Recruiting studies near Cleveland
- 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07214376Recruiting
Nerve ablation for pulmonary hypertension from left heart disease
This trial tests a device that uses a catheter to deliver energy to nerves around the pulmonary arteries, aiming to reduce high blood pressure in the lungs caused by left heart failure. It is for people with ongoing heart failure symptoms despite optimal medications.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT07205120Recruiting
Fluid-guided heart failure treatment study
This trial tests a new way to manage fluid levels in people hospitalized for heart failure. It aims to help doctors adjust treatment to keep you from coming back to the hospital.
Cleveland, OhioAges 21 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05714085RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vericiguat study for children with heart failure
This trial tests whether vericiguat helps children with chronic heart failure caused by weaker left heart pumping. It also checks safety and how the medicine behaves in the body (dose and processing).
Cleveland, OhioAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT07131631Recruiting
MitraClip for leaky heart valve in heart failure patients
This trial tests if the MitraClip device helps people with heart failure and a leaky mitral valve. It uses a special MRI to check how the heart responds to treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07650669Recruiting
Using Wearable Devices to Monitor Heart Health
This study asks heart failure patients to wear a fitness tracker (like Fitbit or Apple Watch) and use a smartphone app called HeartBit to share health data with researchers. The goal is to learn whether tracking daily activity, heart rate, and sleep can help catch heart problems early or improve care.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT05685303Recruiting
Testing a treatment for heart failure symptoms with normal pumping ability
This study is looking at a new treatment for people with heart failure where the heart’s pumping strength is not reduced much (HFpEF or HFmrEF), but pressure inside the heart is high during exercise. It may help relieve symptoms in people who still feel unwell during normal activity despite stable standard treatment.
Cleveland, OhioAges 40 years+ - NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03142152Recruiting
Mitral valve implant for heart failure with leaky mitral valve
This trial tests whether a device called the Carillon Mitral Contour System can help people with heart failure caused by a mild-to-moderate leaky mitral valve. You’d be compared against a control group, and the goal is to improve heart failure symptoms and outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT00271180Recruiting
Tracks long-term performance of Medtronic heart devices
This study follows how well certain Medtronic heart devices work over the long term. You may be included if you have a qualifying Medtronic implant and the research team can reliably get your implant and follow-up information.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT04191681RecruitingPhase 4
Testing ARNI in people with implanted LVAD devices
This trial studies whether a heart medicine called ARNI (sacubitril-valsartan) is safe and works well for people who have a durable LVAD and moderate-to-severe heart pumping weakness. It may help improve symptoms and outcomes, while carefully checking side effects in this higher-risk group.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07184541Recruiting
Nurse-led weight monitoring for heart failure quality of life
This study tests a nurse-led program where you weigh yourself daily at home to help manage your heart failure. It aims to improve your quality of life and your ability to care for yourself.
Avon, OhioAges 55 years+ - NCT06033950RecruitingPhase 3
A study of finerenone for heart failure patients who can't take standard MRA drugs
This study tests whether finerenone, a new type of drug, can help people with heart failure who cannot take standard steroid-based MRAs (a kind of heart medication) because of side effects or other reasons. It aims to see if it improves symptoms and is safe for you.
Akron, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01790152Recruiting
Dexrazoxane study to monitor heart damage in cancer survivors
This study tests dexrazoxane (DRZ) to see how it affects blood and heart-related “biomarkers,” or measurable signs of heart damage, after cancer treatment. It mainly targets survivors who may be at risk for cardiomyopathy (heart muscle weakness) or related heart failure.
Akron, OhioAges Any age - 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.

What taking part in a heart failure 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.
