Edgewise Reports Favorable Interim Safety in Phase 2 HCM Trial of EDG-7500

The readout underscores a clean cardiac safety profile, preserving the timeline for full Part D data in Q2 2026.

Overview

  • An interim Part D update found EDG-7500 was generally well tolerated in 20 participants who completed 12 weeks of dosing.
  • No clinically meaningful changes in left ventricular ejection fraction were observed, with no declines below 50% and no atrial fibrillation events reported.
  • Edgewise says the drug continues to show a differentiated LVEF profile relative to cardiac myosin inhibitors.
  • Parts B and C have completed dosing across 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg cohorts with 43 total participants, including evidence of activity on key HCM markers at the 25 mg dose.
  • Edgewise remains on track to deliver full Part D efficacy and safety data in Q2 2026 and to initiate Phase 3 by year-end 2026, as the FDA’s approval of Cytokinetics’ Myqorzo this week reshapes the competitive landscape and EWTX shares rose 17.96% to $25.65 at publication.
