Registry for inherited heart conditions in Brazil
This study is building a national registry in Brazil to learn more about inherited heart conditions and improve care. If you have a family-related heart disease, you may be able to join and help advance cardiovascular healthcare.
Rio Branco, AcreAges Any age - NCT04265040Recruiting
Heart muscle disease registry for non-ischemic conditions
This trial is a registry, meaning it collects health information to help doctors study heart muscle diseases and plan future cardiovascular studies. You may be able to join if you have a non-ischemic cardiomyopathy such as dilated cardiomyopathy, certain forms of thick heart muscle, non-compaction, or arrhythmogenic right-sided disease.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–80 - NCT05321875RecruitingPhase 3
Candesartan to prevent heart failure in certain gene carriers
This trial tests whether candesartan (a blood-pressure medicine) can delay or prevent heart muscle weakening in people who carry a disease-causing dilated cardiomyopathy gene variant but still have fairly strong heart pumping. Participants are randomly assigned to candesartan or a placebo to see which one keeps the heart healthier over time.
Majadahonda, MadridAges 18–64 - NCT04464655Recruiting
10-minute heart MRI protocol for people with heart conditions
This study uses a short, 10-minute heart MRI to check how well it works for people who need a clinically indicated heart scan. It may help streamline heart MRI testing, making exams faster while still providing useful heart information.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06250257RecruitingPhase 3
Bromocriptine for Heart Weakness in Women 18-50
This trial tests a medicine called bromocriptine to see if it helps women with a weak heart muscle (dilated cardiomyopathy). It is for women between 18 and 50 whose heart weakness was found recently or is caused by blocked arteries, and who are not pregnant or planning pregnancy.
Jimma, OromiyaAges 18–50 - NCT06813443Recruiting
Studying cardiomyopathy to find who needs a heart transplant
This study is looking at people with cardiomyopathy to understand which patients are most in need of a heart transplant. By joining, you will help doctors learn more about critical cases and improve care for heart muscle disease.

This study uses a special type of MRI (T1 mapping) to better understand different heart conditions. It may help doctors improve diagnosis and treatment by looking at detailed images of your heart muscle.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07606274RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of NVC-001 for heart muscle disease caused by LMNA gene change
This trial tests an experimental drug called NVC-001 for people with a specific genetic heart condition (LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy) that causes the heart to become weak and enlarged. The goal is to see if the drug can help improve heart function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07345338Enrolling by invitation
Genetic testing for non-ischemic heart muscle disease
This study offers genetic testing to adults with a type of heart muscle disease (non-ischemic cardiomyopathy or dilated cardiomyopathy) that is not caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to find genetic causes, which may guide treatment and family screening.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06236022RecruitingPhase 4
Sirolimus for dilated cardiomyopathy with KSHV infection
This trial tests whether the drug sirolimus (rapamycin) can help people with dilated cardiomyopathy who also have a specific virus (KSHV) in their blood. It aims to see if sirolimus can improve heart function.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT02413450Enrolling by invitation
Using patient DNA cells to study inherited heart rhythm risks
This study uses your blood or genetic information to make “iPS cells,” lab-grown cells that can help researchers study inherited heart rhythm problems like LQTS, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, or early repolarization syndrome. It may help improve understanding of why these rhythms happen and guide future treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - 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+ - NCT03049254Recruiting
Registry and blood/tissue study for certain sudden heart death causes
This study builds a registry and collection of samples to better understand families affected by sudden heart death and related heart rhythm problems that are not clearly caused by a heart attack. It may help researchers identify patterns and improve future care, and it offers a way for patients and families to contribute to research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT02804269Recruiting
Ages 16 to 90 for heart disease information collection
This is a repository program that collects health and imaging-related information to better understand heart (cardiovascular) health and disease. You may be able to join if you are in the age range and share your data for research use.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 16–90 - NCT07359690Recruiting
Study of Heart Muscle Biopsies
This study collects samples of heart muscle tissue (biopsy) to better understand heart conditions. It is for people who already need this biopsy for their healthcare.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT05760924Recruiting
Testing a new heart pacing method for CRT nonresponders
This trial tests whether a different pacing approach called left bundle branch pacing can improve outcomes and heart structure changes in people who did not improve with standard biventricular CRT. It may help some patients with ongoing heart failure symptoms and weak heart pumping.
TomskAges 18–80 - NCT05769036Recruiting
Biventricular vs left bundle pacing for heart failure outcomes
This trial compares two types of heart pacing to see which improves outcomes for people with heart failure. It may help those who need pacing to better coordinate heartbeats and relieve symptoms.

Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07351838Recruiting
Heart MRI for risk screening in early cardiomyopathy
This study uses heart MRI to find people with early signs of heart muscle disease who still have normal-sized heart chambers. It aims to better predict who is at risk so they can get earlier care.

Personalized defibrillator plan for non-ischemic heart failure (SPANISH-1)
This trial is testing a personalized approach to deciding who gets an implantable defibrillator (ICD) for people with heart failure due to dilated cardiomyopathy (not from blocked arteries). It aims to see if MRI scans and other factors can better match the device to those who need it most.

Tests coronary blood flow in heart failure patients with CRT
This study measures how well blood flows in the heart (coronary flow) in people with heart failure with reduced pumping strength and a specific heart rhythm problem called left bundle branch block. It focuses on people who already have a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device and have stable treatment, to see how coronary flow relates to their heart condition.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06356727Recruiting
Blood vessel health test for heart recovery
This study checks if tiny blood vessel problems in the heart affect how well the heart muscle recovers after being weak. It uses special imaging during a routine heart catheterization to look at these small vessels.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dilated cardiomyopathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 54 recruiting dilated cardiomyopathy 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 dilated cardiomyopathy 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 dilated cardiomyopathy 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.
