Massive heart failure platform trial aims to find better treatments
NCT ID NCT07428135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This platform trial will enroll 1,000 adults with heart failure to test several different treatments at the same time. Participants are randomly assigned to either an experimental intervention or standard care. The main goal is to see if these treatments can prevent death or hospitalization due to heart problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Various interventions (drugs, devices, or procedures) tested within the platform; details depend on the specific domain.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this platform could identify effective treatments to reduce death and hospitalizations for people with heart failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a platform trial that hasn't started recruiting yet. Results depend on which interventions are tested, and many may not prove effective.

Inclusion Criteria (HEART Platform) * Participants are eligible for inclusion if they meet all of the following: * Age ≥18 years (or legal age of majority in participant's country of residence). * Diagnosis of heart failure, and eligible to be classified into one of the HEART platform states at the time of randomization: * State 1: Worsening Heart Failure (WHF): currently hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure or emergency department patients requiring intravenous therapy for heart failure; OR * State 2: Ambulatory Heart Failure: stable outpatients with established heart failure diagnosis, receiving ongoing HF management and without HF hospitalization within the prior 30 days. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent (or consent via a legally authorized representative, where applicable). * Meets all applicable domain-specific eligibility criteria for at least one active HEART Platform domain at the time of screening/randomization. Exclusion Criteria (HEART Platform) * Participants will be excluded if any of the following apply: * Inability to provide informed consent (and no legally authorized representative available when applicable). * Not eligible for assignment to either HEART platform state (State 1 or State 2). * Presence of conditions or circumstances that, in the investigator's opinion, would make study participation unsafe or not feasible (e.g., inability to comply with study procedures or follow-up). * Does not meet the eligibility requirements for any active HEART Platform domain. * Any domain-specific exclusion criteria applicable to the intervention/domain(s) for which the participant would otherwise be eligible. * Additional inclusion and exclusion criteria apply for each individual HEART Platform domain and will be specified in the relevant domain protocol(s).
