A phase III, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effects of dalcetrapib on cardiovascular (CV) risk in a genetically defined population with a recent Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS): The DAL-302 (dal-GenE-2) trial
This research study is testing whether a medication called dalcetrapib can help lower the risk of future heart attacks in people who were recently hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome and have a certain genetic profile. The study compares dalcetrapib to a placebo to see if personalized, genetics-based treatment can better prevent serious heart problems.

Randomized Evaluation of Bromocriptine in Myocardial Recovery Therapy (REBIRTH) for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare type of heart failure that can happen during the last month of pregnancy or within five months after giving birth, causing the heart to weaken and not pump blood well. Many women improve with heart failure treatment. This study is testing whether bromocriptine, a drug approved in the U.S. for other conditions but not PPCM, can help improve heart function in women recently diagnosed with PPCM.
