Late-Breaking Clinical Trials I: Joint ACC/Journal of the American College of Cardiology Late-Breaking Clinical Trials

  • the CLEAR outcomes trial of bempedoic acid (Nexletol, Esperion Therapeutics) in statin-intolerant patients at high CV risk;
  • the TRILUMINATE pivotal trial of transcatheter tricuspid valve edge-to-edge repair (TriClip, Abbott) for tricuspid regurgitation; and
  • the STOP-CA trial of statins for the prevention of cardiotoxicity from anthracyclines.

Late-Breaking Clinical Trials II: Joint ACC/New England Journal of Medicine Late-Breaking Clinical Trials

  • the UK Mini trial of minimally invasive compared with conventional sternotomy for mitral valve repair surgery;
  • the final 5-year results from the COAPT trial of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (MitraClip, Abbott) for functional mitral regurgitation in HF;
  • the 3-year outcomes of the Evolut Low Risk Trial of transcatheter (CoreValve, Evolut R or Evolut PRO; Medtronic) compared with surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis at low surgical risk;
  • the BIOVASC trial of complete revascularization strategies for patients with ACS and multivessel coronary disease; and
  • the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI of IV imaging-guided compared with angiography-guided optimization of complex PCI.

Late-Breaking Clinical Trials III

  • the BETTER CARE-HF trial of electronic tools to enhance and reinforce CV recommendations for HF;
  • the NUDGE-FLU nationwide randomized trial of electronically delivered nudges to increase influenza vaccination;
  • the PCDS statin trial of a personalized clinical decision support intervention to improve statin prescribing in patients with atherosclerotic CVD;
  • a trial translating polygenic risk for CAD into clinically actionable information using causal artificial intelligence; and
  • the ACCESS trial that assessed the impact of eliminating copayment for high-value preventive medications for low-income seniors with chronic CVDs.

Late-Breaking Clinical Trials IV: Joint ACC/Journal of the American Medical Association Late-Breaking Clinical Trials

  • the Pulsed AF pivotal trial of pulsed field ablation treatment (PulseSelect PFA System, Medtronic) for paroxysmal and persistent AF;
  • the BMAD trial of HF management using thoracic fluid monitoring from a novel wearable sensor (Microcor, Zoll);
  • a trial assessing a novel wrist-worn transdermal troponin-I sensor for acute MI;
  • the phase III A DUE study of the efficacy and safety of fixed dose combination macitentan and tadalafil (Actelion) in pulmonary arterial hypertension; and
  • the COORDINATE Diabetes trial of interventions to improve outcomes in diabetes.

Late-Breaking Clinical Trials V

  • the LIVE-HCM study of vigorous exercise in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;
  • a trial assessing return-to-play for elite level athletes with sudden cardiac death-predisposing genetic heart diseases;
  • the Freedom Covid Anticoagulation trial assessing anticoagulation strategies in non-critically ill, hospitalized patients with COVID-19;
  • the STELLAR phase III trial of combination sotatercept (Acceleron/Merck) with background therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension; and
  • a phase 2b trial assessing the efficacy and safety of the oral PCSK9 inhibitor MK-0616 (Merck) for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
