Recruiting studies
- NCT07203625RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase before transfer for basilar artery stroke
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called Tenecteplase helps people with a severe type of stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) when given 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. Patients will then be moved to a hospital that can remove the clot. The goal is to see if the drug improves recovery.

Heart imaging for hidden clots in ESUS stroke with left ventricular disease
This study uses advanced heart scans (MRI or CT) to look for blood clots in the heart of people who had a stroke with an unclear cause, specifically if they also have a mild heart condition affecting the left ventricle. The goal is to find hidden clots that might be causing strokes.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07302854RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clot-busting medicine for medium vessel strokes
This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07344610Recruiting
Short-term high-dose statin therapy after stroke
This trial tests whether starting a high dose of a statin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) soon after a stroke can improve your cholesterol levels. It is for people who have had a stroke or have significant narrowing of arteries in the brain or neck.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT07363525Recruiting

Albumin for stroke in the front of the brain
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein naturally in your blood) can help protect your brain after an ischemic stroke in the front part of your brain. You need to be planning a procedure to open the blocked vessel.
Hradec Králové, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT07534319Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Changes After Stroke Clot Removal
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07552610Recruiting
Sivelestat sodium added to clot removal surgery for stroke
This trial tests whether adding a medication called sivelestat sodium to emergency clot removal surgery (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes in patients with a specific type of stroke caused by a large blood clot in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if this combination treatment leads to better recovery.
Weifang, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07566598Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Measurement After Stroke Treatment
This study measures how well blood flows through the brain after a special procedure to remove a blood clot causing stroke. Researchers use a tiny temperature sensor to understand blood circulation, which may help improve stroke care.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18–80 - NCT07592962Recruiting
Long-term Health Study of Lishui City Residents
This study follows healthy adults in Lishui City over time to understand how people stay healthy and live longer. Researchers will collect health information and track your wellbeing to identify factors that contribute to a long, healthy life.
Lishui, ZhejiangAges 30–80 - NCT07594314RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline after stroke clot removal surgery
This trial tests whether minocycline, an antibiotic, can reduce brain damage when given after successful clot removal surgery for acute stroke. The goal is to see if this medication helps patients recover better.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07594301RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline after successful stroke clot removal in the back brain
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline can reduce brain damage after doctors successfully remove a blood clot from the back of the brain (posterior circulation stroke) using a catheter procedure. The drug may help protect brain tissue and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07626450Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal treatment
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ischemic stroke?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 578 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.
