Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06080074RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency heart-lung machine study for children with severe heart failure
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
Dallas, TexasAges birth–16 years - NCT07192952RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety of finerenone for children with heart failure
This trial tests a medicine called finerenone to see if it is safe for children and young adults with heart failure when taken for a long time. It may help improve heart function and manage symptoms.
Dallas, TexasAges Up to 18 years - NCT07188805RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone for children with heart failure
This study tests a medicine called finerenone in children with heart failure. It looks at whether finerenone helps the heart work better and is safe compared to a placebo (a dummy pill), when taken with the usual heart-failure medicines.
Dallas, TexasAges 6 months–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.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 40 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).
Dallas, TexasAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT06360380Recruiting
Wearable device for fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests a wearable device that removes extra fluid from your body without using the kidneys. It may help people with heart failure who still have fluid buildup despite taking high doses of water pills.
Austin, TexasAges 21–79 - NCT06678841Recruiting
Pacing therapy for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This study tests a new pacing approach for people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) to see if it can improve symptoms and quality of life. It involves a pacemaker-like device that adjusts heart rate based on your needs.
Dallas, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT05838287RecruitingPhase 4
Pioglitazone for heart failure with preserved pumping in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether pioglitazone (a diabetes medicine) helps people who have type 2 diabetes and a specific type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally. It may improve heart failure symptoms and function in carefully selected patients.
San Antonio, TexasAges 30–70 - NCT06898515Recruiting
Fluid removal study for acute heart failure patients
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).

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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06052072Enrolling by invitation
Heart failure trial testing nerve treatment for lung pressure
This trial tests a new treatment that uses a device to calm overactive nerves in the lung's blood vessels. It is for heart failure patients who also have high blood pressure in their lungs, to see if it can help them breathe easier and feel better.
Houston, TexasAges 22–85 - NCT06593327Recruiting

Hepatitis C–safe antiviral plan for heart transplant recipients
This Phase 2 trial tests giving newer hepatitis C medicines in a careful way to people getting a heart transplant who currently do not have hepatitis C in their blood. The goal is to lower hepatitis C infection risk from donated organs while keeping transplant outcomes safe.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT06659952Recruiting
HIV+ donor hearts for HIV+ recipients

Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06217302RecruitingPhase 3
Sotagliflozin for kidney protection in type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether sotagliflozin (a pill that helps control blood sugar and protects the kidneys) can slow down kidney function decline in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least 8 years, have moderate kidney damage, and are on standard treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT01258231Recruiting
Genetic test to predict risks after heart surgery
This study looks for genetic (DNA) clues that may help predict side effects or complications after heart surgery. If you join, your genome information may be used to understand who is at higher risk and why.
Houston, TexasAges 20–90 - NCT06378632Recruiting
Heart failure monitoring app study
This study tests a smartphone app that listens to your voice to detect early signs of heart failure worsening. It aims to help you avoid hospital stays by catching problems sooner.
McAllen, TexasAges 22 years+ - NCT07223242RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tailored exercise training for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests a personalized exercise program to help people with a type of heart failure called HFpEF. You may qualify if your heart still pumps well but you have trouble being active, and you are willing to use a phone app and exercise regularly.
Dallas, TexasAges 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07112924Recruiting

Using a lung artery sensor to guide LVAD care
This study tests whether a small sensor (CardioMEMS) implanted in the lung artery can help doctors better manage LVAD settings and reduce hospital visits. It is for people who already have a HeartMate 3 heart pump and are stable enough to go home.
Plano, TexasAges 21–85 - NCT07098858Recruiting
Registry for WiSE heart device patients

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 Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 91 recruiting heart failure studies with a site in Texas, 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 Texas?
- 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 Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, 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 Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
