Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- 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.

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.

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.

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.
Greensboro, North CarolinaAges 65 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.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 50–80 - NCT06455787Recruiting
J-Valve study for leaky aortic valve patients
This study tests a new, less invasive device called J-Valve for people with severe aortic regurgitation (a leaky aortic valve). It is placed through a tube in the leg artery, avoiding open-heart surgery, and may help those who are at high risk for surgery.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 50 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.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18–105 - 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.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges 22 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.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 65–85 - 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.
Asheville, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - 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.

What taking part in a aortic valve 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 valve stenosis clinical trials in North Carolina?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 12 recruiting aortic valve stenosis studies with a site in North Carolina, 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 valve stenosis study in North Carolina?
- 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 North Carolina to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in North Carolina, 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 valve 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.
