Recruiting studies
- NCT06542653Recruiting
PCI for chronic heart artery blockages
This trial looks at how a procedure to open a long-clogged heart artery (called PCI) affects patients' long-term health. If you have had a complete blockage in a heart artery but no recent major heart attack, bypass surgery, or cancer, you may be able to join.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06559436Recruiting
Extending window for clot-busting drug in medium vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given 4.5 to 24 hours after a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized brain artery. It aims to see if waiting longer than usual still helps reduce disability.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06559475Recruiting
Testing a new aspiration catheter for large vessel stroke
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06567249Recruiting
Cooling the heart during a heart attack procedure
This study tests whether cooling the heart with a cold liquid during a procedure (angioplasty) can help reduce damage after a heart attack. It may be an option for people who arrive at the hospital quickly after a heart attack.
TomskAges 18–90 - NCT06593756Recruiting
Heart-Lung Support and Fluid Response Study
This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT06593717Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow in VV-ECMO patients
This study tests how doctors can monitor your blood flow and fluid needs while you are on VV-ECMO. It involves a simple maneuver where your legs are raised to see if your heart needs more fluid.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT06633809Recruiting
Treating minor stroke with large artery blockage
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06649240Recruiting
Best LDL cholesterol goal after small vessel stroke
This trial is testing the best target for 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) after a type of stroke caused by a small blocked vessel. You would be in one of two groups to see which LDL level helps prevent another stroke the most.
AnsanAges 19 years+ - NCT06651944Recruiting
Invisalign with jaw advancement aligners
This trial tests Invisalign clear aligners that also help move the lower jaw forward. It may be a good fit if you need both teeth straightening and jaw positioning help.
Richmond, British ColumbiaAges 10–16 - NCT06658197RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new clot-busting drug for severe stroke
This study tests a medication called tenecteplase, given before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It may help people who have had a severe stroke within the last 4.5 hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06665997RecruitingPhase 4
Depot shot for pain in women with sickle cell disease
This study tests if a hormone shot (depot medroxyprogesterone acetate) can help reduce pain episodes in women with sickle cell disease. It aims to see if the shot improves pain and markers of inflammation.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–50 - NCT06727006Recruiting
Rescue stenting and clot-dissolving medicine for severe stroke
This trial tests whether using a stent plus a clot-dissolving drug can improve outcomes for people with a large-vessel stroke who are having a procedure to remove the clot. It is designed for patients who can receive treatment within 24 hours of their first symptoms.
Bergamo, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06739356Recruiting
Balloon treatment study for severe diaphragmatic hernia in babies
This study tests a fetal surgery (fetoscopic tracheal balloon placement) to help lungs grow in babies with a severe hole in the diaphragm. It focuses on pregnancies where the liver is also in the chest and lung size is very small.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06764290Recruiting
Brain changes when walking after stroke
This study looks at how the brain changes after a stroke when people walk on different surfaces. It may help understand why walking can be harder and how therapy could improve it.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT06782100Recruiting
MRI-Guided Treatment for Severe Leg Artery Blockages
This study uses MRI to guide treatment of blocked leg arteries below the knee, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce severe pain or sores.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06793033Recruiting
A study of the Neurescue device for cardiac arrest
This trial tests an investigational device called Neurescue, used alongside standard CPR and life support to treat adults who have had a witnessed cardiac arrest. It is designed for people whose heart cannot be restarted by a shock and who receive CPR very soon after collapse.
BerlinAges 18–80 - NCT06804512RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Balance training with visual tricks for younger and older adults
This study tests whether using goggles that briefly disrupt your vision during walking exercises can improve balance better than normal walking practice. It is for healthy adults who can walk without help for 10 minutes.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–89 - NCT06807099Recruiting
Stent graft for dialysis access problems
This trial tests a special stent graft called WRAPSODY CIE to treat narrowed or blocked veins in the arm used for dialysis. It aims to keep your access working well so you can continue receiving hemodialysis.
Dothan, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06825897Recruiting
Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06857838Recruiting
Bypass surgery for symptomatic myocardial bridge
This trial tests whether bypass surgery is effective for people with a myocardial bridge (a heart muscle that arches over an artery) that still causes symptoms despite medication. It aims to see if surgery can improve symptoms and outcomes.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT06858748Recruiting
Mucus in airways: asthma, COPD, and chronic cough study
This study is looking at how mucus builds up in the airways of people with asthma, COPD, or chronic cough. Researchers will also compare findings to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions and find new ways to help.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06869811Recruiting
Stroke prevention after failed blood thinners
This study is for people who had a stroke despite taking blood thinners for atrial fibrillation. It tests if adding a procedure to close the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) to your blood thinner is better than just taking the blood thinner alone to prevent another stroke.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–95 - NCT06878482RecruitingPhase 4
Botulinum toxin injection for severe leg artery disease
This trial tests whether a single injection of botulinum toxin (a muscle-relaxing substance) into the leg can improve blood flow and help heal wounds in people with severe blocked leg arteries who cannot have standard procedures like angioplasty.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 20 years+ - NCT06878729Recruiting
Comparing two ways to open a blocked heart artery
This trial tests two procedures—antegrade dissection/re-entry and the retrograde method—to treat a completely blocked artery. It compares which technique works better for patients with complex blockages.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for occlusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 337 recruiting occlusion 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 occlusion 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 occlusion 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.
