PROVISION Study Which Met Its Primary Endpoint Now Demonstrates Similar Clinical Outcomes for FFRangio and FFR
PROVISION Study, Prospective Randomized Trial Evaluating Clinical Outcomes of FFRangio Versus FFR Guidance, Demonstrates Similar MACE Rates at One Year
PARIS, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today at the annual EuroPCR conference taking place in Paris, France, Dr. Toru Tanigaki of Gifu Heart Center in Gifu, Japan presented the one-year results of the physician-initiated PROVISION1 Study. At TCT 2024, investigators shared that the PROVISION Study met its non-inferiority primary endpoint and revealed economic and resource utilization advantages for the FFRangio technology over traditional invasive FFR.
The PROVISION Study is the first Japanese prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the outcomes of an angio-based technology compared to invasive wire-based physiology and enrolled 401 patients across 13 centers in Japan. Patients with intermediate coronary lesions (30-90% diameter stenosis) were randomized 1:1 to either the wire-based FFR arm, in which the treatment decision was determined based on FFR values obtained using an invasive pressure wire, or the FFRangio arm, in which the treatment decision was based on FFRangio values. Based on the functional evaluations, either revascularization (PCI) and optimal medical management (OMT) or OMT alone were selected, and patients were followed clinically for at least one year.
During a Hotline / Late-Breaking Trials session at EuroPCR 2025, Dr. Tanigaki presented the rates of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at one year for patients treated according to FFRangio guidance versus FFR guidance. MACE was defined as a composite of death from any cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) or unplanned revascularization. MACE at one year was 9.9% for the FFRangio arm versus 12.6% for the FFR arm [HR 0.80 (0.42 to 1.51), p = 0.489]. MACE excluding periprocedural MI was 3.5% for the FFRangio arm versus 6.0% for the FFR arm [HR 0.58 (0.13 to 1.42), p = 0.167]. The rates of all-cause death, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization at one year were all similar in the FFRangio arm and FFR arm.
'The CathWorks FFRangio® System has already demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy compared to wire-based FFR among non-hyperemic indices and angio-based technologies. The FFRangio System not only eliminates the drawbacks of invasive wire-based technologies that have limited the overall adoption of physiology but also provides tools that optimize clinical decision making. With the addition of this new body of clinical evidence demonstrating patients treated according to FFRangio guidance have similar outcomes to those treated based on invasive FFR guidance while potentially reducing procedural resources and costs, we are truly embarking on a new era in physiology, transforming FFRangio into the new standard of care,' said Ramin Mousavi, CathWorks President & CEO.

Follicular Lymphoma Market Growth Accelerates at a CAGR of 6% During the Forecast Period (2025-2034) Due to the Advancements in Targeted Therapies
The follicular lymphoma market is expanding due to several factors. Increased awareness of the disease has led to a higher number of treated cases, contributing to market growth. Additionally, the rising number of clinical trials focused on the different treatment options for follicular lymphoma is a significant driver of its market's expansion. LAS VEGAS, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Follicular lymphoma is a typically slow-progressing B-cell lymphoproliferative disease that originates from transformed follicular center B cells. It is commonly marked by widespread lymph node enlargement, involvement of the bone marrow, and an enlarged spleen, while extranodal manifestations are relatively rare. As of 2024, approximately 35,000 cases of follicular lymphoma have been diagnosed across the 7MM, with both males and females having equal chances of getting the disease. First-line treatment for follicular lymphoma is well-established, with most patients experiencing durable responses to chemoimmunotherapy (CIT). For patients with localized disease, radiotherapy (RT) alone or in combination with immunochemotherapy is commonly used. RT alone may also be an option for localized relapses. Learn more about follicular lymphoma treatment guidelines @ Follicular Lymphoma Treatment Market The follicular lymphoma treatment landscape is broad and continuously evolving, offering multiple options for both newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory (R/R) cases. Rituximab is the primary treatment option across the lines. It takes the highest market share as well as patient share. The availability of rituximab biosimilars has enhanced accessibility and affordability, maintaining its importance in managing the disease. Apart from rituximab, GAZYVA/GAZYVARO (obinutuzumab), which, when combined with chemotherapy, has become a key component in first-line treatment strategies. Its effectiveness in both treatment-naïve and relapsed patients has reinforced its central role in clinical practice. LUNSUMIO (mosunetuzumab) is a bispecific antibody therapy designed to treat adults with R/R follicular lymphoma who have already received two or more prior treatments. Approved in 2023, LUNSUMIO has already captured ~10% patient share in the third line of therapy. Furthermore, the future approvals in earlier lines can boost its market share. Multiple targeted therapies are making significant contributions. TAZVERIK (tazemetostat), an EZH2 inhibitor, provides a precision medicine approach for patients with specific genetic mutations. BRUKINSA (ibrutinib), a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, although primarily approved for other B-cell cancers, also plays a role in follicular lymphoma treatment. Recent approvals have further expanded the arsenal, including EPKINLY/TEPKINLY (epcoritamab), a bispecific antibody targeting CD3 and CD20, as well as CAR T-cell therapies such as KYMRIAH (tisagenlecleucel), YESCARTA (axicabtagene ciloleucel), and BREYANZI (lisocabtagene maraleucel). These innovative immunotherapies are showing encouraging outcomes, particularly in the R/R setting, and are poised to reshape the therapeutic approach to follicular lymphoma by offering deeper and potentially long-lasting remissions.

Discover which therapies are expected to grab major follicular lymphoma market share @ Follicular Lymphoma Therapy MONJUVI (tafasitamab) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets CD19 and has been engineered with an Fc domain to enhance cytolytic activity. It binds to CD19 proteins on B-cell surfaces, inhibiting their function and triggering cell death. The antibody works through apoptosis and immune-mediated mechanisms, including Antibody-dependent Cell-mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) and Antibody-dependent Cellular Phagocytosis (ADCP). In 2010, MorphoSys secured global exclusive rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc., which developed the Fc-engineered XmAb technology incorporated in the drug. In December 2024, Incyte presented pivotal findings from the Phase III inMIND trial at the ASH Annual Meeting. The study showed that combining MONJUVI with lenalidomide and rituximab significantly extended progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma, achieving both the primary PFS endpoint and key secondary measures. AZD0486 (previously TNB-486) is an innovative CD19xCD3 bispecific T-cell engager (TCE) built on an IgG4 backbone. It features a low-affinity anti-CD3 domain designed to limit cytokine release while maintaining robust T-cell-driven cytotoxicity against malignant B cells. The molecule has a silenced Fc region to avoid nonspecific binding and ADCC, while ensuring prolonged half-life for intermittent dosing. AZD0486 is currently in Phase III development for follicular lymphoma. In November 2024, at ASH 2024, AstraZeneca emphasized its growing hematology pipeline through two oral presentations on AZD0486. Phase I trial data revealed strong efficacy in R/R follicular lymphoma patients, with an overall response rate (ORR) of 96% and a complete response rate (CRR) of 85% at doses of 2.4 mg and higher.

MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute Completes First Successful TriClip Procedure for Tricuspid Valve Repair
LONG BEACH, Calif., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The cardiology team at the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center, led by Chief of Cardiology David Shavelle, M.D., performed Long Beach Medical Center's first transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement procedure using a new, innovative treatment option – the transcatheter edge-to edge repair (TEER) TriClip G4 System in September of 2024. The FDA-approved TriClip is a small clipping device designed to clip two or more of the leaflets of the tricuspid, offering a minimally invasive treatment option to patients who have tricuspid regurgitation (TR) – a condition where the tricuspid valve does not close completely when the right ventricle contracts. This device – implanted via a catheter inserted in the vein of the leg – helps reduce tricuspid regurgitation and promotes an immediate improvement in blood flow and allows patients to benefit from a less traumatic procedure and a faster recovery. This advanced technology marks a new era for treating tricuspid valve disease since prior to its introduction, patients could only receive a device better suited for the mitral valve (MitraClip® device). The TriClip device was specifically made for the tricuspid valve. In a large clinical trial, the device was shown to reduce symptoms and hospitalization for heart failure for patients at high-risk for open-heart surgery. 'This new procedure represents a significant advancement in our ability to treat high-risk patients with tricuspid valve heart disease,' says Dr. Shavelle, who led the landmark procedure. 'Historically there wasn't much we could do for those who still had symptoms after tricuspid regurgitation treatment and who were at high-risk for open heart surgery. This device gives patients access to improved quality of life.' This procedure was performed by a highly skilled, diverse team of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anesthesiologists and advanced imaging specialists from the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Long Beach Medical Center. Implantation of the TriClip with the TriClip G4 System is as effective as open-heart surgery, helping patients return to their daily lives in one to two days. 'The patient recovered in the hospital for about two days, and he was able to return to his daily life the following day,' says Dr. Shavelle. 'It's amazing to see the positive impact this device has on our patients, allowing them to return to their daily lives with improved heart function and overall well-being.' The patient who received this procedure, Anthony Williams, reported being fatigued constantly with excessive swelling of the legs (edema) before the procedure. Today, he is more energetic than ever and ready to take on each day.
