Recruiting studies
- NCT05303896Recruiting
Study changes in remodeling heart tissue before transplant
This study looks at how the heart’s structure changes (“remodeling”) in people with heart failure who are being considered for a heart transplant. It may help doctors better understand what is happening in the failing heart and how to treat it.
Oslo, OsloAges 18–100 - NCT06690684Enrolling by invitation
Finding new blood markers for heart disease
This study is looking for people who have had a heart attack or have heart failure to discover new markers in your blood that could help doctors better understand and treat heart disease. By collecting samples and health data, researchers hope to find clues that improve care for future patients.
Shanghai, Jing 'an DistrictAges 30 years+ - NCT05958706Recruiting
Testing how heart cells use fuel in heart failure
This study looks at how the heart uses energy fuel in people with heart failure, including those with type 2 diabetes. It may help researchers understand what’s going on inside the heart and how it could be treated in the future.
DüsseldorfAges 20–85 - NCT05775354Enrolling by invitation
Early heart disease check-in in adults age 50–80
This study aims to improve early detection of heart and blood vessel problems by adding further research after routine care. It may help you by making sure your heart risk is monitored more closely, if you’re eligible and agree to the additional steps.
UtrechtAges 50–80 - NCT03549559Recruiting
Heart imaging study in healthy people and specific conditions
This study uses heart imaging to look at changes in the heart muscle. It includes healthy volunteers and people with diabetes or aortic stenosis, to understand differences seen on scans.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT04471129Recruiting

This study tests whether two noninvasive breathing/oxygen treatments after cardiac surgery help improve heart function. It may benefit people with weak pumping function who are recovering in the hospital and can safely use these devices.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT04180085RecruitingPhase 2
Belatacept to protect kidneys in heart transplant patients
This trial studies whether belatacept can be used after a heart transplant to help protect kidney function over time. It focuses on people who already have (or are at risk for) worsening kidney function after transplant, while avoiding those with certain infections or rejection concerns.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06307262Recruiting
European registry for tricuspid valve repair
This trial is a registry that collects information on patients who have had a minimally invasive procedure to fix a leaky tricuspid valve. By joining, you help doctors learn more about how well these devices work over time.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06634121Recruiting
Comparing MitraClip and PASCAL for mitral valve repair
This trial compares two devices (MitraClip and PASCAL) for repairing a leaky mitral valve (mitral regurgitation). The goal is to see which device works better in a wide range of patients who need this type of repair.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07531966Recruiting
Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07345533Recruiting
Heart Failure Monitoring with a Chest Sensor
This study tests a small chest sensor that tracks your heart activity while you're in the hospital. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and prevent future crises.
CaenAges 18–90 - NCT07343895Recruiting
Atrial fibrillation screening in people with high NT-proBNP
This study is checking people over 40 who have a higher-than-average heart stress marker (NT-proBNP) to see if they have undiagnosed atrial fibrillation. You'll use a smartphone to track your heart rhythm at home.
TromsøAges 40 years+ - NCT07010562Recruiting
Heart pressure test data collection study
This study looks at people having a right heart catheterization to learn more about heart function. It is observational, meaning no treatments are given—it just gathers information that might help improve care.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05972070Recruiting
Telemedicine home cardiac rehab after heart procedure
This trial studies whether cardiac rehabilitation done at home, with help from telemedicine, is safe and helps you stick with the program after a recent heart procedure. It may help you recover with more convenience while still improving heart-related fitness and adherence.
Brookfield, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06049420Recruiting
Lifestyle medicine for rural patients with chronic disease
This trial tests whether exercise therapy can help people with two or more chronic conditions like obesity, diabetes, or heart disease. It's designed for rural patients and requires a referral from your doctor.
Lewisburg, West VirginiaAges 18–64 - NCT05641662Recruiting
Video games that get you moving for heart failure inactivity
This study tests whether playing “exergames” (motion-based video games) can help people with heart failure who are mostly inactive spend less time sitting. It checks whether the games are safe and practical and whether they can improve activity over time.
PortoAges 18 years+ - NCT03383419RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07192211RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ADR-002K for Heart Failure Patients Having Bypass Surgery
This study tests an experimental drug (ADR-002K) for people with heart failure caused by blocked arteries who are about to have bypass surgery. The goal is to see if it helps the heart recover better after surgery.
Osaka, SuitaAges 18–80 - NCT06659952Recruiting
HIV+ donor hearts for HIV+ recipients
This trial tests whether hearts from donors who had HIV can be safely transplanted into people with HIV who need a heart transplant. It may offer a new option for those on the waiting list.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05868616Recruiting
Checking heart resynchronization timing with a noninvasive test
This trial evaluates a noninvasive way to assess who should get Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT), and to check results after implantation. If you fit the heart rhythm and heart pump criteria, the approach may help confirm whether CRT is appropriate for you.
OsloAges 18–80 - NCT06371937Recruiting
Heart and blood vessel disease biobank study
This study creates a collection of skin cells (turned into stem cells in a lab) from people with various heart and blood vessel conditions. It aims to find new ways to understand and treat these diseases.

Heart MRI stress test for Fontan circulation
This study uses a special heart MRI with a medicine that stresses the heart (like exercise) to look at blood flow in people who have had the Fontan surgery. The goal is to better understand how the heart works after this surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart failure?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 949 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.
