Home water-pill pump vs hospital care for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if people with heart failure can go home early and use a small, wearable device that gives water pills under the skin, instead of staying in the hospital for IV treatment. It might save you from a long hospital stay if you are stable enough for home care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are in the hospital or emergency room for heart failure and need IV water pills for at least another day.
- You have a safe home and can (or have help to) operate a small device that delivers medicine under your skin.
- You do not need very high doses of IV water pills (over 250 mg per day).
- Your kidneys are working well enough (eGFR above 20).

This study tests a way to give a common water pill (called Lasix, or furosemide) under the skin using a small pump at home, instead of in the hospital. It may help people with heart failure who have fluid buildup that isn't getting better with oral water pills.
This trial tests a device designed to safely remove extra fluid from patients hospitalized with worsening heart failure. It may help those who are not responding well to standard water pills (diuretics).
This trial tests a device to help the kidneys remove excess fluid in people hospitalized for worsening heart failure who are not responding well to standard diuretic (water pill) therapy. It aims to improve heart and kidney function.
This trial tests if adding a diuretic (water pill) called acetazolamide to usual care can help you get rid of extra fluid faster while you are in the hospital for worsening heart failure.
This trial tests a new way to adjust diuretic (water pill) doses based on urine sodium levels in patients hospitalized for worsening heart failure. The goal is to improve fluid removal and get patients home sooner.
This trial tests a program to manage heart failure at home after you leave the hospital. It aims to safely adjust your medications to optimal doses while you recover at home.
