Inorganic nitrate plus exercise for heart failure performance
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking inorganic nitrate can improve exercise ability and heart-function symptoms in people with heart failure with reduced pumping. It also checks whether the treatment is safe when combined with an exercise program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 to 79 when you sign consent
- You have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (your heart pumps out less blood)
- At the start, your symptoms are NYHA Class II to III (moderate limits with activity)
- Your echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) shows ejection fraction below 45%
- Your heart-failure medicines have been stable for about 2 months (no major changes)
- You can attend exercise testing and agree to study rules without a legally authorized representative

This study tests an experimental medicine called NNC0537-1482 for people with heart failure. It aims to see if the medicine helps improve symptoms and heart function.
This study tests whether a new medication called NNC0487-0111 can help people with heart failure who also have obesity. Researchers will compare it to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it improves heart function and overall health.
This study tests whether adding a natural nitrate supplement to a supervised exercise program can boost the health benefits of exercise in older adults. It will compare exercise plus supplement versus exercise plus placebo to see which improves fitness and heart health more.
This study looks at how tired your muscles get during physical activity when you have heart failure. You will be asked to do some exercise tests so the researchers can understand muscle fatigue better, which may help improve future treatments.
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
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.
