Study of a new drug for heart failure with preserved pumping ability
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an investigational drug for people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but is stiff. The goal is to see if the drug can improve symptoms and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure for at least 6 months and are in a stable condition (NYHA Class II or III).
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is 50% or higher.
- You have had previous tests showing signs of heart failure.
- Your bone marrow and major organs (like kidneys and liver) are working well enough.
- You have been on stable heart failure medications for at least 30 days.

This trial studies people who have heart failure symptoms but whose heart pumping strength is largely preserved. It aims to better understand this specific type of heart failure and how best to treat or evaluate it.
This study tests an investigational medication called elecoglipron to see if it can improve heart and blood vessel outcomes in people with heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction. If you join, you will receive either the study drug or a placebo, and your heart health will be monitored over time.
This trial tests an investigational drug called VS-041 to see if it's safe and helps people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have stable heart failure symptoms.
This trial uses a special heart MRI to create pressure-volume loops in people with heart failure who have a normal pumping strength (ejection fraction of 50% or higher). It aims to better understand heart function and could help guide future treatments. You may qualify if you have heart failure symptoms and specific heart structure or function changes.
This study looks at whether fat around the heart affects a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You may be able to join if you have this condition, are 18 or older, and can understand English.
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.
