简要总结
This trial is a double-blind, randomised, parallel-group, multi-centre, Phase III clinical trial investigating the combined use of oral BI 690517 and empagliflozin compared with placebo and empagliflozin in participants with symptomatic HF and LVEF ≥40%.
The treatment period duration will be based on accrual of primary endpoint events.
Participants, investigators, and everyone involved in trial conduct or analysis, or with any other interest in this double-blind trial, will remain blinded with regard to the randomised treatment assignments until after database lock. Emergency unblinding will be available to the investigator via the IRT.
Overall sample size: approx. 6000*
Sample size for each group (n = 2 groups): approx. 3000 participants per group
