Recruiting studies
- NCT07258290Recruiting
Freesolve Magnesium Scaffold for Heart Artery Blockages
This trial tests a new dissolvable magnesium scaffold to treat blockages in heart arteries. It is designed for people with stable heart pain or certain recent heart attacks, and it aims to open blocked arteries and then slowly dissolve over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–80 - NCT07254572RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing diabetes drugs for heart health in prediabetes
This trial tests whether certain diabetes medications can help prevent worsening of heart disease in people who have prediabetes (higher than normal blood sugar, but not yet diabetes). It may be a good fit if you have known coronary artery disease and prediabetes.
WarsawAges 18–80 - NCT06706323Recruiting
Depression after heart surgery study
This study looks at depressive symptoms in people who have had heart bypass surgery. It aims to understand how patients feel emotionally after surgery and may help improve care.
ZurichAges 18–90 - NCT07244484Recruiting
Brain Training for Heart Health in Coronary Artery Disease with Anxiety
This trial tests a brain training technique (neurofeedback) to help people with coronary artery disease and anxiety. It aims to improve heart rate control by targeting a specific brain area.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06567626Recruiting
Decision aid for heart artery treatment choices
This study is testing a new tool to help patients and doctors decide together on the best procedure (like stents or bypass surgery) for blocked heart arteries. It aims to make the decision process clearer and more personalized.
LeicesterAges Any age - NCT07231835Recruiting
Coronary outcomes with drug-coated balloon treatment
This study tracks patients who receive a special balloon coated with medicine (paclitaxel) to open blocked heart arteries. It aims to understand how well this treatment works for various types of blockages.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07237685Recruiting
Diabetes and heart artery plaque progression study
This study uses a follow-up CT scan of your heart arteries to see how diabetes-related plaque buildup changes over time. It may help researchers understand how well current diabetes treatments are protecting your heart.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07238920Recruiting
Brain training for heart health in people with coronary artery disease and anxiety
This trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which uses a video game controlled by your brain activity to help your heart and nervous system work better. It is for people with both coronary artery disease and anxiety who want to improve their heart health and manage anxiety without medication.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 30–60 - NCT05635227Recruiting
Medications during heart surgery to help control breathing and circulation
This study looks at whether giving dexamethasone and olanzapine during certain heart surgeries can improve how blood flow and ventilation (breathing support) are managed. It’s meant to see if these medicines help the body handle heart-lung bypass more safely.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06931574Recruiting
Comparing two stent methods for complex heart branch blockages
This trial compares two ways of placing stents in complex blockages in heart artery branches (smaller arteries branching off main ones). It aims to see which technique works better for this specific type of blockage.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07202754Recruiting
Complex heart procedure study for adults 18-85
This study looks at how often complications happen and long-term survival in people having complex coronary procedures. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for complex heart disease.
IstanbulAges 18–85 - NCT07195149RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin dose comparison after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether a lower dose of aspirin combined with another blood thinner (prasugrel) after bypass surgery is as safe and effective as a higher dose. It is for people with stable heart disease who are scheduled for bypass surgery and have not had a recent heart attack.
BialystokAges 18 years+ - NCT06670768Recruiting
Comparing two heart imaging tests for blocked arteries
This trial compares two heart imaging tests (SPECT and coronary CTA) to see if a newer method gives a clearer picture of blood flow. If you have been referred for one of these tests, you may be able to help by also having the other test done at no extra risk.
Budapest, BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT07190690Recruiting
Comparing two drug-coated stents for heart attack patients
This trial compares two types of drug-coated stents (one with sirolimus, one with everolimus) in people who have had a heart attack or unstable angina and need a stent. It aims to see which stent works better for new blockages in the heart arteries.
AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT06494501RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing heart attacks in middle-aged adults with early plaque
This study tests whether starting cholesterol-lowering treatment early can prevent heart attacks in people aged 30-50 who already have early signs of artery plaque but no history of heart disease.
New York, New YorkAges 30–50 - NCT07181512Recruiting
AI screening for coronary artery disease on chest CT
This trial uses artificial intelligence (AI) to look at chest CT scans for signs of coronary artery disease. It may help find blockages without needing a separate heart-specific CT scan.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07182955Recruiting
Exercise training for chest pain with clear arteries
This research study looks at why people with chest pain but clear heart arteries have low fitness. It tests whether a home-based interval training program (short bursts of hard exercise) can improve fitness and quality of life.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–85 - NCT07180368Recruiting
Managing multiple medications in older adults
This study looks at how to better manage multiple medications in older adults with long-term health conditions. It aims to improve safety and reduce drug-related problems.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 65 years+ - NCT06949150Recruiting
Combined heart CT scan study for coronary artery disease
This study tests a new way to use CT scans to look at both the structure of your heart arteries and how well blood flows through them. It may help doctors get a more complete picture of coronary artery disease without extra procedures.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07172620Recruiting
Heart bypass surgery without clamping the aorta
This study tests a special technique for heart bypass surgery that avoids clamping the aorta. It may help people with hardened arteries in the aorta who need bypass surgery but are not good candidates for standard clamping.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07173062Recruiting
Algae supplement for heart health and gut bacteria
This study tests whether a supplement made from algae can help improve markers of heart health and affect the bacteria in your gut. It is for people age 50 and older who already have a condition like heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes.
PortoAges 50 years+ - NCT07163858Recruiting
Leg raising vs. medication for heart bypass surgery
This trial compares a simple leg-raising technique to a medicine (noradrenaline) to help keep blood pressure stable during heart bypass surgery. It may help you avoid stronger drugs and have a smoother recovery.
Caluire-et-Cuire, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT07159087Enrolling by invitation
New drug balloon for re-narrowed stents
This trial tests a new drug-coated balloon (Genoss SCB) versus an existing one (SeQuent Please NEO) for people whose heart stents have re-narrowed. It aims to see which balloon better keeps the artery open.

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.
