Recruiting studies
- NCT07094919Recruiting
Corheart 6 heart pump long-term study
This study follows people who have already received the Corheart 6 heart pump to see how well it works over time. You may qualify if you have severe heart failure that doesn't improve with standard treatments and you got the pump after October 1, 2021.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05714085RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Vericiguat study for children with heart failure
This trial tests whether vericiguat helps children with chronic heart failure caused by weaker left heart pumping. It also checks safety and how the medicine behaves in the body (dose and processing).
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT07704424Recruiting
Testing a heart pump for severe right heart failure
This trial is evaluating a new temporary heart pump called CorVad for people who develop severe right heart failure shortly after heart surgery, a heart attack, or a heart transplant. The pump is designed to help the right side of the heart pump blood when medications are not enough.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07206602Recruiting
AI-guided left bundle branch pacing
This trial tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead in the heart's left bundle branch area, guided by artificial intelligence. It aims to improve heart function in people with heart failure who need pacing.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT05764057RecruitingPhase 3
Dapagliflozin to help the heart heal after a heart attack
This trial tests whether dapagliflozin (a diabetes medicine also used for heart protection) can reduce harmful heart “remodeling” after an acute heart attack. It may help your heart function and structure recover over the following 6 months.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06620705Recruiting
Pacing options for AF with low heart function
This trial compares two types of pacing for people with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and a weak heart pump (ejection fraction less than 50%). It tests whether pacing the left bundle branch area works as well as or better than standard biventricular pacing to improve heart function.
Aarhus N, Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT05532631Recruiting
Compare stent procedure versus bypass surgery for weak heart
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow to the heart—using stents through a catheter or bypass surgery—in people with heart muscle weakness and blockages in more than one coronary artery. It may help identify which approach leads to better outcomes over at least two years.
Créteil, Val De MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05828719Recruiting
Compare heart stent treatment vs medicines for weak heart function
This study looks at whether opening blocked heart arteries with a stent (a PCI procedure) works better than staying on heart medicines for people with weakened pumping function and certain types of heart failure. It may help patients by testing which approach best improves outcomes over time.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07701876Recruiting
Heart failure recovery markers study
This study looks for markers in the blood that can predict whether the heart's pumping function improves in people with chronic heart failure. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for each person.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT04396899RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell heart patch for advanced heart failure
This early-phase study tests a lab-made heart tissue (“engineered myocardium”) placed surgically to help the heart work better in people with advanced heart failure. It mainly checks safety first, and also looks for signs the patch can improve heart function in selected patients.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18–80 - NCT05913622Recruiting
Testing heart pump unloading during VA ECMO in adults
This study will look at whether “left ventricular unloading” (using a device like IABP or Impella) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock while on VA ECMO. It compares outcomes for people who get unloading versus those who stay on VA ECMO alone.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT06243653Recruiting
Heart microvessel function test for heart failure recovery
This trial looks at how tiny blood vessels in the heart affect improvement in heart pumping strength for people with heart failure. It tests whether a special procedure during heart catheterization can predict recovery.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07215715Recruiting
Heart ultrasound study for older adults with heart failure
This study uses a special ultrasound to measure heart stiffness in people 60 and older who have heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced pumping function, with or without a condition called ATTR amyloidosis (a protein buildup in the heart). It also includes healthy controls.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 60 years+ - NCT07632586Recruiting
First-in-Human Heart Pump Implant Study
This trial tests a new tiny heart pump called the Icoms Flowmaker for patients with severe heart failure who cannot have a standard heart pump. The device may help your heart pump blood better and improve your ability to do daily activities.
PragueAges 18–80 - NCT07027202Recruiting
Early heart unloading for severe shock after ECMO
This trial tests a possible treatment to help the heart recover faster in people who need ECMO support for severe cardiogenic shock (when the heart can't pump enough blood). The treatment involves early use of a device to reduce pressure on the heart's main pumping chamber.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT07096544Recruiting
Using a lung artery sensor to guide LVAD care
This study tests whether a small sensor (CardioMEMS) implanted in the lung artery can help doctors better manage LVAD settings and reduce hospital visits. It is for people who already have a HeartMate 3 heart pump and are stable enough to go home.
Plano, TexasAges 21–85 - NCT06875258RecruitingPhase 4
Penile rehab after nerve-sparing prostate surgery
This trial tests a penile rehabilitation program for men who have nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery. It aims to help improve erections and sexual function after the procedure.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18–70

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for left ventricular assist device?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting left ventricular assist device 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 left ventricular assist device 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 left ventricular assist device 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.
