Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT05916950Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for blocked leg arteries
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 60 years+ - NCT07293260RecruitingPhase 3
Olpasiran heart scan study for high Lp(a) patients
This study tests if a medication called olpasiran can lower a type of fat in your blood called Lp(a), which is linked to heart problems. You take the medicine or a placebo and get a special heart scan to see changes in your arteries.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 35–80 - NCT07296744Recruiting
Study of a heart pump for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests a new device called the Supira system to support the heart during a high-risk procedure to open blocked arteries. It is for people who are stable enough to wait for the procedure (not in emergency or shock).
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–90 - NCT04451044Enrolling by invitation
Guided heart stent planning using an inside pressure sensor
This study tests whether using a tiny pressure sensor in heart arteries during a procedure can better guide where to place a stent. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective stent plan by more accurately measuring artery narrowing.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07232069RecruitingPhase 3
Early heart disease trial for women and men with mild plaque buildup
This trial tests whether two medicines, a statin and colchicine, can slow or stop early heart artery plaque from growing in people who have mild plaque but no heart disease symptoms yet. It uses special CT scans to measure plaque over 2 years.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 30–60 - NCT07045194Recruiting
Study of Virtue balloon for coronary stent re-narrowing
This trial tests a special balloon to treat narrowed areas inside a previously placed heart stent. It may help by reopening the artery without adding another stent.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT07175038RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a new pill for pulmonary hypertension
This study tests a new pill, ROC-101, for people with pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). It aims to see if the pill can improve symptoms and daily function.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT06535854Recruiting
Prevail Stent Study for Heart Disease
This study tests a new type of stent for people with narrowed heart arteries causing chest pain or a recent mild heart attack. It aims to see if the stent is safe and effective in improving blood flow without serious side effects.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04124120Recruiting
Single vs multiple bypass grafts for women heart surgery
This study compares outcomes of using one bypass graft versus multiple bypass grafts during coronary artery bypass surgery in women. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and heart outcomes for eligible patients.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Camden, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT07062471Recruiting
Shockwave balloon treatment for hardened carotid arteries before stenting
This study tests a special balloon that uses sound waves to break up calcium buildup in the carotid artery (the main artery in your neck) before placing a stent. It's for people who are at high risk for traditional surgery and have heavy calcium deposits in their artery.
Wynnewood, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06445608Recruiting
Study of a heart pump for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests a temporary heart pump (called the KARDION Cory P4) used during a high-risk angioplasty (stenting) procedure. The pump helps keep blood flowing in patients whose heart is weak or who have complex blockages, aiming to make the procedure safer.
Browns Mills, New JerseyAges 18–90 - NCT05908331Recruiting
Balloon treatment test for narrowed stents in heart arteries
This trial tests whether a special drug-coated balloon (“MagicTouch”) can treat re-narrowing inside a previously placed stent. It may help patients whose stent has become blocked again, by improving blood flow and reducing repeat narrowing.
Pomona, New JerseyAges 18–110 - NCT06271590Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for small heart artery blockages
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (sirolimus) to treat blockages in small heart arteries. If the balloon is successful, it may help keep the artery open without needing a permanent stent.
Pomona, New JerseyAges 18–80

What taking part in a coronary artery 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.
