Bartosz Hudzik: Clinical Trials to Watch in 2026 – A Cardiovascular Lens
Bartosz Hudzik, Editorial Consultant at JACC Case Reports, shared on LinkedIn:
“Clinical trials to watch in 2026 — a cardiovascular lens
Nature Medicine highlights 11 trials poised to shape medicine in 2026. In cardiology, two stand out:
- Ziltivekimab – targeting the IL-6 inflammatory pathway to reduce residual inflammatory risk in atherosclerosis and CKD, moving beyond lipid-only prevention.
- Pelacarsen – a first-in-class antisense therapy for lipoprotein(a), tackling one of the most important genetically driven and previously untreatable CV risk factors.
Both are Phase 3 programs with the potential to redefine precision prevention.
2026 may be the year cardiovascular medicine shifts from risk markers to causal, target-specific therapies.”
