KaunasAges 18–85 - NCT07149714Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07047547Recruiting

Study why water pills (diuretics) stop working in heart failure
This Phase 1 study looks at why “water pills” sometimes stop relieving fluid overload in people with heart failure. It may help researchers understand the causes of diuretic resistance and improve future treatment for fluid management.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06209359RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a second diuretic for heart failure patients
This trial tests whether adding a second type of diuretic (water pill) can help people with heart failure who don't respond well to their current diuretic. It aims to find better ways to manage fluid buildup.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06927440Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 947 recruiting heart failure studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a heart failure trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a heart failure trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
