Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06563895RecruitingPhase 3
Testing acoramidis to prevent ATTR amyloidosis in gene carriers
This trial tests a daily pill called acoramidis to see if it can prevent ATTR amyloidosis in people who carry a gene mutation but have no symptoms yet. It aims to stop the disease before it starts.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06918795Recruiting
Fontan Fitness Trial: Home exercise for better heart health
This study tests whether a home-based exercise training program can improve fitness in people with Fontan circulation. Participants will do regular aerobic exercise and be monitored for changes in heart and lung function over time.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–17 - NCT07110922Recruiting
Pacing the heart's natural electrical highway: Bachmann bundle pacing study
This trial tests a special way to place a pacemaker lead that may improve heart function by pacing the Bachmann bundle, a key electrical pathway between the upper heart chambers. It is designed for people who already need a pacemaker or an ICD with an atrial lead.
Wilkes-Barre, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02061436Recruiting
Chronic total occlusion procedure registry
This study collects data from patients who are having a procedure to open a completely blocked coronary artery. It may help improve future treatments for this condition.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05472597Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study about heart health after pregnancy
This study is continuing follow-up interviews and surveys to learn about heart health after pregnancy. If you already took part before, it may help researchers understand how postpartum health changes over time.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06216678Recruiting
Can healthy diets with plant oils improve heart health?
This study tests if adding plant oils to a healthy diet can improve cholesterol and other heart health markers in people with moderately high cholesterol. It involves following a specific meal plan and having your health monitored over several weeks.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 25–60 - NCT07613294RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lepodisiran to reduce heart plaque buildup
This study tests whether a new medicine called lepodisiran can shrink plaque in heart arteries for adults with high Lp(a) (a type of cholesterol linked to heart disease) who have had a heart event or are at serious risk. The trial uses CT scans to monitor changes in your arteries.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 45–80 - NCT06531824RecruitingPhase 3
Heart and kidney protection study for chronic kidney disease
This study tests a new medicine (BI 690517) combined with empagliflozin to see if it can help protect the heart and kidneys in people with chronic kidney disease. It may slow down kidney disease progression and reduce heart risks.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06911632Recruiting
AI-assisted check for pulmonary hypertension in interstitial lung disease
This study uses an AI tool to help doctors decide if you should be tested for pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs), which can be a complication of interstitial lung disease. If the tool suggests you might have it, you may get an echocardiogram (an ultrasound of the heart) and a right heart catheterization (a test to measure pressure in the heart) to find out for sure.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.

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.

- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
