Recruiting studies near Los Angeles
- NCT02910180Recruiting
Biobank study of genetic and metabolic data in brain blood vessel disease
This study collects genetic and other health information from people with brain blood vessel (cerebrovascular) problems. It aims to help researchers understand causes and patterns that could lead to better care in the future.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05518305Recruiting
Predicting recurrent stroke risk in people with artery narrowing
This study looks at blood markers and brain/artery scan results to predict who with intracranial artery narrowing is more likely to have another stroke. It may help doctors spot higher-risk people earlier and better target prevention.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05338697Recruiting
Early testing after stroke to predict recovery outcomes
This study checks early brain and arm/hand signals soon after a stroke to better predict how well people recover by about 90 days. It may help future, better-targeted stroke recovery studies by improving how recovery chances are measured early.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05065216RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Study drug for acute ischemic stroke started within 24 hours
This trial tests whether an investigational study drug can improve outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by blocked blood flow). You may be eligible if you are able to start treatment quickly after symptom onset and have a moderate stroke severity on a standard stroke exam.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05948566RecruitingPhase 2
Improving response to stroke treatment with an antibody drug
This Phase 2 trial tests an antibody treatment (TS23) given to people with a suspected acute ischemic stroke to improve how well they respond to stroke care. You may qualify if your stroke scan shows the right pattern of injured brain tissue and if the study drug can be given within a short time window after symptoms start.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06027788Recruiting
Embolic protection during heart valve surgery
This trial tests a device that may help protect your brain from small particles during heart valve surgery. It is for people 60 and older having certain types of valve replacement or repair.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03737786Recruiting
Sedation with collateral support for stroke clot removal
This trial tests a specific sedation approach, along with support during the procedure, for people having emergency clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy) for a certain type of acute ischemic stroke. It may help make the procedure safer and more effective by improving how patients are managed during endovascular treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–110 - 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+ - NCT05911568Recruiting
Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05611242RecruitingPhase 3
Thrombectomy for acute stroke caused by blocked neck and brain arteries
This Phase 3 trial studies whether removing a clot using a catheter (endovascular thrombectomy) works better for certain types of acute ischemic stroke. It focuses on people with a blocked neck artery plus a blockage in the brain, and who can’t get or didn’t respond to IV clot-busting medicine.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT05963698Recruiting
Closing off a heart pouch to prevent stroke
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
Pasadena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06386874Recruiting
Magnetic field therapy for arm recovery after stroke
This study tests a new magnetic device applied to the head to help improve arm function after a stroke. You will use the device while doing exercises, and a caregiver will support you with a mobile app and video calls.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 22–80 - NCT06029491Recruiting
Studying a new suction device for stroke treatment
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06226805RecruitingPhase 2
Testing BB-031 for recent ischemic stroke
This study tests an experimental drug called BB-031 to see if it can safely help people who have had a recent ischemic stroke (a clot that blocks blood flow to the brain). The trial is for people who can get to the hospital within 24 hours of their first symptoms and have a moderate to severe stroke.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07430917RecruitingPhase 2
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 - 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 - NCT05691244RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours
This Phase 3 trial studies sovateltide (and a placebo) in adults with an ischemic stroke, aiming to improve safety and outcomes. It focuses on people who can start treatment quickly after stroke symptoms begin and who do not have bleeding in the brain on imaging.

What taking part in a ischemic stroke study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
