Study for HFpEF using heart pressure and energy signals

Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Treatments studied

Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.

This Phase 2 study tests how matching heart “filling pressure” and heart muscle “energy use” may improve understanding or treatment of HFpEF, a type of heart failure with preserved pumping strength. You may be asked to have heart scans/tests and follow a study plan if your symptoms and test results fit.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Who can take part

  • You have heart failure symptoms that are stable and fall in NYHA class II to III
  • Your left heart pumping strength (ejection fraction) is usually 50% or higher
  • You’ve had signs of high filling pressure in the past, based on heart ultrasound, prior invasive measurements, or a recent acute episode needing IV diuretics
  • You can safely do exercise testing (or similar study demands) and are willing to participate
  • Your heart rhythm and blood work are in safe ranges (for example, no uncontrolled fast atrial fibrillation; hemoglobin at least 10)
  • You do not have certain other heart, lung, liver, kidney, or blood conditions that could interfere with study safety

NCT05138575Recruiting· Phase 2
Testing SGLT2 pill and potassium nitrate for heart failure with preserved EF

This trial studies whether two medicines—an SGLT2 inhibitor and potassium nitrate—can improve symptoms and heart function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It focuses on people who still have signs of “stiff” or high filling pressure in the heart despite a normal-ish ejection fraction.

Heart failure study with preserved pumping function

This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.

Exercise training for heart failure with preserved pumping function

This trial tests whether a structured exercise training program can improve symptoms and quality of life in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a condition where the heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. Participants will receive exercise training alongside their usual heart failure medications.

Study drug to boost a hormone system in HFpEF

This early-phase trial tests a treatment that aims to improve the “natriuretic peptide” hormone system in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength). It may help reduce symptoms and improve heart and fluid pressure behavior, especially in certain related conditions like kidney disease.

Heart failure treatment study

This study tests a new drug called finerenone to see if it can improve heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. It may help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
