There remains a large unmet need for new therapies in the treatment of heart
failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In the early drug development
phase, the therapeutic potential of a drug is not yet fully understood and trial
endpoints other than mortality are needed to guide drug development decisions.
While a true surrogate marker for mortality in heart failure (HF) remains
elusive, the successes and failures of previous trials can reveal markers that
support clinical Go/NoGo decisions.
