Recruiting studies
- NCT07010159RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study of KPL-387 for returning pericarditis
This study tests a new medicine, KPL-387, for people whose pericarditis keeps coming back despite standard treatments. It aims to see if this medicine can reduce flare-ups and help you feel better.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT07288216RecruitingPhase 2
Switching to KPL-387 alone for well-controlled pericarditis
This study tests whether a new drug, KPL-387, can keep your pericarditis under control as your only treatment, after you have been stable on other medicines. It is for people whose pericarditis is well controlled now but who have had flares in the past.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–80 - NCT04521803RecruitingPhase 2
Higher-dose rifampicin for TB fluid around the heart
This Phase 2 study compares a higher dose versus the standard dose of rifampicin, a TB antibiotic, for people with TB-related fluid buildup around the heart. It aims to see which dose works better and is safe in improving TB pericarditis with fluid.
Mthatha, Eastern CapeAges 18 years+ - NCT05925790Recruiting
Testing immune markers in recurring pericarditis
This study looks at immune blood markers to understand different types of recurring inflammation around the heart (pericarditis). The goal is to see whether certain marker patterns (like IL-1RA antibodies and suPAR) are linked to inflammation and what might be driving it.
HomburgAges 18–90 - NCT06708299RecruitingPhase 3
CardiolRx for recurrent pericarditis
This trial tests if CardiolRx can help people with recurrent pericarditis (inflammation of the heart lining) who are stable on an IL-1 blocker and are planning to stop it. Researchers will see if CardiolRx can prevent a recurrence when the current treatment is tapered off.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06836232RecruitingPhase 2
Study of VTX2735 for recurring pericarditis
This trial tests an experimental drug called VTX2735 for people with recurring pericarditis (inflammation around the heart). It aims to see if the drug can help reduce pain and inflammation during a flare-up.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07468461Recruiting
Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis (CACP) syndrome study
This study looks at children with CACP syndrome, a rare genetic condition, to learn more about how the condition affects the body over time.
BariAges Up to 18 years - NCT06293924Enrolling by invitation
Testing fluid around the heart in recurring pericarditis
This study analyzes pericardial fluid (the fluid around your heart) to understand why pericarditis comes back. If you have pericarditis or other heart fluid buildup requiring drainage, or if you're having heart surgery, you may be able to participate.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07027683Enrolling by invitation
Heart MRI to detect hidden rupture after heart attack
This trial uses a special heart MRI to find and guide treatment for a hidden tear in the heart wall that can happen after a heart attack. It is for people who have had a STEMI and then developed early inflammation of the heart lining.
PisaAges Any age - NCT05046002Recruiting
COVID vaccine heart inflammation symptom registry
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects medical information about people who develop possible heart inflammation after a COVID-19 vaccine. It may help doctors understand how often this happens and which findings are linked to it.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 5 years+ - NCT07077304Recruiting
Cardiac imaging study for inflammatory heart diseases
This study uses heart scans (MRI or nuclear imaging) to better understand inflammatory heart conditions. If you have a suspected inflammatory heart disease and are already scheduled for one of these scans, you may be able to join.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07359690Recruiting
Study of Heart Muscle Biopsies
This study collects samples of heart muscle tissue (biopsy) to better understand heart conditions. It is for people who already need this biopsy for their healthcare.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07316075Enrolling by invitation
Heart and metabolic health in silent pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma
This study looks at heart and metabolic health in people who have pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas that do not produce extra hormones. It aims to understand whether these 'silent' tumors affect cardiovascular and metabolic health, and how they compare to other cases.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT06763549Enrolling by invitation
AI-powered wearable patch for heart and lung monitoring
This study tests an AI-powered wearable patch (the COR ECG) to see if it can better track heart and lung health. It may help doctors find problems earlier without needing bulky equipment.
Melbourne, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05610423Enrolling by invitation
Study of heart inflammation after COVID-19 vaccination in Norway
This study looks at people who may have developed myocarditis or pericarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle or the lining around the heart) shortly after a COVID-19 vaccine. It compares their health records to vaccination records to understand who is affected and when, which may help improve future care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pericarditis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting pericarditis 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 pericarditis 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 pericarditis 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.
