CS Reducer study for heart failure with preserved pumping function
This trial is testing a device called CS Reducer to see if it can help people with a certain type of heart failure (HFpEF) and a problem with small blood vessels in the heart (CMD). The device may improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–130 - 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.

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.

Dapagliflozin for Failing Fontan Circulation
This study tests whether a medication called dapagliflozin (a pill for heart failure) can help people with a Fontan circulation who feel short of breath. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT03523416Recruiting
Shunt device for heart failure with reduced pumping function
This trial studies a small device placed in the heart to create a passage that may help relieve pressure and improve symptoms in people with heart failure and a weak pumping function. It aims to see if the device is safe and helpful for daily life.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07207811RecruitingPhase 3
Coramitug for heart failure caused by ATTR amyloidosis
This trial tests a new medicine called Coramitug for people with heart failure due to ATTR amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. The study aims to see if Coramitug can improve heart function and quality of life.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07206602Recruiting
AI-guided left bundle branch pacing
This trial tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead in the heart's left bundle branch area, guided by artificial intelligence. It aims to improve heart function in people with heart failure who need pacing.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07112924Recruiting
CCM Heart Device Registry Study
This registry study follows patients who have or will get a CCM device to see how well it works and how safe it is over time. It helps doctors learn more about improving heart function in people with heart failure.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07086131Recruiting
Inspiratory muscle training and cardiac rehab for heart failure
This study tests if adding inspiratory muscle training (exercises for breathing muscles) to standard cardiac rehab helps people with heart failure exercise better. It aims to improve how you feel and function.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06874556Recruiting
Paramedic support for heart failure management
This study tests if paramedics can help manage heart failure at home or in clinic, reducing hospital visits. It may be an option if you need frequent diuretic adjustments or early discharge with monitoring.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT06812533Recruiting
Testing a new approach for heart failure with weak pump
This study tests a new device or procedure to help people with heart failure and a weak heart pump. If you have a low ejection fraction and are on standard medications, you may be able to join.

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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–85 - NCT06641362Recruiting
Ultra-high frequency ECG for heart timing problems
This study tests a new, more detailed type of ECG (called UHF-ECG) to see if it can better detect uneven electrical timing in the heart. If you are getting your first pacemaker for a slow heart rate or heart failure, this study may help doctors personalize your treatment.

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.

Common questions
- Are there heart failure clinical trials in Minnesota?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 59 recruiting heart failure studies with a site in Minnesota, 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 study in Minnesota?
- 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 Minnesota to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Minnesota, 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 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.
Not the right time?
New heart failure studies open in Minnesota regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
