Heart failure drug study pulled before enrolling a single patient
NCT ID NCT06708611
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to compare two versions of the water pill torsemide (extended release vs immediate release) in adults with stable heart failure. Participants would have taken each version for a week, then had their sodium excretion measured after a single dose and a salty lunch. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are available.
