Can a once-daily pill ease the burden of a common heart failure?
NCT ID NCT07795814
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether EDG-15400, an oral drug taken once daily, can safely improve symptoms and heart function in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Participants receive either EDG-15400 or a placebo for a period of time, while researchers monitor side effects and measure changes in heart-related biomarkers. The study includes about 90 adults aged 30 to 85 with a confirmed HFpEF diagnosis and moderate symptoms. The goal is to see if this drug can become a new treatment option for this condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EDG-15400, an oral drug taken once daily
- What this could lead to
- If it works, EDG-15400 could offer a new daily treatment to reduce symptoms and improve heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 90 participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe in larger groups. Possible side effects are still being evaluated.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males and nonpregnant females, ages ≥30 to \<85 years of age at screening * Body weight ≥ 45 kg, BMI \< 40 * LVEF ≥ 50% * Diagnosed with Heart Failure per American Heart Association (AHA)/American College of Cardiology (ACC)/Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Guidelines for the Management of Heart Failure * New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II or III * If receiving Guideline-directed Medical Therapy, must be on stable doses * Participants receiving a GLP-1 agonist prior to Screening must have no anticipated plans to change dose during the study Exclusion Criteria: * Known diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) * Known or suspected infiltrative or storage disorder (e.g., Noonan syndrome, Fabry disease, amyloidosis) * Moderate or greater interstitial lung disease (ILD) or ILD requiring chronic supplemental O2 therapy * Severe or greater chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or COPD requiring chronic supplementary O2 therapy * Hospitalization for any reason within 60 days prior to Screening * History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, malignancy, active infection, other condition, or disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator or the Medical Monitor, would be an alternative explanation for heart failure symptoms (e.g., significant lung disease, anemia) and/or would pose a risk to patient safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion
