Heart failure nasal spray trial pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT07375212
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if a single dose of bumetanide given as a nasal spray could quickly lower blood pressure in the lungs and reduce blood volume in people with heart failure. Participants would have had a heart monitor implanted. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bumetanide (intranasal)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a convenient, non-injectable way to manage fluid overload in heart failure patients at home.
- What could go wrong
- This trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no data exist. Even if run, it was a small pilot study with a single dose, so results would be very preliminary and may not lead to a practical treatment.
