Recruiting studies
- NCT06322017Recruiting
Early vein isolation for atrial fibrillation in older adults
This study compares doing vein isolation soon after diagnosis versus usual care in people 75+ with new or early atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if early treatment prevents the condition from getting worse and improves quality of life.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges 75 years+ - NCT06363604Recruiting
Alcohol injection with ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing a new approach to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) by combining standard catheter ablation with a special injection of alcohol (ethanol) into certain heart veins. It may help people whose symptoms haven't improved with medication.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06383975Recruiting
Two new treatments for AF that returned after first procedure
This trial tests two new treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation that came back after an initial procedure. One uses a targeted chemical injection, the other uses a special energy field to re-isolate the veins involved.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT06399666Recruiting
Inflammation markers and genes in atrial fibrillation prediction
This trial looks at whether certain blood markers and genetic information can help predict atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). It studies how inflammation might play a role, and aims to find better ways to identify people at risk.
Jönköping, SmålandAges 18 years+ - NCT06402617Recruiting
Ablation of active spots in atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing a new way to treat atrial fibrillation by using a catheter to target the specific areas in the heart that trigger the irregular heartbeat. If you have persistent atrial fibrillation and haven't had prior catheter ablation, you may be eligible to join.
LondonAges 18–85 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06510556Recruiting
Testing a new mapping and ablation system for AFib
This study tests a new device (FARAFLEX) that uses pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib). You may qualify if you have persistent or paroxysmal AFib symptoms and have not had a prior ablation.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT06557616Recruiting
CoolCryo system for treating atrial fibrillation during mitral valve surgery
This trial tests a new tool called CoolCryo that freezes heart tissue to treat atrial fibrillation while you have mitral valve surgery. If you are already having this surgery and also have AF, this device could correct both problems at once.
BydgoszczAges 18 years+ - NCT06578793Recruiting
Catheter plus vein ablation for atrial fibrillation with heart failure
This trial tests whether adding a vein ablation to standard catheter ablation helps people with persistent atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It aims to find the best treatment to improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT06615596RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stopping blood thinners after successful atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial tests whether it is safe to stop taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) after a successful ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. If you have had no AF for 3 months after your first ablation, you may be able to stop these medications, reducing your risk of bleeding.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06647485Recruiting
Pulsed Field Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
Aalst, BelgiumAges 18–70 - NCT06654401Recruiting
Using electrical shock to restore normal heart rhythm after surgery
This study looks at whether giving an electrical shock (cardioversion) right after heart surgery can help people with long-lasting atrial fibrillation keep a normal heartbeat. It may help guide future treatment decisions for patients who have not gotten better with medication.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06698159Recruiting
Wider pulmonary vein isolation in AFib ablation with single-shot cryoablation
This study tests a new approach to a common procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib) called pulmonary vein isolation. It uses a single-shot cryoablation technique to treat people with paroxysmal or persistent AFib.
Pozzilli, IserniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06775028Recruiting
Integrated care for older adults with atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing a new approach to care for older adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who also have other health conditions. It aims to see if a more integrated, team-based care plan helps improve their overall health and quality of life.
HaskovoAges 65 years+ - NCT06784466Recruiting
New ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation
This study is testing a new type of ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It uses special energy to create scar tissue in the heart to block faulty electrical signals. If you have AF that isn’t controlled by medication, you may qualify.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06802081RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for weight loss in people with atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether tirzepatide, a medication that helps with weight loss and blood sugar control, can improve the heart rhythm condition atrial fibrillation. If you have AFib and are overweight or obese, this trial may be an option for you.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT06825104Recruiting
Long-term comparison of two ablation methods for persistent AF
This long-term study follows people who already completed a 12-month study comparing two types of heart ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. It looks at how well the treatments worked over time.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06833138Recruiting
Pacing vs medication for heart rate control in AF with heart failure
This trial tests whether a procedure that regulates your heart rhythm (pacing) works better than medication for people who have permanent atrial fibrillation, heart failure with a normal pumping strength, and were hospitalized for heart failure in the past year.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT06883864Recruiting
Ablation for leaky valve with constant atrial fibrillation
This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure (a way to fix abnormal heart rhythms) can help people who have both constant atrial fibrillation and severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It is for people whose heart valve leak is caused by the rhythm problem, not by valve damage.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06959121Recruiting

This study tests a new mapping technique to find chaotic electrical signals in the heart during persistent atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors better target treatment for people whose atrial fibrillation does not stop with medication.
Taipei, Outside USAges 20 years+ - NCT06973031Recruiting
Testing a new system for treating atrial fibrillation
This trial tests a new device that uses pulsed electric fields to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with AF that comes and goes or lasts for a short time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for persistent atrial fibrillation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 215 recruiting persistent atrial fibrillation 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 persistent atrial fibrillation 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 persistent atrial fibrillation 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.
