Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02966665RecruitingPhase 1
Testing blood vessel function in people of different health conditions
This early study measures how well your blood vessels work using tests that may include MRI. It compares healthy people with people who have conditions like COPD, pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart failure, or high blood pressure, to better understand “vascular function” in health and disease.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT02762162Recruiting
Registry of heart artery patients’ platelet test results
This registry collects information from people with coronary (heart) artery disease who already had platelet-related blood tests as part of usual care. The goal is to better understand how platelet responses relate to treatment and outcomes, which may help future care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07704164RecruitingPhase 2
Colchicine to lower heart artery swelling in HIV
This trial tests if colchicine, a medicine for inflammation, can reduce swelling in the heart arteries of people with HIV. It may help lower the risk of heart problems in those already on a statin or similar medication.
BarcelonaAges 50 years+ - NCT07619885RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a New Blood Thinner Called CG-0255 in Healthy People
This study tests how a new blood-thinning medication (CG-0255) works in the body and compares it with Plavix, a common blood thinner. Researchers will measure how much of the drug enters your bloodstream and what effects it has on your blood clotting ability.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–55 - NCT03788512Recruiting
Registry study for recent stroke/TIA with heart artery disease
This study enrolls people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA (a “mini-stroke”) and also have evidence of narrowed heart arteries. It collects information to better understand how brain and heart artery disease occur together and may guide future care.
Beijing, BJAges 18–85 - NCT06276374Recruiting
Dual antiplatelet therapy after carotid artery stenting for high bleeding risk
This trial tests if taking two blood thinners (dual antiplatelet therapy) after a carotid artery stenting procedure is safe and effective for patients who have a higher risk of bleeding. It focuses on people with significant blockages in the neck arteries who are also at increased risk for serious bleeding or brain bleeds.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - 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.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07657676RecruitingPhase 4
Study of mazdutide for heart artery plaque in people who are overweight
This study tests whether mazdutide, a medicine that may help with weight and blood sugar, can reduce plaque buildup in the heart's arteries. It is for people who are overweight or obese and have some narrowing in their heart arteries but do not need immediate procedures like stents.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07445997Recruiting
HbA1c and kidney injury after heart bypass surgery
This study looks at whether blood sugar levels (HbA1c) before surgery are linked to kidney problems after coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help doctors understand how to reduce risks for people with diabetes or high blood sugar.
BursaAges 18 years+ - NCT05852704RecruitingPhase 3
Dapagliflozin to prevent irregular heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial looks at whether dapagliflozin (a diabetes medicine that helps the kidneys and heart) can lower the chance of atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, after coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery. If you’re scheduled for planned bypass surgery, this study may help reduce post-operative rhythm problems.
BrnoAges 18 years+ - NCT07352111Recruiting
Heart risk in those with family history of heart attack
