Heart failure patients get Dual-Drug hope
NCT ID NCT06520891
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether taking a statin (atorvastatin) together with an SGLT2 inhibitor (dapagliflozin) helps people with ischemic heart failure. Researchers will measure cholesterol levels and other lab tests in 90 participants. The goal is to see if the combination works better than either drug alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- atorvastatin (statin) and dapagliflozin (SGLT2i)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that taking both drugs together helps manage cholesterol and heart health better than either alone.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The trial focuses on lab tests, not long-term outcomes like survival.

Who is studied
the health care provider asks about patient's symptoms which may experience: * Chest pain, especially after physical exertion * Dizziness or fainting * Heart palpitations, which may feel like your heart fluttering or skipping beats * Shortness of breath * Swelling in your feet or ankles * brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) with 70% sensitivity and 99% specificity and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) with 99% sensitivity and 85% specificity which are Other HF-specific laboratory tests (especially in patients with a high possibility of heart failure) included. (18) * chest X-ray, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), computerized tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also other diagnostic tests for HF. (19)
