Plano, TexasAges 18–110 - NCT06271590Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for small heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
Plano, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT07157774RecruitingPhase 3
Muvalaplin for heart disease in people with high lipoprotein(a)
This study tests a new medicine called muvalaplin that lowers a specific type of cholesterol linked to heart disease. It aims to see if muvalaplin can reduce the risk of future heart attacks, strokes, or related procedures in people with high levels of this cholesterol.
Amarillo, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07293260RecruitingPhase 3
Olpasiran heart scan study for high Lp(a) patients
This study tests if a medication called olpasiran can lower a type of fat in your blood called Lp(a), which is linked to heart problems. You take the medicine or a placebo and get a special heart scan to see changes in your arteries.

What taking part in a cardiovascular diseases 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.

- Are there cardiovascular diseases clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 32 recruiting cardiovascular diseases studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cardiovascular diseases study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiovascular diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
