First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 2 study tests an injectable drug called HRS9531 in 203 obese adults with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 52 weeks. The main goals are to see if the drug helps with weight loss and improves heart-related quality of life.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option that helps obese people with heart failure lose weight and feel better day-to-day.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 203 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not improve heart failure outcomes or could cause side effects.
