How calcium affects stent healing: an imaging study
This study looks at how calcium buildup in artery walls affects how well a stent heals. Doctors will use special imaging (OCT) right after stent placement and again a month later to check the healing of the tiny metal struts.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06577038Enrolling by invitation
Registry for a new heart artery treatment
This study tracks how well a new treatment called intravascular lithotripsy works for opening up hardened heart arteries. If you're having this procedure, joining the registry helps doctors learn more about its benefits.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06503302Recruiting
Ultrasound effect on calcified shoulder tendinitis
This trial tests if using Doppler ultrasound to guide treatment can help people with long-term shoulder pain caused by calcified deposits. It may offer a more targeted way to relieve pain.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06507449Enrolling by invitation
Treating Heavily Calcified Heart Blockages to Improve Microcirculation
This study is testing a technique to treat heavily calcified (hard) blockages in heart arteries. The goal is to see if a special way of preparing the blockage before placing a stent helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels in the heart muscle.
KatowiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06235112Recruiting
AI Screening for Heart Calcium from Chest CT Scans
This research study uses an artificial intelligence program to screen old chest CT scans for calcium buildup in the heart arteries. If you are between 40 and 75 and have had a chest CT in the last 3 years, this may help identify if you are at risk for heart disease so you can take steps to prevent it.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT05916950Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for blocked leg arteries
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
St. Helena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05851209Recruiting
Study biomarkers in people with moderate aortic valve narrowing
This study looks at blood and/or body signals (called biomarkers) to understand why aortic valve narrowing may worsen and what outcomes people have. You may be able to help researchers by undergoing regular heart care plus additional testing like MRI or CT if you qualify.
BonnAges 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 - 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+ - NCT05145478Recruiting
Real-world outcomes after Shockwave treatment for blocked leg artery
This study follows what happens in real life after using Shockwave’s device (intravascular lithotripsy) to treat a hard, calcified blockage in the common femoral artery, then completing standard treatment. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit and what results to expect.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - NCT03032835Recruiting
Research study for calciphylaxis skin lesions
This study collects and stores information from people with calciphylaxis, a serious condition that causes painful skin lesions. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and improve future care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00369421Recruiting
Diagnosis and care for inherited metabolic conditions
This trial helps evaluate people who may have an inherited (genetic) metabolic or related disorder, and sometimes includes treatment or guidance based on the diagnosis. It may involve blood and urine testing, and participation can include in-person visits or telehealth.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for calcification?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 65 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.
