Comparing two medications for acute heart failure with fluid buildup
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if dapagliflozin or acetazolamide works better for people hospitalized with heart failure who have extra fluid in their body (congestion). The study will compare how well each medication helps remove fluid when used with standard IV diuretics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are hospitalized for acute heart failure with signs of fluid overload (like swelling in legs, trouble breathing when lying flat, or extra fluid seen on chest X-ray).
- Treatment starts within 24 hours of being in the hospital.
- You will be receiving IV diuretics (water pills) during this hospital stay.
- Your kidney function is good enough (eGFR at least 30, which means kidneys are working at about 30% or more of normal).

This trial tests different water pill (diuretic) strategies for people hospitalized with acute heart failure and too much fluid. It is designed for patients who may not respond well to standard water pills, to find a more effective way to relieve symptoms.
This study compares two medicines—acetazolamide and dapagliflozin—to see which works better at removing extra fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure. It may help decide the best treatment for fluid overload.
This trial tests if adding a diuretic (water pill) called acetazolamide to usual care can help you get rid of extra fluid faster while you are in the hospital for worsening heart failure.
This trial tests a combination of water pills (diuretics) to help remove extra fluid in people hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (sudden worsening of heart failure). It aims to find a safe and effective way to reduce swelling and fluid buildup.
This trial compares two different water pills (acetazolamide and metolazone) added to standard care for people hospitalized with acute heart failure who still have fluid buildup after an initial dose of IV furosemide. The goal is to see which works better to remove extra fluid.
This study tests whether adding acetazolamide or metolazone to standard treatment helps remove extra fluid better in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to find a safer and more effective option for managing fluid overload.
