Flozins under the microscope: can they protect heart and kidneys in High-Risk patients?
NCT ID NCT07237451
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study follows 200 adults with chronic kidney disease and a type of heart failure (HFpEF), some taking SGLT2 inhibitors (flozins) and some not. Researchers will measure arterial stiffness, heart function, and kidney decline over time to see if flozins are linked to better outcomes. The goal is to gather real-world evidence, not to test a new treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SGLT2 inhibitors (flozins)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could clarify how SGLT2 inhibitors affect heart and kidney health in patients with chronic kidney disease and heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * age\>18 years; * ejection fraction \> 40; * patients with CKD stage 3-4 (eGFR between 15-60 mL/min/1.73m2), with iSGLT2 recommendation, diabetic and non-diabetic; * age, sex and CKD stage 3 and 4 matched patients without iSGLT2 administration. Exclusion Criteria: * eGFR\< 15 mL/min/1.73m2 or patients undergoing dialysis; * presence of congenital heart disease, decompensated cirrhosis, pregnancy and active malignancies; * coronary artery disease (including those with a history of acute coronary syndrome, angina pectoris, or prior coronary angiography or CT angiography demonstrating significant coronary artery lesions); * cardiac medical devices, namely metallic joint prostheses, cardiac stent or pacemakers; * active systemic infections (due to interference with biomarkers that can give false rise values).
