Heart failure drug trial ends early – only 4 patients enrolled

NCT ID NCT06581159

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This was a very early (Phase 1) study testing a drug called HS135 in obese patients who have both pulmonary hypertension and a type of heart failure called HFpEF. The trial was terminated after enrolling only 4 people, so we have no useful information on whether HS135 is safe or effective. The main goal was to check for side effects and measure how the drug moves through the body.

What this could mean

Active substance

HS135

What this could lead to

If it had worked, HS135 might have pointed toward a new treatment for obese patients with pulmonary hypertension and heart failure.

What could go wrong

This trial was terminated early with only 4 participants, so no conclusions can be drawn. It was a very early Phase 1 safety study, and the drug may not have been effective or safe.
