NCT ID NCT04384653

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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a new way to give the heart failure drug furosemide: as a shot under the skin instead of through an IV. Twenty adults with chronic heart failure received both versions to compare how much drug gets into the body. The goal is to see if the shot works well enough to offer a simpler, more convenient option for patients.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
furosemide
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a more convenient way to give furosemide to heart failure patients, potentially allowing treatment at home instead of in a hospital.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 20 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The new shot is not expected to work exactly like the IV version, and it may not be as effective or could cause skin reactions.

Exclusion Criteria: * Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) or recent history of hospitalization for heart failure in the last 4 weeks. * Worsening of signs or symptoms of heart failure in the two weeks prior to the Screening, or those expected to require IV loop diuretics or inpatient treatment for heart failure during the study. * Systolic blood pressure (SBP) \<90 mmHg. * Temperature ≥38°C (oral or equivalent) or sepsis or active infection requiring IV anti-microbial treatment. * Serum sodium \<130 mEq/L and serum potassium \<3.5 mEq/L. * Significant other cardiac abnormalities which may interfere with study participation or study assessments. * Current or planned treatment during the study with any IV therapies, including inotropic agents, vasopressors, levosimendan, nesiritide or analogues; or mechanical support (intraaortic balloon pump, endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, or any ventricular assist device). * Subject is cachectic. * Diagnosed with Type I diabetes mellitus or Type II diabetes requiring insulin therapy. * Presence or need for urinary catheterization, urinary tract abnormality, or disorder interfering with urination. * Impaired renal function, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on admission \<45 mL/min/1.73m2, calculated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (sMDRD) equation. * Indication of moderate-to-severe hepatic dysfunctions as determined by the Investigator. * Administration of IV radiographic contrast agent within 72 hours prior to Screening or acute contrast-induced nephropathy at the time of Screening. * Major surgery within 30 days prior to Screening. * Administration of an investigational drug or implantation of investigational device, or participation in another interventional trial, within 30 days prior to Screening. * Any surgical or medical condition, which in the opinion of the Investigator may pose an undue risk to the subject, interfere with participation in the study, or which may affect the integrity of the study data. * Positive test for hepatitis B (HBsAg), hepatitis C (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at Screening. * Any positive urine drug screen at Screening or clinic admission. * Concomitant use of any drugs known to interact with furosemide. * History of alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to Screening and/or signs or symptoms of alcoholism, as determined by the Investigator. * Any positive alcohol test on admission to the CRU. * History of severe allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to furosemide. * Donation of greater than 100 mL of either whole blood or plasma within 30 days prior to study drug administration. * Been informed of possible COVID-19 exposure in past 4 weeks, or recent onset of signs or symptoms of possible COVID-19 infection, including cough, shortness of breath, or temperature ≥ 38°C . * Traveled via airplane or cruiseship within the last 14 days.
