Testing J147 for recent stroke from blocked artery
This trial tests a new drug, J147, for people who recently had a stroke caused by a blocked artery and have already had a procedure to reopen that artery. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07392450RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TAK-755 for adults with acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests if TAK-755 can help people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery by protecting brain tissue that is still salvageable.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07290751RecruitingPhase 4
Adding tirofiban to clot-busting for stroke patients
This trial tests whether adding a second medicine (tirofiban) to standard clot-busting treatment can help people who are not improving after the first hour. It is for people with a moderate to severe stroke who are not candidates for a clot-removal procedure.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07205328RecruitingPhase 2
Testing MT200605 for acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests whether MT200605 can help people who recently had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). The drug is given within 24 hours of symptoms starting, and you may join even if you received clot-busting treatment already.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT07026331Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty vs stenting after stroke treatment
This study compares two ways to keep a brain artery open after a stroke when it remains narrowed after initial treatment. It aims to reduce the risk of another stroke by improving blood flow.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06853535RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized antiplatelet therapy after stroke or TIA
This study tests whether guiding antiplatelet medication with a blood test can help prevent another stroke or TIA. It looks at people who have had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA within the last 48 hours.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05247125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing light or melatonin to help brain recovery after stroke
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT06440707RecruitingPhase 2
Brain stimulation for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06297863RecruitingPhase 2
Head-down position to improve blood flow in stroke
This study tests whether lying with your head tilted down 15 degrees can improve blood flow to the brain during a stroke. It is for people who have a clot in the middle cerebral artery and are already getting a procedure to remove the clot.
AvezzanoAges 18 years+ - NCT05604638RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban soon after tenecteplase for acute stroke flare
This trial tests whether starting tirofiban soon after tenecteplase can improve outcomes for people whose stroke symptoms temporarily get worse after treatment. It aims to see if the added medicine can reduce harmful clot-related changes after initial thrombolysis.
Chuzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT04230785Recruiting
Blood RNA test during clot-busting treatment for stroke
This trial studies special molecules in the blood (non-coding RNA) in people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with a procedure to remove clots. It may help doctors better understand how the body responds and potentially improve future stroke care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–90 - NCT06885502Recruiting
Stroke rehab with motor and cognitive assistance
This trial tests a personalized system that helps stroke survivors improve arm movement and thinking skills. It uses a device that guides your arm and mind through exercises, and you may benefit if you had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have some arm function.
Cluj-NapocaAges 18 years+ - NCT07369648Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation plus rehab for stroke recovery
