Recruiting PHASE4 Heart Failure

New treatment option for Heart Failure

Official title Unmitigated Aldosterone Signaling During Standard Clinical MRA Dosing

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07281014

What this study is testing

What is Spironolactone 25mg?

Spironolactone 25mg is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for heart failure.

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
The purpose of this research study is to understand the biology related to the potential shortcomings of existing anti-aldosterone therapy.
  • Phase 4: studies an already-approved treatment
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.

  • Stable heart failure medications without need or expectation for changes during the 8-week study period
  • Free from heart failure decompensation for the preceding 60 day

You likely can't join if

  • Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP \> 160 mmHg)
  • Severe bladder dysfunction
  • Current MRA dose \> 50mg spironolactone or equivalent or non MRA potassium sparing diuretic such as amiloride
  • Contraindication to initiation or withdrawal of spironolactone per study procedures

  • Stable heart failure medications without need or expectation for changes during the 8-week study period
  • Free from heart failure decompensation for the preceding 60 day
  • Systolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg if not taking an MRA at screening. If patients are already taking an MRA at the time of screening a systolic blood pressure needs to be \>80 mmHg.
What rules you out
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP \> 160 mmHg)
  • Severe bladder dysfunction
  • Current MRA dose \> 50mg spironolactone or equivalent or non MRA potassium sparing diuretic such as amiloride
  • Contraindication to initiation or withdrawal of spironolactone per study procedures
  • History of severe hyperkalemia (K\>6.0 meq/l)
  • Brittle volume sensitive heart failure, recurrent flash pulmonary edema, restrictive cardiomyopathy or other pathology that would make aldosterone infusion high risk
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Women of childbearing potential that are not receiving a highly effective form of contraception. Females of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of birth control until 14 days after the...
  • Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral, intravaginal, or transdermal
  • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral, injectable, or implantable
  • Intrauterine device (IUD)
  • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
  • Bilateral tubal occlusion
  • Vasectomized partner
