Liraglutide Effect in Atrial Fibrillation
NCT03856632 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal (or purpose) of this study is to evaluate (study) a new way to stabilize (steady) the activity between the fat deposits surrounding the heart and the left atrium. To reduce the amount of EAT, this study will use a medication called Liraglutide. This medication is known to work on fat deposits and produce weight loss. The investigator is conducting this study to find out if Liraglutide will reduce the fat deposits surrounding the participant's heart, and stabilize (and perhaps reduce or eliminate) atrial fibrillation activity.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03856632
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03856632 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Miami, which has 667 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Atrial Fibrillation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Liraglutide is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03856632 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Florida. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
