NCT ID NCT06092437

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether using urine sodium levels to adjust diuretic doses helps people with acute heart failure recover faster and live longer. About 556 adults hospitalized with acute heart failure will receive either standard care or a tailored diuretic plan. The goal is to see if this approach reduces deaths, heart failure events, and improves quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
loop diuretics (furosemide) and other diuretics (thiazide, MRA, acetazolamide)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a more effective way to treat fluid buildup in acute heart failure, potentially reducing deaths and hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-sized trial testing a treatment algorithm, not a new drug. The approach may not improve outcomes or could cause kidney issues. Results are not guaranteed.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 556 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Feb 2023

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age \> 18 years; * HF (HFrEF, HFmrEF or HFpEF) diagnosed according to the 2021 HF Guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology \[5\]; * Presentation with AHF meaning at least one symptom (dyspnea, orthopnea, or edema) and one sign (rales, peripheral edema, ascites, or pulmonary vascular congestion on chest radiography) of AHF; * An elevated NT-proBNP \>300pg/ml; * Requiring the need for iv diuretics. Exclusion Criteria: * Terminal renal insufficiency defined as: dialysis patients or eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) \< 10 mL/min/1.73 m2; * Patients included in other investigational studies regarding heart failure. * Presentation with cardiogenic shock or respiratory insufficiency or another reason requiring admission to the intensive care unit upon admission (IC transfer later in the hospitalization is not an exclusion).
