Recruiting studies
- NCT07878325Recruiting
Specialized heart and diabetes clinic for people with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests a specialized clinic that combines diabetes and heart care for people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart or blood vessel problems. The clinic will also check for unrecognized heart failure to improve overall health.
SvendborgAges 18 years+ - NCT04749927Recruiting
Image-based eye photos to study heart blood-vessel risks
This study uses deep learning (computer pattern recognition) to analyze retinal photos (pictures of the eye’s blood vessels). It aims to link what’s seen in the eye to heart and blood-vessel disease patterns, especially in people with higher cardiovascular risk.
SeoulAges 20–79 - NCT05932472RecruitingPhase 4
Compare taking aspirin in the morning vs bedtime
This trial studies whether taking your daily aspirin in the morning or at bedtime changes heart and circulation outcomes. It is meant to see if timing matters for people who already take aspirin every day.
HellerupAges 18 years+ - NCT07837934RecruitingPhase 2
Colchicine to prevent heart disease in adults with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether a daily low-dose of colchicine, a common anti-inflammatory medicine, can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with type 2 diabetes who do not yet have heart disease. If it works, it could be a simple addition to your current diabetes care.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT07783802RecruitingPhase 2
Study of clazakizumab for adults with high inflammation and heart risk
This study tests whether clazakizumab can reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes in people with high levels of inflammation (measured by a blood test called hsCRP) and conditions like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease. If you qualify, you'll receive either the study drug or a placebo to see if it helps lower your risk.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07665034Recruiting
Isometric exercise for high blood pressure and artery health
This study tests whether a specific type of exercise (isometric exercise) can help slow down the buildup of plaque in arteries (atherosclerosis) in people with high blood pressure. Participants will do the exercise while keeping their blood pressure medication the same, and will be checked with ultrasound and blood pressure monitoring over about 6 months to a year.
ShatinAges 18–80 - NCT06871514Recruiting
Decision support for managing heart disease risk
This trial tests a decision-support tool to help manage cardiovascular risk in people with established heart or blood vessel disease. It aims to improve treatment plans and outcomes.
AlkmaarAges 40–80 - NCT07303777RecruitingPhase 2
Study of ABP-745 for people with atherosclerosis
This trial tests a new medication called ABP-745 to see if it helps people with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). It is for people who are already taking a cholesterol-lowering medicine and who have had a special heart artery X-ray (coronary angiography).
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07296965Recruiting
Oral bacteria in carotid artery plaque study
This study looks at the bacteria living in your mouth and whether they are linked to plaque buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck). If you are already scheduled for surgery to remove that plaque, the researchers will take samples from your mouth and the plaque to compare them.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06541691Recruiting
Aspirin for heart disease patients in polluted air
This study tests if different types of aspirin (coated or chewable) and a special schedule can help people with heart or blood vessel disease when they are exposed to air pollution. If you live in Tehran and have stable heart disease, you may be able to join.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT07241390RecruitingPhase 3
Study of orforglipron for heart and kidney health.
This trial tests if orforglipron can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure in people with heart disease or chronic kidney disease.
Bahía BlancaAges 50 years+ - NCT07237685Recruiting
Diabetes and heart artery plaque progression study
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06606821RecruitingPhase 4
Tirzepatide for heart health in people with overweight or obesity
This trial tests the weight‑loss medication tirzepatide (Mounjaro) in people who are overweight or have obesity and have stable coronary artery disease. The goal is to see if tirzepatide can reduce dangerous fatty plaque in heart arteries.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06535568Recruiting
Comparing one vs two blood thinners after heart artery balloon treatment
This trial tests whether taking just one blood thinner (clopidogrel) is as safe and effective as taking two (clopidogrel plus aspirin) for older adults or people at high bleeding risk who have had a drug-coated balloon procedure to open blocked heart arteries.
Milan, MIAges Any age - NCT05677386Enrolling by invitation
CT heart scan trial to prevent first heart problems
This trial uses a special CT scan of the heart’s arteries to better predict who is at risk of future heart problems. It may help your care team decide how best to lower risk early.
CopenhagenAges 40 years+ - NCT06126367Recruiting
Study on lipoprotein(a) and clot breakdown in heart disease
This trial looks at how a type of fat in the blood called lipoprotein(a) and your body's ability to break down clots affect heart disease or heart valve disease. It is for people who are already taking certain cholesterol-lowering medicines or have severe aortic valve narrowing from calcium buildup.
StevenageAges 18 years+ - NCT05416385Recruiting
Stress echo scan with special contrast to study carotid plaque
This study uses a heart stress ultrasound test, plus a contrast dye, to look for new blood vessel growth inside carotid plaque (the buildup in neck arteries). It may help doctors better judge the risk of stroke and determine which people need closer care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07263113Recruiting
Gum disease and heart health study
This study looks at whether severe gum disease (periodontitis) is linked to stiffer arteries and higher heart risk. If you have advanced gum disease or healthy gums, you may be able to join to help researchers understand this connection.
NantesAges 40–69 - NCT07104487RecruitingPhase 2
PET/MRI scan to detect inflammation in carotid artery disease
This study tests whether a special type of PET/MRI scan can help doctors see inflammation in the carotid artery after a stroke or mini-stroke. By using a radioactive tracer, the scan may identify which patients have dangerous plaque buildup that could lead to another stroke.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07361887Recruiting
Moderate wine and healthy aging study
This study tests whether moderate wine consumption can help healthy aging by looking at tiny particles in your blood after a meal. It may help you understand how wine affects your body's cells.
Seville, SevillaAges 35–36 - NCT06488105RecruitingPhase 2
ER Heart Risk Check for Cholesterol Study
This trial tests a new way to check heart risk and start treatment for cholesterol in people coming to the emergency room with chest pain or possible heart attack. It aims to see if early risk assessment and treatment can prevent future heart problems.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 40–75 - NCT07772570Recruiting
Studying blood markers in coronary artery disease
This study collects blood samples and images from patients with heart muscle damage or those undergoing coronary angiography. The goal is to find new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 69 recruiting atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
