What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looks at whether starting the drug dapagliflozin within 24 hours of arriving at the emergency room is practical for elderly patients (75+) with acute heart failure. It will involve 144 patients across 6 hospitals, comparing early drug treatment plus a nurse phone call to standard care alone. The main goal is to see if the process works smoothly, not yet to measure health benefits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
dapagliflozin (a type of SGLT2 inhibitor drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that starting dapagliflozin early in the emergency room is practical for elderly heart failure patients, potentially leading to better outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not prove that early treatment improves health, and results may not apply to all patients.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 144 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
