Oral ketones for heart failure and diabetes
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a special oral ketone supplement can help people with both heart failure and diabetes. It looks at both short-term and long-term effects on heart function and blood sugar control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests how combining a ketone supplement with certain diabetes medicines affects blood sugar and ketone levels. It may help adults with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin or certain other drugs.
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
This early study looks at people with type 2 diabetes and certain types of heart failure to see whether changes in “ketones” relate to heart benefits. It may help researchers understand who could benefit most from treatment-related metabolism changes.
This clinical trial looks at whether adding a special diet supplement (ketones) to an SGLT2 inhibitor diabetes drug improves heart function and symptoms in people who have both type 2 diabetes and heart failure with a weakened heart muscle.
This trial tests whether a ketone supplement can improve heart function and exercise ability in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you feel better during daily activities.
This trial tests if a ketone supplement can help people hospitalized for acute heart failure. The supplement is given orally and aims to support the heart and energy levels during recovery.
