The majority of cardiovascular randomized controlled trials (RCTs) test interventions in selected patient populations under explicitly protocol-defined settings. Although these ‘explanatory’ trial designs optimize conditions to test the efficacy and safety of an intervention, they limit the generalizability of trial findings in broader clinical settings. The concept of ‘pragmatism’ in RCTs addresses this concern by providing counterbalance to the more idealized situation underpinning explanatory RCTs and optimizing effectiveness over efficacy. The central tenets of pragmatism in RCTs are to test interventions in routine clinical settings, with patients who are representative of broad clinical practice, and to reduce the burden on investigators and participants by minimizing the number of trial visits and the intensity of trial-based testing. Pragmatic evaluation of interventions is particularly important in cardiovascular diseases, where the risk of death among patients has remained fairly stable over the past few decades despite the development of new therapeutic interventions. Pragmatic RCTs can help to reveal the ‘real-world’ effectiveness of therapeutic interventions and elucidate barriers to their implementation. In this Review, we discuss the attributes of pragmatism in RCT design, conduct and interpretation as well as the general need for increased pragmatism in cardiovascular RCTs. We also summarize current challenges and potential solutions to the implementation of pragmatism in RCTs and highlight selected ongoing and completed cardiovascular RCTs with pragmatic trial designs.

心血管临床试验需要增加实用主义

大多数心血管随机对照试验 (RCT) 在明确的方案定义设置下对选定的患者群体进行干预测试。尽管这些“解释性”试验设计优化了条件以测试干预的有效性和安全性,但它们限制了试验结果在更广泛的临床环境中的普遍性。RCT 中的“实用主义”概念通过平衡解释性 RCT 的更理想化情况并优化有效性而不是功效来解决这一问题。RCT 中实用主义的核心原则是在常规临床环境中测试干预措施,患者代表广泛的临床实践,并通过最大限度地减少试验访问次数和基于试验的测试强度来减轻研究人员和参与者的负担. 干预措施的务实评估在心血管疾病中尤为重要,尽管开发了新的治疗干预措施,但在过去几十年中,患者的死亡风险保持相当稳定。务实的 RCT 可以帮助揭示治疗干预的“真实世界”有效性,并阐明其实施的障碍。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 RCT 设计、实施和解释中实用主义的属性,以及心血管 RCT 中增加实用主义的普遍需要。我们还总结了在 RCT 中实施实用主义的当前挑战和潜在解决方案,并强调了具有实用试验设计的选定正在进行和已完成的心血管 RCT。尽管开发了新的治疗干预措施,但在过去几十年中,患者的死亡风险仍然相当稳定。务实的 RCT 可以帮助揭示治疗干预的“真实世界”有效性,并阐明其实施的障碍。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 RCT 设计、实施和解释中实用主义的属性,以及心血管 RCT 中增加实用主义的普遍需要。我们还总结了在 RCT 中实施实用主义的当前挑战和潜在解决方案,并强调了具有实用试验设计的选定正在进行和已完成的心血管 RCT。尽管开发了新的治疗干预措施,但在过去几十年中,患者的死亡风险仍然相当稳定。务实的 RCT 可以帮助揭示治疗干预的“真实世界”有效性,并阐明其实施的障碍。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 RCT 设计、实施和解释中实用主义的属性,以及心血管 RCT 中增加实用主义的普遍需要。我们还总结了在 RCT 中实施实用主义的当前挑战和潜在解决方案,并强调了具有实用试验设计的选定正在进行和已完成的心血管 RCT。务实的 RCT 可以帮助揭示治疗干预的“真实世界”有效性,并阐明其实施的障碍。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 RCT 设计、实施和解释中实用主义的属性,以及心血管 RCT 中增加实用主义的普遍需要。我们还总结了在 RCT 中实施实用主义的当前挑战和潜在解决方案,并强调了具有实用试验设计的选定正在进行和已完成的心血管 RCT。务实的 RCT 可以帮助揭示治疗干预的“真实世界”有效性,并阐明其实施的障碍。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 RCT 设计、实施和解释中实用主义的属性,以及心血管 RCT 中增加实用主义的普遍需要。我们还总结了在 RCT 中实施实用主义的当前挑战和潜在解决方案,并强调了具有实用试验设计的选定正在进行和已完成的心血管 RCT。
