We’re tracking 10 recruiting paroxysmal atrial fibrillation studies with a site in or near San Francisco — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT05836987RecruitingPhase 3
Smartwatch-guided blood thinners for intermittent atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether using a smartwatch to monitor your heartbeat can safely guide when to take blood thinners. If you have intermittent atrial fibrillation, you may be able to avoid taking blood thinners when your heart rhythm is normal.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 22–85 - NCT06995391Recruiting
Alcohol reduction app for atrial fibrillation
This trial tests if a smartphone app can help people with atrial fibrillation reduce or stop drinking alcohol. The goal is to see if cutting down on alcohol makes AF symptoms less severe or occur less often.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06754176Recruiting
Alcohol and AFib: Avoiding vs. Allowing Drinking
This study tests whether avoiding alcohol completely for two weeks helps people with AFib have fewer episodes, compared to allowing regulated drinking. You will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT04088071Recruiting
Ablation for heart rhythm problems using a specific technology
This study looks at how well catheter ablation works for treating certain heart rhythm disorders (like atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias) using a specific brand of catheters. The aim is to gather real-world data to better understand the procedure's outcomes.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03546374Recruiting
Stop a common heart rhythm with surgery add-on therapy
This study looks at whether an added heart device approach around the time of planned open-heart surgery can help treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a long-lasting irregular heartbeat. It may help lower ongoing AF burden in people who also need non-emergency heart surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04045665RecruitingPhase 3
Blood thinner vs usual care for new heart rhythm after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether using a blood thinner in people with new, temporary atrial fibrillation after CABG (heart bypass surgery) can reduce harmful outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help prevent stroke or other complications if your rhythm problem fits the trial’s timing and risk profile.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05371405Recruiting
Using computer learning to improve care for atrial fibrillation patients
This study uses machine learning (computer pattern-finding) to better understand atrial fibrillation and guide care around the time of an ablation procedure. It may help refine how doctors treat certain AF patients based on their heart patterns.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 22–80 - NCT07626411RecruitingPhase 3
Blood Thinner Study for Irregular Heartbeat
This study tests a new blood thinner to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem). You may qualify if you have atrial fibrillation and at least one risk factor for stroke, or if you've never taken a blood thinner before.
Fremont, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07430956RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation without standard blood thinners
This trial tests a new medication to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who cannot safely take standard blood thinners. The drug works by blocking a different clotting factor, which may lower bleeding risks.
Fremont, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07175428RecruitingPhase 2
Safety of a New Blood Thinner in AFib Patients
This study tests the safety of a new blood thinner for people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who need long-term stroke prevention. If you qualify, the study will compare this medication to standard anticoagulation therapy.

What taking part in a paroxysmal atrial fibrillation 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.
