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

This study tests a simple method to measure your kidneys' ability to work harder after a protein-rich drink. If you have mild to moderately reduced kidney function, this test may help doctors better understand your 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 trial tests whether it is safe and effective to increase heart failure medications (like ACE inhibitors, ARBs, ARNIs, MRAs, or SGLT-2 inhibitors) without frequent kidney monitoring. It is for people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction who are not yet on full doses of these medicines.
This study tests whether a wearable device that monitors your heart and transmits data to your doctor can help optimize your heart failure medications after hospitalization. The goal is to prevent future hospital visits and improve your health by keeping closer tabs on how your body responds to treatment adjustments.
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 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.
