Transdermal GFR system to check kidney function in heart failure
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a sensor placed on the skin to measure kidney function in adults with heart failure. It may help understand how well the kidneys are working without repeated blood draws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have symptomatic heart failure (Stage C or D, meaning you have shortness of breath, swelling, or fatigue)
- You have evidence of heart failure from tests like an echocardiogram or a high NT-proBNP/BNP level
- You are not allergic to iohexol, relmapirazin, or adhesives
- You have no severe fluid buildup (like Grade 3-4 edema or ascites)
- You are willing to use birth control if needed

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well your kidneys respond to a protein 'challenge' (a special drink or meal) by measuring what is called 'renal reserve.' It may help doctors better understand kidney function and could be useful for monitoring kidney health.
This study checks how safe a small heart-pressure monitoring device is for people with advanced heart failure and severe kidney problems. It looks at whether doctors can continuously track heart filling/pressure to help manage symptoms and reduce risks.
This study tests a remote monitoring device that sends information to your care team to help adjust your heart failure medications. It aims to improve your condition after a hospital stay for heart failure.
This trial tests whether safely increasing the dose of standard heart failure medications can improve outcomes in people with a weak heart pump, while keeping a close eye on kidney function. It may be a good fit if you have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and are not yet on the highest recommended doses of your medicines.
This trial tests a new device that measures fluid in your lungs without needles or surgery. It may help your doctor manage heart failure better, especially if you've been in the hospital recently or have symptoms like shortness of breath.
This study tests whether a small wireless sensor can safely measure and track pressure in the left upper heart chamber in people with advanced chronic heart failure. It may help the care team better understand pressure changes that are linked to fluid buildup and symptoms, alongside your usual heart medicines.
