Walgreens has announced a partnership with the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) for the PREVUE-VALVE population-based clinical trial.

Aimed at quantifying the prevalence of valvular heart disease (VHD) among older people in the US, the study will pave way for new therapies and tools development for detection and diagnosis of valvular heart disease (VHD).

The partnership between Walgreens and CRF is expected to strengthen participant recruitment efforts for maximising diversity and access in the ongoing trial.

Leveraging its national presence, relationships with communities and data-driven clinical trials solutions, Walgreens will help identify and reach potential participants for the study.

CRF Clinical and Outcomes Research director David Cohen said: “The ageing population has led to a surge in the incidence and prevalence of valvular heart disease in the US. Unfortunately, many patients with valvular heart disease remain untreated or receive treatment later than recommended due to various barriers.

“Partnering with Walgreens will help us engage a broader and more representative patient population for enrolment in the PREVUE-VALVE study so that we can improve our ability to diagnose valvular heart disease before the onset of irreversible cardiac damage, which will allow for more timely treatment and ultimately, better health outcomes, for our patients.”
