Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of finerenone compared to a placebo in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure who have mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial aims to understand how finerenone affects morbidity and mortality in this patient group. Participants will receive either oral finerenone or a matching oral placebo. The study focuses on patients currently hospitalized or recently discharged with heart failure symptoms and specific heart function measures. The trial is event-driven and will continue for up to approximately 30 months to collect sufficient data on outcomes. During the study, researchers will monitor the total number of heart failure events and cardiovascular deaths, as well as track serious adverse events and any adverse events that lead participants to stop the study drug. These ongoing assessments will help evaluate the overall safety and impact of the treatment over the duration of the trial.

Researchers are evaluating whether ziltivekimab can help people who were hospitalized due to a heart attack by potentially reducing the development of heart disease and preventing new heart attacks or strokes. This Phase 3 study compares ziltivekimab with a placebo, which is a dummy medicine that has no effect on the body. Both treatments are given by chance, with equal likelihood for participants to receive either ziltivekimab or placebo. Participants will inject the study medicine once a month under the skin in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Ziltivekimab is given as an initial loading dose followed by monthly maintenance doses. The placebo group receives a matching injection schedule. The study duration is about two years. During the study, researchers will monitor participants for the time until the first serious heart-related event, including cardiovascular death, non-fatal heart attack, or non-fatal stroke. Participants will be closely observed from the start of randomization up to 25 months. The study includes regular follow-ups to assess safety and effectiveness of the treatments throughout this period.

Researchers are evaluating the effect of muvalaplin on reducing cardiovascular risk in adults with elevated lipoprotein(a) levels who either have atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or are at risk for a heart attack or stroke. This Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study focuses on adults with high Lp(a) levels and prior or potential cardiovascular events. The study aims to assess the time to the first major adverse cardiovascular event over about 5.25 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either muvalaplin or a placebo, both administered orally. The study includes individuals with Lp(a) levels of at least 175 nanomoles per liter who have had a prior cardiovascular event within 10 years or are at risk for a first event due to conditions such as coronary artery disease, carotid stenosis, peripheral artery disease, high coronary artery calcium score, reduced kidney function with diabetes, or other high-risk factors. The treatment period lasts through the study duration, with close monitoring. During the study, participants will be regularly evaluated to track the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events, including heart attacks and strokes. Safety assessments will monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and heart failure status among other health indicators. The primary outcome measures the time to the first major cardiovascular event from baseline up to the end of the study, which spans approximately 5.25 years.

This research aims to collect real world data on patient characteristics, disease management, healthcare use, and outcomes for people living with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. It focuses on understanding how these conditions are managed and the quality of care patients receive in everyday clinical practice across many countries. The registry is observational and voluntary, designed to fill gaps in knowledge about these diseases globally. The study uses a multinational, observational registry with a cloud-based electronic case report form (eCRF) to gather both prospective and retrospective data. This system is accessible to doctors managing patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease worldwide. There are no specific treatments or interventions given as part of this study since it is a data collection registry. Participants provide information for an average of 3 years during the study. Researchers will collect data on patient characteristics, disease management, healthcare use, quality of care indicators, cardiovascular outcomes, kidney outcomes, and other related complications. The registry allows ongoing data entry and monitoring to better understand real world outcomes and care quality for these conditions.
