Clinical trials

Heart failure (HF) is a severe cardiovascular disease with extremely high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, and ischemic cardiomyopathy is an important cause of heart failure. Vericiguat is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator which has been verified to improve the cardiovascular outcomes in heart failure patients. The VICTORIA trial excluded patients with acute coronary syndrome in 3 months prior to the study start, so it is still unclear about the efficacy and safety of vericiguat in heart failure after acute myocardial infarction. So we conducted this multi-center, prospective, cohort study to estimate the efficacy and safety of vericiguat in HF patients after acute myocardial infarction.

The main purpose of the CHIPS trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of colchicine in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients with inflammation, including the effects of colchicine on circulating inflammatory markers, cardiac structure, cardiac function, clinical symptoms and exercise capacity in HFpEF patients.
