Heart drug dobutamine put to the test in rare amyloid heart disease

NCT ID NCT06318260

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is studying how the drug dobutamine affects the heart in 15 people with a rare condition called wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt). Participants will receive increasing doses of dobutamine while doctors measure heart function using ultrasound and a catheter. The goal is to see how the drug changes blood flow and heart pressures, and to check for side effects.
