Recruiting studies
- NCT06985693Recruiting
AI-assisted stent placement study for heart disease

This study tests a special cooling balloon to freeze and stabilize dangerous plaques in heart arteries that are not the main cause of your current symptoms. It aims to prevent future heart attacks.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06931574Recruiting
Comparing two stent methods for complex heart branch blockages
This trial compares two ways of placing stents in complex blockages in heart artery branches (smaller arteries branching off main ones). It aims to see which technique works better for this specific type of blockage.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06919562Recruiting
Better stent placement using imaging and newer scaffolds
This trial tests if using advanced imaging (like OCT or IVUS) to guide placement of a newer type of stent (bioresorbable scaffold) can reduce future stent problems. It is for people with stable coronary artery disease who need a stent in a main heart artery.
DordrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06588595RecruitingPhase 4
Switching Blood Thinners After Stent Placement
This study compares two ways to manage blood thinners after a stent. It tests whether switching from stronger drugs (prasugrel or ticagrelor) to clopidogrel is safe and effective for long-term heart protection.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07495813RecruitingPhase 1
Study of RO7763505 in healthy people and stable heart disease
This study tests an experimental drug (RO7763505) in healthy people and people with stable heart disease. It aims to see how safe the drug is and how it works in the body.
GroningenAges 18–75 - NCT07742345Recruiting
Coronary support catheter for safer stent placement
This study tests a catheter that helps doctors guide stents and balloons through blocked heart arteries. It may make your procedure easier and safer if you need a stent placed.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07743021Recruiting
Blood sample study for better health screening
This study collects blood samples and health information over time to improve early detection of diseases. It may help researchers find ways to prevent serious conditions.
BalatonfüredAges 40 years+ - NCT06164730RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VERVE-102 for high cholesterol or early heart disease
This trial tests a new medicine called VERVE-102 for people with a specific type of high cholesterol (HeFH) or early coronary artery disease. It aims to see if it can help lower cholesterol levels.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18–70 - NCT07722637Recruiting
Cardiac rehab's effect on cell health in heart disease
This study looks at whether a heart rehab program can affect a type of cell damage (ferroptosis) in people who recently had heart artery disease. It could help show why rehab is good for recovery.
Kayseri, KayseriAges 18–75 - NCT07724184Recruiting
Treating calcified heart arteries with a stent
This trial tests a way to treat hardened, calcified heart artery blockages using a stent. It may help people who have moderate blockages that haven't been treated before.
AalborgAges 18–90 - NCT07711106Recruiting
Comparing expert IVUS to standard IVUS for left main artery stenting
This study compares two ways of using a special ultrasound camera (IVUS) inside your heart's main artery during stenting. The goal is to see if a new 'expert' computer system helps the doctor place the stent better than the standard IVUS method. It may help people with blockages at the Y-shaped split of the left main artery.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07363161Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon vs. stent for high-risk heart disease
This trial compares two treatments for people with complex coronary artery disease who have high-risk conditions or complicated blockages: a drug-coated balloon (DCB) versus a drug-eluting stent (DES). Both are ways to open up narrowed arteries and keep them open without surgery.
HomburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05634031Recruiting
Study of heart vessel dysfunction seen on heart imaging
This study looks at coronary microvascular dysfunction (small blood vessel problems in the heart) using heart imaging. It may help researchers understand causes of chest tightness with activity and shortness of breath when the main heart arteries are not blocked.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04347200Recruiting
Long-term blood-thinner therapy registry for heart disease
This study follows people with known coronary artery disease to understand how long-term “blood thinner” treatments are used and how they affect health over time. You may be asked to share medical information and come in for follow-up to help researchers compare outcomes.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT04417387Recruiting
Check genetics to improve heart disease risk prediction
This study looks at whether adding genetic information to a standard NHS Health Check can better predict a person’s risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). If you qualify, you may be asked to provide genetic information to help refine future risk estimates.
LeicesterAges 40–74 - NCT04576130Recruiting
ICD study after cardiac arrest from an abnormal heart rhythm
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT04634240Recruiting
Staged heart bypass plus TAVR versus TAVR alone
This study compares doing a staged coronary bypass (revascularization) along with a valve procedure (TAVR) versus doing TAVR and medical treatment alone. It aims to see which approach better helps people with both aortic valve narrowing and coronary artery disease.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT04748237Recruiting
CT heart scan for intermediate-risk chest pain
This study tests whether a special heart CT scan can help evaluate the cause of chest pain in people at intermediate risk for blocked heart arteries. It may help doctors decide what to do next after an emergency room visit.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT04844944Recruiting
Heart registry for adults with heart failure, CAD, or atrial fibrillation
This is a hospital-based study that collects standardized information about adults with specific heart conditions—heart failure, coronary artery disease, or atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors and researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05329285Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent for heart weakness from blocked arteries
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05366153Recruiting
Plan to lower future heart attack risk after past cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a “risk-guided” care plan can help prevent coronary artery disease (the buildup that can lead to heart attacks) in people who had cancer treatment that can affect the heart. You may get closer heart risk monitoring and guidance to reduce risk factors, such as cholesterol—especially if you can safely take statins.
Hobart, TasmaniaAges 40–70 - NCT05416385Recruiting
Stress echo scan with special contrast to study carotid plaque
This study uses a heart stress ultrasound test, plus a contrast dye, to look for new blood vessel growth inside carotid plaque (the buildup in neck arteries). It may help doctors better judge the risk of stroke and determine which people need closer care.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05437900RecruitingPhase 4
A heart test to guide stent placement using blood-flow measurements
This Phase 4 study tests a way to measure blood flow in heart arteries to help doctors choose the best stent plan. It may help improve safety and effectiveness for people having elective heart stent procedures for stable angina or certain heart attacks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for coronary arterial disease (cad)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 190 recruiting coronary arterial disease (cad) 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 coronary arterial disease (cad) 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 coronary arterial disease (cad) 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.
