Exercise and a drug to reduce inflammation for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining exercise with a medication that blocks a protein called activin can reduce inflammation, improve heart function, and help with thinking in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years or older.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be 27 or higher.
- You must have a type of heart failure called HFpEF, where your heart pumps normally but is stiff.
- You need to be able to walk and do exercise tests like a 6-minute walk.
- Your medications must be stable for at least 30 days before starting the trial.

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.
This trial tests a program that combines home-based and clinic-based exercise coaching to help people with heart failure get more active. It aims to improve health and quality of life.
This study tests whether a specific lower-body exercise method using negative pressure (leg suction) can improve symptoms and heart-related function in people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You may also be offered screening if you are a healthy person, to compare results.
This trial tests if using a combination of biomarkers can help personalize treatment for people with a specific type of heart failure called HFpEF (or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction). It aims to find better treatments based on your individual test results.
This study looks at how well blood flow is regulated in people with HFpEF, a type of heart failure where the heart squeezes normally but doesn’t fill properly. It may help researchers understand the cause of symptoms and how to improve treatment strategies.
This study tests a tailored exercise program for veterans who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It aims to see if a personalized rehab plan can improve your heart function and quality of life.
