Petah TikvaAges 18–120 - NCT07453407Recruiting
Tavi valve vs surgery for severe aortic regurgitation
This trial compares a new catheter-based valve (J-Valve) with open-heart surgery for people with severe aortic regurgitation, a condition where the aortic valve doesn't close tightly. It aims to see which treatment is safer and more effective.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 65 years+ - NCT03972644Recruiting
Early valve replacement for people with severe but silent aortic narrowing
This trial tests whether replacing a badly narrowed aortic valve earlier—even when you feel fine—can prevent future heart problems. It compares early valve replacement (through a catheter or surgery) versus standard watchful waiting.
Odense, FynAges 18–85 - NCT04076150Recruiting
Testing a new valve placed through a blood vessel
This study checks whether an “investigational” transcatheter aortic valve is safe and works well for people with severe, calcified aortic stenosis (a stiff, narrowed heart valve). It may help improve valve function and symptoms, but you must meet specific heart, scan, and health-status requirements.
KrakowAges 70 years+ - NCT04861805Recruiting
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement study for high-risk seniors
This study tests a self-expanding artificial aortic valve placed through a blood vessel (no open-heart surgery) in older adults with severe aortic valve narrowing. It may help improve symptoms and heart function by treating the blocked valve.
Bahía BlancaAges 65 years+ - NCT04864145Recruiting
Valve procedure trial for severe leaking aortic valve
This trial studies a less invasive heart valve procedure that places a new valve through a catheter, to treat severe leakage of the aortic valve. It may help people who have symptoms or heart enlargement and who are at higher risk for open-heart surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 60–90 - 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.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT04968509RecruitingPhase 3
PCSK9 shots for calcified aortic valve narrowing
This study tests whether adding PCSK9 inhibitor injections (to statin treatment) can slow or improve calcific aortic valve stenosis, a condition where the heart’s aortic valve becomes stiff and narrowed. It’s aimed at adults with mild-to-moderate disease or certain people with severe disease but no symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - 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.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 50–80 - NCT06153407Recruiting
Genetic test for early valve disease in bicuspid aortic valve
This study looks at how genes may affect the risk of calcium buildup in the aortic valve in people with a bicuspid aortic valve. By joining, you help researchers find better ways to predict and manage this heart condition.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06688448Recruiting
New biologic aortic valve replacement study
This study is testing a new generation of biologic (tissue) replacement valves for the aortic valve in adults aged 18 to 65. It aims to see how well these newer devices work compared to standard options.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT06608823Recruiting
Comparing surgery vs. the Trilogy valve for aortic regurgitation
This trial compares a new less-invasive valve replacement (Trilogy TAVR) with standard open-heart surgery for people with significant aortic regurgitation. It aims to see which treatment works better for patients who are eligible for both procedures.
Burlingame, CaliforniaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50 years+ - NCT06722066Recruiting
TAVR and heart valve calcium study
This study looks at how calcium buildup in the aortic valve affects long-term results after a TAVR procedure (a minimally invasive heart valve replacement). It may help doctors understand which patients do better over time.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06830499Recruiting
Sapien 3 valve for younger Chinese patients with severe aortic stenosis
This trial tests a newer artificial heart valve (Sapien 3) placed through a small tube in the leg, for younger people (50–70) with severe aortic stenosis. It aims to see if this less invasive option works well in this age group.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 50–70 - NCT06924151Recruiting
Surgery for Aortic Valve in Low Risk Patients
This trial tests if surgery to replace your aortic valve is safe and effective for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for complications. It compares surgery to another procedure to see which works best.
Nagoya, Aichi-kenAges Any age - NCT07145463Recruiting
New delivery system for severe aortic stenosis treatment
This trial tests a new delivery system (VitaFlow Liberty Flex) for placing a replacement aortic valve in people with severe aortic stenosis. It is designed for patients whose heart anatomy (a steep angle between the heart and aorta) makes the procedure more challenging.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07276711Recruiting
Protecting brain during TAVR with EmStop device
This trial tests a new device (EmStop) that helps protect your brain during TAVR (a type of heart valve replacement). The device is placed in arteries to catch any debris that might break loose during the procedure, potentially reducing the risk of stroke.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 22 years+ - NCT07620925Recruiting
Aortic Valve Calcium Score Study Using Heart Ultrasound
This study develops and tests a new way to diagnose severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) by measuring calcium buildup on the valve using heart ultrasound. If you're already getting both an ultrasound and a CT scan of your heart, this study compares how well the ultrasound method can identify severe stenosis.
BolognaAges 18 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.
