Clinical Trials

Are you an African American or Black woman? Do you want to join a study about becoming more active? This study explores whether a group program can help women be more physically active. You must be 18 years old and exercise less than 60 minutes per week to join. The study is taking place in Columbia, South Carolina.

Are you 65 years old or older, and do you have severe primary mitral regurgitation? This condition — also called degenerative mitral regurgitation — happens when there is a problem with the mitral valve itself or its supporting tissue, leading to a leaky valve. This study is comparing the safety and effectiveness of two different ways of repairing the mitral valve: transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and surgical repair. To participate in this study, your healthcare provider must determine that you are a candidate for both mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair and surgical repair. This study takes place in multiple locations across the United States and Canada.
