Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05648812RecruitingPhase 3
Ultrasound tests for baby brains using special imaging
This Phase 3 study tests whether detailed ultrasound scans (with contrast and stiffness measurements) can help doctors assess a baby’s brain. It may help by improving how early brain changes are detected in newborn care settings.
Turku, Southwestern FinlandAges 1 minute–6 months - NCT05653141Recruiting
Study for thinking problems after a first stroke
This trial looks at treatments or approaches to improve thinking and memory problems after a first stroke. You may be eligible if your stroke was in the front part of the brain, confirmed by MRI, and you enroll within 10 days.
BernAges 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 - NCT05617599Recruiting
Checks safety of a stent used in complex heart artery disease
This study looks at how safe and effective a specific stent (SUPRAFLEX CRUZ) is when used in real-world care for people with heart artery blockages in more than one artery. Some participants will also be selected if their heart pumping strength is reduced.
Elche, AlicanteAges 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.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT05600374Recruiting
Brain stimulation timed to brain rhythms after recent stroke
This trial tests a special brain-stimulation approach that targets your brain’s natural 8–12 Hz rhythm to improve arm and hand recovery after stroke. It’s designed for people in the early days after an ischemic stroke, when motor recovery is still changing quickly.
Frankfurt a.M., Frankfurt a.M.Ages 18 years+ - NCT02793999Recruiting
Near-infrared monitoring to guide cooling in newborns
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 2 years - NCT05556395Recruiting
Study after stroke to help thinking and memory recovery
This trial looks at stroke patients who can show specific scan findings on an MRI, then uses thinking tests by phone to track cognitive (thinking and memory) changes. It may help researchers understand whether targeting brain blood-flow disruption can improve post-stroke cognition.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05568069Recruiting
Study of defibrillator implants for non-ischemic weak heart
This study looks at whether implantable defibrillators can reduce dangerous heart rhythms in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (heart weakness not caused by blocked heart arteries), a heart scar, and very low pumping strength despite best treatment. It compares different approaches to choosing which patients should receive these devices.
High Wycombe, BuckinghamshireAges 18 years+ - NCT05511246RecruitingPhase 2
Alcohol injection for fast heart rhythm
This trial tests injecting ethanol (alcohol) into a vein near the heart to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It may be an option for people who have an implanted defibrillator and have not found relief with other treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–85 - NCT05508035RecruitingPhase 3
Testing sacubitril/valsartan vs ramipril for heart failure
This trial compares two blood-pressure and heart-failure medicines: sacubitril/valsartan versus ramipril, to see which improves heart pumping and heart structure over time. It’s aimed at people with ischemic (blocked-artery) heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction and ongoing symptoms.
Krakow, Lesser Poland VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT03518099Recruiting
Testing blood signals after sudden bowel blood flow injury
This study is looking for signs in the body (called biomarkers) after sudden loss of blood flow to the intestines. It involves getting a CT scan to check what is happening in the abdomen so the researchers can see which signals match intestinal injury.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT05427370Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent treatment in weak heart patients
This study compares two ways to restore blood flow to the heart—bypass surgery (CABG) or stent procedure (PCI)—in people with a weak pumping heart. It looks at which approach works best when the heart muscle is not pumping well and there are multiple blocked heart arteries.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05365282Recruiting
Check how a wrist artery procedure affects hand nerve symptoms
This study looks at whether a procedure on an artery in the wrist is linked to new or worsening nerve symptoms in the hand. It may help doctors understand who is at higher or lower risk and improve safety.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05393492Recruiting
Emotion and behavior skills after a brain injury
This study tests a structured program to help people after a brain injury manage emotions and challenging behaviors, and to reduce distress for them and their families. If you (or your family member) can participate safely and understand the activities in French, you may be invited to join a group and assessments.
Illkirch-GraffenstadenAges 18 years+ - NCT05387954RecruitingPhase 3
PFO closure or blood thinners after stroke in ages 60–80
This trial studies the best way to prevent another stroke after a recent stroke in people ages 60 to 80 who have a “PFO” heart connection. It compares closing the PFO vs taking mouth blood-thinners or antiplatelet medicine, based on what your doctors determine is safest for you.
AmiensAges 60–80 - NCT05329285Recruiting
Compare bypass or stent for heart weakness from blocked arteries
This study compares two ways to improve blood flow in people with weakened heart pumping (ischemic cardiomyopathy): bypass surgery (CABG) versus stent treatment (PCI). It aims to see which approach works better when the heart still has enough at-risk muscle and when best medical therapy is already started.
GothenburgAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05303649Recruiting
Theta burst brain stimulation for language problems after stroke
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation guided by a brain scan (MRI) can improve speech and language (“aphasia”) after a stroke. It may help people who have trouble producing speech but can still understand others’ words.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT05293080RecruitingPhase 3
Early heart rhythm treatment to help prevent stroke
This trial tests an early treatment approach for people who had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) and have an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to lower the chance of having another stroke by treating AF as early as possible after the stroke.
HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05263804Recruiting
