Heart failure drug combo may improve valve function
NCT ID NCT07379788
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study in 180 heart failure patients compared the effects of taking Entresto alone versus Entresto plus a second drug (empagliflozin) on mitral valve function and heart pumping ability. Participants had heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and some degree of functional mitral regurgitation. The study measured changes in heart structure and function using echocardiography.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sacubitril/Valsartan (Entresto) and Empagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that adding an SGLT2 inhibitor to standard ARNI therapy improves heart valve function and heart pumping ability in people with heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with no phase designation, so results may not be definitive or widely applicable. The outcomes are imaging-based measures, not long-term clinical benefits like survival or hospitalizations.
