Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05750667Enrolling by invitation
Family screening for familial high cholesterol
This trial is about helping families with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol) get screened. It tests a way to reach close relatives so they can learn their risk and consider next steps.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05284513Enrolling by invitation
Care team study for families with high cholesterol
This study tests a “reach everyone” approach in primary care clinics to improve care for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (families with very high cholesterol). It may help families get recognized sooner and get the right follow-up.
Multiple Locations, PennsylvaniaAges 26 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 - NCT05746247Enrolling by invitation
Helping diagnose and manage familial high cholesterol
This study is testing ways to improve how doctors identify and manage familial hypercholesterolemia (a strong inherited tendency to have very high cholesterol) using computer tools and behavior-focused strategies. It may help patients get earlier, more coordinated care if they are at high risk but not yet officially diagnosed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05348564Recruiting
Family genetic screening methods for heart rhythm risk
This study compares two ways to find relatives who may carry a specific inherited genetic change. It may help your family learn faster who should get follow-up testing and care.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04815005Recruiting
Registry study for people with HoFH
This study is a registry (a list that collects health information) for people with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic cholesterol condition. It helps researchers understand this condition better and connect patients with future research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05682378RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term follow-up for inclisiran in young people with inherited high cholesterol
This study follows people with HeFH or HoFH (inherited high cholesterol) who previously took inclisiran in specific pediatric ORION studies. It mainly checks long-term safety and how well the treatment continues to be tolerated over time.

What taking part in a familial hypercholesterolemia 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 familial hypercholesterolemia clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting familial hypercholesterolemia studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 familial hypercholesterolemia study in Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 familial hypercholesterolemia 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.
