New pill aims to ease swelling for heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT05615363
Summary
This study tested whether a new oral drug called OPC-131461 could help reduce excess fluid and swelling in people with congestive heart failure. It involved 157 hospitalized patients who were already taking standard water pills but still had fluid overload. Researchers compared four different doses of the drug against a placebo to see which was most effective at reducing body weight and improving swelling in the legs and lungs over 8 to 15 days.
