Phase 2: testing Empagliflozin for Pulmonary Hypertension

The primary objective of the CRAVE feasibility trial is to assess the feasibility of conducting a larger CRAVE platform trial by performing a randomly assigned trial of 30 participants with pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction, comparing empagliflozin or ranolazine plus standard of care to standard of care alone.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06570473 · University of Alberta · enrollment listed as 30

What this phase means

Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Empagliflozin, or Ranolazine. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The primary objective of the CRAVE feasibility trial is to assess the feasibility of conducting a larger CRAVE platform trial by performing a randomly assigned trial of 30 participants with pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction, comparing empagliflozin or ranolazine plus standard of care to standard of care alone.

They plan to enroll about 30 people at 5 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
