Overview

Our recurring review series, View from the Thoraxcenter, hosted by Prof Nicolas Van Mieghem and Dr Joost Daemen (Thoraxcentre, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, NL) offers a thorough examination of late-breaking and featured scientific findings, highlighting significant data.

 

To delve deeper into the pivotal clinical trial data unveiled at ACC 24, Dr Harriette Van Spall (McMaster University, Hamilton, CA) conducts interviews with the principal investigators as part of her Late-Breaker Discussion Series.

 

For brief and focused coverage of the essential data unveiled, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with a select group of faculty members, concentrating on the results, relevance, and implications for future research.

About the episode

ACC 2024 — Late-breaker host, Dr Harriette Van Spall and Principal Investigator, Dr C Michael Gibson discuss the AEGIS-II trial (CSL Behring) (NCT03473223).

This phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study investigated the efficacy and safety of an apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), CSL112 in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Investigators enrolled 18200 participants. The primary outcome measure is the time to first occurrence of any component of composite MACE.

Findings revealed at ACC.24 showed that amongst acute myocardial infarction patients with multivessel disease and additional cardiovascular risk factors on guideline directed background therapies, four weekly infusions of CSL112 did not significantly reduce cardiovascular death, MI or stroke through 90 days.

Secondary findings showed that that as baseline LDL-C increased, the potential treatment effect of ApoA-I infusion significantly increased when analysed as a continuous variable.
