PRE-INFORMED
A PREliminary Study for the Intervention of an N-of-1 protocol FOR MEDication optimization (PRE-INFORMED)
PRE-INFORMED aims to determine whether N-of-1 trials, a pragmatic, patient-centered approach to medication optimization that can overcome key barriers of deprescribing, can lead to increased patient confidence regarding the decision to continue or discontinue beta-blockers in older adults with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).

N-of-1 for Beta-Blockers in Cardiac Amyloidosis
N-of-1 Trials to Promote Deprescribing in Older Adults With Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
The goal of this study is to generate preliminary data on whether patients with cardiac amyloidosis feel better when their beta-blocker is stopped. To achieve this objective, 20 N-of-1 trials (on vs. off) will be conducted, and the study team will subsequently interview participants to better understand their outcomes. We will also engage stakeholders to understand the acceptability and feasibility of deprescribing N-of-1 trials.

Pragmatic Evaluation of Events And Benefits of Lipid-lowering in Older Adults (PREVENTABLE)
PREVENTABLE is a multi-center, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled superiority study. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to atorvastatin 40 mg or placebo. This large study conducted in community-dwelling older adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD) or dementia will demonstrate the benefit of statins for reducing the primary composite of death, dementia, and persistent disability and secondary composites including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cardiovascular events.

HERMES
A Research Study to Look at How Ziltivekimab Works Compared to Placebo in People With Heart Failure and Inflammation (HERMES)
HERMES is a multi-center, randomized study aims to examine whether ziltivekimab can be used to treat people living with heart failure and inflammation, through participants receiving either ziltivekimab or a placebo. Participants will have to use a study application on their phone to record and share information about all their injections of study medicine and to fill in questionnaires.

RESPONDER-HF
Re-Evaluation of the Corvia Atrial Shunt Device in a Precision Medicine Trial to Determine Efficacy in Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction (EF) Heart Failure
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, sham controlled, double blinded clinical trial, that aims to test the efficacy of a fluoroscopically and intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE), or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guided trans-septal puncture and Corvia Atrial Shunt implant procedure versus a control. The primary endpoint is a composite of heart failure event rates and Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) at 12 months.

LEVEL
LEVosimendan to Improve Exercise Limitation in Patients With PH-HFpEF (LEVEL)
LEVEL is a phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of TNX-103 (levosimendan) compared with placebo in subjects with PH-HFpEF as measured by the change in 6-Minute Walk Distance (6 MWD; Day 1 to Week 12).

REBALANCE-HF
Endovascular Ablation of the Right Greater Splanchnic Nerve in Subjects Having HFpEF (REBALANCE-HF)
REBALANCE-HF aimed to assess the safety and initial effectiveness of catheter-based unilateral ablation of the right greater splanchnic nerve (GSN) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
HuMAIN Study
Exploratory Phase 2A, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Safety, Tolerability, PD, and PK of HU6 for the Treatment of Subjects With Obese Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)
HuMAIN aimed to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of HU6 for the treatment of subjects with Obese Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). Subjects were randomized (1:1) either to HU6 or placebo.
EMBARK-HFpEF
A Study of Mavacamten in Participants With HFpEF and Chronic Elevation of cTnI and/or NT-proBNP (EMBARK-HFpEF)
EMBARK-HFpEF evaluated the effect of mavacamten treatment on biomarkers levels in participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and chronic elevation of cTnI and/or NT-proBNP.
CARDIO-TTRansform
A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AKCEA-TTR-LRx in Participants With Transthyretin‑Mediated Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR CM)
CARDIO-TTransform evaluated the efficacy of AKCEA-TTR-LRx compared to placebo for 120 weeks in patients with ATTR-CM receiving available standard of care (SoC).

Pilot Deprescribing N-of-1 Trials for Beta-blockers in HFpEF
N-of-1 Trials for Deprescribing Beta-blockers in HFpEF
This study tested the feasibility of N-of-1 trials for deprescribing beta-blockers in patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction. To achieve this objective, we conducted 4-period N-of-1 trials (on vs. off) and subsequently interviewed participants to better understand feasibility and pragmatism.
INVESTED
