Recruiting studies near Raleigh–Durham
- NCT05712200RecruitingPhase 3
Abelacimab for atrial fibrillation when blood thinners aren’t suitable
This Phase 3 study tests whether abelacimab can prevent stroke and other blood-clot problems in people with atrial fibrillation (or atrial flutter) who cannot safely take usual mouth blood thinners. It also looks at safety, especially bleeding risk.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 65 years+ - NCT07523750Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
This study tests two types of pulsed field ablation catheters to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem lasting more than 7 days but less than a year. The goal is to see if these catheters can safely and effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT04045665RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner vs usual care for new heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether using a blood thinner in people with new, temporary atrial fibrillation after CABG (heart bypass surgery) can reduce harmful outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help prevent stroke or other complications if your rhythm problem fits the trial’s timing and risk profile.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07625215RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BAY 3670549 for Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation
This study tests a new drug called BAY 3670549 to see if it can help convert atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) back to normal rhythm. You'll receive the study drug or a placebo along with a procedure to restore your heart's normal rhythm, and researchers will monitor how well it works and how safe it is.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT06578104Recruiting
Pulsed AF Study: PulseSelect Catheter for Afib
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (Afib) using a special catheter system called PulseSelect that delivers short bursts of energy to create scar tissue in the heart. It is for people whose Afib comes and goes or stays for a while but not more than a year, and who have not had a prior ablation procedure or have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07217067RecruitingPhase 2
Study of PKN605 for people with atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new medicine called PKN605 for people with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). The goal is to see if it can safely help control heart rhythm. You will need to have had at least two AF episodes recently and meet other heart health criteria.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03907046RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner study to prevent stroke after brain bleed
This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05836987RecruitingPhase 3
Smartwatch-guided blood thinners for intermittent atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether using a smartwatch to monitor your heartbeat can safely guide when to take blood thinners. If you have intermittent atrial fibrillation, you may be able to avoid taking blood thinners when your heart rhythm is normal.

What taking part in a atrial fibrillation 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.
