ChenzhouAges 18–85 - NCT05757505Recruiting
Intracranial stent for narrowed brain arteries after symptoms
This trial studies whether an intracranial stent (a small mesh tube placed inside the brain artery) improves outcomes and safety for people with severe, symptomatic narrowing of brain arteries. It may help if symptoms continue despite antiplatelet medicine or if blood flow to the brain is poor.
Luoyang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT06902740RecruitingPhase 4
PCSK9 inhibitor with statin for asymptomatic brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether adding a PCSK9 inhibitor to standard statin therapy can help people with narrowing in brain arteries that hasn't caused symptoms yet. The goal is to see if this combination lowers plaque and prevents future strokes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07352852Recruiting
Rapamycin-coated stent for narrowed brain arteries
This study tests a special stent that slowly releases a drug (rapamycin) to keep a narrowed brain artery open. It is for patients who have had strokes despite medical treatment.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06683118Enrolling by invitation
Drug-coated balloon for blocked brain arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can safely open a severely blocked brain artery (at least 70% blocked) that remains symptomatic despite medication. It is designed for people who have not had a recent stroke or other major health problems.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06754956Recruiting
MRI Study of Artery Plaques Using Different MRI Scanners
This study investigates the build-up of fatty deposits called plaques in arteries of the brain and neck using two different strengths of MRI scanners. It aims to understand how well these MRI techniques can image the plaques, which could help doctors better diagnose and manage stroke risk.
ShanghaiAges 18–95 - NCT05503225RecruitingPhase 2
Colchicine for narrowed brain arteries after recent stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests whether colchicine can help people with significant narrowing in brain arteries (from atherosclerosis) after a recent stroke or “mini-stroke.” It aims to reduce the risk related to this condition during the early period after symptoms begin.
Hong KongAges 40–80 - NCT05907629Recruiting
MRI study comparing blood thinners after a certain stroke
This trial looks at MRI scans to compare two types of blood-thinning medicines (one that affects blood-clotting and one that affects platelets) after a recent stroke caused by severe narrowing in certain brain arteries. It may help doctors understand which treatment works best while checking how the blood vessels and brain tissue look on MRI.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07085299Recruiting
Gut bacteria and recovery in brain artery narrowing
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut might affect outcomes in people with narrowed brain arteries. Researchers will track your health over time to see if there are links between your gut bacteria and your recovery.
