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 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.
This study tests an investigational medicine called EDG-15400 for people with a type of heart failure where the heart muscle is stiff and doesn't relax properly, even though the pumping function is normal. The goal is to see if the medicine improves symptoms and daily functioning.
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 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.
