Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT07232030Recruiting
Barostim device for heart failure treatment
This trial tests a device called Barostim, which is implanted under the skin to stimulate nerves that help control heart failure. It's for people with mild to moderate heart failure whose symptoms are not fully controlled by medications.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05650541Recruiting
Testing a home device to help chronic heart failure
This study tests whether a CardioPulmonary Management (CPM) system device used at home is safe and can improve outcomes for people with chronic heart failure. It may help manage symptoms and reduce complications, especially for higher-risk patients.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT06310031Recruiting
Testing BrioVAD heart pump for severe heart failure
This trial tests a new left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) called BrioVAD for people with advanced heart failure who are not getting enough benefit from medicines. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help your heart pump blood.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT07574593Recruiting
Heart Failure Sensor Implant Study
This study tests a small sensor placed in a vein to help monitor and manage heart failure. The sensor tracks fluid buildup in your heart and may help doctors adjust your treatment to keep you feeling better and out of the hospital.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 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.
Pembroke Pines, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT06258447Recruiting
CardiAMP bone marrow cell therapy for heart failure
This trial tests a new treatment using your own bone marrow cells to help your heart pump better. It's for people with heart failure after a heart attack whose heart function is moderately reduced.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 21–90 - NCT07069738Recruiting
New pacemaker vs standard cardiac therapy for heart failure
This study tests a newer type of pacemaker that paces the heart's left bundle branch area, compared to the usual cardiac resynchronization therapy. It is for people with heart failure who need a combined pacemaker-defibrillator (CRT-D) and have a specific heart rhythm pattern (left bundle branch block) with reduced pumping strength.
Sarasota, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05677100Recruiting
Aortix device for acute heart failure
This trial is testing a small pump placed in the aorta to help the kidneys remove extra fluid when standard IV diuretics aren't working well enough for severe heart failure. It may help you if you're hospitalized and still very congested (swollen, fluid buildup) despite strong water pills.
Pensacola, FloridaAges 21 years+ - NCT04149743Recruiting
Testing a heart-watching patch to track short-term heart failure outcomes
This trial checks whether a medical patch called HEMOTAG can help doctors predict or track how patients do shortly after a hospital stay for worsening heart failure. It may help improve early monitoring and treatment decisions after discharge.
Weston, FloridaAges 22 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.
Atlantis, FloridaAges 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.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05934487Recruiting
Monitoring device trial for stable heart failure symptoms
This trial tests whether a wearable home monitoring system (myCordella™) can help people with moderate heart failure (NYHA class II or III) by tracking heart pressure and supporting follow-up care. It may help detect changes earlier so clinicians can adjust treatment sooner.
Pensacola, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06424288RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vicadrostat plus empagliflozin for heart failure
This study tests whether adding a new study drug called vicadrostat to the standard heart failure medicine empagliflozin helps people with heart failure. It may be a good option if you have heart failure with preserved pumping function and are not already on a medicine called an MRA.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 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.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 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.
Brooksville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06979726RecruitingPhase 4
Lasix under the skin for heart failure symptoms
This study tests a way to give a common water pill (called Lasix, or furosemide) under the skin using a small pump at home, instead of in the hospital. It may help people with heart failure who have fluid buildup that isn't getting better with oral water pills.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–80 - 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.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07263035RecruitingPhase 4
Urine sodium-guided diuretic strategy for heart failure
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
Lakeland, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02368041Recruiting
Near-infrared scan test in children with heart failure
This study tests whether a near-infrared “light scan” on the hand can help doctors in children with heart failure who are stable on their usual medications. It may give additional information about blood flow and circulation in the body without using invasive procedures.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 25 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.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05610787Enrolling by invitation

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.
