Vericiguat study for kidney disease and heart failure patients
This trial tests how a medication called vericiguat works in people with both chronic kidney disease and heart failure. It aims to see if the drug helps manage these conditions together.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07284446Recruiting

Coimbra, Coimbra DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT07601022Recruiting
Study of Heart Failure Hospital Admissions and Heart Function
This registry collects information from patients admitted to the hospital with acute heart failure (sudden worsening of the heart's pumping ability). Researchers will study your heart rhythm, blood markers, and medical history to better understand heart failure patterns and outcomes.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06927440Enrolling by invitation
Registry for children with severe heart failure in China
This study is creating a registry to learn more about children with advanced heart failure. It will help doctors understand who can benefit from treatments like medicine, devices, or transplants.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT05441696Enrolling by invitation
Check a noninvasive heart failure blood-flow measurement in hospital
This study tests a device that measures blood flow and pressure in a noninvasive way (using sensors on the body) for people admitted with worsening heart failure. It may help doctors monitor heart failure and potentially lower the chance of coming back to the hospital.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT07775976Enrolling by invitation
Whole-heart checkup with a wearable heart monitor
This study looks at how well a wearable heart monitor and special software can check the health of your whole heart and assess your risk of future heart problems. It may help doctors create more personalized care plans.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Alexander City, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07349797Recruiting
Transdermal GFR system to check kidney function in heart failure
This trial tests a sensor placed on the skin to measure kidney function in adults with heart failure. It may help understand how well the kidneys are working without repeated blood draws.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07220798Recruiting
A program to support caregivers of people with heart failure and memory problems
This study tests a program to help caregivers of people with heart failure and memory problems take better care of themselves, so they can feel better and support their loved one more effectively.
New York, New YorkAges 18–101 - NCT06306573Enrolling by invitation
CardioMEMS heart pressure monitor study in Medicare patients
This study looks at how well the CardioMEMS heart pressure monitor works for people with heart failure who are on Medicare. It gathers real-world information to see if the sensor helps improve health outcomes.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04329234Recruiting
Heart failure registry study of hospitalized adults
This study collects information from adults hospitalized with heart failure to better understand the condition and outcomes. It may help doctors improve care over time by tracking symptoms, test results, and treatments.
SeongnamAges 18 years+ - NCT06475105RecruitingPhase 4
Acetazolamide and Furosemide for Acute Heart Failure
This trial tests whether adding an oral water pill (acetazolamide) to standard IV furosemide helps people with acute heart failure who have fluid overload. It aims to see if the combination improves outcomes better than furosemide alone.
Semarang, Central JavaAges 18 years+ - NCT06344910Recruiting
Study on messaging heart failure doctors in Amsterdam
This trial tests if sending reminders to doctors can improve care for people with heart failure with reduced pumping function. It aims to help patients get the best treatments.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06228209Recruiting
Palliative care for advanced heart failure or cancer
This study tests whether adding a palliative care specialist to your regular care team can improve your quality of life if you have advanced heart failure or advanced lung or certain gastrointestinal cancers. It is for people who have been in the hospital recently and live in Manhattan.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05089149Recruiting
Check how lung ultrasound helps manage heart failure congestion
This study looks at people with long-term worsening heart failure who are coming to the hospital for a planned visit, to see how checking “congestion” (fluid buildup) may guide care. It may help the team understand whether lung ultrasound can better assess who needs treatment changes.
Vandœuvre-lès-NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT06992089Recruiting
Pacemaker study for heart failure with low heart rate
This trial tests a special pacemaker setting to help your heart beat faster during exercise. It may improve your ability to be active if you have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and a low resting heart rate.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 984 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.
