About The Clinical Research Studies
Clinical studies add to medical knowledge by allowing researchers to determine whether investigational medications are safe and effective for patients with different medical conditions. These studies are carefully put together and the safety of the studies participants is always the main concern of everyone involved.
The PERSPECTIVE Study
Eligible participants in the PERSPECTIVE clinical research study will take an active drug pill and a placebo pill (contains no active medication). The main purpose of this study is to test the investigational study medication compared to the comparison medication in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, to see if it has an effect on various mental abilities such as thinking and memory.
Participation in the study will be approximately three years, with visits to see your steady doctor and telephone calls.
Results from this research study are expected to provide information that could help heart failure patients in the future.
The Study Medication
The investigational study medication is being evaluated for use in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The comparison medication is a standard of care, approved medication commonly used to treat conditions associated with heart failure. Both medications are tablets taken by mouth.
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of the two medications.
