• Many patients with BMFD can have bone marrow evaluations that raise concern for possible myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) including but not limited to dysplastic bone marrow evaluations or cytogenetic abnormalities. However, in patients BMFD these findings are not necessarily diagnostic or consistent with MDS. Therefore, given the complexities of diagnosing MDS in patients with BMFD, all patients with bone marrow evaluations concerning for possible MDS should be submitted to the ERC for review to confirm or exclude MDS. This is particularly important as we do not want to exclude potentially eligible patients due to an incorrect diagnosis of MDS

Subject has CCS or NSTEMI with an LVEF ≤40% NOTE: The LVEF must be quantitatively measured as ≤40% by echo within 30 days assuming no change in clinical condition. If multiple echos have been performed within 30-days, the most recent test must be used to qualify the patient. NOTE: Subject qualifies if the quantitative site read LVEF is ≤30%; if the quantitative site read is \>30% - ≤40% the Echo Core Lab must confirm the LVEF is ≤40% before subject enrollment (Core Lab will provide \<48-hour turnaround). Similarly, if the site read is qualitative only (i.e., only provides broad ranges without detailed LVEF quantification), the Echo Core Lab must confirm the LVEF is ≤40% before subject enrollment. OR B. Subject has STEMI ≥24 hours and \<30 days after symptom onset with an LVEF ≤30% NOTE: In patients qualifying with recent STEMI, the LVEF must be demonstrated to be ≤30% by quantitative echocardiography after the primary PCI procedure (if performed) and within 72-hours prior to the planned randomization. If primary PCI was not performed, the qualifying echocardiogram will be the one taken during the index hospitalization closest to the index procedure. If the site read is qualitative only (i.e., only provides broad ranges without detailed LVEF quantification), the Echo Core Lab must confirm the LVEF is ≤30% before subject enrollment.
• Local heart team (interventional cardiologist and cardiac surgeon) has determined that PCI is indicated and is the most appropriate management for the patient
• Complex PCI will be performed: Either 4A or 4B must be met A. One of the following must be present: i.

Left main equivalent disease with both ostial LAD and ostial LCX having visually-assessed angiographic DS ≥80% \[or ≥40% if non-invasive evidence of ischemia on a localizing stress test or invasive evidence of ischemia (FFR ≤0.80 or iFR ≤0.89\] and requiring intervention in both branches OR iv. Intervention of the last remaining vessel (native coronary artery or bypass graft) OR B. Multivessel disease is present (visually-assessed angiographic DS ≥80% \[or ≥40% if non-invasive or invasive evidence of ischemia is present\] in ≥2 of the 3 epicardial coronary artery distributions in a main vessel or branch with visually-assessed reference vessel diameter ≥2.5 mm) and PCI is planned of at least 2 separate complex lesions in main vessels or branch vessels each having one or more of the following characteristics: i.

Non-left main bifurcation lesion requiring intervention in both the main branch and side branch v. CTO (TIMI 0 Flow) vi. Giant thrombus (length ≥3x vessel diameter) vii. SVG (other than focal (\<5 mm) disease of the proximal or distal anastomosis or in-stent restenosis) NOTES:
• The multiple lesions can be in the same vessel if separated by ≥10 mm - however, each separate lesion has to have one or more of the above characteristics
• PCI may be performed on additional non-qualifying lesions (i.e., without 1 or more of the above high-risk characteristics) as long as there are at least two lesions also undergoing PCI with each having 1 or more of the above characteristics)
• There are 2 exceptions to the rule that each separate lesion must have one or more of the above characteristics (as in Inclusion Criterion 4B above): The subject may qualify if undergoing complex PCI of a single lesion that has 2 or more of the above complex characteristics (as in Inclusion Criterion 4B above) if also: i. There is a CTO of a proximal or mid-LAD, proximal or mid-LCX or proximal, mid- or distal RCA (i.e., not a branch vessel) that will not be treated OR ii. The subject qualifies with recent STEMI with an LVEF ≤30% and the complex PCI is planned in a non-infarct vessel (i.e., a complex PCI in the infarct vessel does not qualify)

In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures outlined in the protocol, he/she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures

MYTHS - MYocarditis THerapy With Steroids (MYTHS)
Enrico Ammirati, MD, PhD - enrico.ammirati@ospedaleniguarda.it
NCT05150704
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients admitted to hospital for suspected AM
* Age 18 years or older and below 70 years (18-69 years)
* Acute HF with clinically suspected acute myocarditis based on an N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration of 1600 pg/mL or more or a B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration of 400 pg/mL or more;
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)\<41% and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LV-EDD)\<56 mm (parasternal long-axis view) on echocardiogram;
* Increased troponin (3x upper reference limit \[URL\]) at the time of randomization;
* Clinical onset of cardiac symptoms within 3 weeks from randomization;
* Excluded coronary artery disease by coronary angiogram in subjects ≥46 years of age, in case myocarditis is not histologically proven;
* Randomization within 120 hours from hospital admission.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Known systemic autoimmune disorder or other conditions at the time of randomization where immunosuppression is assumed useful. Patients in whom a systemic autoimmune disorder will be diagnosed during hospitalization will be included in the study if randomized, including patients with a diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis or giant cell myocarditis (GCM). Both patients included in the corticosteroids-treatment arm or in the placebo-treatment arm can receive the standard immunosuppressive therapy used in the center since the diagnosis of a systemic autoimmune disorder, or cardiac sarcoidosis or GCM;
* Patients already on oral/IV chronic corticosteroid therapy or other chronic immunosuppressive therapies (colchicine or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\] are not considered immunosuppressive drugs);
* Contraindication to corticosteroids, including allergies to this medication and its excipients;
* Patients with persistent peripheral eosinophilia (persistent Eosinophil count \>7% of the leukocytes) or known hypereosinophilic syndrome at the time of randomization. Patients in whom eosinophilic myocarditis will be diagnosed on endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) will be included in the study if already randomized. Both patients included in the corticosteroids-treatment arm or in the placebo-treatment arm can receive the standard immunosuppressive therapy used in the center since the diagnosis;
* Myocarditis associated with the ongoing administration of anti-cancer immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) agents;
* Previously known chronic cardiac disease (i.e., previous cardiomyopathy) that does NOT include previous myocarditis if there is a functional recovery at the time of screening);
* Evidence of active bacterial or fungal infectious disease (presence of fever or increased C-reactive protein are not considered exclusion criteria), or suspected bacterial/fungal infection associated with increased levels of procalcitonin (cut-off \>10 ng/mL), if the laboratory exam is available in the center;
* Known chronic infective disease, such as HIV infection or tuberculosis;
* out-of-hospital cardiac arrest;
* t-MCS instituted more than 48 hours before randomization;
* Patients clinically judged too sick to initiate t-MCS (i.e., irreversible multiorgan failure);
* Echocardiographic presence of images suggestive of other cardiac diseases (i.e. endocarditis)
* Participants involved in another clinical trial;
* Pregnant women (known pregnancy) or POSITIVE human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures (urine/blood) for women of 18-50 years of age.
* Any other significant disease with expected life expectancy \<12 months (i.e., evidence of irreversible severe brain injury) or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the trial, or may influence the result of the trial, or the participant's ability to participate in the trial.
