Recruiting studies near St. Louis
- NCT06226805RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BB-031 for recent ischemic stroke
This study tests an experimental drug called BB-031 to see if it can safely help people who have had a recent ischemic stroke (a clot that blocks blood flow to the brain). The trial is for people who can get to the hospital within 24 hours of their first symptoms and have a moderate to severe stroke.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05948566RecruitingPhase 2
Improving response to stroke treatment with an antibody drug
This Phase 2 trial tests an antibody treatment (TS23) given to people with a suspected acute ischemic stroke to improve how well they respond to stroke care. You may qualify if your stroke scan shows the right pattern of injured brain tissue and if the study drug can be given within a short time window after symptoms start.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT05611242RecruitingPhase 3
Thrombectomy for acute stroke caused by blocked neck and brain arteries
This Phase 3 trial studies whether removing a clot using a catheter (endovascular thrombectomy) works better for certain types of acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on people with a blocked neck artery plus a blockage in the brain, and who can’t get or didn’t respond to IV clot-busting medicine.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–79 - NCT06990867RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Improving blood flow recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new approach to restore blood flow in the brain after a stroke. It aims to improve recovery and brain function in people with a blocked large artery.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–90 - NCT07404852Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for reducing inflammation after stroke
This trial tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can reduce inflammation and brain injury after a stroke caused by a large blood clot.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–99 - NCT06289985Recruiting
Expanding clot removal for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06029491Recruiting
Studying a new suction device for stroke treatment
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–80 - NCT07115940Recruiting
Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–85 - NCT05691244RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.
