Recruiting studies near Raleigh–Durham
- 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07219511RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of VS-041 for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests an investigational drug called VS-041 to see if it's safe and helps people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have stable heart failure symptoms.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07037459RecruitingPhase 3
A study of a new drug for heart failure with obesity
This trial tests a medication called maridebart cafraglutide for people with heart failure (where the heart doesn't pump as well as it should) and obesity. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms and outcomes.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT04592445Recruiting
Nerve ablation for right-sided symptoms in HFpEF heart failure
This trial tests a procedure to “turn off” the right greater splanchnic nerve to improve symptoms in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping function). If successful, it may reduce shortness of breath and fluid congestion in daily life.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 40 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50–99 - 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+ - NCT07547540RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an investigational drug for heart failure
This study tests an experimental drug called LY3971297 to see if it can help people with chronic heart failure. It aims to find out if the drug is safe and if it improves heart function.

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.
