Background Information
The Food and Drug Administration is holding a public workshop entitled “Endpoints for Drug Development in Heart Failure." The purpose of this public meeting is to bring the stakeholder community together to discuss clinical endpoints for trials in heart failure that could be used to support FDA approval of drugs. The workshop will focus on endpoints related to symptoms and physical function. In addition, there will be discussion of the need to assess mortality effects of drugs under development for heart failure.
FDA is interested in soliciting feedback on a number of topics:
- Consider and discuss endpoints related to symptoms and physical function, e.g., patient-reported outcome instruments, exercise tests, data from electronic monitors;
- Consider the best ways to count multiple hospitalizations;
- Discuss when the nature and clinical importance of a treatment effect for a particular endpoint may justify deferral or omission of outcomes studies;
- In setting an upper bound for a mortality risk to be ruled-out, discuss how the boundary may be influenced by a drug’s demonstrated benefits and risks;
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of all-cause vs. cardiovascular-specific endpoints, e.g., hospitalizations and deaths;
- Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of adjudicating causes of deaths and hospitalizations.
