ELIXA Summary

• Demonstrates CV safety of lixisenatide (as defined by FDA

Guidance), but not superiority in reducing CV events

• Additional analyses indicate safety with respect to heart

failure events as well as death

• Neutral effects seen across wide spectrum of heart failure

risk

ELIXA: what does it mean ?

• CV safety of lixisenatide in post ACS patients appears

excellent

• No signal of increase in risk of HF

• Probably does not rule out a genuine CV benefit

– Diabetes is long standing

– Follow up is too short

Summary I

• In patients hospitalized for worsening chronic HFrEF with type 2

diabetes mellitus and/or CKD, the proportion of patients with a

relative decrease in NT-proBNP of more than 30% from baseline to

day 90 was similar in the eplerenone group and the finerenone

groups

• The incidence of the clinical composite endpoint (all-cause death,

cardiovascular hospitalization or emergency presentation for

worsening chronic heart failure) at day 90 was lower with all

finerenone doses (except 2.5–5 mg) than with eplerenone, with the

lowest incidence observed in the finerenone 10–20 mg dose group

Summary II

• All doses of finerenone were well tolerated, with a similar

incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events in the

eplerenone group and finerenone groups

• Hyperkalaemia (serum potassium ≥ 5.6 mmol/L) was observed

in 44 patients (4.3%) at any time post-baseline

• FINESSE-HF (3600 Pts. with reduced EF and Diabetes and/or CKD)

• FIGARO-DKD (6400 Pts. With diabetic kidney disease UACR <300mg/g)

Background

There is clinical need to rapidly and safely rule-in or rule-out acute myocardial

infarction (AMI) in patients with acute chest pain in order to

1. initiate fast evidence based treatment for patients with AMI

2. limit overuse of scarce medical resources in the emergency room (ER)

discharging patients without acute cardiac conditions.

Guidelines recommend1,2 measuring high sensitivity assayed troponins directly after

admission and after 3 hours detecting elevated levels based on the 99th percentile of

the specific assays together with an increase/decrease.

Recent studies (ADAPT (2-hour)3 and APACE (1- hour)4 cohort) challenge current

guidelines with intervals shorter than 3 hours.

Aim of the study

To investigate the application of

high sensitivity assayed troponin I (TnI) for

a) a rapid 1-hour rule-out and rule-in compared to a 3-hours

approach

b) a lower and more sensitive cut-off value compared to the 99th

percentile

BACC Rule-In

PPV: positive predictive value; NSTEMI 1: non STEMI type 1

Suggested 1-hour algorithm NSTEMI rule-in:hsTnI after 1h > 6 ng/L and a delta of 12 ng/L to 0h

Resulted in 116 out 1,046 being identified as NSTEMI after 1 hour

A 1-hour algorithm is safe to rule-out AMI.

A sensitive troponin I cut-off (6 ng/L) performed better compared to

the 99th percentile (27 ng/L) in view of lower follow-up mortality.

Low troponin I values predict mortality in the general population.

Further studies are needed to test the best cut-off for each troponin

assay and to validate a 1-hour algorithm prospectively.
