Congestive Heart Failure clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 8 recruiting congestive heart failure studies with a site in California — including Phase 1/Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Concord, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04703842RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug effect on heart muscle calcium in advanced heart failure
This trial tests a treatment intended to improve how heart muscle cells handle calcium, which may help heart failure symptoms and heart function. It is mainly for people with advanced heart failure and a low pumping strength of the heart.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT05873634Recruiting
Using health records and testing to study heart failure types
This study combines electronic health record data and detailed heart testing to better understand different heart failure types and what treatments may work best for each. It mainly enrolls people with known heart failure, and also some people without heart failure for comparison.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 30 years+ - NCT05441696Enrolling by invitation
Check a noninvasive heart failure blood-flow measurement in hospital
This study tests a device that measures blood flow and pressure in a noninvasive way (using sensors on the body) for people admitted with worsening heart failure. It may help doctors monitor heart failure and potentially lower the chance of coming back to the hospital.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06360380Recruiting
Wearable device for fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests a wearable device that removes extra fluid from your body without using the kidneys. It may help people with heart failure who still have fluid buildup despite taking high doses of water pills.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–79 - 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40 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.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06779552Recruiting
Study of CardioMEMS System for Heart Failure Patients
This study is looking at how well the CardioMEMS heart monitor works for people with heart failure. The device is already implanted and tracks pressure in your lung artery to help your doctor manage your condition and potentially prevent hospital visits.

What taking part in a congestive heart failure study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there congestive heart failure clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting congestive heart failure studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a congestive heart failure study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a congestive heart failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New congestive heart failure studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
