Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover design testing combinations placebo/placebo, bendroflumethiazide/placebo, amiloride/placebo, and bendroflumethiazide/amiloride added to bumetanide.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will employ a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind, double-dummy, crossover design testing combinations placebo/placebo, bendroflumethiazide/placebo, amiloride/placebo, and bendroflumethiazide/amiloride added to bumetanide.

Patients will be co-enrolled in this study and an ancillary study for administration of Bendroflumethiazide. Administration of bendroflumethiazide will take place under an ancillary protocol.
