EASi-HF reduced – A Phase III double-blind, randomised, parallel-group superiority trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of the combined use of oral vicadrostat (BI 690517) and empagliflozin compared with placebo and empagliflozin in participants with symptomatic chronic heart failure (HF: NYHA II-IV) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 40 percent

简要总结
Regardless of recent treatment advances in the management of HF, the residual risk for cardiovascular death, hospitalisation for heart failure and impaired quality of life remains substantial in patients with HF, which is applicable also to patients with LVEF less than 40 percent. The combination of vicadrostat and empagliflozin may achieve an additive or synergistic beneficial effect on HF outcomes. Therefore, the aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the combined use of vicadrostat and empagliflozin compared with placebo and empagliflozin in participants with symptomatic heart failure (HF: NYHA II-IV) and LVEF less than 40 percent.
