Cardiac Safety Committee

Mission Statement

The mission of the HESI Cardiac Safety Committee is to improve public health by reducing unanticipated cardiovascular-related adverse effects from drugs or chemicals, and to develop innovative approaches to support early detection and prediction as well as improved understanding of cardiovascular toxicology and pathobiology.

Working Groups

  • Cardiac Biomarkers Working Group

    This working group is dedicated to investigating preclinical cardiac biomarkers of hypercoagulability denoting increased thrombotic risk across diverse patient populations. In order to qualify novel and sensitive biomarker assays, we undertook preliminary pilot studies and have just completed a more comprehensive comparative study of distinct procoagulant and hypofibrinolytic stimuli. Data analyses and manuscript preparation are in progress, with submission in a peer reviewed journal planned for early 2025.

    Eric Schultze, PhD (Eli Lilly & Company)
    Marjory Brooks, DVM (Cornell University)

  • Cardiac Compound Tool (CCT) Database Subteam

    The Cardiac Safety Steering Team established this subteam in early 2020 to develop and provide a structured resource for use when identifying compounds appropriate in a planned committee study. The database was published April 2024.

    Additional compound suggestions will be reviewed annually.

  • Integrative Strategies Working Group

    This working group completed their partnership with the University of Surrey and Imperial College London on a mathematical model to predict blood pressure changes. The resulting manuscript was published in 2024. The new subteam exploring blood pressure measurements expanded to include a focus on developing nonclinical data in support of draft FDA guidance on pressor effects. This expansion resulted in new members joining the team. The interlaboratory study to assess changes in BP in the canine in vivo cardiovascular model is underway. This study is using telemetry recording methods to detect positive and negative effects as a result of drug exposures for compounds with known BP effects in the clinic.

  • Pro-Arrhythmia Working Group

    This working group is dedicated to investigating mechanisms of proarrhythmic risk. They continue to collaborate with the CiPA Initiative and ICH, and recently published its anticipated high throughput systems (HTS) ion channel work. A new subteam is scoping a conduction/ sodium channel paper to discuss the history and challenges surrounding this topic.

    A 3-phased project was conducted by the HESI Pro-Arrhythmia Working Group starting with a detailed literature review and followed by a collaborative HESI-FDA database of 150 new drug candidates to evaluate how predictive nonclinical studies are to clinical outcomes.

  • Stem Cell Working Group

    This group is working to understand and characterize use of stem cell–derived cardiomyocytes in cardiac safety assessments. An article that included best practices for use of stem cell cardiomyocytes in cardiac safety assessments was published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology. A new group is planning a study to explore in vitro assay ability to detect cardiotoxicity.

  • Past Working Groups

    FDA U01 Validating Stem Cell Technology: HESI has been awarded a multi-year U01 grant from the US FDA on the “Evaluation of Integrated Human-Relevant Approaches to Identify Drug Induced Cardiovascular Liabilities.” This grant supports HESI in funding and managing novel, in vitro experimental studies to develop targeted mechanistic data to inform drug safety assessment for key cardiac “failure modes.”

    FDA BAA Ion Channel Patch Clamp Study: HESI received a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) award from the US FDA to manage a multi-site study on manual and automated patch clamp platforms. The original study included 4 ionic currents (hERG, Nav1.5 peak, Nav1.5 late and Cav1.2) and 14 compounds and has been expanded to include a total of 28 compounds. The project aims to collect additional information on inter-laboratory variability as well as support the FDA in silico model.
