What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
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 10 MG Oral Tablet [Jardiance], or Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that the continuation of empagliflozin during decongestive therapy in the setting of acute decompensated and hospitalized heart failure patients is not inferior compared to therapy cessation during the acute heart failure hospitalization.
They plan to enroll about 536 people at 12 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
