Comparing robotic remote heart ultrasound to standard care for heart failure
This trial tests whether a robot that performs heart ultrasounds from a distance works as well as a standard in-person ultrasound for managing heart failure. It could help people on the island of Marie-Galante get specialist care without traveling.
Grand-BourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06241651Recruiting
Comparing two types of pacemakers for heart failure patients
This trial tests if a new pacemaker method (CSP) works better than the standard method (BiVP) for people with heart failure who already have a right ventricular pacemaker and need an upgrade.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07375433Recruiting
Heart failure and COPD study for patients aged 50 to 70
This trial looks at how heart failure with preserved pumping function affects people who also have COPD. It aims to understand the course of the disease and long-term outlook.
Kazan'Ages 50–70 - NCT06795971Recruiting
Comparing oxygen methods for hypoxemic respiratory failure
This trial compares three ways of giving extra oxygen to people with low blood oxygen levels: a face mask with continuous pressure, a noninvasive ventilator, or high-flow oxygen through the nose. The goal is to see which method helps people avoid needing a breathing tube.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05834803Recruiting
Stenting narrowed kidney artery to help high-risk patients
This trial studies whether placing a small stent in a severely narrowed kidney artery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, artery-hardening kidney blood-flow problems. It focuses on people whose high blood pressure or kidney function has been getting worse despite multiple medications.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06688396Recruiting
Finding early signs of dilated cardiomyopathy with AI and mobile screening
This trial uses a smartphone app to screen first-degree relatives of people with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) for early signs of the condition. It aims to detect heart muscle weakness before symptoms start, so that treatment can begin sooner.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06916585RecruitingPhase 2
Testing AS1501 for acute-on-chronic liver failure
This trial tests a new drug called AS1501 for people with acute-on-chronic liver failure (a sudden worsening of chronic liver disease). It aims to see if the drug can help improve liver function and reduce the need for a liver transplant. You may be eligible if you are in the early or middle stage of this condition and have a specific blood marker (high TRAIL level).
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07367113Recruiting
Finger sensor guided fluids for skin health in older ICU patients
This study tests if using a finger sensor to guide fluid therapy can prevent skin failure in older ICU patients with sepsis or shock. It compares usual care to personalized fluid management.

Heart condition research registry at Dubrava Hospital
This study is a registry that will collect information from people with certain heart conditions (like having a pacemaker, a blood clot, a heart attack, or a valve replacement procedure called TAVI). The goal is to learn more about these conditions and how they are treated.
ZagrebAges 18 years+ - NCT07002164Recruiting
Timing of heart artery imaging in NSTEMI with heart failure
This trial looks at the best time to perform a heart catheterization (coronary angiography) in people who have a mild heart attack (NSTEMI) and also develop worsening heart failure symptoms. The goal is to find out if doing the procedure early or later leads to better outcomes.

SCD test for people with heart and kidney failure awaiting LVAD
This study looks at whether a treatment called SCD is safe and workable in people who have worsening heart failure along with kidney problems, and who are waiting to get an LVAD (a mechanical heart pump). It is mainly a feasibility study, meaning the researchers want to see if this approach can be used in real hospital care and monitor effects on key health measures.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07705269Recruiting
High-rate fluid removal for fluid overload in dialysis patients
This trial tests whether a faster rate of fluid removal during dialysis can help hospitalized patients with end-stage kidney disease who have severe fluid buildup. It aims to reduce fluid congestion and improve outcomes.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 18 years+ - NCT05958706Recruiting
Testing how heart cells use fuel in heart failure
This study looks at how the heart uses energy fuel in people with heart failure, including those with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand what’s going on inside the heart and how it could be treated in the future.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 434 recruiting acute heart failure studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute heart failure trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute heart failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
