A Study of Vericiguat in Participants with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (Hfref) (MK-1242-001) (VICTORIA) A Study of Vericiguat in Participants With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) (MK-1242-001) (VICTORIA) SECONDARY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER MK-1242-001-04, VICTORIA; CT.gov: NCT02861534 FDA CLINICAL TRIAL REFERENCE (CTR) NUMBER 2016-CT0367 SCIENTIFIC TITLE A Randomized Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Event-Driven, Multi-Center Pivotal Phase III Clinical Outcome Trial of Efficacy and Safety of the Oral sGC Stimulator Vericiguat in Subjects With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) - VerICiguaT Global Study in Subjects With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (VICTORIA) PROJECT DESCRIPTION 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.

Method：Molsidomine, oral nitric oxide donor, was administrated over 12 weeks in 20 patients (6 male, 14 female, 54±11.5 years) in order to observe the clinical effects in patients with coronary artery spasm unresponsive to nitrate and calcium channel blockers. Changes in the frequency of pain and sublingual nitroglycerin use, blood pressure, heart rate, side effects, electrocardiogram, and laboratory fin- dings were evaluated before and after Molsidomine therapy. Results：The frequencies of pain and sublingual nitroglycerin use were 3.9±0.9/week before treatment and decreased to 2.9±0.9/week at 4th week after the additional Molsidomine treatment (pre-treatment vs.

The approval of VERQUVO by the FDA, which is the rst treatment for chronic heart failure approved specically for patients following a hospitalization for heart failure or need for outpatient IV diuretics, is based on the results of the pivotal Phase 3 VICTORIA trial and follows a priority regulatory review. VERQUVO (vericiguat) 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg tablets is being jointly developed with Bayer AG. The VERQUVO label contains a boxed warning that indicates that VERQUVO should not be administered to pregnant females because it may cause fetal harm. For more information, see “Selected Safety Information” below. “Patients with symptomatic chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction have a high risk for hospitalization after experiencing symptoms of heart failure requiring outpatient IV diuretic treatment or hospitalization.

DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 78-167 PREFACE The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 emphasizes the need for standards to protect the health and provide for the safety of workers occupationally exposed to an ever-increasing number of potential hazards. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) evaluates all available research data and criteria and recommends standards for occupational exposure. The Secretary of Labor will weigh these recommendations along with other considerations, such as feasibility and means of implementation, in promulgating regulatory standards. NIOSH will periodically review the recommended standards to ensure continuing protection of workers and will make successive reports as new research and epidemiologic studies are completed and as sampling and analytical methods are developed. The contributions to this document on nitroglycerin (NG) and ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN) by NIOSH staff, other Federal agencies or departments, the review consultants, the reviewers selected by the American Industrial Hygiene Association, and by Robert B.

The views and conclusions expressed in this document, together with the recommendations for a standard, are those of NIOSH.

  • Cardiovascular Implications in the Use of PDE5 Inhibitor Therapy
    International Journal of Impotence Research (2004) 16, S20–S23 & 2004 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0955-9930/04 $30.00 www.nature.com/ijir Cardiovascular implications in the use of PDE5 inhibitor therapy DH Maurice* Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Queen’s University at Kingston, Kingston, ON, Canada Cardiovascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) exist as resting or activated cells. Resting SMCs produce contractile proteins and are nearly transcriptionally inactive; activated SMCs are transcriptionally active and are involved in pathological processes such as atherosclerosis. Soluble guanylate cyclase, protein kinase G, and protein kinase A are present in SMCs, but their levels can be decreased in activated cells. Phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) activity is abundant in cardiovascular tissues; both PDE3A and PDE3B are involved in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) hydrolysis in these tissues. Cyclic-AMP-hydrolyzing PDE activities are altered during the phenotypic transition of SMCs from the resting to the activated phenotype. Similar changes have been observed in cyclic guanosine monophosphate cGMP-hydrolyzing PDEs, although the impact of these alterations on PDE5 inhibitor-mediated effects requires further study. This report presents the changes in PDE expression that accompany phenotypic modulation of SMCs and discusses the potential impact of these events on PDE5-mediated cell functions.

Sinha 1,*, Lalith Perera 2 and Ronald E. Cannon 1 1 Laboratory of Toxicology and Toxicokinetic, National Cancer Institute at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA; [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Genome Integrity and Structural Biology, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-984287-3382 Simple Summary: Development of resistance to chemotherapeutics during the treatment of human cancers is a serious problem in the clinic, resulting in a poor treatment outcome and survival. It is believed that overexpression of ABC efflux proteins (e.g., P-gp/ABCB1, BCRP/ABCG2 and MRP/ABCC1) on the tumor cell membrane is one of the main mechanisms for this clinical resistance. Our recent studies indicate that nitric oxide (NO), inhibits ATPase functions of ABC transporters, resulting in reversal of resistance to various anticancer drugs. In this study we have found that nitric oxide and/or active metabolite (s) generated from NCX4040, a nitric oxide donor, inhibited ABC transporter activities by inhibiting their ATPase functions, causing reversal of both adriamycin and topotecan resistance in human MDR tumor cells. We also found that nitric oxide and/or metabolites of NCX4040 significantly enhanced drug accumulations in MDR tumor cells.

Among marketed anti-anginal medications, molsidomine, nicorandil, and trimetazidine are approved in Korea with unique mechanism of actions. As these drugs are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the access to the up-to-dated and comprehensive safety-related information has been less than optimal from drug information resources used by Korean pharmacists. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using Embase and Korean manuscripts to compile safety updates for these medications. Out of 418 articles from keyword searches, 52 studies were reviewed in full to compare adverse effects (AEs) with the approved package inserts (PI). Results: Molsidomine related adverse effects were mostly mild or moderate, but anxiety, palpitation, epigastric pain, and sexual potency reduction were additional AEs found from the review not listed in PI.
