SGLT2 inhibitor for acute heart and kidney failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor (which lowers blood sugar and helps the kidneys) can improve outcomes for people with acute heart failure and kidney problems. Participation involves taking the study drug or a placebo for a short time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure and are currently having symptoms of worsening heart failure.
- You are not on dialysis and do not have severe kidney disease (eGFR less than 25).
- You are able to take pills by mouth and follow the study schedule.
- You have not taken an SGLT2 inhibitor (like empagliflozin or dapagliflozin) in the last 72 hours.

This study tests whether SGLT2 inhibitors (a type of diabetes drug that also helps kidneys) can help patients with acute kidney disease. It may be an option if you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease along with acute kidney problems.
This study tests whether dapagliflozin can improve kidney and heart-related outcomes in people with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD). You would take the study medicine (or a comparison treatment) and be followed to see how your kidneys and heart do over time.
This study tests whether a medicine called an SGLT2 inhibitor (a type of diabetes drug also used for heart failure) affects the heart and blood vessels in people with kidney failure who are on dialysis. It will help doctors understand if this medicine is safe and helpful for dialysis patients.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether starting an SGLT2 inhibitor early in the hospital can improve outcomes for people at high risk after acute (sudden) heart failure. If you qualify, you would be randomized to receive the study medicine or standard care, started within 12 hours of admission.
This trial tests whether SGLT2 inhibitor drugs can protect kidney function in people with advanced chronic kidney disease who are not yet on dialysis. It may help slow further kidney decline.
This trial tests if dapagliflozin, a medication usually used for diabetes, can help people with acute heart failure recover heart function. If you are in the hospital for heart failure, this study will check if the drug improves how your heart squeezes.
