Modulation of Circulating Levels of the Ketone Body 3-hydroxybutyrate in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Metabolic Effects. (KETO-HFpEF-Metabolic)
A study testing Ketone ester in people with Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.
Trial summary
Heart failure (HF) is among the most common causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Ketones, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), have shown to have beneficial effects in patients with hearth failure with reduced ejection fraction. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Modulation of Circulating Levels of the Ketone Body 3-hydroxybutyrate in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Metabolic Effects.
Heart failure (HF) is among the most common causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Ketones, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), have shown to have beneficial effects in patients with hearth failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, this have never been investigated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
In this study we would like to investigate the effect of 14 days modulation of circulating ketone body levels on whole body and skeletal metabolism in patients with HFpEF and T2D.
- Being tested
- Ketone ester, Placebo drink
- Medical subject headings
- Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Ketosis

Ketones, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), have shown to have beneficial effects in patients with hearth failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, this have never been investigated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
In this study we would like to investigate the effect of 14 days modulation of circulating ketone body levels on whole body and skeletal metabolism in patients with HFpEF and T2D.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Ketone ester in people with Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.
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 2 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Differences in lipolysis rate (time frame: After 14 days treatment). 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 10 Oct 2023.
