Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT07111559RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing clot-busting drug versus two blood thinners for small stroke
This study tests whether a clot-busting drug (rt-PA) or a combination of two blood thinners (DAPT) works better for people having a small stroke caused by a blocked tiny artery in the brain. It aims to find the safest and most effective treatment within the first few hours after symptoms start.
ChūōAges 18 years+ - NCT06920303Recruiting
Comparing two tests for stroke diagnosis
This trial compares a non-invasive ultrasound test (Transcranial Colour Coded Duplex) to a CT angiography scan for diagnosing stroke. It may help find a simpler and safer way to assess strokes and transient ischemic attacks (mini-strokes).
SohagAges Any age - NCT07099599Recruiting
Image test for blood flow after stroke treatment
This trial uses a special imaging technique to check if blood flow has fully returned to the brain after a stroke clot is removed. It aims to improve understanding of how well the brain's tiny blood vessels are working after treatment.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07084012RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell treatment for recent stroke
This trial tests whether a single infusion of umbilical cord stem cells can help people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (stroke caused by a clot). It is for patients who have had their stroke within the last 72 hours and have moderate to severe symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07045987Enrolling by invitation
Early warning for futile clot removal in stroke
This study looks at how to predict when a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) might not work well for acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to build an early warning system so doctors can better decide on treatment.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07016854Recruiting
Early treatment for blocked carotid artery stroke
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - 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.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06949228RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Intra-Arterial Tenecteplase After Clot Removal for Stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT04624295RecruitingPhase 4
Aspirin soon after certain bleeding stroke, after clot-busting therapy
This trial studies whether starting aspirin early is safe and helpful for people who, after clot-busting treatment for an ischemic stroke, develop a specific type of small brain bleeding called hemorrhagic infarction. You might benefit if your scan later shows this pattern of bleeding and you are not able to take blood-thinners or aspirin is safe for you.
HangzhouAges Any age - NCT06904911RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tenecteplase into the artery after clot removal for stroke
This study tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given directly into the artery after a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal). The goal is to see if it helps improve blood flow to the small vessels in the brain after the main clot is removed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06883110Recruiting
Testing traditional Chinese medicine for recent stroke
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese medicine (Angong Niuhuang pill) made from different sources of a natural ingredient can help people who recently had a moderate stroke caused by a blood clot. It aims to see if the pill can improve recovery.
