Persistent Atrial Fibrillation clinical trials in Maryland
We’re tracking 8 recruiting persistent atrial fibrillation studies with a site in Maryland — including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Maryland
- 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.
Lanham, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06735534Recruiting
Repeat ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation with pulsed field
This trial tests a newer type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have already had one ablation. The goal is to see if it can fix the heart rhythm problem again.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06455098Recruiting
Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
This study tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation using a special catheter to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of heart rhythm problem that comes and goes. It may be an option for people whose AF hasn't been controlled well with medication.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06500988Recruiting
Smartphone app for atrial fibrillation and weight management
This study uses a smartphone app and activity tracker to help people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and a higher body weight manage their condition through tailored exercise guidance.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06445439Recruiting
Finding the Best Pacemaker Rate for Heart Failure
This study tests whether adjusting the pacing rate on a special pacemaker (CRT or conduction system pacing) can improve heart function and daily symptoms in people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–90 - 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.
Ft. Washington, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.

What taking part in a persistent 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.

Common questions
- Are there persistent atrial fibrillation clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting persistent atrial fibrillation studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a persistent atrial fibrillation study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a persistent atrial fibrillation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New persistent atrial fibrillation studies open in Maryland regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
