Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06015776Recruiting
Heart cell signals after menopause
This trial studies how heart cells communicate after menopause. Researchers are looking at a chemical signal called purinergic signaling during heart surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30–88 - NCT06517186Recruiting
Heart failure study with preserved pumping function
This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30 years+ - NCT06147336Recruiting
Testing the V-Lap system for heart failure monitoring
This trial tests a new device called V-Lap that is placed in the heart to monitor pressure. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and reduce hospital stays. Researchers want to see if it works well in people with mild to moderate heart failure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22–88 - NCT06793371RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–85 - NCT05934565Recruiting
Using mindfulness coaching to help people move more
This trial studies a program that uses mindfulness coaching to help people with chronic lung disease (COPD) and/or heart failure (HF) be more physically active. You may benefit if you can safely start exercising and track your steps using a Fitbit.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT07202000RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise and a drug to reduce inflammation for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This trial tests whether combining exercise with a medication that blocks a protein called activin can reduce inflammation, improve heart function, and help with thinking in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 30 years+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06008197RecruitingPhase 3
A study of finerenone for hospitalized heart failure patients
This trial tests a medication called finerenone to see if it helps people hospitalized for heart failure live longer and have fewer heart-related problems. It may be an option for those with a certain type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is mildly reduced or normal.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07215715Recruiting
Heart ultrasound study for older adults with heart failure
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure heart stiffness in people 60 and older who have heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced pumping function, with or without a condition called ATTR amyloidosis (a protein buildup in the heart). It also includes healthy controls.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03549559Recruiting
Heart imaging study in healthy people and specific conditions
This study uses heart imaging to look at changes in the heart muscle. It includes healthy volunteers and people with diabetes or aortic stenosis, to understand differences seen on scans.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT02901184RecruitingPhase 3
Spironolactone start study for heart failure with preserved pumping
This trial tests whether starting spironolactone helps people with heart failure symptoms when the heart pumps “preserved” (not severely reduced). Participants are assigned to start spironolactone or usual care so researchers can see if it improves outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–99 - NCT05839067Recruiting
Support program for U.S. veterans living with heart failure
This trial supports U.S. Veterans who have heart failure, to see whether the added support improves health and well-being. You may be able to join if you meet the age, diagnosis, and communication requirements.

What taking part in a heart failure with preserved ejection fraction 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.
