NCT ID NCT06195930

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looked at whether people with chronic heart failure can safely start taking vericiguat at a 5 mg dose instead of the usual 2.5 mg. The goal is to reach the full 10 mg target dose more quickly. 106 participants took the 5 mg dose for 2 weeks, and researchers monitored side effects like low blood pressure and dizziness. The study was short and focused on safety, not long-term benefits.
