Sandra Revill Tremulis, Marketing Consultant at Tremulis Stractical Marketing Consulting and Founder of the Lipoprotein(a) Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Leslie Cho et al, published in American Heart Journal:
“ Pelacarsen — the major trial testing whether Lp(a) lowering saves lives
Pelacarsen outcomes program — Lp(a)HORIZON trial design/rationale
Executive summary: Defines the pivotal outcomes framework for Lp(a): large, multinational, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial in established CVD with elevated Lp(a), testing whether targeted Lp(a) lowering reduces MACE. Value for clinicians/researchers: clarifies inclusion thresholds, endpoints, event-driven design, and the intended inferential strategy—useful when interpreting forthcoming results and planning complementary studies (imaging, biomarkers, implementation).
This is one of the most important trials in cardiovascular medicine today.”
