Recruiting studies
- NCT07167550RecruitingPhase 3
Testing Dimephosphon for recent ischemic stroke recovery
This study tests an investigational drug called Dimephosphon to see if it helps people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a clot). It is for adults ages 35–80 whose symptoms began 24 to 72 hours ago and who have not received clot-busting treatments.
Vsevolozhsk, Leningradskaya Oblast'Ages 35–80 - NCT07171242Recruiting
Stroke patient registry study
This study is a registry that collects information from people who have had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain). By tracking this information, researchers hope to better understand the condition and improve care for future patients.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07163299Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Cooling artery treatment with magnesium for stroke clot removal
This trial tests adding a cooled magnesium solution directly into the brain artery during standard clot removal to see if it helps limit brain damage and improve recovery. The magnesium and cooling aim to protect brain tissue while the clot is being taken out.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07139301Recruiting
Timing of blood thinners after stroke clot removal in atrial fibrillation
This study aims to find the best time to start blood thinners after emergency clot removal in people with atrial fibrillation who had a stroke. It may help reduce the risk of another stroke or bleeding.
Ma’anshan, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07139314Recruiting
Timing of blood thinners after stroke clot removal
This trial is testing the best time to start blood thinners (anticoagulation) after emergency stroke treatment in people who have atrial fibrillation. It is for patients who had a certain type of bleeding in the brain after the procedure.
Ma’anshan, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07119021RecruitingPhase 4
Ultra-early stroke treatment with neuroprotection and clot removal
This trial tests a new approach for treating acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting. It combines a special mobile stroke unit that delivers early brain-protecting medicine with standard clot-busting or clot-removal procedures, to see if this can improve recovery.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07107022Recruiting
Study of Penumbra System for acute ischemic stroke
This study is collecting information on how well the Penumbra System works and how safe it is when used to remove blood clots in people having a certain type of stroke. It is for patients who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove the clot) using this device as the first treatment.
Nedlands, Western AustraliaAges 18–80 - NCT06882577Recruiting
Heart evaluation after stroke treatment
This study checks how the heart is doing in people who had a stroke caused by a clot and received treatment. It aims to learn how the heart recovers after the stroke is treated.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07096687Recruiting
Cooling treatment for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether lowering body temperature (targeted temperature management) can help people who have had a stroke within the last 48 hours. It focuses on strokes caused by a blockage in a specific part of the brain's blood supply, and aims to see if cooling can reduce brain damage.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06943885Recruiting
Mobile Stroke Unit vs Standard Ambulance for Stroke
This study compares a special ambulance equipped with a CT scanner and video link to stroke doctors (mobile stroke unit) versus standard emergency services for people having a stroke. It tests whether getting faster, specialized care on the way to the hospital improves recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06959199Recruiting
Treating stroke beyond 24 hours with artery-opening procedure
This study tests whether opening a blocked large artery in the brain up to 5 days (or even 7 days if symptoms are worsening) after a stroke can improve outcomes. It uses a catheter-based treatment (endovascular therapy) for people who have not responded to standard care and have limited brain damage so far.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07094763Recruiting
Tenecteplase for posterior stroke 4.5-24 hours after onset
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It may be an option if you can get treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after symptoms started.
HefeiAges 18–100 - NCT07085390Recruiting
Comparing two catheters for stroke clot removal
This study compares two types of catheters (thin tubes) used during a stroke procedure to remove a blood clot. The goal is to see which one works better for clearing blockages in large blood vessels in the brain.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07080567RecruitingPhase 2
Testing maraviroc for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests whether the drug maraviroc can help people who recently had a stroke recover arm movement faster. You may be eligible if your stroke was within the last 7 days and your arm is weak but you can still wiggle your fingers.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06548269Recruiting
Assessing stroke recovery in patients with atrial fibrillation
This study watches how people recover from a recent stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (or AFib). It aims to find better ways to predict recovery and guide future care.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07069452Recruiting
Predicting recovery after stroke with brain scan scores
This study looks at how well different scores from brain scans can predict recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke and were treated with both clot-dissolving medicine and a clot removal procedure.
GonesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06984965Recruiting
Using EEG to Distinguish Types of Stroke
This study uses an EEG (a cap that records brain waves) to help tell the difference between two types of stroke: ischemic (caused by a clot) and hemorrhagic (caused by bleeding). It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster for patients who have a stroke.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT06437600Recruiting
Immediate balloon angioplasty for severe stroke with brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether doing an angioplasty (a procedure to open a narrowed artery with a small balloon) as soon as possible after a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a brain artery can improve recovery. It is for people who arrive within 24 hours of their stroke and have a specific type of narrowing inside the skull.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07053917RecruitingPhase 1
Psilocybin therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a medicine called psilocybin (a psychedelic compound) can help people who had a stroke more than a year ago. It aims to see if the therapy can improve healing and flexibility in the brain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07052045Recruiting
One-stop emergency care for fast stroke treatment
This trial tests a streamlined approach to quickly start endovascular therapy for people having a severe ischemic stroke caused by a blocked large or medium brain artery. It aims to reduce delays and improve recovery by coordinating the care team as soon as you arrive at the hospital.
NurembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07047326Recruiting
Urokinase for acute ischemic stroke within 6 hours
This trial tests whether the clot-busting drug urokinase can help people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). The goal is to dissolve the clot and improve recovery, as long as treatment starts within 6 hours of the first symptoms.

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07043686Recruiting
Cerebrolysin for early stroke recovery
This trial tests if adding Cerebrolysin to standard rehabilitation helps people recover arm and hand function better after a first-time, moderate stroke. You may be eligible if you had a stroke and can follow simple instructions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 447 recruiting acute ischemic stroke studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute ischemic stroke trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute ischemic stroke trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
