Living with a heart condition?
Enroll in one of our cardiovascular risk, cholesterol and triglycerides, Afib, or stroke studies
Those who qualify may receive*:
- Payment up to $2000, which varies by study
- Study-related care from local doctors at no cost
- Study medication at no cost
There is no obligation, so see if you may qualify now.
Now enrolling studies for cardiovascular risk, cholesterol and triglycerides, atrial fibrillation (AFib), and stroke.
Our heart disease research studies, also called clinical trials, are looking at how safe investigational medications are for different heart diseases. Heart disease clinical trials can include people with:
- cardiovascular risk and diabetes
- very high cholesterol and triglycerides
- atrial fibrillation (AFib)
- stroke
People can only receive investigational medications as part of clinical research studies. Investigational medications are not yet approved by health authorities. Some people participate in research studies to contribute to medical science and help doctors find other ways to help patients.
How Does It Work?
It is simple to find out if you may qualify:
Step 1
Answer some questions about you and your health.
Step 2
We’ll check if there is a study near you that you may be eligible for.
Step 3
Confirm your interest and we’ll be in touch shortly about next steps.
Remember, there is no obligation at any time. Complete the survey now to see if you may qualify. It’s quick and easy and will only take a few minutes.
A clinical research study, also called a clinical trial or research study, is a carefully designed scientific evaluation of a potential new medication. Clinical research studies are conducted by doctors and researchers. A clinical research study helps to answer important questions about a potential new medication, such as:
- How safe is the potential new medication?
- Does it work?
A potential new (investigational) medication, also sometimes called an investigational drug or a study medication, has been tested in a laboratory. Based on those results, it has been approved by health regulatory authorities for testing in people. An investigational medication also may be a medication that is approved for the treatment of one disease or condition but is still under investigation for use in other diseases or conditions. An investigational medication can only be used in clinical research studies.
All potential new (investigational) medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved by authorities to be prescribed to patients. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new medications.
If you would like to know whether you or your loved one might be able to take part in the study, please fill out the questionnaire. You will be told immediately if there is a match. If you or your loved one pre-qualify, we will connect you/them to a clinical research study center in your/their area. We will also help schedule the first study appointment at the study center. Please note: During the screening process, the study doctor or study team will check additional criteria before someone can join the study.
The study-required potential new (investigational) medication or placebo will be provided at no cost. The person taking part in the study will also receive study-related care from a team of experienced doctors and nurses throughout the study at no cost.
Clinical research studies must undergo rigorous reviews and follow strict rules. These rules help to ensure that the rights, safety, and well-being of participants are at the forefront of any study.
Participating in a clinical research study comes with risks as well as benefits. Before joining a study, potential participants must make sure they understand the benefits, such as getting access to study-related medical care and maybe helping others in the future. They must also understand the risks, such as unknown side effects. Potential study participants can take as much time as they need to decide whether to take part and get as much information as they can. Before joining a study, the potential study participant will be asked to sign an informed consent form, which will include a full explanation of the study, including its potential risks. If the potential study participant is not capable of giving informed consent, a legally authorized representative may provide informed consent on their behalf. In this situation, the potential study participant would provide informed assent.
It is a personal decision to take part. Participation in a study is voluntary. Please also consider:
- If a decision is made to participate, you/the person taking part can withdraw at any time during the study.
- The study team will explain the possible benefits and risks of the study during the informed consent process.
- A person does not have to join any study if they don’t want to.
- A team of doctors and nurses will carefully monitor the health of people taking part during the study.
- The potential new (investigational) medication or placebo will be provided at no cost.
- Taking part in the study may help other people with heart disease in the future.
