Study of CK-4021586 for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This trial tests an investigational drug called CK-4021586 for people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to see if the drug is safe and well-tolerated. You may qualify if you are 40 to 85, have heart failure symptoms, and have a heart that pumps well but shows signs of strain.

Study of HS235 in obese patients with pulmonary hypertension and heart failure
This trial tests an investigational drug called HS235 in people who have both obesity (BMI 30-50) and a specific type of heart failure with preserved pumping function, along with high blood pressure in the lungs. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06337812Recruiting
Fiber supplement study for heart failure and diabetes
This study tests whether adding a daily fiber supplement can improve health in people with heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Participants take the supplement for several weeks to see if it helps manage symptoms and blood sugar.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06514820Recruiting
Exercise MRI study for obesity-related heart failure
This study uses an exercise test with MRI to understand how obesity affects the heart in people with heart failure. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and help patients.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06312748RecruitingPhase 1
Improving blood vessels in veterans with heart failure
This test is looking at whether certain medications (like statins) can help improve blood vessel health in veterans who have heart failure with preserved pumping function. It may help reduce symptoms and keep you out of the hospital.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05838287RecruitingPhase 4
Pioglitazone for heart failure with preserved pumping in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether pioglitazone (a diabetes medicine) helps people who have type 2 diabetes and a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally. It may improve heart failure symptoms and function in carefully selected patients.
San Antonio, TexasAges 30–70 - NCT05490901Recruiting
Test exercise heart pressure measurements with an ultrasound
This study looks at how well two heart tests taken during exercise—direct heart pressure measurement and an ultrasound—can explain shortness of breath with activity. It may help doctors better diagnose what’s causing your symptoms.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - 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+ - NCT05255172Enrolling by invitation
Exercise program for heart failure with preserved or reduced pumping
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can help people with heart failure. It focuses on people who are currently not very active, aiming to improve symptoms and heart/fitness measures safely.

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+ - NCT05383287Recruiting
Study of heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study looks at the different features and patterns of people with heart failure where the heart’s pumping strength is preserved. It may help doctors better understand your type of heart failure and tailor care.

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 - NCT05174351Recruiting
Stopping beta-blockers in heart failure with preserved pumping
This study checks whether safely stopping beta-blocker medicine is possible in some people with heart failure with preserved pumping (EF ≥50%). It may help by testing whether reducing the medication is safe and workable for certain patients.

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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 161 recruiting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 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 heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 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 heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 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.
