Coronary artery disease clinical trials in Massachusetts
We’re tracking 30 recruiting coronary artery disease studies with a site in Massachusetts — including Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT05055297Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for severe leg artery blockage in lower legs
This trial studies a “drug-coated balloon” procedure to improve blood flow in people with severe, long-lasting poor circulation in the lower leg arteries. It may help reduce repeat blockage after treatment for selected artery lesions below the knee.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07315997Recruiting
Heart health study for people with rheumatoid arthritis
This study looks at whether calcium in the heart arteries and a blood test (troponin) can help predict heart disease risk in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help doctors better prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 35–79 - NCT07613294RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lepodisiran to reduce heart plaque buildup
This study tests whether a new medicine called lepodisiran can shrink plaque in heart arteries for adults with high Lp(a) (a type of cholesterol linked to heart disease) who have had a heart event or are at serious risk. The trial uses CT scans to monitor changes in your arteries.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45–80 - NCT05152888RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a cholesterol drug to improve heart blood flow on scans
This trial studies whether lowering LDL (“bad cholesterol”) with a PCSK-9 inhibitor (evolocumab) improves blood flow to the heart, measured by special PET scans. It’s for people over a certain age who have stable coronary artery disease and a higher risk of heart problems.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50–90 - NCT07214376Recruiting
Nerve ablation for pulmonary hypertension from left heart disease
This trial tests a device that uses a catheter to deliver energy to nerves around the pulmonary arteries, aiming to reduce high blood pressure in the lungs caused by left heart failure. It is for people with ongoing heart failure symptoms despite optimal medications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–85 - NCT00583817Enrolling by invitation
Endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.

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.

Common questions
- Are there coronary artery disease clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 30 recruiting coronary artery disease studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a coronary artery disease study in Massachusetts?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a coronary artery disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New coronary artery disease studies open in Massachusetts regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
