Bladder drug may tame deadly heart rhythms in small trial
NCT ID NCT07566208
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether mirabegron, a drug typically used for overactive bladder, can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with heart disease. Twenty adults with an implanted defibrillator and frequent ventricular tachycardia will take the drug for two months. Researchers will compare heart rhythm recordings before and after treatment to see if the drug lowers the number of episodes.

Inclusion Criteria: * In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all the following criteria: 1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form. 2. Age \> 18 years old. 3. Documented VT on ICD. 1. with \> 2 episodes of VT per month (on average) over the past 2 months. 2. despite guideline-recommended medical therapy (GRMT). Exclusion Criteria: * An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Patients who are pacemaker-dependent because the pacing artifacts will complicate skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) analysis. 2. Clinically unstable (for example, acute myocardial infarction, decompensated heart failure, undergoing cancer chemotherapy, and other acute illness requiring hospitalization) 3. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥180 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mm Hg, or both)25 4. Active thyrotoxicosis 5. Any experimental medication concomitantly or within 4 weeks of participation in the study 6. Currently participating in a different clinical trial 7. Severe renal impairment (CrCl \< 30 ml/min) 8.
