Rhythm Control - Catheter Ablation With or Without Anti-arrhythmic Drug Control of Maintaining Sinus Rhythm Versus Rate Control With Medical Therapy and/or Atrio-ventricular Junction Ablation and Pacemaker Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation (RAFT-AF)

Atrial fibrillation and heart failure are two common heart conditions that are associated with an increase in death and suffering. When both of these two conditions occur in a patient the patient's prognosis is poor. These patients have poor life quality and are frequently admitted to the hospital. The treatment of atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients is extremely challenging.

Bortezomib, Selinexor, and Dexamethasone in Patients With Multiple Myeloma (BOSTON

This Phase 3, 2-arm, randomized, active comparator-controlled, open-label, multicenter study will compare the efficacy and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and assess the safety of selinexor plus bortezomib (Velcade® or generic equivalent) plus low-dose dexamethasone (SVd) versus bortezomib plus low-dose dexamethasone (Vd) in adult patients with RRMM who have received 1 to 3 prior anti-multiple myeloma (MM) regimens. After progressive disease (PD), patients in the Vd Arm may cross over to SVd treatment. Patients who cross over will be referred to as SVdX patients.

BLADE-PCI Trial (BLADE); PHASE IIB LIPOSOMAL ALENDRONATE STUDY (BLADE)

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy and dose response of LABR-312 administered intravenously at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug eluting stent in reducing restenosis as measured by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 9 months post procedure in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Administration of LABR-312 at the time of PCI will reduce restenosis compared with placebo as assessed by the OCT endpoint of % neointimal hyperplasia (%NIH) volume at 9 months in patients with DM.

An Investigational Immuno-therapy Study of Nivolumab, Elotuzumab, Pomalidomide and Dexamethasone Combinations in Patients With Multiple Myeloma (CheckMate 602)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of several combination therapies for Multiple Myeloma. Upon entry into the study, patients will be randomized (assigned by chance) to receive either:

Group 1: nivolumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone OR Group 2: pomalidomide and dexamethasone OR Group 3: nivolumab, elotuzumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone

A Study of Durvalumab in Combination With Lenalidomide With and Without Dexamethasone in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 study to determine the recommended dose and regimen of durvalumab in combination with lenalidomide (LEN) with and without dexamethasone (dex) in subjects with Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM).

The study will consist of a dose-finding phase as well as a parallel dose-expansion phase to determine the optimal regimen

A Study of Vericiguat in Participants With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) (MK-1242-001) (VICTORIA)

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center, double-blind, event driven study of vericiguat (MK-1242) in participants with HFrEF. The primary hypothesis is vericiguat (MK-1242) is superior to placebo in increasing the time to first occurrence of the composite of cardiovascular (CV) death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization in participants with HFrEF.

Early Aggressive Invasive Intervention for Atrial Fibrillation (EARLY-AF)

The EARLY-AF study is centered on an evaluation of the impact of the early invasive management of Atrial Fibrillation. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of an early invasive approach. Specifically, the investigators are aiming to evaluate if PVI performed with the Arctic Front cryoballoon is superior to AAD as first-line therapy in preventing atrial arrhythmia recurrences (arrhythmia related symptoms, hospitalisations, and health care utilization).

INfluenza Vaccine to Effectively Stop Cardio Thoracic Events and Decompensated Heart Failure (INVESTED)

INVESTED will test the hypothesis that high dose trivalent influenza vaccine will reduce cardiopulmonary events to a greater extent than standard dose quadrivalent influenza vaccine in high-risk cardiovascular patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or heart failure. The trial will enroll 9300 participants over one Vanguard (pilot) season and three additional influenza seasons. The primary endpoint will be a composite of all-cause mortality or cardiopulmonary hospitalization.
