Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06898762Recruiting
National study on inflammatory heart disease for patients with symptoms
This study is creating a national registry to learn more about inflammatory myocardial disease (inflammation of the heart muscle). If you have symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, or certain test results, you may be eligible to join and help advance research.
Murcia, MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06686862RecruitingPhase 3
Anti-inflammatory drugs for acute myocarditis
This trial tests if non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen, help people with acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) who are hospitalized but have normal heart function. It aims to see if these drugs can reduce inflammation and improve recovery.
Majadahonda, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT04654988RecruitingPhase 4
Immunosuppression study for active myocarditis or inflammatory cardiomyopathy
This Phase 4 study tests whether weakening the immune system (immunosuppression) works better for people with active myocarditis or inflammatory cardiomyopathy. It includes extra heart tests—two heart muscle biopsies and two heart MRI scans—to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
WarsawAges 18–65 - NCT04844151Recruiting
Registry study for acute myocarditis with heart imaging
This study collects information from people with newly diagnosed acute myocarditis using heart scans and, in some cases, a biopsy. It aims to understand what predicts recovery and which test results matter most for outcomes.
ParisAges 15 years+ - NCT05150704RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid treatment for suspected acute myocarditis in hospital
This study tests whether steroid medicine helps people hospitalized with suspected acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart). Participants are randomly assigned to receive steroids or a placebo, and the trial looks at outcomes after the acute episode starts.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–69 - NCT05855746RecruitingPhase 3
Colchicine vs placebo for acute myocarditis
This trial tests whether colchicine (a medicine that reduces inflammation) improves outcomes in people with acute myocarditis soon after symptoms start. Half of participants get colchicine and half get a placebo to see which works better.
BronAges 18–65 - NCT06010199Recruiting
Biomarker risk study for myocarditis patients
This study looks at certain markers in your blood to better understand the risk level of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle). It may help doctors know how to best monitor and treat your condition.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 3–80 - NCT06158698RecruitingPhase 3
Colchicine for heart inflammation with arrhythmias
This trial tests whether the drug colchicine can help people with heart muscle inflammation (myocarditis) that also causes abnormal heart rhythms, a weak heart pump, or high stress markers. Colchicine is an anti-inflammatory medicine that might reduce heart damage and improve symptoms.
Naples, CampaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06730607Recruiting
Predicting heart rhythm problems after myocarditis
This study uses heart MRI scans to predict who might develop dangerous heart rhythms after recovering from myocarditis. It aims to find better ways to monitor patients and prevent emergencies.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06734689Recruiting
Genes and heart inflammation from immunotherapy
This study looks at genetic factors that may affect the risk of heart inflammation (myocarditis) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), a type of cancer immunotherapy. It aims to find out if your genes make you more likely to develop this side effect.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06818149Recruiting
Studying heart inflammation from immunotherapy in lung cancer
This study looks for specific markers in the blood that can help doctors better understand and treat heart inflammation (myocarditis) caused by immunotherapy in people with lung cancer. If you join, you will help find ways to improve care for other patients.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT06889662Recruiting
Genetic testing study for arrhythmic myocarditis
This study tests whether looking at your genes can help doctors understand and treat arrhythmic myocarditis (a type of heart muscle inflammation that can cause irregular heartbeats). It may help find better treatments for people with this condition.
Milan, Italy/MilanAges 10–80 - NCT07079605Recruiting
Sepsis and heart inflammation study
This trial looks at how sepsis (a severe response to infection) affects the heart, specifically whether it causes inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). It may help understand and improve care for people with sepsis.
Jimma, OromiyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07633587Recruiting
Cancer Survival Study After Heart Inflammation from Immunotherapy
This research tracks outcomes for cancer patients who developed heart inflammation (myocarditis) while receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. By studying survival patterns, researchers hope to better understand how to manage this serious side effect and improve care for future patients.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myocarditis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 50 recruiting myocarditis 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 myocarditis 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 myocarditis 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.
