New heart pump trial offers hope for End-Stage heart failure patients
NCT ID NCT05353816
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing a new mechanical heart pump called the Corheart 6 in 50 people with end-stage heart failure. The pump is implanted to help the heart circulate blood. Researchers are checking if the device works safely and effectively at 3 months and 2 years after implantation, focusing on survival without major stroke or device problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Corheart 6 Left Ventricular Assist Device (a mechanical heart pump)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a reliable, long-term option to keep people with severe heart failure alive and active while they wait for a transplant or as a permanent solution.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include stroke, device failure, or infection, and the device requires ongoing medical management.
