Aortic Stenosis clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 14 recruiting aortic stenosis studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 2 and Phase 2/Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT03003299Recruiting
Valve replacement for failing aortic bioprosthetic valves
This trial studies a new “valve-in-valve” procedure to treat a failing aortic bioprosthetic valve. It may help people improve blood flow through the heart valve and reduce valve-related problems.
Austin, TexasAges Any age - NCT04889872Recruiting
Watchful waiting or TAVR for moderate aortic valve narrowing
This study compares regular monitoring (“clinical surveillance”) versus replacing the aortic valve using a minimally invasive procedure called TAVR for people with moderate aortic stenosis. It aims to see which approach better reduces symptoms or heart damage over time.
Houston, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT06171737Enrolling by invitation
Shared decision-making for severe aortic stenosis
This study tests a way to help people with severe aortic stenosis make informed choices about treatment. It may help you talk with your heart team about options like valve replacement.
Dallas, TexasAges 65–85 - NCT05646381RecruitingPhase 2
Drug study to slow hardening of aortic valve disease
This Phase 2 trial tests pelacarsen (TQJ230), a medication that lowers a blood fat called lipoprotein(a), to see if it slows progression of calcific aortic valve stenosis. It may help people whose valve narrowing is starting to become more severe, especially when their lipoprotein(a) level is high.
Houston, TexasAges 50–80 - NCT06749145Enrolling by invitation
Using deep learning to find aortic stenosis earlier
This study tests if a deep learning tool can help detect aortic stenosis, a heart valve condition, in older adults during routine primary care visits. If you are 70 or older and have not had a recent echocardiogram, you may be able to join.
Houston, TexasAges 70 years+ - NCT06749132Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered monitoring for mild aortic valve disease
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to analyze past heart ultrasound images and predict if your aortic valve condition (mild thickening or narrowing) may get worse over time. The goal is to catch changes early and personalize your follow-up care.
Houston, TexasAges 65 years+ - NCT04634240Recruiting
Staged heart bypass plus TAVR versus TAVR alone
This study compares doing a staged coronary bypass (revascularization) along with a valve procedure (TAVR) versus doing TAVR and medical treatment alone. It aims to see which approach better helps people with both aortic valve narrowing and coronary artery disease.
Plano, TexasAges Any age - NCT07001800RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Slowing aortic valve disease with ataciguat
This trial tests a new pill, ataciguat, to slow down the progression of moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis (a condition where your aortic valve stiffens). If you have moderate valve narrowing and meet the other criteria, participation could help find a way to delay needing surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 50 years+ - NCT05932615Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new transcatheter valve for aortic valve narrowing
This trial studies how safe and effective the NAVITOR valve is for treating narrowed aortic valves placed through a catheter (no open-heart surgery). It may be an option if you’re at intermediate-to-low surgical risk and meet heart ultrasound/CT measurements.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06777368Recruiting
Redo TAVR for failed transcatheter aortic valves
This trial tests a second transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure for patients whose first TAVR valve is failing. It focuses on structural problems inside the valve, not leakage around it.
Austin, TexasAges 18–105 - NCT05172973Recruiting
New valve procedure for failing aortic bioprosthetic valves
This trial studies whether a new transcatheter aortic valve (SAPIEN X4) is safe and works well in people whose previously implanted aortic valve is now failing. It may help reduce valve symptoms in higher-surgery-risk patients who are not good candidates for open-heart valve replacement.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT05172960Recruiting
Study of a new heart valve for severe aortic stenosis
This trial tests a new version of a heart valve (SAPIEN X4) placed without open-heart surgery. It's for people with severe aortic stenosis who have symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain.
Dallas, TexasAges Any age - NCT06828770Recruiting
Minima stent system long-term safety study
This study checks the safety of the Minima Stent System over time. It is for people who need a stent to keep their blood vessel open. The study wants to see how the device works in real-world use.
Austin, TexasAges Any age - NCT05862558Recruiting
Lithotripsy to open blocked, calcified artery for TAVR
This trial tests whether a treatment called intravascular lithotripsy (using sound waves from inside a blood vessel) can help widen severely calcified, narrowed iliac arteries so a TAVR procedure can be done through the groin. It may help some people who are considered “high risk” for access, based on CT scan findings.

What taking part in a aortic stenosis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there aortic stenosis clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 14 recruiting aortic stenosis studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a aortic stenosis study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a aortic stenosis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New aortic stenosis studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
