Testing a second diuretic for heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a second type of diuretic (water pill) can help people with heart failure who don't respond well to their current diuretic. It aims to find better ways to manage fluid buildup.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are resistant to a specific water pill called bumetanide, based on a test.
- Your kidney function is above a certain level (eGFR over 20).

This Phase 1 study looks at why “water pills” (diuretics) like bumetanide may not remove fluid as expected in people with heart failure. The results may help clinicians improve treatment strategies for fluid control in the future.
This Phase 1 study looks at why “water pills” sometimes stop relieving fluid overload in people with heart failure. It may help researchers understand the causes of diuretic resistance and improve future treatment for fluid management.
This trial tests if using urine sodium levels to guide diuretic (water pill) dosing during hospital care for worsening heart failure can improve outcomes. The goal is to help doctors adjust treatment more effectively to clear extra fluid from the body.
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
This trial uses a simple urine test to see if your current water pill dose is right for you. The goal is to find the best dose to reduce symptoms and avoid hospital visits.
This trial tests a combination of two medicines—a salt solution and a water pill—given in an outpatient clinic to see if it helps people with both heart and kidney problems feel better and manage fluid buildup.
