A study of a new drug for heart failure with obesity
This trial tests a medication called maridebart cafraglutide for people with heart failure (where the heart doesn't pump as well as it should) and obesity. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms and outcomes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–99 - NCT07038356RecruitingPhase 3
Continuing empagliflozin during heart failure hospitalizations
This study tests whether continuing empagliflozin (a heart failure medicine) during a hospital stay for heart failure is beneficial compared to stopping it. Participation may help improve recovery and reduce complications.
Jena, ThuringiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05448833Recruiting
Testing a wireless sensor to monitor left heart pressure
This study tests whether a small wireless sensor can safely measure and track pressure in the left upper heart chamber in people with advanced chronic heart failure. It may help the care team better understand pressure changes that are linked to fluid buildup and symptoms, alongside your usual heart medicines.
Petah TikvaAges 22–88 - NCT07023536Recruiting
Heart rehab program from home for chronic heart failure
This trial tests a cardiac telerehabilitation program for people with chronic heart failure. It is designed to see if doing rehab at home using digital tools helps improve health and quality of life.
SalernoAges 18 years+ - NCT04962711Recruiting
Risk-guided plan to prevent heart failure after cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a personalized, risk-based heart care plan can help prevent heart failure in people who had certain cancer treatments. It focuses on monitoring and guiding treatment, using heart ultrasound results and other health factors.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 40–85 - NCT07008365RecruitingPhase 3
Measuring belly pressure and ultrasound to guide fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
ZaragozaAges 18–100 - NCT06999369Enrolling by invitation
Heart failure nutrition app study
This study tests a digital nutrition tool to help people with heart failure improve their health. It is for patients recently hospitalized or seeing their doctor regularly.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT06993220Recruiting
