Probiotics and fiber for kidney disease with leg artery blockage
This study tests whether an oral absorbent plus probiotics can improve gut health and circulation in people who have chronic kidney disease and symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). It will also track changes in blood markers and how well blood vessels function.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT04864171Recruiting
Registry to study heart vessel imaging with a special light test
This registry collects images of coronary artery blockages during a routine heart procedure. It uses a special light-based imaging scan to help researchers understand how well the test shows artery lesions.
MiyazakiAges 20–95 - NCT06657976RecruitingPhase 2
Beetroot juice and exercise for PAD
This study tests whether beetroot juice, which contains natural nitrates that help blood vessels relax, combined with exercise, can improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You might be able to join if you have PAD, can walk without a walker, and are willing to avoid beet products for a while.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT05853419Recruiting
Robotic procedure for opening blocked heart arteries
This study tests a robotic system to help doctors perform a procedure (PCI/angioplasty) to open blocked heart arteries. You may be eligible if you need this procedure and your anatomy is suitable, and if you can give informed consent.
AntwerpAges 18–120 - NCT04779008Recruiting
Remote arm treatment to help blood flow after heart bypass
This trial studies whether a simple, at-home type of treatment using brief arm blood-flow changes can improve blood flow to the heart and outcomes after CABG (heart bypass surgery). It may help some people recover better by protecting the heart around the time of surgery.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–80 - NCT06273293Recruiting
Post-stent blood flow test with nitroglycerin for multivessel patients
This study tests a new way to measure blood flow after placing a stent, using a very thin wire with a camera. It helps doctors decide if the stent is working well without needing extra medication like adenosine—just a tiny dose of nitroglycerin. You may qualify if you have blockages in two or more heart arteries and are already scheduled for a stent procedure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for coronary artery disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 712 recruiting coronary artery disease 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 artery disease 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 artery disease 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.
