  • metolazone/no spironolactoneDrug

    metolazone (add 2.5mg qod)

  • furosemid/spironolactoneDrug

    furosemide (doubling previous furosemide dose)+spironolactone (doubling previous spironolactone dose or add 12.5mg BID if previous non-user)

  • metolazone/spironolactoneDrug

    metolazone (add 2.5mg qod)+ spironolactone (doubling previous spironolactone dose or add 12.5mg BID if previous non-user)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. efficacy and safety of diuretics add-on strategy

    1. body weight change, symptoms \& signs change, systemic impedance change 2) serum \& urine creatinine change, serum \& urine electrolyte change, biomarkers change, clinical outcomes ( all-cause mortality, all-cause rehospitalization, start of renal replacement therapy)

    Measured: D+0, D+7, D+30, D+90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing furosemide/no spironolactone, metolazone/no spironolactone and furosemid/spironolactone in people with Congestive Heart Failure, run by Yonsei University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

efficacy and safety of diuretics add-on strategy (time frame: D+0, D+7, D+30, D+90). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2014.
