Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT04141605Enrolling by invitation
Heart transplant candidates matched for better heart preservation
This study creates a worldwide registry and information database to help improve how donor hearts are preserved for transplant. If you are a heart transplant candidate, your details may be recorded to see what matching and preservation approaches work best.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Any age - NCT07634640RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing an Inflammation Treatment for Heart Failure
This early-stage trial tests a new approach to treat heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)—a type of heart failure where the heart's pumping strength is normal, but it doesn't relax properly. Researchers believe inflammation plays a role and want to see if targeting it can help patients feel better and function more easily.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–85 - NCT07567001RecruitingPhase 3
Testing NNC0487-0111 for Heart Failure and Obesity
This study tests whether a new medication called NNC0487-0111 can help people with heart failure who also have obesity. Researchers will compare it to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it improves heart function and overall health.
Clearwater, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06024746RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone plus SGLT2i for hospitalized heart failure
This trial tests whether adding two heart medicines together (finerenone and an SGLT2 inhibitor) helps people who are in the hospital for heart failure recover better. It may be an option for you if you are currently hospitalized and your heart stress markers are high.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991257RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PF-07328948 for adults with heart failure
This trial tests a new medicine, PF-07328948, for adults with heart failure to see if it can improve symptoms and daily life. It is for people who have had heart failure for at least 3 months and can walk without too much difficulty.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–79 - NCT06935370RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vicadrostat with empagliflozin for heart failure with weak pump
This trial tests a new drug called vicadrostat combined with another drug, empagliflozin, for people with heart failure and a weak heart pump. It aims to see if this combination helps improve symptoms and outcomes.
Brandon, FloridaAges 18 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.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 50–99 - NCT06307652RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new heart failure and kidney treatment combo
This study tests a new combination of two medicines (balcinrenone and dapagliflozin) for people with heart failure and reduced kidney function. The goal is to see if this combination helps improve heart and kidney health better than current treatments.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18–130 - 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.
Miami Lakes, FloridaAges 40–84 - NCT05996328Recruiting
Meal delivery study for older veterans with heart failure
This study tests if providing ready-to-eat meals to older veterans recently hospitalized with heart failure can help them recover and avoid going back to the hospital. It aims to make it easier to follow a heart-healthy diet at home.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 60 years+ - NCT05265520Recruiting
Pacing strategy study for certain heart failure patients
This trial tests a pacing approach designed to improve how the heart beats in some people with heart failure and a specific heart rhythm pattern on ECG. If you already need a device (CRT-D) based on your results, the study may help see whether this pacing correction improves outcomes.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07465653RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HJB647 for heart failure with reduced pumping ability
This trial tests a new medicine, HJB647, in people with heart failure who have a weak heart pump. It aims to see if the drug is safe and well-tolerated. You may qualify if your heart's pumping ability is reduced and you are on a specific standard therapy.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05507879Recruiting
Breast cancer heart monitoring to predict heart damage risk
This trial studies how a blood test marker (TRPC6) may help predict and prevent heart muscle damage and heart failure related to some breast cancer medicines. You may join if you’re starting or have received treatment that can stress the heart, or if you already have signs of treatment-related heart problems.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07350759Recruiting
Using a wearable to detect heart failure worsening
This study tests if a wearable device can spot early signs of heart failure getting worse. If you already use a heart monitor and have stable readings, you may help show how a non-invasive wearable could alert you sooner.
Tampa, FloridaAges 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).
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT06677060RecruitingPhase 3
Study of baxdrostat plus dapagliflozin for heart risk in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a new drug called baxdrostat, when added to the diabetes medicine dapagliflozin (Farxiga), can prevent heart failure and heart-related death in people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and existing heart or blood vessel disease. You may be able to join if you have type 2 diabetes, heart or blood vessel disease, high blood pressure, and at least one extra risk factor for heart failure.
Crystal River, FloridaAges 40 years+ - NCT07188805RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone for children with heart failure
This study tests a new medicine called finerenone (a pill) to see if it helps children with heart failure who have a weak pumping heart. It compares finerenone to a placebo (a pill with no medicine) while both groups continue their usual heart treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 6 months–17 years - NCT07192952RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety of finerenone in children and young adults with heart failure
This study tests the long-term safety of the drug finerenone when taken alongside standard heart failure treatments in children and young adults with weakened heart pumping function (left ventricular systolic dysfunction). It includes both children already in a related study and new infants under 6 months old.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06678841Recruiting
Pacing therapy for heart failure with preserved pumping ability

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.
