Heart failure drug vericiguat faces new test in tricuspid regurgitation patients
NCT ID NCT07668739
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the drug vericiguat can improve right heart function and reduce tricuspid regurgitation in 100 adults with heart failure and reduced pumping ability. Participants take vericiguat daily for 9 months, with regular heart scans and walking tests to measure effects. The goal is to see if it lowers hospitalizations 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
- vericiguat
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for heart failure patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation, potentially reducing hospitalizations and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small phase 4 trial (100 participants) testing a drug already approved for heart failure, so the added benefit for this specific condition may be modest or not confirmed.
