Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06310031Recruiting
Testing BrioVAD heart pump for severe heart failure
This trial tests a new left-ventricular assist device (LVAD) called BrioVAD for people with advanced heart failure who are not getting enough benefit from medicines. If you qualify, the device is implanted to help your heart pump blood.
Plano, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT06424288RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vicadrostat plus empagliflozin for heart failure
This study tests whether adding a new study drug called vicadrostat to the standard heart failure medicine empagliflozin helps people with heart failure. It may be a good option if you have heart failure with preserved pumping function and are not already on a medicine called an MRA.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06831825RecruitingPhase 1
Gene therapy for heart failure recovery trial
This trial tests a gene therapy injected into the heart to help it recover after a previous heart attack. It may be an option for people with stable heart failure who are not eligible for standard procedures like stents or bypass surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18–79 - NCT06895070Recruiting
Heart transplant study using a special preservation machine
This trial tests a special machine that preserves donor hearts for longer periods before transplant. It may help people waiting for a heart transplant who need a heart from a donor that may be older or has some heart risks.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05610787Enrolling by invitation
Testing a device that helps move an EXCOR pediatric heart pump
This trial studies an “active driving” system that controls the EXCOR pediatric heart pump. It’s meant for children who need a heart pump as a bridge to heart transplantation, to help the pump work more safely and effectively.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 21 years - NCT05285878Enrolling by invitationPhase 2

What taking part in a transplant; failure, heart study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
