This trial tests whether injecting special cells (cell therapy) can help the heart recover in people with advanced heart failure who are getting a mechanical heart pump (LVAD). It may offer a new way to improve heart function and quality of life.
LjubljanaAges 18–65 - NCT04545242RecruitingPhase 4
Dexamethasone for severe lung failure from infections on ventilators
This trial studies whether dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) improves outcomes in adults who have sudden, severe breathing failure caused by an infection while they are on a breathing machine. It may help reduce inflammation in the lungs during critical illness.
Terrassa, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06920160Recruiting
Remote monitoring for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can help monitor your heart health after a hospital stay for heart failure. It is for people who use a smartphone often and have a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is lower than normal.
Ferrol, A CoruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT07318103RecruitingPhase 2
Study of HRS-9057 for fluid retention in heart failure
This trial tests an investigational drug, HRS-9057, in people hospitalized with heart failure who still have fluid buildup despite taking standard diuretics. The goal is to see if HRS-9057 helps remove excess fluid better than current treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05714085RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vericiguat study for children with heart failure
This trial tests whether vericiguat helps children with chronic heart failure caused by weaker left heart pumping. It also checks safety and how the medicine behaves in the body (dose and processing).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT06677060RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin for heart risk in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a new drug called baxdrostat, when added to the diabetes medicine dapagliflozin (Farxiga), can prevent heart failure and heart-related death in people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and existing heart or blood vessel disease. You may be able to join if you have type 2 diabetes, heart or blood vessel disease, high blood pressure, and at least one extra risk factor for heart failure.
