egnite Launches New Lp(a) Identification Capability to Accelerate Clinical Trial Enrollment

The expanded module in the CardioCare™ Research Suite helps health systems and research teams identify previously undetected Lp(a) patient populations at scale

Aliso Viejo, CA — June 11, 2026egnite, Inc., the cardiovascular intelligence company focused on helping physicians identify and manage patients with untreated heart disease, today announced a new Lp(a) patient identification capability within the CardioCare Research Suite. This module is designed to help health systems identify patients with elevated Lp(a) levels that may qualify for ongoing trials—closing care gaps and accelerating clinical trial enrollment. Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a genetically inherited cardiovascular risk factor affecting approximately 1 in 5 individuals worldwide, according to the American Heart Association.

Because of limitations in current technology and workflows, many patients with elevated Lp(a) are not identified by research teams and therefore may not be considered for clinical trials. Cardiologist evaluation is essential to ensure patients are assessed for appropriate care pathways, including commercially available options and clinical trial therapies.

Dr. Robert Fishberg, cardiologist at Morristown Medical Center, is one of the first users of the novel CardioCare technology for the Lp(a) FRONTIERS CAVS trial — a Phase 2 study evaluating whether lowering Lp(a) can slow the progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis. “I have been using egnite’s CardioCare platform to screen patients,” said Dr. Fishberg. “The platform allows us to identify patients across our health system with mild and moderate aortic stenosis and elevated Lp(a) levels far more efficiently than traditional workflows, creating meaningful opportunities to accelerate enrollment and reach patients who otherwise may not have been considered for this trial.”

In addition to identifying patients with elevated Lp(a) levels consistent with clinical trial inclusion criteria, CardioCare can help identify at-risk patients who have not been tested for Lp(a) at scale. Despite its prevalence and growing relevance in cardiovascular therapeutics, the majority of patients remain untested with fewer than 1% of adults receiving Lp(a) testing even among health systems with established lipid screening programs.

The CardioCare platform is trusted by more than 75 health systems and 800+ facilities to support patient identification and research across a range of conditions, including atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and valvular heart disease. The addition of the Lp(a) module further extends these capabilities, enabling organizations to advance their cardiovascular risk detection and clinical trial programs.

“The challenge with Lp(a) is not simply that patients are untreated — it’s that most programs cannot systematically find them,” said Kahla Verhoef, Chief Operating Officer at egnite. “CardioCare transforms fragmented cardiovascular data into actionable patient intelligence by identifying overlooked patients at scale and accelerating access to both care pathways and clinical research opportunities.”

The new module expands egnite’s growing CardioCare Research Suite and reflects the company’s broader strategy of helping cardiovascular programs and life sciences organizations operationalize real-world cardiovascular intelligence directly within care delivery workflows.

Cath Lab Capacity is Up—But Structural Heart Procedures Are Being Outpaced by Other Interventions

Heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for more than half of all heart failure cases and carries significant morbidity and mortality risk, especially after hospitalization1. Historically, management of the disease is largely focused on comorbidity management and lifestyle modifications, given that available therapies had not demonstrated sufficient impact on hospitalization burden or mortality. In recent years, however, the treatment paradigm for HFpEF has shifted, with a growing emphasis on SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Originally developed to lower blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, several clinical trials have firmly established that SGLT2i is also beneficial for patients living with HFpEF2.
