Merck (NYSE: MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, today announced results evaluating VERQUVO® (vericiguat) in adult patients with stable chronic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The Phase 3 VICTOR trial comparing the efficacy of VERQUVO to placebo in patients with HFrEF without a recent worsening heart failure event treated with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) did not reach statistical significance for its primary endpoint of combined time to first event of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure.

Results from both analyses were presented today at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025 in a Hot Line session and simultaneously published in The Lancet.
