- NCT06924996Enrolling by invitation
Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05903560Recruiting

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+ - NCT06941961Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy after stroke clot removal
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–85 - NCT07092709RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for stroke patients who recently took blood thinners
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is safe and effective for people having an ischemic stroke who have recently taken blood thinners (DOACs). If you qualify, you may receive either tenecteplase or a placebo within 24 hours of your last known well time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT06987305RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting medication before clot removal for late-arriving stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-busting medication (rhTNK-tPA) before a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people who have a moderate-to-severe stroke and arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. It's for those with a large artery blockage but still enough brain tissue that can be saved.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07185022Recruiting
Clot-busting drug through artery for medium-vessel stroke
This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
Fuyang, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05024292Recruiting
Alliance study for acute stroke after clot removal
This trial tests a stroke treatment plan for adults after they have a clot removed by a catheter procedure (endovascular treatment). It focuses on people with certain artery blockages and specific scan results, aiming to improve recovery after successful clot removal.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 18–95 - NCT05833932Recruiting
Registry study of Suhexiang Pill after recent stroke
This study tracks people who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by blocked blood flow) within the last week and received Suhexiang Pill. It aims to see how outcomes and follow-up go in real-world use, which may help doctors understand who might benefit and how to monitor patients.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 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 - 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+ - NCT06963489Recruiting
Stroke biobank study for large vessel blockage
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people who had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain. The goal is to learn more about the condition by studying these samples over time.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT07139301Recruiting
Timing of blood thinners after stroke clot removal in atrial fibrillation
This study aims to find the best time to start blood thinners after emergency clot removal in people with atrial fibrillation who had a stroke. It may help reduce the risk of another stroke or bleeding.
Ma’anshan, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07526987RecruitingPhase 3
Minocycline to Help Recovery After Acute Stroke Treatment
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline, given alongside standard stroke treatment (clot-busting medication), can help reduce brain damage and improve recovery. You would receive minocycline around the time of your clot-busting treatment.
Liaocheng, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT07115511Recruiting
Surgical rescue after failed clot removal for stroke
This trial tests a surgical rescue treatment for people who have had a major stroke from a large artery blockage, but the standard clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) did not fully open the artery. The goal is to see if combining surgery with the earlier procedure can improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07313163Recruiting
Music during nursing care for stroke patients in the ICU
This trial studies if listening to music during a bed bath can improve comfort for stroke patients in the intensive care unit. It aims to make nursing care more relaxing and less stressful.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03502408Recruiting
CT or MRI blood-flow imaging in strokes treated within 6–24 hours
This study checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT04942041Recruiting
Thrombectomy for large stroke blockages at low-volume centers
This study tests whether using a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy at smaller stroke centers can improve outcomes after a large-vessel stroke. It may help people who have a major artery blockage get timely treatment, with measured effects on complications and survival.
Kristiansand, AgderAges 18–100 - 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+ - NCT06711003Recruiting
Enhanced circulation therapy for recent stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment that boosts blood flow can help people recovering from a stroke. If you had a stroke within the last month and have moderate to moderately severe disability, you may be eligible to participate and potentially improve your recovery.
TaichungAges 20 years+ - NCT06864741Recruiting

Kentville, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07001852Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for late window stroke patients selected by automated CT
This trial tests whether removing a clot from a large brain artery up to 72 hours after a stroke helps people recover better than standard care. It uses a special computer program on a regular CT scan to decide who might benefit.
