Recruiting studies
- NCT07716488Recruiting
Screening for high cholesterol in children with chronic conditions
This study screens children and teens with certain chronic conditions (like heart defects or inflammatory bowel disease) for early signs of high cholesterol or other lipid problems. The goal is to find and manage these risks sooner.
JenaAges 6–18 - NCT05504928Recruiting
School program to prevent hidden heart valve disease
This study tests whether a prevention program done at a specific school can reduce how common “latent” (hidden) rheumatic heart disease is in children. If you attend the study’s school in Tulsipur, this program may be offered to help protect students’ heart health over time.
Tulsi̇̄purAges 5–16 - NCT05783375Recruiting
Rheumatic heart prevention program for Ugandan communities
This study helps deliver prevention care for rheumatic heart disease in specific districts of northern Uganda. If you live there (or provide care in the selected clinics), the program may offer extra support to help stop heart damage before it starts.
Kampala, UgandaAges 5 years+ - NCT06720272Recruiting
School program to prevent rheumatic heart disease
This study tests whether a program in schools can help prevent rheumatic heart disease in children. If your child is between 5 and 16 years old and attends a participating school, they may be able to join.
KathmanduAges 5–16 - NCT07146048RecruitingPhase 3
Stopping penicillin for early rheumatic heart disease
This trial tests whether it is safe to stop taking daily penicillin for children and teens whose rheumatic heart disease has improved or stayed mild. If you took part in the GOALIE study and your heart condition is now stable, this study may help determine if you can safely stop medication.
Kampala, UGAges 5–20 - NCT07556185Recruiting
Testing a home heart health monitoring app for kids
This study tests whether young people with heart conditions can use a home monitoring app called Medly to track their symptoms and weight. The app may help doctors catch problems earlier and keep kids healthier at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8–18 - NCT07188805RecruitingPhase 3
Finerenone for children with heart failure
This study tests a new medicine called finerenone (a pill) to see if it helps children with heart failure who have a weak pumping heart. It compares finerenone to a placebo (a pill with no medicine) while both groups continue their usual heart treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 6 months–17 years - NCT07192952RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety of finerenone in children and young adults with heart failure
This study tests the long-term safety of the drug finerenone when taken alongside standard heart failure treatments in children and young adults with weakened heart pumping function (left ventricular systolic dysfunction). It includes both children already in a related study and new infants under 6 months old.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Up to 18 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rheumatic heart disease in children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 8 recruiting rheumatic heart disease in children 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 rheumatic heart disease in children 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 rheumatic heart disease in children 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.
