Massive claims study aims to validate Real-World evidence for heart failure drugs
NCT ID NCT07599293
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study uses healthcare claims data from nearly 40,000 people to see if the results of a major clinical trial (EMPEROR-Preserved) can be reproduced in a real-world setting. Researchers are comparing two diabetes drugs, empagliflozin and sitagliptin, in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and type 2 diabetes. The goal is to learn when real-world data can be trusted to answer clinical questions.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Empagliflozin and sitagliptin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that analyzing real-world data can reliably replace or supplement traditional clinical trials for certain questions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled experiment, so results may be biased or not match the original trial. It cannot prove cause and effect.
