A Study to Test Whether Vicadrostat in Combination With Empagliflozin Helps People With Heart Failure

Testing if BI 690517 plus Empagliflozin benefits heart failure patients.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 3

This study is for adults 18 years or older with heart failure, a condition where the heart can't pump blood well. Participants need to have a heart function measure, called the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), of 40% or more. The study tests if a drug combination, BI 690517 and empagliflozin, helps with heart failure.

Participants are randomly placed into two groups:

  • BI 690517 and empagliflozin group: take both drugs daily.
  • Placebo and empagliflozin group: take a placebo (inactive pill) and empagliflozin daily.

Participants stay in the study as long as it benefits them. Regular check-ups with doctors and health monitoring will occur. There is no set end date for the study. It continues until enough data is collected.

  • Key Point 1: Open to adults with heart failure and LVEF of 40% or more.
  • Key Point 2: No fixed study duration; individual participation depends on treatment benefit.
  • Key Point 3: Participants receive regular health check-ups and may be contacted by phone.
