The primary goal of this study is to improve our understanding of changes in skeletal muscle mass in the arms and the legs during a hospitalization for advanced HF. We plan to measure muscle thickness with an ultrasound machine in two locations on the body (the outer thigh and the upper arm muscle, of the dominant side) from the time a patient is first admitted to the ICU with HF as well as before and after any surgical HF therapies.

This study aims to learn more about the investigational drug, ASTX727, and another drug, venetoclax, when given in combination. It also aims to evaluate potential pharmocokinetics (PK) interactions for the treatment of newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in adults who are age 75 years or older, or who have comorbidities that preclude use of intensive induction chemotherapy.

The primary purpose of the study is to rule out drug-drug interactions between ASTX727 and venetoclax combination therapy.

HIP ATTACK-2 is a multi-center, international, randomized controlled trial to determine whether accelerated surgery for hip fracture in patients with acute myocardial injury is superior to standard care in reducing death at 90 days after randomization. Other outcomes include; inability to walk 3 meters independently, time to standing and weight-bearing, delirium, length of stay, pain, and quality of life.
