We’re tracking 9 recruiting cardiovascular risk studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07181109RecruitingPhase 3
Study of zilebesiran for high-risk hypertension patients
This trial tests a new medicine called zilebesiran for people with high blood pressure that isn't well controlled. It may be an option if you have heart or blood vessel disease, or are at high risk for it.
Camp Hill, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06619444Recruiting
Resistance exercise and heart health in overweight adults
This study looks at how different amounts of resistance training (like lifting weights) affect heart health in people who are overweight and don't exercise much. It may help find the best exercise dose to improve cardiovascular health.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 40 years+ - NCT06118281RecruitingPhase 3
Testing ziltivekimab after a heart attack
This study tests a new drug called ziltivekimab to see if it helps people who have recently had a heart attack. The drug is given as an injection and compared to a placebo (a shot with no active medicine).
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06064149Recruiting
Heart risk study for men on hormone therapy for prostate cancer
This study looks at heart health in men with prostate cancer who are taking or will take hormone therapy (ADT) for at least 6 months. It aims to learn more about cardiovascular risks and how to manage them.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06837181Recruiting
Understanding diabetes complications in cystic fibrosis
This study looks at how long-term diabetes affects people with cystic fibrosis. It helps researchers understand complications and improve care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT07613294RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lepodisiran to reduce heart plaque buildup
This study tests whether a new medicine called lepodisiran can shrink plaque in heart arteries for adults with high Lp(a) (a type of cholesterol linked to heart disease) who have had a heart event or are at serious risk. The trial uses CT scans to monitor changes in your arteries.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 45–80 - NCT06542432Enrolling by invitation
Genetic risk test for heart disease prevention
This trial uses a polygenic risk score to see if knowing your genetic risk for coronary artery disease can help prevent a first heart attack. If you have an intermediate 10-year risk and no prior heart events, you may be eligible.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 40–70 - NCT07000357RecruitingPhase 3
Study of AZD0780 to reduce heart attack and stroke risk
This trial tests a new medication, AZD0780, to see if it helps prevent major cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes in people who already have heart or blood vessel disease, or are at high risk for a first event. It might be a good fit if your cholesterol isn't well-controlled despite current treatments.
West Chester, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.

What taking part in a cardiovascular risk 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.
Common questions
- Are there cardiovascular risk clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting cardiovascular risk studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 risk study in Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 risk 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?
New cardiovascular risk studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
