Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction clinical trials in Illinois
We’re tracking 9 recruiting heart failure with reduced ejection fraction studies with a site in Illinois — including Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Illinois
- NCT06736574RecruitingPhase 3
Study of omecamtiv mecarbil for chronic heart failure with very weak heart pump
This study tests an investigational medicine (omecamtiv mecarbil) for people with chronic heart failure and very low pumping strength. It looks at whether the drug can help prevent heart failure events or the need for stronger treatments.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18–85 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40 years+ - NCT07335510Recruiting
Baroreflex therapy for heart failure patients
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in your neck to help your heart pump better. It is for people with heart failure and a weak heart pump who still have symptoms despite taking medications.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06526988Recruiting
Heart failure medication optimization study for clinicians and patients
This study tests tools to help doctors and patients work together to start or adjust heart failure medicines. You may qualify if your heart's pumping strength is low and you are missing certain recommended medications.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05650658Recruiting
Compare two heart pacing options in people with weak heart function
This trial compares two types of “left-side” heart pacing to see which one works better in people with weak heart pumping. It may help guide the best pacing choice for improving heart function and symptoms.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06783335Recruiting
Cordella sensor for chronic heart failure
This trial studies a small sensor placed in the lung artery to help manage chronic heart failure. It compares patients who get the sensor to those who receive standard care, to see if the sensor improves outcomes.
Naperville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07087613Recruiting
Detecting heart and lung pressure problems with a smart stethoscope
This study tests if a digital stethoscope and a simple 3-lead ECG (heart rhythm test) can detect two heart conditions: high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) and low pumping strength of the heart (low ejection fraction). It's intended for adults who recently had a heart ultrasound or a heart catheterization.
Springfield, IllinoisAges 18 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.

What taking part in a heart failure with reduced 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 reduced ejection fraction clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting heart failure with reduced ejection fraction studies with a site in Illinois, 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 reduced ejection fraction study in Illinois?
- 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 Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, 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 reduced 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.
