Guntur, Andhra PradeshAges 18–78 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06319846RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban for recent mild stroke or TIA with narrowed brain artery
This trial tests the drug tirofiban (a blood thinner) to prevent another stroke in people who have had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA and have a narrowed artery in the brain. It must be started within 24 hours of symptoms.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges 40 years+ - NCT06525168RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of DA414 in healthy volunteers
This trial tests a new medicine called DA414 in healthy people to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. It may help researchers understand the right dose for future studies.
Wuhan, Hubei.ChinaAges 18–45 - NCT06559475Recruiting
Testing a new aspiration catheter for large vessel stroke
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06629116Recruiting
Albumin treatment for large strokes after thrombectomy
