- NCT06153459Recruiting
Delayed cord clamping for babies with heart disease
This study looks at how long to wait before clamping the umbilical cord in babies born with a heart condition. It helps doctors understand the best timing for these newborns.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 9 months–10 months - NCT06080074RecruitingPhase 2
Emergency heart-lung machine study for children with severe heart failure
This study tests a specific heart-lung machine called Cardiohelp to help children with severe heart failure. It looks at how well the machine works and whether a blood thinner (either heparin or bivalirudin) is safer and more effective.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges birth–16 years - NCT05610787Enrolling by invitation
Testing a device that helps move an EXCOR pediatric heart pump
This trial studies an “active driving” system that controls the EXCOR pediatric heart pump. It’s meant for children who need a heart pump as a bridge to heart transplantation, to help the pump work more safely and effectively.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 21 years - NCT03149341Enrolling by invitation
MRI and computer-heart simulations for heart disease
This study uses MRI scans and computer simulations to learn more about how the heart and blood flow work in people with certain heart or lung conditions. It may help researchers better understand heart problems and improve future care.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 1.3 years - NCT07114718Recruiting
Stent for babies with heart defect needing extra blood flow
This trial tests a special stent for babies with a heart defect that needs a temporary blood vessel to stay open. The stent is placed to help blood flow to the lungs until the baby can have a more permanent surgery.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 1 minute–6 months - NCT04141605Enrolling by invitation
Heart transplant candidates matched for better heart preservation
This study creates a worldwide registry and information database to help improve how donor hearts are preserved for transplant. If you are a heart transplant candidate, your details may be recorded to see what matching and preservation approaches work best.

What taking part in a congenital heart disease 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.
