NCT ID NCT04680026
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a single 30-minute IV infusion of HBI 3000 in 150 adults with atrial fibrillation that started within the last 3 days. The goal is to safely convert the heart back to normal rhythm. The trial first finds the best dose, then compares it to a placebo in a blinded fashion.
