Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03582800RecruitingPhase 2
Sodium thiosulfate shots for abnormal calcium or bone spots
This pilot study tests a medicine called sodium thiosulfate (given as a skin shot) to treat abnormal calcium or bone formation in places they don’t belong. It’s meant for people whose condition is causing significant problems, and who are not planning surgery for the next year.
BordeauxAges 6 months+ - NCT04408430Recruiting
Valve replacement for severe mitral valve disease in high-risk adults
This trial tests a less-invasive way to treat severe mitral valve problems using a transcatheter valve. It may help people who are too high-risk for standard open-heart mitral surgery by improving symptoms and heart function.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04592640RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Amniotic stem cell treatment for calciphylaxis
This early-phase study tests a stem cell therapy made from amniotic (placenta) tissue for people with calciphylaxis. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this treatment is safe and potentially helpful for this rare, painful condition.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT04688190Recruiting
Registry study for choosing a mitral valve treatment
This study collects and compares real-world results to help doctors choose the best treatment for mitral valve “leakiness.” If you have clinically significant mitral insufficiency and have already had a specific heart procedure screening, your echocardiogram results may be used to understand outcomes over at least a month.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04713774Recruiting
Tracking bone and blood vessel changes after kidney transplant
This study follows people who recently received a kidney transplant to see how bone strength and blood-vessel calcifications change over time. It may help doctors better understand what to monitor after transplant and how best to protect bone and heart health.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT04753593Recruiting
Using Leftover Surgery Tissue for Research
This study collects tiny pieces of tissue that would normally be thrown away during heart or bone surgery. Researchers will use these samples to better understand how tissues work and develop better treatments. Your participation involves letting doctors keep and study a small amount of tissue removed during your scheduled surgery.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04868578Recruiting
Vitamin PPI supplements for ectopic calcification in PXE
This trial studies whether taking PPI-type supplements can slow or reduce unwanted calcification in people with PXE. It’s meant to help manage disease changes caused by abnormal calcium deposits, based on your medical testing.
AngersAges 18–65 - NCT04889872Recruiting
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.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 65 years+ - NCT04968509RecruitingPhase 3
PCSK9 shots for calcified aortic valve narrowing
This study tests whether adding PCSK9 inhibitor injections (to statin treatment) can slow or improve calcific aortic valve stenosis, a condition where the heart’s aortic valve becomes stiff and narrowed. It’s aimed at adults with mild-to-moderate disease or certain people with severe disease but no symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT04988685Recruiting
Heart artery balloon treatment registry study for adults
This study follows adults with blocked heart arteries who are treated using a special type of balloon (drug-coated balloon) during a procedure. It aims to track real-world outcomes to better understand how well this treatment works for people with new blockages or previously treated vessel narrowing.
Lucerne, Canton of LucerneAges 18 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.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 50–80 - NCT05800002Recruiting
IVUS-guided stent placement for badly calcified heart arteries
This trial studies a heart procedure that uses a special camera to guide where to place a drug-coated stent in an artery with heavy calcium. It may help improve how well the stent fits and works for people with certain types of coronary artery blockages.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05845424RecruitingPhase 4
High-intensity cholesterol pills for people with silent calcium
This trial studies whether high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe can improve heart health in people who do not have symptoms but have calcium buildup in their heart arteries. It may help lower cholesterol and reduce future heart risks for the right participants.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for calcification?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 recruiting calcification 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 calcification 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 calcification 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.
