NCT ID NCT06269484

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether a combination of two drugs, zibotentan and dapagliflozin, is safe for people with cirrhosis, a serious liver condition. 73 adults with cirrhosis took part, receiving either the drug combo, zibotentan alone, or a placebo. The main goal was to check for side effects like fluid retention, which can worsen cirrhosis.
