NCT ID NCT06600178

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a drug called Brezavvy (an SGLT2 inhibitor) can improve blood flow in the tiny vessels of the heart and reduce chest pain in women who have angina but no blocked major arteries. 150 women will take either the drug or a placebo for 12 weeks and undergo heart scans and questionnaires. The goal is to see if this treatment can help manage a condition that often goes undiagnosed.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for women with chest pain caused by small heart vessel problems, improving their quality of life.
