Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire - Clinical Summary Score (KCCQ-CSS) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 36 ]
    Effect of aficamten compared with placebo on participant health status


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in composite of two Z-scores of CPET parameters (pVO2 and VE/VCO2 slope) [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 36 ]
    Effect of aficamten compared with placebo on global exercise capacity based on maximal and sub-maximal exercise performance

    Effect of aficamten compared with placebo on NYHA Functional Classification

  3. Change in NT-proBNP [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 36 ]
    Effect of aficamten compared with placebo on a biomarker of cardiac wall stress

  4. Change in LAVI [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 36 ]
    Effect of aficamten compared with placebo on echocardiographic measures of structural remodeling

  5. Time to first CV event (CV death; heart transplantation or left ventricular assist device; aborted sudden cardiac death; non-fatal stroke; heart failure hospitalization; or cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment or hospitalization) [ Time Frame: Baseline to End of Study, Week 72 ]
    Effect of aficamten compared with placebo on cardiovascular events
