Study of an investigational medicine for heart failure with reduced pumping function
This trial tests an investigational medicine called CRD-4730 (taken as a pill) to see if it can improve heart function and symptoms in people with heart failure and a reduced pumping ability. It may help you feel better and slow the progression of your condition.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06645535Enrolling by invitation
Gut Bacteria and Blood Substances in Stiff Heart Failure
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and certain substances in your blood relate to a type of heart failure called HFpEF (where the heart is stiff and doesn't relax well). It may help doctors understand the condition better and find new ways to treat it.
Naning, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT04913805RecruitingPhase 2
Study for HFpEF using heart pressure and energy signals
This Phase 2 study tests how matching heart “filling pressure” and heart muscle “energy use” may improve understanding or treatment of HFpEF, a type of heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be asked to have heart scans/tests and follow a study plan if your symptoms and test results fit.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04822649Recruiting
Assessing exercise capacity in people with heart microvascular problems
This study looks at how well you can exercise and how your body composition relates to tiny blood-vessel problems in the heart. It may help doctors better understand symptoms and function in people who don’t have major blockages in the large heart arteries.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT05138575RecruitingPhase 2
Testing SGLT2 pill and potassium nitrate for heart failure with preserved EF
This trial studies whether two medicines—an SGLT2 inhibitor and potassium nitrate—can improve symptoms and heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It focuses on people who still have signs of “stiff” or high filling pressure in the heart despite a normal-ish ejection fraction.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03876223Recruiting
Testing imaging to study heart symptoms without blocked arteries
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04592445Recruiting
Nerve ablation for right-sided symptoms in HFpEF heart failure
This trial tests a procedure to “turn off” the right greater splanchnic nerve to improve symptoms in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping function). If successful, it may reduce shortness of breath and fluid congestion in daily life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40 years+ - NCT06907017Recruiting
CorWave left heart pump first-in-human study
This trial tests a new left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for people with advanced heart failure who are not responding to standard treatments and are eligible for a heart transplant. The pump helps the heart circulate blood.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT06161987Recruiting
Early rehab for acute heart failure
This study tests whether starting a tailored exercise and education program early in the hospital can help people with acute heart failure recover faster and feel better. It includes walking, breathing exercises, and support to get you back to daily activities.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06272734Recruiting
Reprieve system study for hospitalized heart failure
This study tests a device (Reprieve System) to remove extra fluid more safely in heart failure patients while they are hospitalized. It may be a good option if you have fluid buildup and are not too sick from other conditions.
TbilisiAges 18 years+ - NCT06142474RecruitingPhase 3
SGLT2 inhibitors for heart failure patients during ventilator weaning
This trial tests a heart failure medication (SGLT2 inhibitor) to help people with heart failure who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) get better and come off the machine faster. It is for patients with a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps weakly (EF ≤ 40%).
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07147114RecruitingPhase 4
Combined macitentan and dapagliflozin for heart failure with lung high blood pressure
This trial tests whether adding two medications—macitentan and dapagliflozin—together is safe and effective for people with heart failure and a certain type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It might help improve your symptoms and daily function.
BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT07207811RecruitingPhase 3
Study of coramitug for heart failure from ATTR amyloidosis
This study tests an investigational medicine called coramitug in people with heart failure caused by ATTR amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal protein builds up in the heart. The goal is to see if it can slow or improve heart function.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06486649Recruiting
AI tool for diagnosing HFpEF heart failure
This trial is testing a new AI-powered tool to help doctors better diagnose a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF, where the heart pumps normally but doesn't relax properly. It may help you if you have symptoms like shortness of breath or swelling and your heart ultrasound shows normal pumping ability.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06208007Recruiting
Predicting heart failure with stiff arteries
This study looks at whether stiffer arteries can help predict a type of heart failure where the heart doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It's for people who have risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes, or being older, and who may have early signs of heart trouble.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT07251361Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This study tests whether a special exercise program that combines different types of training (like aerobic, strength, and balance) can improve heart and muscle function, daily abilities, and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may benefit if your heart failure is stable and you are able to exercise safely.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT06770023RecruitingPhase 1
Bridge to lung transplant with ECMO for right heart failure
This study tests a special heart-lung support machine (ECMO) for people waiting for a lung transplant whose heart is failing due to high blood pressure in the lungs. The machine helps rest the heart and lungs until transplant surgery.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–80 - NCT07482943RecruitingPhase 4

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 397 recruiting chronic 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 chronic 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 chronic 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.
