Recruiting studies
- NCT07077811Enrolling by invitation
Pulsed field ablation for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation for people who have both persistent atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure (HFpEF). It aims to see if this ablation safely helps control the heart rhythm.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06833138Recruiting
Pacing vs medication for heart rate control in AF with heart failure
This trial tests whether a procedure that regulates your heart rhythm (pacing) works better than medication for people who have permanent atrial fibrillation, heart failure with a normal pumping strength, and were hospitalized for heart failure in the past year.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06128980RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Stopping heart meds after recovery from fast heartbeat damage
This trial tests if patients whose heart function returned to normal after treating a fast heartbeat can safely stop their heart failure medications. It aims to see if treatment can be withdrawn without the heart problems coming back.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–84 - NCT05114850Recruiting

Dapagliflozin trial for kidney and heart outcomes in severe CKD
This study tests whether dapagliflozin can improve kidney and heart-related outcomes in people with severe chronic kidney disease (CKD). You would take the study medicine (or a comparison treatment) and be followed to see how your kidneys and heart do over time.
Canberra, Australian Capital TeritoryAges 18 years+ - NCT06979375RecruitingPhase 2
Study of CDR132L for heart failure with reduced pumping ability and thickened heart muscle
This trial tests a new medicine called CDR132L to see if it improves heart structure and function in people with heart failure who have a thickened heart muscle and reduced pumping ability. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the study drug or a placebo.
Concord, New South WalesAges 40–84 - NCT07112391Recruiting
Pressure volume loop study for valve disease
This trial uses a special heart test called pressure volume loop assessment to better understand how well your heart pumps when you have severe valve disease. It aims to find patterns that may help doctors treat you more effectively. You may join if you have certain types of severe heart valve problems.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 18 years+ - NCT06088212Recruiting
Heart failure treatment to help thinking and memory
This trial tests whether better managing heart failure after a hospital stay can protect against thinking and memory problems. It is for people who have heart failure and have had some cognitive difficulties.
Hobart, TasmaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07515508Recruiting
Understanding heart failure patterns in hospitalized patients
This study investigates different types of acute heart failure in hospitalized patients to better understand their condition and improve treatment. Researchers will use multiple imaging and testing methods to create a detailed picture of each patient's heart failure.
Bad KrozingenAges 18 years+ - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 60 years+ - NCT05553886RecruitingPhase 3
Tablets for chronic heart failure with low pumping strength
This Phase 3 study tests whether S086 tablets can improve treatment for people with chronic heart failure where the heart pumps weakly. You may be eligible if your heart failure symptoms are moderate to severe and your condition is stable on current medicines, but not if you’ve recently had certain heart events or can’t take related blood-pressure/heart drugs.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07202000RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise and a drug to reduce inflammation for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This trial tests whether combining exercise with a medication that blocks a protein called activin can reduce inflammation, improve heart function, and help with thinking in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT06414759RecruitingPhase 4
Combination diuretic therapy for heart failure fluid overload
This trial tests a combination of water pills (diuretics) to help remove extra fluid in people hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (sudden worsening of heart failure). It aims to find a safe and effective way to reduce swelling and fluid buildup.
Giza, GZAges 18–65 - NCT06560762RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06670001Recruiting
Increasing daily steps in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
This study tests if simple rewards and reminders on a smartphone can help people with a certain type of heart failure (HFpEF) become more physically active. The goal is to see if increasing daily steps improves their health and well-being.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07164911Recruiting

Atrial fibrillation care program to prevent heart failure in rural China
This trial tests a new way of caring for older adults with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) in rural villages to help prevent heart failure. Trained village doctors will use telemedicine (remote healthcare) to manage your condition.
Yancheng, DongtaiAges 65–80 - NCT04982419RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Remote arm treatment to protect heart and kidneys in heart failure
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 985 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.
