Amino acid supplement during dialysis to improve energy in kidney disease
This early-stage study tests whether taking amino acids during hemodialysis can help people with end-stage kidney disease feel better and maintain strength. It may help by supporting nutrition during dialysis, but it’s mainly meant to gather early safety and benefit information.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT07038356RecruitingPhase 3
Continuing empagliflozin for heart failure patients in hospital
This trial tests whether staying on the medication empagliflozin helps people with heart failure who are hospitalized for worsening symptoms. Empagliflozin is a type of drug called an SGLT2 inhibitor, which helps control blood sugar and protect the heart.
Jena, ThuringiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07382284Recruiting
Long-term survival after LVAD for end-stage heart failure
This trial looks at how well people with advanced heart failure do over the long term after getting a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD). Researchers will check blood and heart tissue samples to learn more about recovery and outcomes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges Any age - NCT07653711Recruiting
Coated aldehyde oxystarch for reducing toxins in kidney failure
This trial tests a new oral medication, coated aldehyde oxystarch, for people on dialysis. It aims to lower certain waste products in the blood that are hard to remove with standard dialysis, which may help reduce long-term complications.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07467668Recruiting
Iron infusion for heart failure patients with low iron
This trial tests whether giving intravenous iron to adults hospitalized with heart failure and low iron levels helps improve their health. You may be eligible if you have heart failure with reduced pumping function and low iron stores.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06902896RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FAP iCDC therapy for advanced heart failure from dilated cardiomyopathy
This trial tests a new treatment called FAP iCDC for people with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, a type of heart muscle disease. It aims to see if this therapy is safe and helps improve heart function when standard medicines are no longer enough.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT04037995Recruiting
Real-world study of advanced liver disease in China
This study looks at people with very advanced liver problems to better understand what happens in real life. It may help doctors improve care for advanced cirrhosis and certain liver cancers.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT04641416Recruiting
Ultrasound test for people with HeartMate 3 blood pumps
This study checks whether a noninvasive ultrasound-based method can help diagnose what’s going on in people with a HeartMate 3 blood pump. It may help detect important pump-related changes while keeping the process safer for certain high-risk situations.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT04671771Recruiting
Testing a new graft for hemodialysis access in kidney failure
This study tests whether an “AV graft” implant works safely and well for people with end-stage kidney disease who need hemodialysis. It may help your dialysis access last and work better, compared with current expectations for AV grafts.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–90 - NCT04768322Recruiting
LVAD versus standard heart failure medicines in advanced patients
This trial compares an LVAD device (a pump placed in the chest) plus medicines versus medicines alone for people with advanced, end-stage heart failure. It aims to see which approach works better to help patients live and stay out of the hospital.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05647213RecruitingPhase 1
Skin biopsy study of stem-cell therapy for congenital heart disease
This early study takes a small skin sample to make a personalized type of heart stem cells in the future. It is testing whether this approach is safe and feasible for people with complex single-chamber congenital heart disease and advanced heart failure.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–40 - NCT05775432Recruiting
Study outcomes for people receiving heart transplants
This study follows people with severe (end-stage) heart failure who are evaluated for and receive a heart transplant. It helps doctors understand what outcomes to expect after transplant, which can guide future care.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 3–80 - NCT06205225Recruiting
Mobile health program for heart failure self-care
This study tests a mobile health program (phone app and coaching) to help people with heart failure better manage their condition at home. It aims to improve self-care and reduce hospital visits.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06286423RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine for acute heart failure with low pumping strength
This trial tests if the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine can help people hospitalized with acute heart failure and a weak heart pump. It may benefit those with elevated inflammation markers.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06313684Recruiting
Hybrid cardiac rehab for heart failure patients
This study tests a hybrid cardiac rehab program (both at the clinic and at home) for people with heart failure. It combines supervised exercise sessions with remote support to help improve your heart health and daily function.
SantiagoAges 18 years+ - NCT06455878Recruiting
Mobile app for weight loss in heart failure patients
This trial tests a mobile app that helps you track your diet to manage your weight. It is designed for people with heart failure who are overweight and have recently been in the hospital for their condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06556485Recruiting
Early ablation for heart failure patients with heart pumps or on transplant list
This trial tests whether doing a catheter ablation early (before dangerous heart rhythms start) can help people with severe heart failure who need a heart transplant or already have an ICD. The goal is to see if this can improve outcomes.
Bad OeynhausenAges 18–99 - NCT06758128Recruiting
Genes and immunity in worsening heart failure
This study looks at how your genes and immune system affect heart failure. Researchers want to understand why some people have flare-ups (exacerbations) and how the body responds.
San Giovanni Rotondo, FoggiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06783335Recruiting
Cordella sensor for chronic heart failure
This trial studies a small sensor placed in the lung artery to help manage chronic heart failure. It compares patients who get the sensor to those who receive standard care, to see if the sensor improves outcomes.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06877169Recruiting
Staged heart and kidney transplant study
This study compares two ways of doing a combined heart and kidney transplant. It looks at doing the surgeries in separate stages instead of all at once, to see if that is safer or works better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for end-stage heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 75 recruiting end-stage 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 end-stage 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 end-stage 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.
