Could a diabetes drug help heart failure patients after valve surgery?
NCT ID NCT05672836
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a drug called enavogliflozin can prevent major heart problems or worsening heart failure in people who have had a heart valve replacement (TAVR) and still have heart failure. About 1,040 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo, in addition to standard care. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces the chance of death, heart attack, stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Enavogliflozin (a drug that helps the kidneys remove sugar from the blood, also used for diabetes)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new treatment option to reduce heart failure hospitalizations and major heart problems in patients who have had a valve replacement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 4 trial, so the drug is already approved for diabetes, but its benefit in this specific heart condition is unproven. The trial may show no advantage over placebo, and side effects like dehydration or infections are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: 1\. Patients aged ≥19 with symptomatic aortic stenosis who underwent successful transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)\* (either native valve or valve in valve with any approved/marketed device). \* A successful TAVI is defined as device success according to the VARC-2(Valve Academic Research Consortium 2) and VARC-3 criteria: 1. correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location AND 2. intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve (mean aortic valve gradient \<20 mmHg, peak velocity \<3 m/s, no moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation) AND 3. absence of periprocedural complications (any type of stroke, life-threatening bleeding, acute coronary artery obstruction requiring intervention, major vascular complication requiring intervention, unresolved acute valve thrombosis, or any requirement of a repeat procedure). 2\. Heart Failure with Mildly Reduced or Preserved Ejection Fraction 1. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40% 2. structural heart disease\_Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or Left atrial enlargement A. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with septal thickness or posterior wall thickness ≥ 1.1 cm or B. Left atrial (LA) enlargement with at least one of the following: LA width (diameter) ≥3.8 cm or LA length ≥ 5.0 cm, or LA area ≥ 20cm2, or LA volume ≥ 55mL or LA volume index ≥ 29mL/m. 3. NT-proBNP ≥ 300 pg/mL (for patients without ongoing atrial fibrillation) or NT-proBNP must be ≥ 600 pg/mL (for patients with ongoing atrial fibrillation). 3\. Patients who voluntarily participated in the written agreement Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acute decompensated Heart Failure (exacerbation of chronic Heart Failure) requiring intravenous diuretics, vasodilators, inotropic agents, or mechanical support, or hemodynamic instability following the transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure. 2. Currently receiving therapy with an SGLT2 inhibitor within 4 weeks prior to randomization; discontinuation of current use of SGLT2 inhibitor for the purposes of study enrolment is not permitted. 3. Known allergy, hypersensitivity, or previous intolerance to an SGLT2 inhibitors. 4. HF with reduced ejection fraction (LVEF \<40%). 5. Type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetes ketoacidosis. 6. Chronic cystitis and/or recurrent urinary tract infection (≥2 times within 1 year). 7. Stroke or transient ischemic attack within 12 weeks prior to enrollment. 8. Symptomatic persistent hypotension and/or a systolic blood pressure (SBP) \< 95 mm Hg at screening or at randomization. 9. SBP ≥180 mmHg irrespective of treatment or SBP ≥160 mmHg with at least ≥3 antihypertensive drugs at screening or randomization. 10. Heart failure due to any of the following causes; known infiltrative cardiomyopathy (e.g. amyloid, sarcoid, lymphoma, endomyocardial fibrosis, haemochromatosis, Fabry disease), active myocarditis, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, known hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVD), or uncorrected primary valvular disease. 11. Severe renal insufficiency (eGFR \<30 ml/min/1.73 m2 of body-surface area based on the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula) or end-stage renal disease or requiring dialysis at the time of screening. 12. Acute or chronic liver disease with severe impairment of liver function (e.g., ascites, esophageal varices, coagulopathy) or serum levels of transminases or alkaline phosphatase more than two times the upper limit of normal at screening. 13. Chronic pulmonary disease requiring home oxygen, oral steroid therapy or hospitalization for exacerbation within 12 months, or significant chronic pulmonary disease in the Investigator's opinion, or primary pulmonary arterial hypertension. 14. Current or suspicious malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years 15. Uncontrolled anaemia or haemoglobin \<9g/dl 16. Uncontrolled hypothyroidism or arrhythmia or tachycardia 17. Current ongoing alcoholic or drug addict 18. Subjects with non-cardiac co-morbidities with life expectancy less than 12 months 19. Planned major high-risk operation after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) 20. Women of childbearing age who have not reached a consensus on the use of highly effective contraception. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 21. Participation in other clinical trials, However, where at least one or more conditions are satisfied, it could be an exception according to an investigator's discretion; * Participating in the observational study expected no effect on the safety and/or effectiveness evaluation of this trial. * Screening failed before any interventional factor is involved. * Participants who have completed their involvement in clinical trials and have surpassed a 4-week period since their last administration of the investigational drug. * Participated in academic trials like strategic or medical device comparison studies conducted under standard therapy provided that there is no additional risk or a specific procedure to a subject and no interference between this trial and other studies.
