Incretin drugs for heart failure with obesity
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether incretin-based diabetes medications (like GLP-1 drugs) can help people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF that is linked to obesity. The goal is to see if these drugs improve heart function and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)—meaning your heart's pumping strength is normal but it doesn't relax well
- Heart failure symptoms that are mild to moderate (able to do some activities but limited by shortness of breath or fatigue)
- Overweight or obese (BMI of 30 or higher)
- Blood tests or heart imaging showing signs of heart stress or structural changes
- Stable heart failure medications for at least 4 weeks before joining
- No heart attack, stroke, or worsening heart failure in the past 3 months

This study is testing whether a new class of medications, known as GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists, can help improve symptoms and heart health in people who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and are overweight or obese. It is a registry that tracks participants' health over time to learn about the treatment's effects.
This trial tests whether pioglitazone (a diabetes medicine) helps people who have type 2 diabetes and a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally. It may improve heart failure symptoms and function in carefully selected patients.
This study tests whether tirzepatide, a medication that helps with weight loss and blood sugar control, can improve the heart rhythm condition atrial fibrillation. If you have AFib and are overweight or obese, this trial may be an option for you.
This study tests whether a new medication called NNC0487-0111 can help people with heart failure who also have obesity. Researchers will compare it to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it improves heart function and overall health.
This trial tests if tirzepatide, a diabetes and weight loss medication, can help improve fatty liver disease in people who are overweight or have obesity. It may offer a new treatment option for managing liver health.
This trial tests if dapagliflozin helps reduce fat around the heart in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. It might improve symptoms and overall health.
