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

Summary

This study tests whether a diabetes drug called dapagliflozin can help people with heart failure who also develop kidney injury recover faster. About 30 adults will take the drug or usual care for three days. The main goal is to see if a larger trial is possible, not to prove the drug works.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to help people with heart failure and kidney injury recover faster.
