NCT ID NCT06336330
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows over 800 heart failure patients in Germany who are starting dapagliflozin, a drug recently approved for heart failure. Researchers will track how long patients stay on the drug, any side effects, and changes in symptoms and quality of life. The goal is to understand how the drug works outside of clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dapagliflozin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show how well dapagliflozin works for heart failure in everyday practice, helping doctors better manage the condition.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors and may not apply to all patients.

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 HF since 14-90 day before entering the study will be eligible for enrolment by either primary or secondary care healthcare professionals from outpatient settings. All treatment decisions (i.e., dose and duration of treatment) will be at the discretion of the patient's healthcare provider. Patients may have discontinued from dapagliflozin prior to enrolment onto the study, as long as their dapagliflozin initiation was ≥14 days and ≤90 days prior to enrolment onto the study. Data on other parameters may be obtained at the date of initiation of dapagliflozin by extracting this information retrospectively from medical charts. Patients will only be enrolled after they have given consent to participate in the study. It is at the discretion of the physician whether or not to initiate patients on treatment with dapagliflozin and enrol them in the study.
