The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of finerenone compared to placebo (a tablet without active substance) in the reduction of cardiovascular death (generally meaning death due to disease of the heart or blood vessels) and total Heart Failure (HF) events, including HF hospitalization and urgent visits for HF(generally meaning a hospital stay or urgent presentation to a healthcare unit due to worsening symptoms of heart failure) in patients suffering from HF with an ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Researchers will also collect information on how much the heart disease has impact on patient’s lives, change of kidney function, and how well finerenone treatment is tolerated. The study plans to enroll 5500 male and female patients of the age of 40 years and above suffering from heart failure with ejection fraction greater than or equal to 40%. Participants will take the study product as oral tablet with a dose between 0 (Placebo) 40 mg once daily. Study duration will be up to 43 months.

ORION-4 is a research study coordinated by the University of Oxford and co-sponsored by The University of Oxford and Novartis (Protocol: CTSU_MDCO-PCS-17-01 (CKJX839B12301)). The study aims to find out if a new cholesterol-lowering injection (inclisiran) safely lowers the risk of heart attacks and strokes in people who have already had one of these conditions, or who have had an operation or procedure to treat blocked arteries.

This study is to assess LDL-C reductions at Week 52 with monthly (Q4W [≤31 days]) dosing of LIB003 (lerodalcibep) 300 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) compared to placebo in patients with very-high risk for CVD on a stable diet and oral LDL-C lowering drug therapy.

Condition: Cholesterol, Heart Disease

This study is to assess LDL-C reductions at Week 52 with monthly (Q4W [≤31 days]) dosing of LIB003 (lerodalcibep) 300 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) compared to placebo in patients with CVD, or at high risk for CVD, on a stable diet and oral LDL-C lowering drug therapy

Condition: Cholesterol, Heart Disease

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vericiguat in participants with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), specifically those with symptomatic chronic HFrEF who have not had a recent hospitalization for heart failure or need for outpatient intravenous (IV) diuretics. The primary hypothesis is that vericiguat is superior to placebo in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization.

This study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study in participants with underlying heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and/or ASCVD to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of obicetrapib as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated lipid-lowering therapy.
