Jardiance for adults with congenital heart disease and reduced heart function
This study tests a medicine called Jardiance (an SGLT2 inhibitor) to see if it helps improve heart function in adults with congenital heart disease who have recently experienced a drop in their heart pumping ability. Participants will take the medication alongside standard heart failure treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06325280Recruiting
Exercise MRI for Kids with Heart Conditions
This study uses an MRI while exercising to check heart and lung fitness in children with heart disease. It helps doctors learn more about how to care for kids who have had a heart transplant or were born with heart problems.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 10–18 - NCT06526195Recruiting
A study of CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 for advanced heart failure
This trial tests if a combination of a tiny lung-artery pressure sensor (CardioMEMS) and a mechanical heart pump (HeartMate 3) is safe and effective for people with advanced heart failure. If you qualify, you'll either get the heart pump plus standard medical therapy, or continue with standard therapy alone and have your pressure monitored remotely.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05670132Recruiting
Heart and brain rehab for youth with congenital heart disease
This trial tests a combined heart and brain rehabilitation program for young people with moderate to complex congenital heart disease. The goal is to improve both heart health and thinking skills, such as memory and attention.
BrusselsAges 8–25 - NCT06626672Recruiting
Digital Health Program for Kids with Heart Defects
This study uses digital tools to promote healthy habits in children (ages 8–14) with congenital heart disease. It aims to support both the child and their family in staying active and well.
MünchenAges 8–14 - NCT06705543Recruiting
Genetic study of complex heart defects in unborn babies
This study looks at the genetic material in the fluid around the baby (amniotic fluid) and in the placenta to better understand complex heart defects in unborn babies. The goal is to find new clues that could help doctors care for these babies before and after birth.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06818760Recruiting
Remote monitoring for pregnant women with heart conditions
This study tests if a wrist wearable can safely monitor pregnant women with congenital heart disease. It aims to improve care during pregnancy, delivery, and after birth by tracking health data remotely.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT01653223Recruiting
Simvastatin to protect the heart during heart surgery
This trial looks at whether simvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) can help protect the heart during cardiac surgery. You might be invited if you’re having surgery for certain, non-complex heart conditions, but not if you have some specific related health problems.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT02852031Recruiting
Care program for newborns needing the Norwood procedure
This trial focuses on improving care for babies born with certain complex heart conditions where only one pumping chamber works. It is meant for babies (including unborn babies) who are planned to have the Norwood procedure, which is a common early surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 1.3 years - NCT07524998Recruiting
Surgery outcomes for complex heart defects across ages
This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07176507Recruiting
Study of multiple and mixed heart valve disease

Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07375602Recruiting
AI tool to predict complications after VSD closure in children
This study uses artificial intelligence to predict complications in children who have had a specific type of hole in the heart (called a perimembranous ventricular septal defect) repaired with a catheter-based procedure. The goal is to help doctors better identify which children might have problems after the procedure.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 18 years - NCT04299828Recruiting
Study of inflammation activity during complex heart surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for complex congenital heart disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 26 recruiting complex congenital heart disease 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 complex congenital heart disease 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 complex congenital heart disease 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.
