At the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2025, hosts Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, a cardiologist and codirector of the Center for Cardiometabolic Implementation Science at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Stephen Greene, MD, an advanced heart failure specialist at Duke University School of Medicine, discussed the evolving role of oral diuretic intensification as a potential endpoint in heart failure clinical trials. Historically, endpoints progressed from all-cause mortality to cardiovascular mortality, then to composites that included heart failure hospitalization and urgent outpatient visits. Recent trials have gone further, considering changes in oral loop diuretic therapy as signals of worsening disease. The rationale for including oral diuretic intensification is its frequency, prognostic value, and potential to increase event capture in trials. Data from real-world cohorts and secondary analyses demonstrate that escalation of oral diuretics is associated with increased risks of hospitalization and death, suggesting it is not a benign event. Incorporating these events could enhance trial efficiency by substantially increasing the number of captured endpoints, allowing for smaller and shorter studies while maintaining clinical relevance. However, challenges remain. Definitions vary across studies, raising questions about what constitutes a meaningful intensification—dose doubling, drug class switching, or short-term use of additional diuretics. Distinguishing heart failure–related changes from adjustments for comorbid conditions such as kidney disease or obesity further complicates endpoint validity. Concerns also exist that clinician-driven medication changes may introduce variability or bias unless standardized symptom-based criteria are applied. Despite these complexities, retrospective analyses suggest consistent findings across different statistical approaches, reinforcing the prognostic importance of oral diuretic changes. Broader adoption would require consensus definitions, regulatory acceptance, and frameworks to account for overlapping events, such as escalation followed by IV diuretics or hospitalization. The speakers concluded that oral diuretic intensification represents an important step toward more inclusive and globally applicable trial endpoints that better capture the continuum of worsening heart failure.

This episode of Don't Miss a Beat centers on the evolving treatment landscape for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) with special guest Ahmad Masri, MD. Hosts Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, a cardiologist and codirector of the Center for Cardiometabolic Implementation Science at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Steve Greene, MD, an advanced heart failure specialist at Duke University School of Medicine, are joined by Masri, who serves as the director of the HCM and Amyloid Program at Oregon Health & Science University, to discuss the rapid therapeutic advances in ATTR-CM and the emerging questions shaping real-world clinical practice. Masri reviews the progression from a previously untreatable disease to one now managed with three US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved disease-modifying agents: tafamidis (VYNDAMAX), acoramidis (Attruby), and vutrisiran (AMVUTTRA). He highlights the tafamidis approval in 2019 as a landmark in the field, showing a substantial survival benefit in the ATTR-ACT trial, followed by similar results from acoramidis, which received approval in late 2024, in ATTRibute-CM. Vutrisiran, a TTR gene silencer approved by the FDA in March 2025, represents a mechanistically distinct approach validated in the HELIOS-B trial. Despite these advances, Masri notes that patients with late-stage disease derive limited symptomatic benefit and that residual risk remains high, even with treatment. The conversation explores whether stabilizers and silencers can or should be combined, with Masri urging caution, citing the absence of clinical data demonstrating additive benefit and warning against assumptions of harmony without clinical evidence. Masri indicated ongoing trials, such as CARDIO-TTRansform, may offer clarity on this issue. Without direct comparisons between therapies, treatment selection often hinges on patient preference, delivery method, pill burden, and payer coverage. In practice, clinicians rely on pharmacodynamic markers, like changes in TTR levels, to assess treatment effect and adjust therapy accordingly. Masri emphasizes that while ATTR-CM trials may not show improvements in quality-of-life scores, slowing disease progression remains a critical and meaningful endpoint in this severe, high-mortality condition. Looking ahead, the panel discusses the next wave of therapeutic innovation. Multiple trials are now testing agents that aim to clear amyloid from the myocardium, including NI006 (ALXN2220), PRX004, and AT-02. These immune-modulating treatments are designed for long-term use and may complement stabilizers or silencers in patients with established amyloid burden. The episode closes with a discussion on prevention. For patients with asymptomatic cardiac involvement, current therapies halt disease progression entirely in many cases. For those with pathogenic TTR variants but no overt disease, surveillance is the current standard. However, Masri introduces the ACT Early trial, which will test whether early treatment with acoramidis can prevent the onset of clinical disease in high-risk individuals, potentially reshaping the paradigm of ATTR-CM care.

This episode of Don't Miss a Beat, recorded at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2025 Annual Scientific Sessions, explores the evolving landscape of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) treatment, focusing on the implementation of combination therapies. Hosts Steve Greene, MD, and Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, discuss the transition from a previously limited treatment landscape to a new era with multiple proven therapeutic options. To open the episode, Greene argues in favor of rapid-sequence implementation of HFpEF therapies, drawing parallels to the established 4-pillar guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). He highlights 3 key classes of medications—SGLT2 inhibitors, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), and incretin-based therapies—as the foundation of HFpEF treatment. He emphasizes the importance of early and aggressive therapy initiation to maximize clinical benefits and reduce the risk of delayed or missed treatment opportunities among this population. Vaduganathan acknowledges the strength of the data supporting combination therapy but suggests a more risk-based approach, considering the broad clinical variability among HFpEF patients. He advocates for prioritizing rapid implementation in high-risk patients, such as those recently hospitalized, while allowing a more measured approach for lower-risk individuals. The discussion also touches on the role of phenotyping in tailoring treatment decisions, with GLP-1 receptor agonists being particularly relevant for patients with obesity and ARNi potentially benefiting those with mildly reduced ejection fraction. Looking ahead, the hosts preview upcoming trials, including CONFIDENCE and CONFIRMATION, which will evaluate combination therapy strategies in chronic kidney disease and HFpEF populations. They also discuss the potential of fixed-dose combination therapies to simplify implementation and improve adherence. The episode closes with both experts agreeing on the need for a structured, evidence-based approach to HFpEF treatment while emphasizing the importance of translating trial data into real-world practice.

In this on-site episode of Don't Miss a Beat from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2025 Annual Scientific Sessions, hosts Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, and Steve Greene, MD, break down a pair of trials from the meeting: STRIDE and SOUL. STRIDE Trial The STRIDE trial, funded by Novo Nordisk, was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study initiated in 2020 to evaluate the effects of semaglutide 1.0 mg (Ozempic) on walking distance in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Conducted across 112 sites in 20 countries, the trial enrolled 792 patients, who were randomized 1:1 to receive semaglutide or placebo for 52 weeks. Participants assigned to semaglutide received an escalating dose regimen (0.25 mg to 1.0 mg). The primary endpoint, the ratio from baseline in maximum walking distance at 52 weeks, favored semaglutide (1.21 [interquartile range, 0.95–1.55] vs 1.08 [0.86–1.36]), with an estimated treatment ratio (ETR) of 1.13 (95% CI, 1.06–1.21; P = .0004). Secondary outcomes further supported semaglutide's benefit. At week 57, the improvement in walking distance was greater with semaglutide (ETR, 1.08; P = .038). Quality-of-life scores (VascuQoL-6) at week 52 were significantly higher in the semaglutide group (median difference, 1.00; P = .011). Pain-free walking distance also improved more with semaglutide than with placebo (ETR, 1.11; P = .0046). SOUL Trial The SOUL trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven study designed to assess the cardiovascular effects of oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) in patients with T2D and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and/or chronic kidney disease (CKD). The trial enrolled 9650 patients aged ≥50 years and was conducted across 450 centers in 44 countries. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive semaglutide or placebo, with a mean follow-up of 47.5 months. Primary outcome events occurred in 12.0% of participants receiving semaglutide (3.1 events per 100 person-years) compared with 13.8% in the placebo group (3.7 events per 100 person-years), resulting in a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.86 (95% CI, 0.77–0.96; P = .006). The primary driver of benefit was a 26% reduction in nonfatal myocardial infarction, with additional reductions in nonfatal stroke (12%) and cardiovascular death (7%). No significant improvements in kidney function were observed. Serious adverse events occurred slightly less frequently in the semaglutide group compared with placebo (47.9% vs 50.3%; P = .02). However, gastrointestinal adverse events, including nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and flatulence, were more common in the semaglutide group (5.0% vs 4.4%). Benefits were consistent across subgroups, including participants receiving sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.

William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, of Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by guests Akshay Suvas Desai, MD, MPH of Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Sunil Kapur, MD of Brigham and Women`s Hospital to discuss how the Resynchronization–Defibrillation for Ambulatory Heart Failure Trial (RAFT) showed a greater benefit with respect to mortality at 5 years among patients who received cardiac-resynchronization therapy (CRT) than among those who received implantable cardioverter–defibrillators (ICDs). However, the effect of CRT on long-term survival is not known. We randomly assigned patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or III heart failure, a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% or less, and an intrinsic QRS duration of 120 msec or more (or a paced QRS duration of 200 msec or more) to receive either an ICD alone or a CRT defibrillator (CRT-D). We assessed long-term outcomes among patients at the eight highest-enrolling participating sites. The primary outcome was death from any cause; the secondary outcome was a composite of death from any cause, heart transplantation, or implantation of a ventricular assist device.  https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2304542 Host Disclosure(s): W.

In this podcast Scrip looks at the some upcoming clinical catalysts for biopharma, judged by the size of the sales forecasts at stake. Companies including Sanofi, Cytokinetics, Corcept and Inventiva stand to gain – or lose.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare, genetic heart condition that has a disproportionate impact on people in the Black community because of socio-economic and access issues. Cytonkinetic's experimental therapy aficamten is in late-stage development to treat the condition, but it also reflects a long-term focus of the company to address health inequities. We spoke to Robert Blum, CEO of Cytokinetics, about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, how the company has worked to build relationships in the black community to expand participation in clinical trials, and how it is thinking ahead to issues of access and affordability as it advances the drug towards the market.

Synopsis: Robert Blum and Fady Malik are the President & CEO and EVP, Research and Development, respectively, of Cytokinetics, ​​a late-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing potential medicines that impact the mechanics of muscle and may improve the lives of people living with debilitating diseases. Robert and Fady discuss how they have developed a company culture that embraces some of the learnings that come along with failure and the advice they would provide other leaders. They talk about how the current capital market environment shapes the way the company is operating. They also discuss the cardiovascular market and overall landscape, where Cytokinetics is from a development perspective, and some upcoming milestones. Finally, they each share a piece of advice they wish they could provide to their younger selves knowing what they now know. Biography: Robert Blum has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Cytokinetics and a member of our Board of Directors since 2007. Previously, he served as Cytokinetics' President and held other senior-level positions at the Company overseeing research and development, finance, corporate development, legal, commercial operations, and business development at various times since participating in the launch of Company operations in 1998. Prior to Cytokinetics, Robert held senior positions in business development and marketing at COR Therapeutics from 1991 to 1998.
