EMPACT-MI: A streamlined, multicenter, randomized, parallel group, double-blind placebo-controlled superiority trial to evaluate the effect of EMPAgliflozin on hospitalization for heart failure and mortality in patients with acute Myocardial Infarction
Patient population: high-risk patients hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction
Main eligibility criteria:
Acute myocardial infarction (type 1 - i.e, not secondary to other acute medical condition)
Heart failure symptoms and need for therapy
No history of heart failure
Intervention: empagliflozin 10mg daily vs placebo
FINEARTS-HF: Finerenone study to investigate effectiveness and safety compared to placebo in patients with heart failure. A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of finerenone on morbidity and mortality in participants with heart failure (NYHA II-IV) and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 40% (LVEF ≥ 40%)
Patient population: heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
Main eligibility criteria:
Chronic heart failure (NYHA II-IV) and LVEF ≥40%
No spironolactone use
On diuretics
Intervention: finerenone vs placebo

Patient population: patients with heart failure
Main eligibility criteria:
Heart failure diagnosis
On diuretics
No myocardial infarction or stroke in the past 3 months
Intervention: Cordella™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor System
PARAGLIDE-HF: A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel group, active controlled study to evaluate the effect of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) versus valsartan on changes in NT-proBNP and outcomes, safety, and tolerability in HFpEF patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) who have been stabilized during hospitalization and initiated in-hospital or within 30 days post-discharge
Patient population: patients hospitalized for acute heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
Main eligibility criteria:
Acute heart failure diagnosis
In hospital or recently hospitalized for heart failure
Mildly reduced or preserved LVEF (>40%)
Intervention: sacubitril-valsartan vs valsartan
V-INITIATE: A randomized, multicenter, open-label trial comparing the effectiveness of an "inclisiran first" implementation strategy to usual care on LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and elevated LDL-C (≥70 mg/dL) despite receiving maximally tolerated statin therapy (VICTORION INITIATE).
Patient population: high cardiovascular risk patients
Main eligibility criteria:
Prior myocardial infarction
History of cardiovascular disease
Prior peripheral arterial disease
Intervention: inclisiran vs standard of care
