Recruiting studies
- 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.
Fairhope, AlabamaAges 18–90 - NCT05098340Recruiting
Blood RNA test study for new stroke patients
This trial looks at certain molecules in the blood (called circRNA) in people who have a new ischemic stroke (a blockage in a blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what these blood signals mean soon after stroke, which could guide future treatments or monitoring.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05199194RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting before or during procedure for acute stroke
This study compares two treatment approaches for a stroke caused by a blocked brain artery: doing a procedure to remove the clot alone versus giving an IV clot-busting medicine first (tenecteplase). It aims to see which approach works better and is safest for improving recovery.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–85 - NCT05208203Recruiting
Registry study for recent stroke and mini-stroke patients
This registry collects information about people recently diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) at a specific hospital. It helps doctors understand patterns of care and outcomes, which can improve future treatment planning.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05232240Recruiting
Study blood pressure swings after stroke or TIA
This trial studies changes (“swings”) in blood pressure in people who recently had an ischemic stroke or a TIA. It may help doctors understand how blood pressure fluctuations affect recovery, even when you do not have known hypertension.
Beijing, BJAges 18 years+ - NCT05242393Recruiting
How daily body rhythms relate to recovery after stroke
This observational study looks at how your body’s daily rhythms may affect brain recovery after an ischemic stroke. It may help researchers understand what timing-related factors influence “neuroplasticity,” meaning the brain’s ability to adjust and heal.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT05247125RecruitingPhase 4
Testing light or melatonin to help brain recovery after stroke
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT05281055Recruiting
Registry of clot-removal treatment for sudden large-vessel strokes
This study keeps a record of people treated with a clot-removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for a sudden stroke caused by a blocked large blood vessel in the brain. It focuses on outcomes for patients who can be treated within 24 hours and were independent before the stroke.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT05281887Recruiting
Study of eye changes after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at how changes in the retina (the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye) track with vision and eye function after an ischemic stroke. The goal is to understand which eye changes are linked to the stroke, which could help doctors monitor recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05300997Recruiting
Test blood and antibody markers for suspected acute stroke
This study looks at blood tests to find signs of immune activity after a suspected stroke. It may help doctors diagnose stroke faster and better understand what is happening in the body soon after symptoms start.
Hong KongAges 18–100 - NCT05378490Recruiting
Study of stroke types and thrombolysis treatment
This study includes people who have had certain kinds of sudden brain blood-flow problems (like an ischemic stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brief warning episode) or conditions that look similar. It looks at how treatment such as clot-busting medicine (thrombolysis) fits for these situations.
LørenskogAges 18 years+ - NCT05410457Recruiting
Study different treatments after ischemic stroke
This trial looks at which treatment approach after an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) may lead to better outcomes. It may help doctors better choose treatments that improve recovery and prognosis.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05424978Recruiting
Standardized green-channel treatment for acute stroke care
This study tests a structured, fast way of treating people who have a new ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help because it focuses on getting the right stroke treatments quickly and consistently.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–100 - NCT05469165RecruitingPhase 2
Testing serotonin blockers after a first heart attack
This Phase 2 trial tests whether blocking serotonin receptors can help after a first heart attack that has caused a specific type of leaking mitral valve problem. It aims to see if the treatment improves heart function and heart-valve measurements while keeping patients safe.
QuébecAges 18–80 - NCT05476991RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose colchicine plus ticagrelor to prevent repeat stroke
This Phase 3 study tests whether low-dose colchicine added to ticagrelor (a blood-thinning medicine) helps prevent another ischemic stroke in people whose first stroke was caused by clogged arteries. It aims to lower the risk of repeat stroke after recovery from a recent event.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05494034Recruiting
Monitoring heart rhythms after stroke to guide care
This study uses a small implantable heart monitor to track heart rhythm in people after an acute ischemic stroke or TIA. It aims to learn how often hidden heart rhythm problems show up, which could help doctors choose better stroke prevention treatments.
AthensAges 40–100 - NCT05514340RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug for brain injury after low oxygen at birth
This Phase 2 study tests whether sovateltide can improve safety and outcomes for babies whose brains may have been injured by low oxygen around birth. It focuses on babies who show signs of moderate to severe injury soon after delivery, and who receive standard supportive care.
Mangalore, KarnatakaAges Any age - 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+ - NCT05578300Recruiting
Translating thrombectomy care into real-world practice in Asia-Pacific
This study aims to help endovascular thrombectomy for certain severe strokes work well in everyday hospital care across Asia-Pacific. You may be considered if you’re an adult with a specific type of stroke blocked in a major brain blood vessel.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05604638RecruitingPhase 3
Tirofiban soon after tenecteplase for acute stroke flare
This trial tests whether starting tirofiban soon after tenecteplase can improve outcomes for people whose stroke symptoms temporarily get worse after treatment. It aims to see if the added medicine can reduce harmful clot-related changes after initial thrombolysis.
Chuzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05626296Recruiting
Blood-sample study of stroke patterns using multiple tests
This study looks at blood and lab “molecular” patterns in people who have had an ischemic stroke (a blocked blood vessel). It aims to understand differences between people labeled as having “phlegm-heat syndrome” versus not, which may help future stroke care. You may be eligible if your stroke was recent and confirmed by MRI.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–80 - NCT05630586RecruitingPhase 2
Semaglutide shot for early stroke recovery
This Phase 2 study tests whether a semaglutide injection given under the skin soon after an acute ischemic stroke can improve recovery. It may help reduce disability, especially if treatment starts within about 4.5 hours of symptom onset.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05632432Recruiting
Heart tissue grafts to help the heart after surgery
This trial tests whether transplanting tiny heart “micrografts” from the left heart chamber area can improve heart function after cardiac surgery. It is meant for people with weakened heart pumping and heart failure symptoms despite medicine.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–75 - NCT05645081Recruiting
Blood test study to predict stroke risk after TIA
This trial studies tiny particles in your blood (called extracellular vesicles) to understand and predict stroke risk after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like episode). It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk using blood samples, rather than only symptoms and scans.
