Myeloperoxidase inhibition with mitiperstat in heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction: a randomized phase 2b trial.

Nature medicine·September 9, 2026·PMID 42717033

Why it matters

Myeloperoxidase is implicated in microvascular dysfunction and fibrosis in HFpEF/HFmrEF, but this well-powered trial shows that inhibiting MPO with mitiperstat does not translate into clinical benefit, helping cardiologists avoid ineffective therapy and redirect focus to other mechanisms.
