What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effects of sotagliflozin, a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, on patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to explore the potential cardio-renal benefits of sotagliflozin in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. The study includes ambulatory patients aged 18 and older who do not have diabetes and have stable heart failure symptoms. The trial will assess the drug's impact on heart failure-related outcomes and its mechanisms of action.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are ambulatory adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of heart failure (NYHA II to III) and preserved ejection fraction.

Not a fit: Patients with diabetes, acute coronary syndrome, or those recently hospitalized for heart failure may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with HFpEF, potentially improving their heart failure outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with sotagliflozin in related populations, suggesting potential for success in this novel application.
