Trial studying safety and effects for Heart Failure
Official title A Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Finerenone on Morbidity and Mortality Among Hospitalized Heart Failure Patients
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06008197
What this study is testing
What is Finerenone?
Finerenone is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for heart failure.
Also referred to as Kerendia, Firialta.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to see if finerenone can safely reduce illness and death in these patients.
- Who it's for
- Adults who are in the hospital for acute decompensated heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved left‑ventricle function.
- What's involved
- Participants will be randomly given finerenone or a placebo, along with standard care, and will have follow‑up visits and tests to check safety and outcomes.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
