Recruiting studies
- NCT06656988RecruitingPhase 3

InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT06494501RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing heart attacks in middle-aged adults with early plaque
This study tests whether starting cholesterol-lowering treatment early can prevent heart attacks in people aged 30-50 who already have early signs of artery plaque but no history of heart disease.
New York, New YorkAges 30–50 - NCT04709900Recruiting
Tests for stable chest pain using heart scans and pressure measurements
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT05845489RecruitingPhase 4
Clopidogrel to prevent heart problems from minor artery plaque
This trial tests whether clopidogrel (a blood-thinning medicine) can prevent future heart attacks or strokes in people who have early, “subclinical” plaque in their heart arteries. You may be considered if scans show plaque but not major artery blockage that needs a procedure.
Seoul, OtherAges 40 years+ - NCT06939374Recruiting
Freezing heart arteries to stabilize high-risk plaques
This study tests a special cooling balloon to freeze and stabilize dangerous plaques in heart arteries that are not the main cause of your current symptoms. It aims to prevent future heart attacks.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT05700877RecruitingPhase 4
Screening and treatment for silent heart artery disease in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests a screening and intervention approach for “silent” coronary artery disease (heart artery narrowing without major symptoms) in people with type 2 diabetes. It may help prevent future heart problems by finding higher-risk cases early and starting the right treatment plan.
OdenseAges 55–75 - NCT07195149RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin dose comparison after bypass surgery
This trial tests whether a lower dose of aspirin combined with another blood thinner (prasugrel) after bypass surgery is as safe and effective as a higher dose. It is for people with stable heart disease who are scheduled for bypass surgery and have not had a recent heart attack.
BialystokAges 18 years+ - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT03635255Recruiting
Testing heart disease blood markers to predict heart events
This study looks at tiny molecules in your blood to see how they relate to future heart problems in people with coronary artery disease or other cardiovascular disease. If your results suggest higher or lower risk, it may help doctors better predict who could have adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07696533Recruiting
Comparing two imaging tests for chronic coronary syndrome
This trial sees if a carotid ultrasound is as good as a CT calcium score to detect heart disease in people with chest pain. It may help avoid more expensive or less available scans.
HarrowAges 18 years+ - NCT07380217Recruiting
Using heart pump support for complex high-risk procedures
This trial is testing whether using a special heart pump (PulseCath iVAC2L) during complex, high-risk angioplasty can help people with very weak hearts. It's for people who need a procedure for complicated coronary artery blockages.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06579326Recruiting
Using light and sound to check leg artery health
This trial uses a special imaging test (photoacoustic tomography) to see how well blood flows in the legs. It is for people with or without peripheral artery disease (PAD) to help improve diagnosis.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07521007RecruitingPhase 2
YN001 treatment for coronary artery disease
This study tests whether a new drug called YN001 can help people with coronary atherosclerosis (narrowing of heart blood vessels). The trial aims to see if it can improve outcomes in people who have early-stage blockages in their heart arteries.
Huntsville, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT04416581RecruitingPhase 4
Compare two stomach-protecting medicines to prevent bleeding
This trial compares a potassium-competitive acid blocker to a proton pump inhibitor to help prevent stomach or intestinal bleeding in people at high risk who take blood-thinning medicines. It may help reduce dangerous GI bleeding while you stay on heart/stroke medicines.
AnyangAges 19 years+ - NCT05075317Recruiting
Time-restricted eating during heart rehab program
This study tests whether “time-restricted eating” (eating only during certain hours each day) is safe and helpful for people taking part in outpatient heart rehabilitation. You may be randomly assigned to the eating schedule, and your team will compare your results during the rehab period.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05618353RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine before surgery to lower heart and inflammation complications
This trial tests whether taking colchicine around the time of surgery can reduce bad events after surgery in people at higher heart risk. It focuses on helping prevent complications related to inflammation after an operation.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05936606Recruiting
Personalized blood thinner choice after stent placement
This trial tests whether tailoring anti-platelet (blood clot prevention) treatment can better protect people at higher risk of heart or blood-vessel problems after a drug-eluting stent. It may help prevent future clots and complications, especially in patients with certain high-risk health conditions or complex stent/scar tissue features.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06179212Recruiting
Comparing exercise tests for men and women with heart disease
This study compares two different exercise test methods to see which works better for men and women with heart disease. The goal is to find a test that can help doctors design better exercise programs for you.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06995183Recruiting
Heart CT scan for relatives with high or low Lp(a)
This study uses a heart CT scan to look for early signs of heart disease in first-degree relatives of people with high or low Lp(a). It aims to find hidden risks before symptoms start.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 50 years+ - NCT07451522Recruiting
Comparing pain relief methods after heart bypass surgery
This study compares different ways to manage pain after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), which is heart bypass surgery. The goal is to find which approach works best and is safest for patients in the early recovery period.
Vladivostok, Outside USAges 18–75 - NCT06542575Enrolling by invitation
Home heart rehab with app after stent
This trial tests a home-based program that uses a smartphone app (digital therapy) to help people with high-risk heart conditions after a stent procedure. The goal is to improve recovery through exercise and lifestyle support, all from home.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT05880537Recruiting
Dialysis access graft registry using a processed donor artery
This study follows people with kidney failure who need dialysis access, when they receive an AV (artery-to-vein) access graft made from a processed donor artery. It’s meant to track safety and how well the new graft performs in real-world care.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06331208Recruiting
Mechanisms of Lung Blood Vessel Problems in Heart Failure
This study looks at how heart failure affects blood vessels in the lungs. If you have heart failure with reduced pumping ability and need a heart catheterization, you may be able to join.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06957158Recruiting
How calcium levels affect pain after abdominal surgery
This study looks at whether calcium levels in your blood can affect how much pain you feel after abdominal surgery. It may help doctors manage pain better after surgery in the future.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for peripheral artery disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 227 recruiting peripheral artery disease 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 peripheral artery disease 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 peripheral artery disease 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.
