Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT07232069RecruitingPhase 3
Early heart disease trial for women and men with mild plaque buildup
This trial tests whether two medicines, a statin and colchicine, can slow or stop early heart artery plaque from growing in people who have mild plaque but no heart disease symptoms yet. It uses special CT scans to measure plaque over 2 years.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–60 - NCT05994014Recruiting
Comparing two heart scans for artery blockages
This study compares two types of heart scans to see which one better finds blockages in the arteries of people with chest discomfort or shortness of breath when active. You will have both a special CT scan and a PET/CT scan to check the health of your heart arteries.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06676046Recruiting
Study of rare cholesterol and fat disorders
This study looks at people with rare or unusual cholesterol, fat, or heart-related conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and improve testing. You do not need to have a known diagnosis to join initially.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 10–90 - NCT02915198RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin for prediabetes to reduce heart and blood-vessel events
This trial tests whether taking metformin in people with prediabetes can lower the chance of future heart attack, stroke, or other blood-vessel problems. You may be a good fit if you have prediabetes plus existing cardiovascular disease or significant blood-vessel disease.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05440422RecruitingPhase 2
Anifrolumab for heart health in lupus patients
This study tests whether anifrolumab, a drug that targets the immune system, can improve markers of blood vessel health in people with lupus. It may help reduce the risk of heart problems associated with lupus.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT01399385Recruiting
New heart imaging to detect heart disease
This study tests new imaging techniques, like MRI and CT scans, to better see heart and blood vessel problems. It may help doctors find heart disease earlier and guide treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00353782Recruiting
Studying causes and course of lipid disorders
This study looks at the causes and natural history of different types of lipid disorders (abnormal cholesterol and fat levels in the blood). It aims to understand why these conditions happen and how they affect health over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT01143454Recruiting
Study unusual heart conditions and related genetic traits
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.

What taking part in a atherosclerosis 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 atherosclerosis clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting atherosclerosis studies with a site in Maryland, 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 atherosclerosis study in Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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 atherosclerosis 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.
