Enavogliflozin to reduce AF coming back after catheter ablation
Official title: ENavogliflozin And preVention Of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation With Heart Failure (ENAVO-AF): Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Double-blind Clinical Trial
Run by Yonsei University · NCT06528262 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This will test whether taking the SGLT2 inhibitor enavogliflozin for about a year helps people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure who have had catheter ablation have fewer AF recurrences than a placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 19 to under 85 with atrial fibrillation and heart failure who are scheduled for or within three months after AF catheter ablation, can attend follow-up at the study center, have adequate kidney function (eGFR ≥ 60) and are not currently using an SGLT2 inhibitor are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant renal impairment (eGFR < 60), recent acute cardiovascular events, severe valvular disease or artificial valves, current SGLT2 inhibitor treatment, pregnancy, or those outside the age range are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolling about 390 patients who have atrial fibrillation and heart failure and are undergoing or recently underwent catheter ablation. Participants will be assigned to enavogliflozin 0.3 mg once daily or matching placebo for approximately 360 days with regular follow-up visits. Standard 12-lead ECGs will be done at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and wearable ECG patch monitoring (8–14 days) at 3, 6, and 12 months to measure AF recurrence and AF burden. The main comparisons are AF recurrence between months 3 and 12 and overall AF burden up to one year after ablation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lower the rate of AF coming back after ablation and reduce AF burden, symptoms, and related healthcare visits.
How similar studies have gone: SGLT2 inhibitors have shown benefits in heart failure and some observational links to lower AF incidence, but randomized evidence specifically showing prevention of AF recurrence after ablation is limited.
