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.

Cardiac Safety Committee Early Career Seminar Award Series

The HESI Cardiac Safety Committee is excited to announce the winners for the committee’s new Early Career Seminar Award Series. This award offers an opportunity for postdocs and early career scientists to share their research, learn from, and network with experts in the toxicology and safety pharmacology fields from academia, regulatory agencies, and pharmaceutical companies. Awardees receive a $500 USD award and are invited to present their research on a public webinar with Cardiac Safety Committee members and other invited guests.

Three awardees were selected for this inaugural Seminar Series:

  • Dr. Julia Hotek, Merck (see event details)
  • Dr. Arvin Soepriatna, Brown University
  • Dr. Shagun Krishna, NTP-NIEHS

Working Groups

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Integrative Strategies Working Group

    This working group has examined the sensitivity within a preclinical species to assess the function of contractility. They continue their partnership with University of Surrey and Imperial College London on a mathematical model to predict blood pressure changes. The Implanted Telemetry Subteam explored the impact of telemetry lead placement in toxicology studies (a collaboration with the Pro-Arrhythmia Working Group).

  • Cardiac Biomarkers Working Group

    This working group is dedicated to investigating preclinical cardiac biomarkers of hypercoagulability induced under a thrombotic state, in both normal and diseased states. A manuscript was submitted detailing a study investigating the effects of doxorubicin in Zucker diabetic fatty rats. A new study is in the planning stages using xenobiotics to induce the procoagulant state and confirm measurements of biomarkers of interest.

  • Cardiac Compound Tool (CCT) Database Subteam

    The Cardiac Safety Steering Team established this new subteam in early 2020 to develop and provide a structured resource for use when identifying compounds appropriate in a planned committee study. Delivery of this publicly accessible database is anticipated by the end of 2022.

  • COVID-19 Subteam

    This subteam was organized in May 2020 in response to the ongoing pandemic. Subteam members identified that emerging treatments for the novel coronavirus may have cardiotoxicities. The group is exploring how to gather cardiac safety data on five emerging therapies, whether prospective or retrospective, and develop a publication.

Enhancing quality of life as a goal for anticancer therapeutics

Science Translational Medicine, 2016

Syril D. Pettit, Steven E. Lipshultz, Charles S. Cleeland, ...

Advances in cancer therapy has resulted in more cancer survivors, and now quality of life throughout treatment and surviving years is becoming a new focus for the scientific community. There are often unintended toxicities related to cancer therapies. HESI established the THRIVE program to address quality-of-life research.

Electrophysiological Characterization of Drug Response in hSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes Using Voltage-Sensitive Optical Platforms

Journal of Pharmacological and Toxicological Methods, 2019

Pfeiffer-Kaushik ER, Smith GL, Cai B, Dempsey GT, ...

Voltage-sensitive optical (VSO) sensors offer a minimally invasive method to study the time course of repolarization of the cardiac action potential (AP). This Comprehensive in vitro Proarrhythmia Assay (CiPA) cross-platform study investigates protocol design and measurement variability of VSO sensors for ...
