Check safety and use of Balt medical devices after treatment
This post-marketing study follows people after they receive Balt medical devices to make sure the devices are safe, work well, and are easy to use in real life. You may be considered if you can consent and your procedure matches their device-use rules.
AngersAges 2 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 - NCT06370182Recruiting
New catheter for clot removal in disabling stroke
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 22–85 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05970406Enrolling by invitation
High-intensity swallow therapy after ischemic stroke
This trial tests a more intensive swallow-therapy program for people with difficulty swallowing soon after an ischemic stroke. It may help improve safety and function when eating and drinking.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT05903560Recruiting
Arm versus leg access for clot removal in basilar stroke
This trial compares doing a clot-removal procedure through the arm artery versus the leg artery for an emergency stroke caused by a blocked basilar artery. It aims to see which access route is safer and more effective for restoring blood flow when time is critical.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05885932Recruiting
Stent treatment versus medicines for blocked neck artery
This study compares a drug-coated stent placed in a neck (vertebral) artery versus best medical treatment with medicines and risk-factor control. It aims to reduce problems caused by a badly narrowed artery after recent stroke-like symptoms.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05871606RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing nitric oxide during clot-removal for stroke
This Phase 1 study tests whether inhaled nitric oxide (a gas breathed through a ventilator) can improve outcomes in people having a specific kind of emergency stroke procedure to remove a clot from the brain. It focuses on patients who need general anesthesia for the clot-removal procedure and have imaging results that suggest salvageable brain tissue.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT05832762Recruiting
Clot-buster procedure for blocked neck artery stroke
This trial studies whether an emergency clot-removal procedure through the blood vessels (endovascular treatment) helps people who have a stroke caused by a blocked internal carotid artery in the neck. It compares outcomes in patients treated urgently when imaging shows the blockage is likely the main cause.
Montpellier, FanceAges 18 years+ - NCT05703386Recruiting
Study MRI changes in small-vessel stroke disease
This study looks at how “small-vessel” changes in the brain develop after an ischemic stroke, using repeated MRI scans. It may help researchers better understand what causes these changes and how to track them over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05598775Enrolling by invitation
Long-term safety follow-up for CTX0E03 after PISCES III
This study checks how safe CTX0E03 is over the long term in people who already received it in a previous PISCES III trial. It may help confirm long-term safety information for future patients, and you may contribute valuable follow-up data.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 35–75 - NCT04971564Recruiting
Blood inflammation test study in sudden brain oxygen loss
This trial looks at blood “inflammation-related” biomarkers to understand what happens early after certain sudden brain events. It may help doctors predict outcomes and tailor treatment for people like those with stroke types that sometimes need a clot-removal procedure.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT04651010Recruiting
MRI study to predict outcomes after clot removal in stroke
This study uses special MRI scans to look for patterns that may predict recovery after a specific type of stroke caused by a blocked brain artery. It may help doctors choose the best treatment and better understand who benefits most from clot removal.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT04562194Recruiting
Registry study for people already treated with NeVa thrombectomy
