NCT ID NCT05635331
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study in Greece observed 257 adults with heart failure who were prescribed dapagliflozin as part of their routine care. Researchers tracked how long patients stayed on the drug, any changes in their other heart medications, and how their quality of life changed over time. The goal was to understand how this approved medication works in everyday practice, outside of a controlled clinical trial.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients who have received treatment with dapagliflozin for Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction will be eligible for enrolment by physicians from outpatient and inpatient settings. Eligible patients will be selected after they have been identified in paper or electronic medical records by the participating investigator. Consecutive patients prescribed dapagliflozin should be identified by the investigator and, unless failing to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, should be invited to participate. Patients will only be enrolled after they have given consent to participate in the study. In all cases, the decision to treat a patient with dapagliflozin must be made prior to the decision to enroll the patient into the study. To help ensure this, at least 14 days must have elapsed (but no more than 60 days) from the date of initiation of dapagliflozin before a patient can be enrolled.
