Recruiting studies
- NCT06075628Recruiting
CT scan study after LAA closure procedure
This study looks at long-term outcomes after LAA closure (a procedure to reduce stroke risk) by reviewing CT scans of the device. It aims to learn if blood flow around the device affects healing and future health.
Overland Park, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06085612Recruiting
How carotid artery blockage affects blood flow in the retina
This trial examines how a narrowing of the main neck artery (carotid stenosis) impacts blood flow in the retina using a special eye test called automated retinal oximetry. The goal is to better understand how this blockage affects eye health.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT06225752RecruitingPhase 3
Probucol for recent stroke or mini-stroke from narrowed arteries
This study tests whether the drug probucol can help people who recently had a stroke or mini-stroke caused by a narrowed artery in the brain or neck. It aims to reduce the risk of future strokes.
WuhuAges 40 years+ - NCT06241677Recruiting
Clot-busting therapy for stroke patients on blood thinners
This study tests whether giving a clot-busting medicine through an IV can help people who have had a stroke while taking a common blood thinner (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban). It may be an option if your last dose of the blood thinner was 12 to 48 hours before the stroke and you arrive at the hospital within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
Hong KongAges 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.
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+ - NCT06383182Recruiting
Study of blood markers after stroke artery treatment
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
ShenyangAges 18–80 - NCT06473272Recruiting
Ultrasound to study neck artery plaques and predict risk
This study uses different ultrasound techniques to look at plaques in the neck artery and predict future heart or stroke events. It may help doctors understand which plaques are more dangerous.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40–100 - NCT06506279Recruiting
Brain stimulation for arm recovery after stroke
This trial tests a new brain stimulation device to help people recover arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for those who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and still have moderate arm weakness.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 22–75 - NCT06489470Recruiting
Surgery for severe stroke in the middle cerebral artery
This trial tests a surgery called strobectomy for people with a major stroke in the middle cerebral artery. It might help if you are within 48 hours of symptoms and have no other serious brain conditions.
Rostock, Mecklenburg-VorpommernAges 18 years+ - NCT06498323RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing TNK vs TPA for stroke in a mobile unit
This trial compares two clot-busting medicines, TNK and TPA, given through an IV in a special ambulance (Mobile Stroke Unit) to treat acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to see which drug works better when started quickly after symptoms begin.
BangkokAges 18 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 - NCT06545591Recruiting
Predicting stroke treatment success with a blood test
This trial studies a blood marker called sTREM to see if it can help predict outcomes after a mechanical clot removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for large-vessel stroke. If you have had a stroke due to a large artery blockage within the last 24 hours and plan to have this procedure, you may be able to join.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06557135Recruiting
Arm vs. Leg Artery for Carotid Stenting
This study compares two ways to reach the blocked neck artery during a stent procedure: through an artery in your arm versus one in your groin. The goal is to see which route is safer and works better for patients who need this treatment.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06560203Recruiting
Basilar artery stroke trial for later treatment
This trial tests if endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot) can help people who have had a stroke in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and can be treated within 72 hours, even if they are not eligible for clot-dissolving medicine. The treatment may improve recovery compared to standard care alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06629116Recruiting
Albumin treatment for large strokes after thrombectomy
This trial tests if giving a protein called albumin after a large stroke can improve recovery. Albumin may help reduce brain swelling and damage. You may qualify if you had a large stroke in the front part of the brain, got a clot-removal procedure, and meet certain age and health criteria.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 18–80 - NCT06645405Recruiting
AI scan reading for stroke caused by large vessel blockage
This trial tests whether an AI program can better read CT scans to find large blood vessel blockages that cause stroke. If you had a stroke from a blocked large vessel and already had CT scans, the AI may help doctors decide on treatment faster.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–95 - NCT06646601Recruiting
Garden-based program for heart and stroke recovery
This trial tests a preventive program that uses a therapeutic garden to help people with heart or blood vessel conditions. It looks at whether patients find the program helpful and easy to take part in.
GapAges 18 years+ - NCT06663631RecruitingPhase 1
Hibernation-like therapy for stroke recovery after clot removal
This trial tests if a hibernation-like therapy can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who are having a stroke and are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06666764RecruitingPhase 3
Oxygen therapy for stroke patients transferred for clot removal
This trial tests whether giving high-concentration oxygen (normobaric oxygen) during transfer to a hospital that can remove a blood clot can help people with acute ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are being transferred specifically for endovascular therapy (EVT) to remove a large clot in the brain.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 577 recruiting 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 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 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.
