This study looks at the causes of stroke and TIA by doing extra tests on patients admitted to the hospital. It aims to better understand and prevent future heart and blood vessel problems.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06961487Enrolling by invitation
Stroke treatment trial for large area brain damage
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06878066RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting treatment after stroke while on Factor Xa inhibitor
This trial tests a clot-busting drug (thrombolysis) for people who had a stroke while on a Factor Xa inhibitor blood thinner. It aims to see if the drug can still safely break up the clot and reduce disability.
Bærum, GjettumAges 18 years+ - NCT07279259RecruitingPhase 2
Blood pressure management after stroke clot-dissolving treatment
This trial tests how managing high blood pressure during clot-dissolving treatment for acute ischemic stroke affects recovery. It is for patients who have high blood pressure at the start of treatment.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07430917RecruitingPhase 2
Testing J147 for recent stroke from blocked artery
This trial tests a new drug, J147, for people who recently had a stroke caused by a blocked artery and have already had a procedure to reopen that artery. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT07392450RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TAK-755 for adults with acute ischemic stroke
This trial tests if TAK-755 can help people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if the drug can improve recovery by protecting brain tissue that is still salvageable.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07764172Recruiting
Sarcopenia in acute ischemic stroke
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke. It aims to understand how muscle wasting affects recovery, which may help improve care for stroke patients.
MoscowAges 50 years+ - NCT07371624RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of B2065 for recent ischemic stroke
This trial tests an investigational drug called B2065 for people who have had a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blockage in a blood vessel in the brain). The goal is to see if it is safe and if it might help improve recovery when given within 36 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07163299Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Cooling artery treatment with magnesium for stroke clot removal
This trial tests adding a cooled magnesium solution directly into the brain artery during standard clot removal to see if it helps limit brain damage and improve recovery. The magnesium and cooling aim to protect brain tissue while the clot is being taken out.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07749170Recruiting
Stroke treatment for blockages in smaller brain arteries
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06061185Recruiting
CT scans for recent hemorrhagic stroke
This study uses advanced CT scans to get a better look at bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). It may help doctors understand the stroke and guide care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03601702Recruiting
EmboTrap device for large stroke blockages
This trial studies whether a specific clot-removal device (EmboTrap II) works well for acute stroke caused by a large artery blockage. It may help restore blood flow faster in people who have certain scan patterns and can be treated within 12 hours.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07047326Recruiting
Urokinase for acute ischemic stroke within 6 hours
This trial tests whether the clot-busting drug urokinase can help people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). The goal is to dissolve the clot and improve recovery, as long as treatment starts within 6 hours of the first symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04171856Recruiting
Robotic training to improve movement after stroke
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT05051397RecruitingPhase 2
Breathing gas study during clot removal for stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests whether changing breathing gas (CO₂ level) during a mechanical procedure to remove a brain blood clot can improve outcomes for acute ischemic stroke. It may help by protecting the brain during the clot-removal procedure under general anesthesia.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
