Ultrasound treatment for kidney fat to lower blood pressure
This trial tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets the fat pad around your kidney to lower blood pressure. It might be an option if your blood pressure is still high despite medication and you meet the size requirements for the fat pad.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06347276Recruiting
PFO closure and brain microemboli study
This trial looks at whether closing a small hole in the heart (PFO) can reduce tiny clots traveling to the brain. It includes people who have had a stroke or migraine, and also those without symptoms but with high-risk features.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06554301RecruitingPhase 1
Empagliflozin for pulmonary arterial hypertension study
This study tests if the diabetes drug empagliflozin can help people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition causing high blood pressure in the lungs. It aims to see if the drug improves symptoms and is safe for patients with moderate symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06615596RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stopping blood thinners after successful atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial tests whether it is safe to stop taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) after a successful ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. If you have had no AF for 3 months after your first ablation, you may be able to stop these medications, reducing your risk of bleeding.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06621056Recruiting
Risk factors and outlook for frequent asthma flare-ups
This study looks at people with asthma to understand what raises the risk of having frequent asthma attacks and how these attacks affect long-term health. The goal is to find ways to better predict and help manage these flare-ups.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06633380Recruiting
Different physical activity strategies for breast cancer survivors
This study tests different ways to add physical activity into your daily routine to help manage side effects from breast cancer treatment. The goal is to see if simple, practical strategies can improve your health and well-being while you are on aromatase inhibitors.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06660602Recruiting
Brain function check before and after heart surgery
This study checks how well your brain works before and after heart surgery. It uses safe tests like a CT scan and an EEG to see if surgery affects brain function.

New drug combo for untreated high-risk mantle cell lymphoma
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (orelabrutinib, lisaftoclax, and rituximab) for people with mantle cell lymphoma who have not had treatment before and have high-risk features. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiovascular disease risk factor?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 157 recruiting cardiovascular disease risk factor 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 cardiovascular disease risk factor 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 cardiovascular disease risk factor 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.
