Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT04927429Recruiting
MRI study to improve heart imaging
This trial helps develop and fine-tune MRI scans that look at the heart and blood vessels. It may help people with heart-related symptoms or conditions by improving how MRI images are created and interpreted.

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT05213572Recruiting
Study of organ health in adults with sickle cell
This observational study looks closely at how major organs (like brain, kidneys, heart, lungs, liver, and joints) are working in adults with sickle cell. It may help researchers understand what changes happen after curative treatments (like transplant or gene therapy) or with ongoing care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00943514Recruiting
Study of bronchiectasis and why infections keep coming back
This study follows children (age 5+) and adults with bronchiectasis or ongoing/repeated lung infections to learn what makes infections more likely. It mainly looks at non–cystic fibrosis causes, but may include some related conditions to compare differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT06923072RecruitingPhase 2
Baricitinib for neurological Kohlmeier-Degos disease
This trial tests if the drug baricitinib can help people with Degos disease that has affected their brain or nerves. It aims to control inflammation and improve symptoms.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04216342RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new breathing-drug ingredient in healthy adults
This early study (Phase 1) tests how safe and tolerable Fx-5A is, and how the body processes it, in healthy volunteers. It’s mainly looking to understand side effects and drug levels rather than treating a disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT00001620Enrolling by invitation
NIH screening to see which blood studies fit you
This study is a general screening step at the NIH Clinical Center to check whether you might qualify for other NHLBI research protocols. It helps match you (or a donor/healthy volunteer) to the right study and confirms you can consent to participate.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT01621594Recruiting
Testing new radiation methods for heart CT images
This trial studies newer ways to take heart and blood vessel CT scans while using radiation more carefully. It may help improve image quality for people needing coronary CT angiography.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01143454Recruiting
Study unusual heart conditions and related genetic traits
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–100 - NCT03685721Recruiting
Study genes in sickle cell disease to compare blood test activity
This study looks at how a person’s genes relate to certain measurements in red blood cells in people with sickle cell disease. The goal is to understand why blood cell function varies and how that might guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT03954574Recruiting
Check blood flow changes in lungs during exercise testing
This study measures how blood moves through your lungs and heart while you exercise, using standard heart-lung pressure measurements. It may help doctors better understand unexplained breathing trouble or suspected pulmonary hypertension and improve how testing and care are guided.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00001465Recruiting
Understanding lymphangioleiomyomatosis disease progression
This study looks at how lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) affects the lungs over time, using tests like chest imaging and lung biopsies. It aims to learn more about the disease to improve future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 16–100 - NCT06313398RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Measuring red blood cell lifespan in sickle cell disease
This study uses a harmless vitamin (biotin) to label your red blood cells and track how long they survive. It aims to understand how different blood disorders affect red blood cell lifespan, which may help improve treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT03538639Recruiting
Study blood and tissue samples for vascular disease discovery
This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT07613099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new PET scan to detect lung and heart scarring
This study tests a new imaging scan (called 18F-FAPI PET/CT) that may help detect scarring in the lungs, heart, or blood vessels. If you have a heart, lung, or blood vessel condition that could cause scarring, this scan might show damage earlier and help doctors plan better treatment.

What taking part in a heart diseases 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 heart diseases clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 57 recruiting heart diseases studies with a site in Maryland, 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 heart diseases study in Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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 heart diseases 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 heart diseases studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
