Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 21 years+ - NCT05064709Recruiting
Test device for heart failure symptoms in some patients
This study tests whether a heart-related device called CCM can improve symptoms and daily function in people with heart failure and a moderately reduced pumping strength. It may help if you’ve had recent heart-failure-related hospital care or urgent treatment and your heart and overall health fit the study limits.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06061549RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for stiff heart failure (preserved EF)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy for people with heart failure who still have normal pumping strength (preserved ejection fraction). It aims to improve how heart cells handle calcium, which may help the heart relax better and ease symptoms.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50 years+ - NCT06937320Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing ketone supplements for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
This study tests whether a special dietary supplement (ketone esters) can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You might join if you have stable symptoms, an ejection fraction of 50% or higher, and signs of fluid buildup in the heart.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05525663Recruiting
Rehab for older adults after heart failure with strong pumping
This trial studies whether a physical rehabilitation program helps older adults recover and function better after a recent hospital stay for heart failure when the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help you regain walking ability and daily independence after your episode.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 60 years+ - NCT06195982Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Ketone supplement for heart failure with reduced pumping ability
This trial tests whether a ketone supplement can improve heart function and exercise ability in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you feel better during daily activities.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06979362RecruitingPhase 2
Study of CDR132L for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial tests if CDR132L can improve heart structure and function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff and thickened. It may help if you have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and a thickened heart muscle.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 40–84 - NCT06174103Recruiting
BiVACOR total artificial heart early feasibility study
This study tests a new total artificial heart called BiVACOR for people with severe heart failure that cannot be helped by standard pumps. It is designed to keep you alive while you wait for a heart transplant.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT06678841Recruiting
Pacing therapy for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 40 years+ - NCT05180773RecruitingPhase 4
Bromocriptine for new postpartum heart weakness
This trial studies whether bromocriptine improves health outcomes in people recently diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy (a weakened heart during late pregnancy or soon after delivery). You may be asked about timing after childbirth, heart strength tests, and whether you plan to keep breastfeeding.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07413198Recruiting
Combined home and clinic exercise coaching for heart failure
This trial tests a program that combines home-based and clinic-based exercise coaching to help people with heart failure get more active. It aims to improve health and quality of life.

What taking part in a heart failure, diastolic 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.
