Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07298993Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Stopping beta-blockers in older adults with heart failure and preserved pumping function
This study tests whether safely stopping beta-blocker heart medications can help older adults with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. Participants will be followed to see how stopping the medication affects their symptoms and health.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07830758RecruitingPhase 1
Resmetirom for fatty liver disease with heart failure
This trial tests a drug called resmetirom for people who have both a type of fatty liver disease (MASH) and a type of heart failure (HFpEF). It aims to see if the drug can help both conditions. You may be able to join if you have both conditions and meet certain health criteria.
Oxnard, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07795814RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new medicine for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This study tests an investigational medicine called EDG-15400 for people with a type of heart failure where the heart muscle is stiff and doesn't relax properly, even though the pumping function is normal. The goal is to see if the medicine improves symptoms and daily functioning.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 30–84 - NCT07761117RecruitingPhase 3
Heart failure treatment study for people with preserved pumping function
This study tests an investigational medication called elecoglipron to see if it can improve heart and blood vessel outcomes in people with heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. If you join, you will receive either the study drug or a placebo, and your heart health will be monitored over time.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 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.
Huntington Beach, CaliforniaAges 50 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.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT06979362RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new medicine for heart failure with thickened heart muscle
This study tests an experimental medicine, CDR132L, to see if it can improve heart structure and function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart muscle is thickened. If you have heart failure with normal pumping function and thickened heart walls, this trial may offer access to a new potential treatment.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 40–84 - 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.
Imperial, CaliforniaAges 40–85 - NCT06699056Recruiting
AI heart monitor study for ejection fraction
This study uses an AI-powered wearable monitor to check how well your heart pumps blood (ejection fraction) from a simple EKG recording. It may help doctors quickly assess heart function without extra tests.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 30 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT03876223Recruiting
Testing imaging to study heart symptoms without blocked arteries
This trial studies people who have heart-related symptoms but do not have clear blocked heart arteries, using special heart imaging. It may help researchers better understand early forms of heart weakness (with preserved pumping function) and improve how these conditions are diagnosed.

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.

Common questions
- Are there heart failure with preserved ejection fraction clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 15 recruiting heart failure with preserved ejection fraction studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a heart failure with preserved ejection fraction study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a heart failure with preserved ejection fraction trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
