Recruiting studies
- NCT06866756Recruiting
Comparing two drug-coated balloons for heart artery treatment

3-vessel ultrasound flow study in heart disease patients
This trial uses a special ultrasound to measure blood flow in three main heart arteries. It may help doctors better understand blockages and improve treatment planning.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06822712Recruiting
Sirolimus-coated balloon for heart artery branch blockages
This trial tests a new balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent re-blockage) for treating blocked arteries at branch points (bifurcations) in the heart. If you have a blocked artery at a branch point, this study may offer a way to treat the side branch without placing a stent there.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18–80 - NCT06820970Recruiting
Combined therapy for heart artery blockages that weren't fully opened
This trial tests if combining a new heart procedure with a special type of therapy called mindfulness therapy can help prevent heart problems in people with coronary artery disease that could not be fully fixed with stents or surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06814587Recruiting
New imaging for heart muscle damage after a heart attack
This study uses special imaging scans (MRI and PET) to look at the health of the heart muscle in people with advanced heart failure caused by blocked arteries. The goal is to better predict recovery after bypass surgery.
Dallas, TexasAges 20–80 - NCT06794359Enrolling by invitation
Comparing minimally invasive vs. traditional bypass for multi-vessel heart disease
This study compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple heart arteries: a newer, less invasive technique (minimally invasive CABG) versus the traditional open-chest approach. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06800781Recruiting
Chest tube duration to prevent afib after heart surgery
This trial tests if leaving a chest tube in a little longer after heart surgery can lower the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It's for people having certain planned heart surgeries who have not had this rhythm problem before.
LundAges 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 - NCT06736665Recruiting
Comparing two ways to treat hardened calcium in heart arteries
This trial compares two techniques (orbital atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy) to break up tough calcium deposits in the heart's arteries that can block blood flow. If you have a calcified nodule and are having a non-emergency procedure to open a blocked artery, this study may help guide which method works best.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06708000Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Personalized testing for new chest pain
This trial compares a personalized evaluation approach to standard care for people with new chest pain who might have heart disease. It aims to see if tailoring tests can improve diagnosis and outcomes.
HerningAges 30–75 - NCT06681740Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for heart disease patients
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help people who have had a heart attack and a procedure to open blocked heart arteries. The exercises strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may improve your recovery and quality of life.
MálagaAges 18–80 - NCT06662500Recruiting
Shockwave balloon for hard heart blockages trial
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that uses sound waves to break up hard calcium blockages in heart arteries. It may be an option for people with stable chest pain or who have recovered from a recent heart attack, and who have a single, tough blockage.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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+ - NCT06600178RecruitingPhase 1
Heart medication for women with chest pain and small vessel disease
This trial tests a diabetes medication called SGLT2 inhibitors to see if it can improve blood flow to the heart and reduce chest pain in women who have small vessel heart disease (microvascular dysfunction) but not blocked large arteries. Participants will take the medication and be monitored for symptom relief and heart function improvements.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06579807Recruiting
Cardiac rehab for coronary artery disease
This study tests if a cardiac rehabilitation program helps people with coronary artery disease. You can join if you are between 40 and 70, have heart disease (or are a healthy volunteer), and do not have other health issues like heart failure or smoking.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 40–70 - NCT06559332Recruiting
Heart artery checks during aortic valve replacement
This study tests different ways to check for blocked heart arteries in patients getting a new aortic valve through a tube in the leg. It aims to find the best approach to guide treatment.
BernAges 70 years+ - 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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 40–70 - NCT06489119Recruiting
Studying plaque types in coronary artery disease with advanced imaging
This trial uses advanced imaging (OCT) and single-cell analysis to study different types of plaque in people with coronary artery disease. It aims to understand how these plaque types differ at a cellular level, which could lead to better treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for coronary arterial disease (cad)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 192 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.
