Cardiovascular Clinical Trials
Discover breakthrough clinical trials for heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular conditions, including innovative treatments that are transforming cardiac care.
Understanding Cardiovascular Disease
What is Cardiovascular Disease?
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses a range of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke. It's the leading cause of death globally, affecting millions of people.
- • Leading cause of death worldwide
- • Affects heart, blood vessels, and circulation
- • Includes heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease
- • Often preventable through lifestyle changes
Current Treatment Challenges
While treatments like medications, stents, and bypass surgery can help manage cardiovascular disease, many patients continue to experience:
- • Recurrent cardiovascular events
- • Medication side effects
- • Limited treatment options for advanced disease
- • Need for better preventive strategies
- • Personalized treatment approaches
Current Clinical Trials
Novel Antiplatelet Therapies
Investigational medications that prevent blood clots more effectively while reducing bleeding risk in heart disease patients.
Phase: III
Status: Recruiting
Locations: Multiple sites
Stem Cell Therapy for Heart Failure
Revolutionary stem cell treatments that aim to regenerate damaged heart tissue and improve heart function in heart failure patients.
Phase: II
Status: Active
Locations: Specialized centers
Advanced Lipid-Lowering Therapies
Next-generation cholesterol medications that target specific pathways to reduce cardiovascular risk more effectively than current treatments.
Phase: II/III
Status: Recruiting
Locations: Nationwide
Innovative Treatment Approaches
Gene Therapy for Heart Disease
Revolutionary gene therapy approaches that target specific genetic factors contributing to cardiovascular disease, potentially offering long-term solutions for heart conditions.
- • Targets genetic risk factors
- • Potential for long-term protection
- • Personalized treatment approaches
- • Reduced need for lifelong medications
Early results show promising outcomes with improved cardiovascular health markers.
Regenerative Medicine
Advanced regenerative therapies using stem cells, growth factors, and tissue engineering to repair damaged heart tissue and restore cardiac function.
- • Repairs damaged heart tissue
- • Improves heart function
- • Reduces scar tissue formation
- • Potential for heart regeneration
Clinical trials show improved heart function and quality of life for heart failure patients.
