigator is 
to document this decision and date, in the subject’s medical record and in/on the 
enrollment electronic case report form (eCRF).  Randomization will be stratified by 
presence or absence of atrial fibrillation/flutter via IVRS/IWRS. 
All subjects who enter into the screening period for the study (defined as the point at 
which the subject or legal representative signs the informed consent) will receive a 
unique subject identification number before any study-related activities/procedures are 
performed.  The subject identification number will be assigned by IVRS/IWRS.  This 
number will be used to identify the subject throughout the clinical study and must be 
used on all study documentation related to that subject.   
The subject identification number must remain constant throughout the entire clinical 
study; it must not be changed after initial assignment, including if a subject is 
rescreened.  This number will not necessarily be the same as the randomization number 
assigned for the study.   
5.1 
Randomization/Treatment Assignment 
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 manner to receive either 25 mg BID omecamtiv 
mecarbil dose (n=20), 37.5 mg BID omecamtiv mecarbil dose (n=20), 50 mg BID 
omecamtiv mecarbil dose (n=20) or placebo (n=20) on an outpatient basis.  Subjects 
randomized to 37.5 mg BID target dose and 50 mg BID target dose will initiate 
administration at 25 mg BID and will be up-titrated to the 37.5 mg BID or 50 mg BID 
target dose at the week 4 visit based on steady state Cpredose result from week 2.

Subjects who do not have a week 2 PK value in time for dose adjustment at the week 
4 visit will be up-titrated at week 8 based on steady state Cpredose result from week 2, if 
available.  Subjects will be up-titrated at the week 4 or week 8 visit only if the week 2 
Cpredose is < 200 ng/mL.  Subjects with a week 2 Cpredose ≥ 200 ng/mL (or not available at 
week 8) will continue at 25 mg BID for the remainder of the study.  Subjects randomized 
to placebo or to 25 mg BID will receive the assigned IP throughout the study.  To 
maintain blinding, all subjects will receive new IP supply at week 4 and week 8 visits.  
There is no other dose adjustment for individual subjects during the study.  
Assignment to the treatment arms will be based on a computer-generated randomization 
schedule prepared by Amgen before the start of the study.  A subject may only receive 
one randomization number and each randomization number will only be assigned to 
1 subject. 
Once eligibility into the study has been confirmed, a site representative will make the 
randomization call to the IVRS/IWRS to assign a randomization number to the subject.  
The randomization call to the IVRS/IWRS is accomplished by entering the pertinent 
information detailed in the IVRS/IWRS user manual.  A confirmation will be sent to the 
site to verify that the correct information has been entered and to confirm the 
randomization assigned.  A subject will be considered enrolled and randomized into the 
study when a randomization number is assigned. 
5.2 
Site Personnel Access to Individual Treatment Assignments 
A subject’s treatment assignment should only be unblinded when knowledge of the 
treatment is essential for the further management of a subject on this study.  Unblinding 
at the study site for any other reason will be considered a protocol deviation.  The 
investigator is strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate Amgen study contact 
representative before unblinding any subject’s treatment assignment, but must do so 
within 1 working day after the event.

Investigational Product 
6.2.1 
Amgen Investigational Product (Omecamtiv Mecarbil) 
Omecamtiv mecarbil will be manufactured and packaged by Amgen Inc. and distributed 
using Amgen clinical study drug distribution procedures.  Omecamtiv mecarbil will be 
presented as tablets in individually labeled 35ct bottles.  Each bottle will have an unique 
bottle number. 
Further details regarding IP storage condition, dispensation, packaging, labeling, 
accounting procedures, and destruction are outlined in the IPIM. 
Placebo will be presented in identical containers and stored/packaged the same as 
omecamtiv mecarbil. 
6.2.1.1 
Dosage, Administration, and Schedule 
Eligible outpatient subjects will be randomized and will initiate administration of IP 
(omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo).  Day 1 is defined as the calendar day when treatment 
with IP is initiated.  The first administration of IP should be on the day of randomization 
but not later than 5 calendar days after randomization.  The time when ingestion of the 
first dose of IP is completed is defined as Time = 0 hours.  Baseline procedures must be 
completed before initiation of IP and can be performed on the same day. 
IP will be administered orally BID in the morning and evening by the subjects and can be 
taken under fasted or fed conditions.  IP will be swallowed whole (not chewed) and taken 
with water as instructed in the IPIM.  Administration of each morning and evening dose 
is to be taken at approximately the same time of day (12 ± 3 hours from the most recent 
previous dose).  If IP cannot be taken or has not been taken within this window, the dose 
should be recorded as missed and the next dose should be taken at the regular time.  
Administration of IP will start with the morning dose on day 1 and will end with the 
morning dose on the day of the subject’s week 16 visit.  The quantity, date and time, lot 
number, and bottle number of investigational product is to be recorded on each subject’s 
eCRF.

6.2.1.2 
Rules for Withholding Investigational Product due to Myocardial 
Ischemia or Infarction, Abnormal Blood Pressure or Heart Rate  
Omecamtiv mecarbil may result in signs and symptoms of myocardial ischemia or 
infarction, as described in Section 7.1 of the Investigator’s Brochure (eg, increases in 
HR, dizziness, dyspnea, hypotension, chest discomfort or pain, ST-segment depression 
on ECG, and/or elevations in troponin I or T).  If a subject reports clinical signs or 
symptoms suggestive of myocardial ischemia or infarction, and/or experiences changes 
in BP or HR, withholding of IP should be considered.  No antidote to omecamtiv mecarbil 
exists.  Standard medical therapies should be used in the presence of signs or 
symptoms of myocardial ischemia.   
The following are mandatory rules for withholding IP:   
• 
The subject experiences clinical signs or symptoms, including ECG changes, 
consistent with myocardial ischemia or infarction as determined by the 
investigator 
• 
The subject experiences a symptomatic decrease in systolic BP on 2 successive 
measurements 
• 
The subject experiences an asymptomatic decrease in systolic BP to < 80 mmHg 
(measured at 3 successive timepoints over approximately 15 minutes) 
• 
The subject experiences symptoms associated with a HR > 120 bpm, systolic BP 
> 170 mm Hg, or diastolic BP > 110 mm Hg that are determined by the 
investigator to warrant termination of the dosing 
• 
The subject experiences sustained systolic BP > 170 mm Hg (measured at 
3 successive timepoints over approximately 15 minutes) 
• 
The subject experiences a sustained diastolic BP > 110 mm Hg (measured at 
3 successive timepoints over approximately 15 minutes)  
• 
The subject experiences a sustained HR > 120 bpm (measured at 3 successive 
timepoints over approximately 15 minutes)  
• 
The subject experiences a sustained (measured at 3 successive timepoints over 
at least 15 minutes) HR increase ≥ 25 bpm from screening or baseline AND 
HR > 100 bpm 
If suspected adverse drug reactions or changes in vital signs, ECGs, or clinical 
laboratory results are observed during the study and, in the opinion of either the 
investigator or the Study Medical Monitor, these changes pose a significant health risk, 
dosing of an individual subject should be stopped and not resumed. 
If administration of IP is stopped (up to 5 days after last IP) for any of the reasons above, 
a blood sample of 5 mL for PK analysis is to be collected as soon as possible  . 
If a subject experiences clinical signs or symptoms consistent with myocardial ischemia 
or infarction, the subject should receive immediate medical attention according to the

institution’s usual standard of care.  Serial cardiac troponin samples (troponin I or T) 
should be analyzed at the local laboratory.  In addition, central laboratory analysis of 
serial samples for cardiac troponin I and/or creatine kinase MB fraction (CK-MB) as well 
as serial 12-lead ECGs should be collected.  The investigator must notify Amgen 
immediately of any subject experiencing clinical signs or symptoms of myocardial 
ischemia or infarction. 
The decision to rechallenge the subject should be discussed and agreed upon 
unanimously by the subject, investigator, and Amgen.  If signs or symptoms recur with 
rechallenge, then omecamtiv mecarbil should be permanently discontinued. 
6.3 
Hepatotoxicity Stopping and Rechallenge Rules  
Subjects with abnormal hepatic laboratory values during the study (ie, alkaline 
phosphatase [ALP], AST, ALT, TBL) and/or international normalized ratio (INR) and/or 
signs/symptoms of hepatitis (as described below) may meet the criteria for withholding 
or permanent discontinuation of Amgen investigational product or other protocol-required 
therapies as specified in the Guidance for Industry Drug-Induced Liver 
Injury:  Premarketing Clinical Evaluation, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services Food and Drug Administration, July 2009. 
6.3.1 
Criteria for Permanent Discontinuation of Omecamtiv Mecarbil due 
to Potential Hepatotoxicity 
Omecamtiv mecarbil should be discontinued permanently and the subject should be 
followed according to the recommendations in Appendix A (Additional Safety 
Assessment Information) for possible drug-induced liver injury (DILI), if ALL of the 
criteria below are met:  
• 
TBL > 2x ULN or INR > 1.5 
• 
AND increased AST or ALT from the relevant baseline value as specified below:  
Baseline AST or ALT value 
AST or ALT elevation 
< ULN 
> 3x ULN 
• 
AND no other cause for the combination of the above laboratory abnormalities is 
immediately apparent; important alternative causes for elevated AST/ALT and/or 
TBL values include, but are not limited to: 
− 
Hepatobiliary tract disease 
− 
Viral hepatitis (eg, Hepatitis A/B/C/D/E, Epstein-Barr Virus, cytomegalovirus, 
Herpes Simplex Virus, Varicella, toxoplasmosis, and Parvovirus) 
− 
Right sided HF, hypotension or any cause of hypoxia to the liver causing 
ischemia.

− 
Non-hepatic causes (eg, rhabdomyolysis, hemolysis) 
If an alternative cause for hepatotoxicity is identified or less stringent conditions 
developed than what are noted above, the investigator should determine (based on 
patient population and/or severity of the hepatotoxicity or event) if Amgen investigational 
product and other protocol-required therapies should be withheld or permanently 
discontinued, as deemed appropriate for the safety of the subject, and Amgen medical 
monitor should be contacted immediately.  
6.3.2 
Criteria for Conditional Withholding of Omecamtiv Mecarbil due to 
Potential Hepatotoxicity 
For subjects who do not meet the criteria for permanent withholding of IP outlined above, 
omecamtiv mecarbil should be withheld if ANY of the following criteria are met, and the 
subject should be evaluated for DILI:  
• 
Elevation of either AST or ALT according to the following schedule: 
Baseline AST or ALT value 
AST or ALT elevation  
Any 
> 8x ULN at any time 
Any

General Study Procedures  
7.2.1 
Informed Consent 
All subjects or their legally authorized representative must personally sign and date the 
IRB/IEC approved informed consent before any study specific procedures are 
performed.  See Section 11.1 for further details. 
7.2.2 
Medical History 
The subject’s relevant medical and surgical history will be obtained prior to enrollment 
and recorded in the eCRF.  
7.2.3 
Concomitant Therapy 
Prior therapies that were being taken within 30 days prior to screening through the 
completion of the study should be reported on the eCRF.  The therapy name, indication, 
dose, frequency, route, and start date and stop date should be recorded in the eCRF. 
7.2.4 
Vital Signs 
The following measurements must be performed: systolic/diastolic BP and HR.  Subjects 
should be in a seated or semi-recumbent position for at least 5 minutes before taking 
vital sign measurements.  The position selected for a subject should be the same that is 
used throughout the study and documented on the vital sign eCRF.  Any abnormal 
measurements may be repeated and reported on the eCRF.  All values must be 
verifiable on the source documents. 
7.2.5 
Investigational Product Administration Diary 
Subjects will be supplied with a diary during the Day 1 visit in which to record the date 
and time of each administration of IP taken away from the site.  Study site staff will 
review the diary with the subject at each clinic visit for compliance with IP dosing.  The 
study site staff will make a copy of the diary at each visit and  transcribe the date and 
time of each morning and evening dose of IP taken, as directed by the Electronic Case 
Report Form Completion and Query Resolution Guide.  The diary will be retained at the 
study site as part of the source documentation once the subject has completed his/her 
study participation. 
7.2.6 
Adverse Events 
Refer to Section 9 for information on the definitions and reporting procedures for adverse 
events and serious adverse events.

7.2.7 
Potential Endpoints 
Deaths, hospitalizations and selected nonfatal cardiovascular events will be reported on 
an ongoing basis to Amgen or designee, as potential endpoints (PEPs).  An independent 
CEC committee will adjudicate deaths, all hospitalizations, and selected nonfatal CV 
events (including possible MI or ischemia).  The adjudicated events will include, but may 
not be limited to the following: cardiovascular death, HF, acute myocardial infarction, 
myocardial ischemia, unstable angina, and resuscitated sudden death.  Only events 
occurring after subject randomization until completion of the study will be adjudicated.  
7.2.8 
Hospitalizations 
Information about all hospitalizations up to the EOS (week 20) will be collected. 
7.2.9 
Physical Examination 
The screening physical examination will be a complete physical examination including 
height and weight.  Breast, genital, and rectal examinations are not required at any study 
visit unless specific evaluation is warranted in accordance with the standard of care.  
Physical examination findings at screening are to be recorded in the medical and 
surgical eCRF.  The physical examination at the EOS visit at week 20 will consist of an 
examination to monitor for any changes from the screening physical examination.  Any 
clinically significant change from the baseline physical examination, which represents 
deterioration, is to be recorded on the Events eCRF. 
7.2.10 
Physical Measurements 
Height and weight should be measured without shoes at Day 1.  Weight only will be 
measured at weeks 2, 8, 12, 16, and at week 20 (EOS). 
7.2.11 
Electrocardiogram 
At each scheduled visit where ECGs are being obtained, three 12-lead ECGs will be 
collected consecutively approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute apart.  Using equipment 
supplied to each site, all protocol-specified ECGs will be acquired and transmitted to the 
centralized ECG services provider.  The principal investigator or designated physician 
will review acquired ECGs.  One (1) signed, original ECG tracing should be retained with 
the subject’s source documents.  At the request of the sponsor, the original ECG should 
be made available to Amgen.   
Subject must be in supine position in a rested and calm state for at least 5 minutes 
before ECG assessment is conducted.  If the subject is unable to be in the supine

position, the subject should be in most recumbent position as possible.  The ECG must 
include the following measurements: HR, QRS, QT, QTc, and PR intervals. 
The centralized ECG services cardiologists will perform standard interpretations of all 
tracings.  A cardiologist reviewed ECG report will be provided to the study site.  
Investigators must initial and date the ECG reports upon receipt.  If the investigator’s 
interpretation of any protocol-specified or unscheduled ECG differs from that supplied by 
centralized ECG services provider, it is the responsibility of the investigator to make the 
final clinical decisions.  The investigator’s interpretation does not need to be reconciled 
with that supplied by centralized ECG services cardiologists.  Any clinical interventions 
based on these results need to be documented in the appropriate source documents 
and eCRF as applicable.  It is the responsibility of the investigator to obtain additional 
ECGs required for the clinical management of the subject, using centralized ECG 
services equipment or equipment on-site.   
Further details regarding ECG collection requirements for this study will be provided in 
an Investigator ECG Manual distributed to the sites before start of enrollment. 
7.2.12 
Laboratory Assessments 
Central laboratory assessments are to be used to assess subject eligibility (except for 
the pregnancy test, section 7.2.12.1).  All other screening or scheduled study laboratory 
assessments will also be by central laboratory.   
If cardiac biomarkers (troponin I or T) are analyzed locally to evaluate suspected 
myocardial ischemia or infarction,  additional blood samples for troponin I and/or CK-MB 
analysis by the central laboratory must be collected.  The results of the local testing will 
be maintained in the source documents at the site.  Selected local testing results may be 
entered into the eCRF as instructed by Amgen.   
The central laboratory may ship PK samples to Amgen or a specialty laboratory for 
analysis. 
The central laboratory will provide a study manual that outlines handling, labeling, and 
shipping procedures for all blood and urine samples.  The date and time of sample 
collection will be recorded in the source documents at the site. 
Table 3 below outlines the specific analytes for serum chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, 
and other testing to be conducted on blood and urine samples.

analysis and may be assayed several weeks or months after collection.  Therefore, the 
results of the central laboratory troponin analysis will not be routinely provided to the 
investigator. 
At any time during a subject’s study participation when local troponin I or T are drawn to 
evaluate suspected myocardial ischemia or infarction, additional samples for cardiac 
troponin and/or CK-MB analysis by the central laboratory must be collected.  A sample 
for PK analysis should be collected as well unless it has been more than 5 days since 
the last administration of IP.   
The cardiac troponin assay selected for Study 20120227 is the Siemens ADVIA Centaur 
Ultra Troponin I, an assay designated as “guideline acceptable” per the European 
Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart 
Association/World Heart Federation (ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF) Expert Consensus 
Document on the Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (Apple FS, 2009; 
Thygesen et al, 2012). 
7.2.12.3 
Pharmacokinetics of Omecamtiv Mecarbil 
Blood samples for measurement of omecamtiv mecarbil will be drawn before and after 
administration of investigational product at the timepoints shown in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Section 7.1).  Approximately 5 mL of blood will be collected at each time 
point. 
In addition to the PK samples listed in the Schedule of Assessment, Section 7.1, at any 
time during a subject’s study participation when local troponin I or T are drawn to 
evaluate suspected myocardial ischemia or infarction, additional blood samples for 
cardiac troponin I and/or CK-MB analysis by the central laboratory and, if within 5 days 
of the last dose of IP, a sample for PK analysis must be collected. 
Samples will be processed and frozen per the central laboratory manual.  The site will be 
expected to complete a shipping log or requisition that will include subject identification 
information and the time and date of collection for each sample shipped.  Missing 
samples must be clearly documented on the shipping log or requisition.  Please refer to 
the central laboratory manual for instructions on sample collection, processing, and 
shipping of PK samples. 
Omecamtiv mecarbil will not be measured in screening samples and samples from 
subjects not receiving active investigational treatment (omecamtiv mecarbil).

7.2.12.4 
Digoxin 
Blood samples for measurement of digoxin levels (only in subjects taking digoxin) will be 
drawn on Day 1 and week 2 visits as shown in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Section 7.1).  Date, time, and dose of digoxin taken within 3 days prior to the blood 
sampling collection and the date and time of blood sampling must be recorded in the 
Laboratory Requisition Form.  Approximately 2.5 mL of blood will be collected at each 
time point. 
7.2.12.5 
Omecamtiv Mecarbil Therapeutic Monitoring Assay 
Blood samples of 5 mL each will be collected from all subjects at the time points outlined 
in Table 2 to validate the omecamtiv mecarbil drug monitoring (TDM) assay.  The 
omecamtiv mecarbil TDM assay is a fast-turn-around assay intended to aid omecamtiv 
mecarbil dose titration in subjects receiving treatment.   
7.2.12.6 
Pharmacogenomic Studies 
If the subject consents to the optional pharmacogenomic portion of this study, DNA 
analyses may be performed.  These optional pharmacogenomic analyses focus on 
inherited genetic variations to evaluate their possible correlation to the disease and/or 
responsiveness to the therapies used in this study.  The goals of the optional studies 
include the use of genetic markers to help in the investigation of HF and/or to identify 
subjects who may have positive or negative response to omecamtiv mecarbil.  No 
additional samples will be collected for this part of the study.  For subjects who consent 
to these analyses, DNA may be extracted from samples already collected.   
7.2.13 
Echocardiograms 
Assessments for subjects enrolled into the study includes echocardiograms at the 
timepoints detailed in the Schedule of Assessments (Section 7.1).  Where possible, staff 
involved in the treatment and evaluation of the study subject should not view study 
echocardiograms.  Further, the sonographer should abstain from commenting on any 
observations in the echocardiograms that may be potentially unblinding.  The 
echocardiograms will be sent to the central echocardiography laboratory for analysis.  
Please refer to the echocardiography instruction manual for detailed information on 
acquiring, storing, and transmitting the echocardiograms.

Screening and Enrollment 
7.3.1 
Screening 
The following procedures are to be completed during the screening period as outlined in 
the Schedule of Assessments (Table 2):  
• 
Written Informed Consent (to be completed prior to any screening procedures) 
• 
Demographic data including sex, age at time of enrollment, race, and ethnicity will be 
collected in order to study their possible association with subject safety and 
treatment effectiveness.  Additionally demographic data will be used to study the 
impact of biomarker variability and pharmacokinetics of the protocol-required 
therapies. 
• 
Vital signs (HR, BP) 
• 
Serious adverse event assessment (from signing of informed consent) 
• 
Concomitant therapy 
• 
Physical examination as per standard of care  
• 
Medical/surgical history 
• 
ECG (centrally read) 
• 
Blood samples for chemistry, hematology, and, for women of childbearing potential, 
serum pregnancy testing, and, if necessary to determine childbearing potential, FSH 
and LH, or estradiol by central laboratory (note that eGFR will be calculated by the 
central laboratory and provided to the investigator for eligibility) 
• 
Echocardiogram (centrally read) 
If eligibility is confirmed, subjects should be randomized within 30 days of signing the 
informed consent form.   
7.3.2 
Rescreening 
Subjects who in the opinion of the investigator, require major medication changes 
(eg, uptitration of BP medications, uptitration of diabetes medications) can be put on the 
new medication schedule and rescreened after at least 4 weeks.  Subjects who screen 
fail due to a transient laboratory abnormality can be considered for rescreening at least 
4 weeks after prior screen fail.  Rescreening requires signing of a new informed consent.  
Rescreened subjects who are reconsented will repeat all screening procedures.  
Rescreened subjects will maintain the originally assigned subject identification number.  
Subjects who fail any of the eligibility criteria during screening or rescreening need to be 
recorded as screen failed in IVRS/IWRS before they can be reconsented and 
reregistered in IVRS/IWRS for rescreening.  Please note that the clinical trial agreement 
may limit the number of paid rescreens.

Sample Storage and Destruction  
Any blood sample collected according to the Schedule of Assessments (Table 2) can be 
analyzed for any of the tests outlined in the protocol and for any tests necessary to 
minimize risks to study subjects.  This includes testing to ensure analytical methods 
produce reliable and valid data throughout the course of the study.  This can also 
include, but is not limited to, investigation of unexpected results, incurred sample 
reanalysis, and analyses for method transfer and comparability.  
All samples and associated results will be coded prior to being shipped from the site for 
analysis or storage.  Samples will be tracked using a unique identifier that is assigned to 
the samples for the study.  Results are stored in a secure database to ensure 
confidentiality.   
If informed consent is provided by the subject, Amgen can do additional testing on 
remaining samples (ie, residual and back-up) to investigate and better understand HF or 
other cardiovascular conditions, the dose response and/or prediction of response to 
omecamtiv mecarbil, and characterize aspects of the molecule (eg, mechanism of 
action/target).  Results from this analysis are to be documented and maintained, but are 
not necessarily reported as part of this study.  Samples can be retained for up to 
20 years, in accordance with applicable law and subject informed consent.   
Since the evaluations are not expected to benefit the subject directly or to alter the 
treatment course, the results are not placed in the subject’s medical record and are not 
to be made available to the subject, members of the family, the personal physician, or 
other third parties, except as specified in the informed consent. 
The subject retains the right to request that the sample material be destroyed by 
contacting the investigator.  Following the request from the subject, the investigator is to 
provide the sponsor with the required study and subject number so that any remaining 
samples and any other components from the cells can be located and destroyed.

Samples will be destroyed once all protocol-defined procedures are completed.  
However, information collected from samples prior to the request for destruction, will be 
retained by Amgen. 
The sponsor is the exclusive owner of any data, discoveries, or derivative materials from 
the sample materials and is responsible for the destruction of the sample(s) at the 
request of the subject through the investigator, at the end of the storage period, or as 
appropriate (eg, the scientific rationale for experimentation with a certain sample type no 
longer justifies keeping the sample).  If a commercial product is developed from this 
research project, the sponsor owns the commercial product.  The subject has no 
commercial rights to such product and has no commercial rights to the data, information, 
discoveries, or derivative materials gained or produced from the sample.   
See Section 11.3 for subject confidentiality. 
8. 
WITHDRAWAL FROM TREATMENT, PROCEDURES, AND STUDY 
8.1 
Subjects’ Decision to Withdraw 
Subjects have the right to withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason 
without prejudice to their future medical care by the physician or at the institution. 
Subjects (or a legally acceptable representative) can decline to continue receiving IP 
and/or other protocol-required therapies or procedures at any time during the study but 
continue participation in the study.  If this occurs, the investigator is to discuss with the 
subject the appropriate processes for discontinuation from IP or other protocol-required 
therapies and must discuss with the subject the options for continuation of the Schedule 
of Assessments (Table 2) and collection of data, including endpoints and adverse 
events.  The investigator must document the change to the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 2) and the level of follow-up that is agreed to by the subject (eg, in person, by 
telephone/mail, through family/friends, in correspondence/communication with other 
physicians, from review of the medical records).   
Withdrawal of consent for a study means that the subject does not wish to receive 
further protocol-required therapies or procedures, and the subject does not wish to or is 
unable to continue further study participation.  Subject data up to withdrawal of consent 
will be included in the analysis of the study, and where permitted, publically available 
data can be included after withdrawal of consent.  The investigator is to discuss with the 
subject appropriate procedures for withdrawal from the study.  At a minimum, if possible, 
the procedures listed under the final study visit should be performed.

Subjects’ Participation Prior to Study Completion 
The investigator and/or sponsor can decide to withdraw a subject(s) from IP and/or other 
protocol-required therapies, protocol procedures, or the study as a whole at any time 
prior to study completion.   
Subjects may be eligible for continued treatment with Amgen IP(s) and/or other 
protocol-required therapies by a separate protocol or as provided for by the local 
country’s regulatory mechanism, based on parameters consistent with Section 12.1.

SAFETY DATA COLLECTION, RECORDING, AND REPORTING 
9.1 
Adverse Events 
9.1.1 
Definition of Adverse Events 
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial 
subject.  The event does not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment.  
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that any adverse events observed by the 
investigator or reported by the subject are recorded in the subject’s medical record.   
The definition of adverse events includes worsening of a pre-existing medical condition.  
Worsening indicates that the pre-existing medical condition or underlying disease 

Approved

Protocol Number:  20120227 
Date:  23 October 2015

CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
(eg, diabetes, migraine headaches, gout) has increased in severity, frequency, and/or 
duration more than would be expected, and/or has an association with a significantly 
worse outcome than expected.  A pre-existing condition that has not worsened more 
than anticipated (ie, more than usual fluctuation of disease) during the study or involves 
an intervention such as elective cosmetic surgery or a medical procedure while on study, 
is not considered an adverse event.   
The investigator’s clinical judgment is used to determine whether a subject is to be 
removed from treatment due to an adverse event.  In the event a subject, or subject’s 
legally acceptable representative requests to withdraw from protocol-required therapies 
or the study due to an adverse event, refer to Section 8.1 for additional instructions on 
the procedures recommended for safe withdrawal from protocol-required therapies or 
the study.   
9.1.2 
Definition of Serious Adverse Events 
A serious adverse event is defined as an adverse event that meets at least 1 of the 
following serious criteria: 
• 
fatal 
• 
life threatening (places the subject at immediate risk of death) 
• 
requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• 
results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• 
congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• 
other medically important serious event 
An adverse event would meet the criterion of “requires hospitalization”, if the event 
necessitated an admission to a health care facility (eg, overnight stay).   
If an investigator considers an event to be clinically important, but it does not meet any 
of the serious criteria, the event could be classified as a serious adverse event under the 
criterion of “other medically important serious event”.  Examples of such events could 
include allergic bronchospasm, convulsions, blood dyscrasias, DILI (see Appendix A for 
drug-induced liver injury reporting criteria), or events that necessitate an emergency 
room visit, outpatient surgery, or urgent intervention. 
9.2 
Reporting of Adverse Events 
9.2.1 
Reporting Procedures for Adverse Events That do not Meet Serious 
Criteria 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all adverse events observed by the 
investigator or reported by the subject that occur after randomization through the Safety

CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
Follow-up Visit/End of Study (EOS) are reported using the applicable case report form 
(eg, Event eCRF), including events that are reported to the CEC for adjudication. 
The investigator must assign the following adverse event attributes: 
• 
Adverse event diagnosis or syndrome(s), if known (if not known, signs or symptoms) 
• 
Dates of onset and resolution (if resolved) 
• 
Severity [and/or toxicity per protocol] 
• 
Assessment of relatedness to investigational product 
• 
Action taken 
The adverse event grading scale used will be the Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events (CTCAE) grading scale.  The grading scale used in this study is 
described in Appendix A.  If the severity of an adverse event changes from the date of 
onset to the date of resolution, record a single event for each level of severity on the 
Event eCRF. 
The investigator must assess whether the adverse event is possibly related to IP 
(omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo).  This relationship is indicated by a “yes” or “no” 
response to the question:  “Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have 
been caused by IP (omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo)”?   
The investigator must assess whether the adverse event is possibly related to any 
study-mandated activity (eg, administration of investigational product, protocol-required 
therapies, and/or procedure (including an screening procedure(s)).  This relationship is 
indicated by a “yes” or “no” response to the question:  “Is there a reasonable possibility 
that the event may have been caused by a study activity (eg. administration of 
investigational product, protocol-required therapies, and/or procedure?)”  
The investigator is responsible for reviewing laboratory test results and determining 
whether an abnormal value in an individual study subject represents a clinically 
significant change from the subject’s baseline values.  In general, abnormal laboratory 
findings without clinical significance (based on the investigator's judgment) are not to be 
recorded as adverse events.  However, laboratory value changes that require treatment 
or adjustment in current therapy are considered adverse events.  Where applicable, 
clinical sequelae (not the laboratory abnormality) are to be recorded as the adverse 
event. 
The investigator is expected to follow reported adverse events until stabilization or 
reversibility.

9.2.2 
Reporting Procedures for Serious Adverse Events 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all serious adverse events observed by 
the investigator or reported by the subject that occur after signing of the informed 
consent until 30 days after the last dose of IP or Safety Follow-up Visit/End of Study, 
whichever is later, are recorded in the subject’s medical record and are submitted to 
Amgen.  All serious adverse events must be submitted to Amgen within 24 hours 
following the investigator’s knowledge of the event via the applicable eCRF.   
9.2.2.1 
Reporting Serious Adverse Events After the Protocol-required 
Reporting Period 
There is no requirement to monitor study subjects for serious adverse events following 
the protocol-required reporting period defined above or after the end of the study.  
However, these serious adverse events can be reported to Amgen.  In some countries 
(eg, European Union member states), investigators are required to report serious 
adverse events that they become aware of after end of study.  If serious adverse events 
are reported, the investigator is to report them to Amgen within 24 hours following the 
investigator’s knowledge of the event.   
Serious adverse events reported outside of the protocol-required reporting period will be 
captured within the safety database as clinical trial cases for the purposes of expedited 
reporting.   
If the electronic data capture (EDC) system is unavailable to the site staff to report the 
serious adverse event, the information is to be reported to Amgen via an electronic 
Serious Adverse Event (eSAE) Contingency Report Form within 24 hours of the 
investigator’s knowledge of the event.  See Appendix B for a sample of the Serious 
Adverse Event Worksheet/electronic Serious Adverse Event Contingency Report Form.  
If the first notification of a serious adverse event is reported to Amgen via the electronic 
Serious Adverse Event Contingency Report Form, the data must be entered into the 
EDC system when the system is again available. 
The investigator must assess whether the serious adverse event is possibly related to IP 
(omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo).  This relationship is indicated by a “yes” or “no” 
response to the question:  “Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have 
been caused by IP (omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo)?” 
The investigator must assess whether the serious adverse event is possibly related to 
any study-mandated activity or procedure.  This relationship is indicated by a “yes” or

“no” response to the question:  “Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have 
been caused by a study activity/procedure”?  
The investigator is expected to follow reported serious adverse events until stabilization 
or reversibility.   
New information relating to a previously reported serious adverse event must be 
submitted to Amgen.  All new information for serious adverse events must be sent to 
Amgen within 24 hours following knowledge of the new information.  The investigator 
may be asked to provide additional follow-up information, which may include a discharge 
summary or extracts from the medical record.  Information provided about the serious 
adverse event must be consistent with that recorded on the applicable eCRF (eg, Event 
eCRF). 
If a subject is permanently withdrawn from protocol-required therapies because of a 
serious adverse event, this information must be submitted to Amgen. 
To comply with worldwide reporting regulations for serious adverse events, the treatment 
assignment of subjects who develop serious, unexpected, and related adverse events 
may be unblinded by Amgen before submission to regulatory authorities.  Investigators 
will receive notification of related serious adverse events reports sent to regulatory 
authorities in accordance with local requirements.   
Amgen will report serious adverse events and/or suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions as required to regulatory authorities, investigators/institutions, and IRBs/IECs 
in compliance with all reporting requirements according to local regulations and good 
clinical practice.  
The investigator is to notify the appropriate IRB/IEC of serious adverse events occurring 
at the site and other adverse event reports received from Amgen, in accordance with 
local procedures and statutes. 
In addition, the occurrence of deaths and cardiovascular events will be recorded on 
specific worksheets by the investigative study center.  Source documentation supporting 
each cardiovascular event will be provided to Amgen or designee by the investigative 
study center when the event is reported.  Each package (worksheet and supporting 
documentation) will be provided to a CEC for review and adjudication according to the 
CEC manual.  The CEC committee will provide the results of the adjudication to Amgen 
or designee.

The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all serious adverse events/adverse 
events observed by the investigator or reported by the subject that occur after signing of 
the informed consent or randomization, respectively, through the Safety Follow-up 
Visit/EOS are reported using the applicable eCRF (eg, Event eCRF), including events 
that are reported to the CEC committee for adjudication. 
9.3 
Pregnancy and Lactation Reporting 
If a pregnancy occurs in a female subject, or female partner of a male subject, while the 
subject is taking protocol-required therapies report the pregnancy to Amgen as specified 
below. 
In addition to reporting any pregnancies occurring during the study, investigators should 
report pregnancies that occur after the last dose of protocol-required therapies through 
5 days following the last dose of IP.   
The pregnancy should be reported to Amgen Global Patient Safety within 24 hours of 
the investigator’s knowledge of the event of a pregnancy.  Report a pregnancy on the 
Pregnancy Notification Worksheet (Appendix C).   
If a lactation case occurs while the female subject is taking protocol-required therapies 
report the lactation case to Amgen as specified below.  
In addition to reporting a lactation case during the study, investigators should report 
lactation cases that occur after the last dose of protocol-required therapies through 
5 days following the last dose of IP. 
Any lactation case should be reported to Amgen Global Patient Safety within 24 hours of 
the investigator’s knowledge of event.  Report a lactation case on the Lactation

10.1.2 
Analysis Sets 
The PK analysis set (PKAS) includes all randomized subjects who have received at least 
one dose of omecamtiv mecarbil and have at least one evaluable omecamtiv mecarbil 
PK parameter (Cmax, Cpredose).  This analysis set will be used for analyses of all the PK 
endpoints, unless significant protocol deviations have affected the data or if key dosing 
or sampling information are missing, in which case a modified PKAS will be used. 
The full analysis set (FAS) includes all randomized subjects who have received at least 
one dose of IP (omecamtiv mecarbil or placebo).  This set will be used for all analyses of 
non-PK endpoints. 
The completers analysis set is a subset of the FAS and includes subjects who have 
completed IP administration.  The completers analysis set will be used for sensitivity 
analyses.

Sample Size Considerations 
The primary endpoints of this study are the omecamtiv mecarbil PK parameters.  PK 
parameter’s mean will be estimated.  Assuming the SDs for Cmax and AUC are in the 
range of 40 to 90, a sample size of n= 20 subjects in each treatment group, 19 subjects 
(assuming 5% subjects out of a total n = 20 subjects per treatment arm are excluded 
from PKAS) will provide a 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) with half width of 18 to 
41.  The SD estimates are from the predicted steady state PK for 25 mg and 50 mg BID 
doses for Matrix F1 formulation based on simulations performed using PK data following 
single dose from study 20090727.  Table 4 below presents CI half widths given particular 
SDs in this range for 19 subjects per treatment group.

unblinded.  Unblinded individuals, as designated in this section, are to ensure unblinding 
information and potentially unblinding data are not distributed to blinded individuals until 
the study is formally unblinded. 
Staff involved in randomized treatment assignment, IP packaging and labeling, biological 
sample management, and assaying PK samples are unblinded to the treatment 
assignments in this study, but will not have access to subject-level safety or efficacy 
data.  Staff in Amgen’s Clinical Pharmacology Modeling & Simulation who are 
responsible for PK data analysis and interpretation during the conduct of this study will 
not have knowledge of subject IDs; samples are labeled by an alias before analysis.  
The external independent biostatistics group will have access to treatment assignments 
and will provide unblinded results, including aggregate and subject-level data, to the 
DMC for data reviews. 
10.4 
Planned Analyses 
10.4.1 
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) 
An external independent DMC will formally review the accumulating data from Amgen’s 
ongoing omecamtiv mecarbil studies to facilitate detection of any increased risk for harm 
to subjects (eg, unexpected PK concentration due to PK variability).  The DMC will 
review unblinded data approximately every month while subjects are receiving IP.  
Based on the totality of evidence, the DMC will make an overall recommendation to the 
sponsor whether to continue the study according to the protocol or whether to make any 
changes (eg, including, but not limited to, dose change or stopping enrollment).  To 
protect the status of the blind and to minimize potential operational bias, analyses for the 
DMC will be provided by the independent biostatistics group which is external to Amgen 
and supported by designated Amgen staff (eg, Clinical Pharmacology Lead in 
Section 10.3), if needed.  Details will be provided in the DMC charter. 
10.4.2 
Primary Analysis 
To evaluate the PK, PD, safety, tolerability of omecamtiv mecarbil in Japanese subjects 
with HF with reduced ejection fraction, the primary analysis will be conducted when all 
the enrolled subjects in the study either complete the EOS visit (week 20) or terminate 
the study early.  At that time, the database will be cleaned, processed and a snapshot 
will be taken.  At this stage, the study will be unblinded to conduct the primary analysis.  
The primary analysis will include estimation for all endpoints.  No formal hypotheses will 
be tested in this study and all statistical approaches are hypothesis-generating.

Planned Methods of Analysis  
10.5.1 
General Considerations 
Statistical analyses in this study are descriptive in nature. 
Subject disposition, demographics and baseline characteristics will be summarized.   
Summary statistics for continuous variables will include number of subjects, mean, 
median, SD, or standard error, minimum, and maximum.  For PK parameters, coefficient 
of variation will also be included.  For categorical variables, frequency and percentage 
will be presented.  Subjects will be analyzed based on their randomized treatment group 
assignment.   
10.5.2 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoints are the omecamtiv mecarbil PK parameters Cpredose and AUC, 
collected in the study (Section 10.1.1.1). 
In the PK analysis, all plasma concentrations below the quantifiable limits will be 
assigned the value of zero.  For any data excluded from the analyses, specific reasons 
will be provided. 
Individual omecamtiv mecarbil concentration-time data and summary statistics will be 
tabulated for omecamtiv mecarbil.  Individual, mean, and SD concentration-time data 
may be plotted.  The PKAS will contain all subjects for whom at least one PK parameter 
(Cmax, Cpredose) can be adequately estimated.  PK parameters will be calculated using 
non--compartmental methods.  Actual dosing and sampling times will be used for 
calculation of PK parameters.  Descriptive statistics will be generated for each PK 
parameter for each treatment.   
Individual PK parameters will be summarized descriptively at each scheduled 
assessment, in the primary analysis set of PKAS.   
10.5.3 
Secondary Endpoint 
Echocardiographic parameter SET and its change from baseline at week 16 will be 
summarized by treatment group and scheduled assessment.   
In addition, analysis will be performed to explore the potential relationship between 
omecamtiv mecarbil exposure and changes from baseline in SET.  Differences between 
treatment groups in SET will be estimated via repeated-measures model, with difference 
estimates and their 95% CIs presented.  The model will include the stratification factor,

Before a subject’s participation in the clinical study, the investigator is responsible for 
obtaining written informed consent from the subject after adequate explanation of the 
aims, methods, anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study and before any 
protocol-specific screening procedures or any IPs are administered.   
The investigator is also responsible for asking the subject if the subject has a primary 
care physician and if the subject agrees to have his or her primary care physician 
informed of the subject’s participation in the clinical study.  If the subject agrees to such 
notification, the investigator is to inform the subject’s primary care physician of the 
subject’s participation in the clinical study.  If the subject does not have a primary care 
physician and the investigator will be acting in that capacity, the investigator is to 
document such in the subject’s medical record.   
The acquisition of informed consent and the subject’s agreement or refusal of his or her 
notification of the primary care physician is to be documented in the subject’s medical 
records, and the informed consent form is to be signed and personally dated by the 
subject and by the person who conducted the informed consent discussion.  The original 
signed informed consent form is to be retained in accordance with institutional policy, 
and a copy of the signed consent form is to be provided to the subject. 
If a potential subject is illiterate or visually impaired and does not have a legally 
acceptable representative, the investigator must provide an impartial witness to read the 
informed consent form to the subject and must allow for questions.  Thereafter, both the 
subject and the witness must sign the informed consent form to attest that informed 
consent was freely given and understood.   
11.2 
Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee 
A copy of the protocol, proposed informed consent form, other written subject 
information, and any proposed advertising material must be submitted to the IRB/IEC for 
written approval.  A copy of the written approval of the protocol and informed consent 
form must be received by Amgen before recruitment of subjects into the study and 
shipment of Amgen IP. 
The investigator must submit and, where necessary, obtain approval from the IRB/IEC 
for all subsequent protocol amendments and changes to the informed consent 
document.  The investigator is to notify the IRB/IEC of deviations from the protocol or 
serious adverse events occurring at the site and other adverse event reports received 
from Amgen, in accordance with local procedures.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND LEGAL OBLIGATIONS 
12.1 
Protocol Amendments and Study Termination 
If Amgen amends the protocol, agreement from the investigator must be obtained.  The 
IRB/IEC must be informed of all amendments and give approval.  The investigator must 
send a copy of the approval letter from the IRB/IEC to Amgen. 
Amgen reserves the right to terminate the study at any time.  Both Amgen and the 
investigator reserve the right to terminate the investigator’s participation in the study 
according to the study contract.  The investigator is to notify the IRB/IEC in writing of the 
study’s completion or early termination and send a copy of the notification to Amgen.   
Subjects may be eligible for continued treatment with Amgen IP by an extension protocol 
or as provided for by the local country’s regulatory mechanism.  However, Amgen 
reserves the unilateral right, at its sole discretion, to determine whether to supply Amgen 
IP and by what mechanism, after termination of the study and before the product is 
available commercially. 
12.2 
Study Documentation and Archive 
The investigator is to maintain a list of appropriately qualified persons to whom he or she 
has delegated study duties.  All persons authorized to make entries and/or corrections 
on eCRFs will be included on the Amgen Delegation of Authority Form. 
Source documents are original documents, data, and records from which the subject’s 
eCRF data are obtained.  These include but are not limited to hospital records, clinical 
and office charts, laboratory and pharmacy records, diaries, microfiches, radiographs, 
and correspondence. 
eCRF entries may be considered source data if the eCRF is the site of the original 
recording (ie, there is no other written or electronic record of data).   
The investigator and study staff are responsible for maintaining a comprehensive and 
centralized filing system of all study-related (essential) documentation, suitable for 
inspection at any time by representatives from Amgen and/or applicable regulatory 
authorities.  Elements should include the following: 
• 
subject files containing completed eCRFs, informed consent forms, and subject 
identification list 
•

Accountability Records, Return of Investigational Product for Destruction Forms, 
Final Investigational Product Reconciliation Statement, as applicable. 
In addition, all original source documents supporting entries in the CRFs must be 
maintained and be readily available. 
Retention of study documents will be governed by the Clinical Trial Agreement. 
12.3 
Study Monitoring and Data Collection 
The Amgen representative(s) and regulatory authority inspectors are responsible for 
contacting and visiting the investigator for the purpose of inspecting the facilities and, 
upon request, inspecting the various records of the clinical study (eg, eCRFs and other 
pertinent data) provided that subject confidentiality is respected. 
The Amgen Clinical Monitor and/or appropriate Amgen representative is responsible for 
verifying the CRFs at regular intervals throughout the study to verify adherence to the 
protocol; completeness, accuracy, and consistency of the data; and adherence to local 
regulations on the conduct of clinical research.  The Amgen Clinical Monitor and/or 
appropriate Amgen representative is to have access to subject medical records and 
other study-related records needed to verify the entries in the eCRFs. 
The investigator agrees to cooperate with the Amgen Clinical Monitor and/or appropriate 
Amgen representative to ensure that any problems detected in the course of these 
monitoring visits, including delays in completing eCRFs, are resolved. 
In accordance with ICH GCP and the sponsor’s audit plans, this study may be selected 
for audit by representatives from Amgen’s Global Compliance Auditing function (or 
designees).  Inspection of site facilities (eg, pharmacy, protocol-required therapy storage 
areas, laboratories) and review of study-related records will occur to evaluate the study 
conduct and compliance with the protocol, ICH GCP, and applicable regulatory 
requirements. 
Data capture for this study is planned to be electronic: 
• 
All source documentation supporting entries into the eCRFs must be maintained and 
readily available. 
• 
Updates to eCRFs will be automatically documented through the software’s “audit 
trail”. 
• 
To ensure the quality of clinical data across all subjects and sites, a clinical data 
management review is performed on subject data received at Amgen.  During this 
review, subject data are checked for consistency, omissions, and any apparent 
discrepancies.  In addition, the data are reviewed for adherence to the protocol and

GCP.  To resolve any questions arising from the clinical data management review 
process, data queries and/or site notifications are created in the EDC system 
database for site resolution and subsequently closed by the EDC system or by an 
Amgen reviewer.  Additional queries may be sent out by the CEC and, upon 
resolution, will be closed by the CEC. 
• 
The investigator signs only the Investigator Verification Form for this EDC study.  
This signature indicates that investigator inspected or reviewed the data on the 
eCRF, the data queries, and the site notifications, and agrees with the content. 
Amgen (or designee) will perform self-evident corrections to obvious data errors in the 
clinical trial database, as documented in the Study Specific Self Evident Corrections 
Plan.  Examples of obvious data errors that may be corrected by Amgen (or designee) 
include deletion of obvious duplicate data (eg, same results sent twice with the same 
date with different visit-week 4 and early termination) and clarifying “other, specify” if 
data are provided (eg, race, physical examination).  Each investigative site will be 
provided a list of the types of corrections applied to study data at the initiation of the trial 
and at study closeout.   
12.4 
Investigator Responsibilities for Data Collection 
The investigator is responsible for complying with the requirements for all assessments 
and data collection (including subjects not receiving protocol-required therapies) as 
stipulated in the protocol for each subject in the study.  For subjects who withdraw prior 
to completion of all protocol-required visits and are unable or unwilling to continue the 
Schedule of Assessments (Table 2), the investigator can search publically available 
records (where permitted) to ascertain survival status.  This ensures that the data set(s) 
produced as an outcome of the study is/are as comprehensive as possible.   
12.5 
Language 
All written information and other material to be used by subjects and investigative staff 
must use vocabulary and language that are clearly understood.   
12.6 
Publication Policy 
To coordinate dissemination of data from this study, the investigator will solicit input and 
assistance from Amgen staff as appropriate. 
To coordinate dissemination of data from this study, Amgen encourages the formation of 
a publication committee consisting of several investigators and appropriate Amgen staff, 
the governance and responsibilities of which are set forth in a Publication Charter.  The 
committee is expected to solicit input and assistance from other investigators and to 
collaborate with authors and Amgen staff as appropriate as defined in the Publication

Charter.  Membership on the committee (both for investigators and Amgen staff) does 
not guarantee authorship.  The criteria described below are to be met for every 
publication. 
Authorship of any publications resulting from this study will be determined on the basis 
of the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of 
Scholarly Work in Medical Journals (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, 
2014), which states: 
• 
Authorship credit should be based on (1) substantial contributions to conception and 
design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; (2) drafting the 
article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; (3) final approval of the 
version to be published; and (4) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the 
work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the 
work are appropriately investigated and resolved.  Authors should meet conditions 
1, 2, 3, and 4. 
• 
When a large, multicenter group has conducted the work, the group should identify 
the individuals who accept direct responsibility for the manuscript.  These individuals 
should fully meet the criteria for authorship defined above. 
• 
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research 
group, alone, does not justify authorship. 
• 
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship, and all those who 
qualify should be listed. 
• 
Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public 
responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. 
All publications (eg, manuscripts, abstracts, oral/slide presentations, book chapters) 
based on this study must be submitted to Amgen for review.  The Clinical Trial 
Agreement among the institution, investigator, and Amgen will detail the procedures for, 
and timing of, Amgen’s review of publications. 
12.7 
Compensation 
Any arrangements for compensation to subjects for injury or illness that arises in the 
study are described in the Compensation for Injury section of the Informed Consent that 
is available as a separate document.  If permitted under applicable regional laws and 
regulatory guidelines, subjects may be compensated for other inconveniences not 
associated with study-related injuries (eg, travel costs).

Appendix A.  Additional Safety Assessment Information 
Adverse Event Grading Scale 
The adverse event grading scale used will be the Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.  As of the protocol date, the CTCAE is available 
at the following link: 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm 
Potential Drug-induced Liver Injury Reporting & Additional Assessments  
Reporting 
To facilitate appropriate monitoring for signals of DILI, cases of concurrent AST or ALT 
and TBL and/or INR elevation according to the criteria specified in Section 6.3 require 
the following: 
• 
The event is to be reported to Amgen as a serious adverse event within 24 hours of 
discovery or notification of the event (ie, before additional etiologic investigations 
have been concluded) 
• 
The appropriate eCRF (eg, Event eCRF) that captures information necessary to 
facilitate the evaluation of treatment-emergent liver abnormalities is to be completed 
and sent to the Amgen.  
Other events of hepatotoxicity and potential DILI are to be reported as serious adverse 
events if they meet the criteria for a serious adverse event defined in Section 9.2.2. 
Additional Clinical Assessments and Observation 
All subjects in whom investigational product(s) or protocol-required therapies is/are 
withheld (either permanently or conditionally) due to potential DILI as specified in 
Sections 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 or who experience AST or ALT elevations > 3 x ULN are to 
undergo a period of “close observation” until abnormalities return to normal or to the 
subject’s baseline levels.  Assessments that are to be performed during this period 
include:  
• 
Repeat AST, ALT, ALP, bilirubin (total and direct), and INR within 24 hours  
• 
In cases of TBL > 2x ULN or INR > 1.5, retesting of liver tests, BIL (total and direct), 
and INR is to be performed every 24 hours until laboratory abnormalities improve 
Testing frequency of the above laboratory tests may decrease if the abnormalities 
stabilize or the investigational product(s) or protocol-required therapies has/have been 
discontinued AND the subject is asymptomatic.

• 
Initiate investigation of alternative causes for elevated AST or ALT and/or elevated 
TBL: 
− 
Obtain complete blood count (CBC) with differential to assess for eosinophilia 
− 
Obtain serum total immunoglobulin IgG, Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA), Anti 
Smooth Muscle Antibody, and Liver Kidney Microsomal antibody 1 (LKM1) to 
assess for autoimmune hepatitis 
− 
Obtain serum acetaminophen (paracetamol) levels 
− 
Obtain a more detailed history of:  
o Prior and/or concurrent diseases or illness 
o Exposure to environmental and/or industrial chemical agents  
o Symptoms (if applicable) including right upper quadrant pain, 
hypersensitivity-type reactions, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and fever 
o Prior and/or concurrent use of alcohol, recreational drugs and special diets 
o Concomitant use of medications (including non-prescription medicines and 
herbal and dietary supplements), plants, and mushrooms 
− 
Obtain viral serologies 
− 
Obtain creatine phosphokinase, haptoglobin lactate dehydrogenase, and 
peripheral blood smear 
− 
Perform appropriate liver imaging if clinically indicated 
• 
Obtain appropriate blood sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis if this has not 
already been collected  
• 
Obtain hepatology consult (liver biopsy may be considered in consultation with an 
hepatologist) 
• 
Follow the subject and the laboratory tests (ALT, AST, TBL, INR) until all laboratory 
abnormalities return to baseline or normal.  The “close observation period” is to 
continue for a minimum of 4 weeks after discontinuation of all investigational 
product(s) and protocol-required therapies. 
The potential DILI event and additional information such as medical history, concomitant 
medications and laboratory results must be captured in corresponding eCRFs.
