Old gout drug gets new shot at fighting Veterans' heart failure
NCT ID NCT04551222
Summary
This study tested whether probenecid, a long-used gout medication, could help veterans with a common type of heart failure. Researchers gave 99 veterans either the drug or a placebo pill twice daily for six months to see if it improved their heart's pumping ability, exercise capacity, and daily life. The goal was to see if this safe, existing drug could be repurposed to better control heart failure.
