Recruiting studies
- NCT06632613RecruitingPhase 2
Trial of ENN0403 to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This study tests a new drug (ENN0403) given during heart surgery to see if it prevents acute kidney injury—a sudden drop in kidney function. The trial is for people who are already at higher risk due to their specific heart surgery and other health factors.

Oakland, CaliforniaAges 3–18 - NCT06271265RecruitingPhase 1
Testing EXPAREL for pain after heart surgery in children
This study tests a long-acting pain medicine (EXPAREL) given during heart surgery to see how it works in young children. The goal is to help control pain after surgery with fewer side effects.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges birth–6 years - NCT06355063Recruiting
CellFX device for atrial fibrillation during open-heart surgery
This trial tests a new device called CellFX that uses nanosecond pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation during open-heart surgery. It may help you if you already need heart surgery and also have AFib.
ViennaAges 18–85 - NCT06959121Recruiting
Treating AFib during open-heart surgery with a new device
This trial tests a new device used during open-heart surgery to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) by delivering tiny, fast electrical pulses to the heart tissue. It is for people who are already having heart surgery and want to also treat their AFib at the same time.
St. Helena, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT07164833RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug to prevent kidney injury after heart surgery
This study tests a new medicine, BX-001N, to see if it can prevent kidney damage during and after heart surgery for aortic disease. It is for people with moderate kidney problems who are having planned surgery that stops the heart briefly.
DaeguAges 19–90 - NCT06952907Recruiting
Arm vs. leg artery pressure monitoring in heart surgery
This study compares measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT06660732RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Rilonacept for cardiac sarcoidosis
This trial tests if rilonacept can help people with cardiac sarcoidosis, a condition where inflammation affects the heart. You may join if you have active inflammation on a PET scan despite standard treatments.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT07017933Recruiting
Kidney support device for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a new device that helps support kidney function during heart surgery. It is for people with mild to moderate kidney problems who are having bypass or valve surgery.
Weston, FloridaAges 22–85 - NCT06629311Recruiting
Blood recycling device study in heart surgery
This trial looks at how a device that collects and reuses your own blood during heart surgery works. It may help reduce the need for donated blood.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 18 years+ - NCT05841056RecruitingPhase 3
Short amiodarone treatment to prevent new heart rhythm after surgery
This trial studies whether a short course of amiodarone started right after heart surgery can reduce problems from new-onset atrial fibrillation (a common fast heart rhythm) or flutter. It may help some patients avoid ongoing rhythm issues and improve recovery soon after discharge.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05635227Recruiting
Medications during heart surgery to help control breathing and circulation
This study looks at whether giving dexamethasone and olanzapine during certain heart surgeries can improve how blood flow and ventilation (breathing support) are managed. It’s meant to see if these medicines help the body handle heart-lung bypass more safely.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07625553RecruitingPhase 2
Relaxin Agonist to Protect Kidneys During Heart Surgery
This study tests whether a drug called R2R01 can help protect your kidneys during major heart surgery. Heart surgery can sometimes damage the kidneys, and this trial is looking to see if this new medication reduces that risk.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac surgery subjects?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 24 recruiting cardiac surgery subjects 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 cardiac surgery subjects 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 cardiac surgery subjects 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.
