GLP‑1 drugs in heart failure

Which incretin agents are being studied in heart failure, by whom, and when each trial is due to report. Conditions are grouped from the registry’s own wording, which records the same disease several ways.

No GLP‑1 or incretin drug is FDA-approved for heart failure. The trials below are studies, not approvals, and most drugs tested in a new condition never get approved for it.

No GLP-1 or incretin drug is approved for heart failure, so everything below is investigational. Most drugs tested in a new condition never reach approval for it, and a registration is not evidence of benefit. 14 of the 18 trials on file are phase 3 or later — the stage sized for a regulator to act on, against 4 still in early phases. 18 distinct sponsors are involved, 4 of the trials run commercially and the rest by universities and hospitals.
