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+ - NCT05300997Recruiting
Test blood and antibody markers for suspected acute stroke
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT06010641Recruiting
Head-down position for stroke from large artery blockage
This trial tests if lying with the head lower than the body (head-down position) can help people who are having a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if this simple position improves blood flow and reduces disability.
ShenyangAges 18 years+ - NCT06775782Recruiting
Remote conditioning for moderate stroke from large artery blockage
This trial tests whether a non-invasive arm cuff treatment (remote ischemic conditioning) can help people recover from a moderate stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery. You must start the treatment within 48 hours of your first symptoms.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–85 - NCT07540741Recruiting
PCSK9 Inhibitors for Large-Artery Stroke Recovery
This trial tests whether a cholesterol-lowering medication called evolocumab (a PCSK9 inhibitor) can help people recover better after a specific type of stroke caused by clogged arteries. The study checks if lowering cholesterol further than usual statins do improves stroke outcomes and is safe.
HeilongjiangAges 18–80 - NCT04774159RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose colchicine to lower risk in leg artery disease
This trial tests whether low-dose colchicine can reduce “residual” risk—future heart and blood-vessel problems—in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It targets PAD symptoms and complications like poor blood flow in the legs, even after certain procedures.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06939374Recruiting
Freezing heart arteries to stabilize high-risk plaques
This study tests a special cooling balloon to freeze and stabilize dangerous plaques in heart arteries that are not the main cause of your current symptoms. It aims to prevent future heart attacks.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT07276282RecruitingPhase 3
Ziltivekimab for heart attack patients with artery plaque
This trial tests a new drug called Ziltivekimab to see if it can reduce plaque buildup in the heart arteries after a heart attack. It may help prevent future heart problems by targeting inflammation.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06977295Recruiting
Testing a new software for finding coronary artery disease
This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors see if you have coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart's blood vessels). It looks back at past CT scans of the heart to see if the software works well compared to other tests.
VilleurbanneAges 18 years+ - NCT04674449Recruiting
Tests a targeted plan for people with chest pain from heart artery disease
This study aims to match people with angina (chest pain from heart artery problems) to the most helpful treatment plan based on their test results. It’s done around the time doctors are planning an invasive heart scan to look at the coronary arteries.
CorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07614230RecruitingPhase 4
SGLT2 drugs and heart artery health in diabetes
This study tests whether a diabetes medication called SGLT2 inhibitors can slow the buildup of plaque in heart arteries. Researchers will use special CT scans to track changes in your coronary arteries over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–78 - 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+ - NCT06040073Recruiting
Study of heart artery blockages after heart attack
This study is for people who recently had a heart attack and need an angiogram. It looks at blockages that are not completely blocking blood flow to learn how they change over time.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT04073797Recruiting
PET scan study of inflammation and cholesterol-lowering treatment
This study uses PET/CT and related scans to measure inflammation in artery plaque and how cholesterol-lowering treatment changes it. It may help researchers understand which treatments reduce artery inflammation for people with heart or blood-vessel disease and high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.
CambridgeAges 18–99 - NCT05244629Recruiting
Compare two stents for chronic artery-related gut pain
This trial tests whether an uncovered stent or a covered stent works better for treating chronic mesenteric ischemia (reduced blood flow to the intestines from artery narrowing). It’s meant for adults with symptoms and scans showing significant narrowing in a specific gut artery.
København ØAges 18 years+ - NCT05880641Recruiting
Shockwave balloon treatment for very hard, blocked iliac arteries
This trial tests a device called Shockwave M5+/L6 intravascular lithotripsy to help deliver stent grafts when the iliac (pelvic) arteries are extremely calcified and hard to access. It may help people who are being evaluated for endovascular (through-the-blood-vessel) treatment but whose anatomy makes standard access difficult.
Ancona, AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT05933720Recruiting
Study drug peptides for blocked leg artery disease
This study tests how well a drug called Slavinorm® (regulatory polypeptides) works and is safe for adults with blocked arteries in the legs due to atherosclerosis. You might be considered if you have confirmed leg artery blockage and can safely do a treadmill walking test.
RyazanAges 18–80 - NCT06091319Recruiting
Florbetaben imaging for vascular amyloid after heart or brain event
This trial tests whether florbetaben, a special dye, can show amyloid buildup in blood vessels after a recent heart attack, chest pain episode, or stroke. It aims to help doctors better understand and prevent future events.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06604117Recruiting
Probucol and statins for recent ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether adding probucol to statin therapy can help people who recently had an ischemic stroke caused by hardened arteries. The goal is to see if this combination works better than statins alone for preventing future strokes.
Xicheng District, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT02381301Recruiting
Blood and heart CT scan tests for heart blood-flow markers
This study looks at whether certain lab “biomarkers” and a heart CT scan can help understand heart blood flow in people getting routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA). It may be useful for improving how doctors assess heart health from scan and blood results.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07611747RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound Screening to Prevent Heart Disease in Rheumatic Patients
