New treatment option for Fluid Overload
Official title Controlled Fluid Removal in Critical Ill Patients With Fluid Overload in the Intensive Care Unit.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04180397
What this study is testing
What is Furosemide?
Furosemide is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for fluid overload.
Also referred to as Furix.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
