Recruiting studies
- NCT06857058Recruiting
Drug-eluting stent for brain artery narrowing
This trial tests a drug-coated stent to treat severe narrowing in brain arteries. It may help reduce the risk of stroke in people with hardened arteries in the brain.
ZhengzhouAges 18–80 - NCT07072026Recruiting
Opening blocked arteries in the brain long after stroke
This trial looks back at patients who had a procedure to reopen a major artery in the brain that had been blocked for a long time. It will help doctors learn if this treatment is safe and effective for people with chronic blockages in certain key arteries.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06683118Enrolling by invitation
Drug-coated balloon for blocked brain arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated balloon can safely open a severely blocked brain artery (at least 70% blocked) that remains symptomatic despite medication. It is designed for people who have not had a recent stroke or other major health problems.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06950242Enrolling by invitation
Laser balloon for narrowed brain arteries
This trial tests a new laser balloon catheter to widen narrowed arteries in the brain that cause stroke symptoms. It may help if you have a severely blocked artery and are healthy enough for the procedure.
Changzhou, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07197970RecruitingPhase 3
Stent for blocked brain arteries
This trial tests whether a drug-coated stent can help people with severely narrowed brain arteries that have already caused a stroke or mini-stroke. It aims to improve blood flow and prevent future strokes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04948749Recruiting
Stenting plus medication to prevent stroke from narrowed brain arteries
This trial tests whether placing a stent in a severely narrowed brain artery, along with aggressive medication, can prevent another stroke better than medication alone. It is for people who had a mild stroke within the last 30 days due to a 70-99% blockage in a major brain artery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05397405Recruiting
Improving cholesterol control after narrowing in brain arteries
This study looks at strategies to improve cholesterol treatment in adults whose brain arteries are narrowed and who have had symptoms. Better cholesterol management may help reduce future problems related to this condition.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT05550077Recruiting
Imaging study for narrowed brain arteries after stroke
This trial uses a detailed eye/brain imaging test (optical coherence tomography) to study people with significantly narrowed brain arteries after certain stroke-like events. It may help researchers better understand and monitor this condition to improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05692882Recruiting
Registry for stent treatment in narrowed brain arteries in China
This study records outcomes for people with significant narrowing in brain arteries who have treatment using a drug-eluting stent. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works and what risks or benefits to expect.
ChenzhouAges 18–85 - NCT05757505Recruiting
Intracranial stent for narrowed brain arteries after symptoms
This trial studies whether an intracranial stent (a small mesh tube placed inside the brain artery) improves outcomes and safety for people with severe, symptomatic narrowing of brain arteries. It may help if symptoms continue despite antiplatelet medicine or if blood flow to the brain is poor.
Luoyang, HenanAges 18–75 - NCT07352852Recruiting
Rapamycin-coated stent for narrowed brain arteries
This study tests a special stent that slowly releases a drug (rapamycin) to keep a narrowed brain artery open. It is for patients who have had strokes despite medical treatment.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06336174Recruiting
Thinking and Memory in Brain Artery Narrowing: A Study
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT05503225RecruitingPhase 2
Colchicine for narrowed brain arteries after recent stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests whether colchicine can help people with significant narrowing in brain arteries (from atherosclerosis) after a recent stroke or “mini-stroke.” It aims to reduce the risk related to this condition during the early period after symptoms begin.
Hong KongAges 40–80 - NCT05907629Recruiting
MRI study comparing blood thinners after a certain stroke
This trial looks at MRI scans to compare two types of blood-thinning medicines (one that affects blood-clotting and one that affects platelets) after a recent stroke caused by severe narrowing in certain brain arteries. It may help doctors understand which treatment works best while checking how the blood vessels and brain tissue look on MRI.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05028855Recruiting
Testing brain blood-flow control in recent carotid or MCA narrowing
This study tests how well your brain controls its own blood flow (“cerebral autoregulation”) after a recent TIA or ischemic stroke caused by a narrowed carotid or MCA artery. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and how to better assess brain circulation after stroke.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–80 - NCT07562178Recruiting
Pemafibrate to prevent stroke from brain artery narrowing
This trial tests whether a medication called pemafibrate can help prevent future strokes in people who have had a recent stroke or TIA (mini-stroke) caused by a narrowed artery inside the brain. The medication works by lowering triglycerides (a type of fat in the blood).
Toyoake, Aichi-kenAges 18 years+ - NCT06014723Recruiting
Balloon angioplasty for recent minor stroke or TIA
This study tests a balloon procedure to open a narrowed artery in the brain to prevent further strokes. It is for people who recently had a mild stroke or high-risk TIA from a significant blockage.
Changchun, JilinAges 30–80 - NCT06714526Recruiting
Gene test to pick best anti-clot drug for narrowed brain arteries
This trial compares using a genetic test to choose between two anti-clot medications (clopidogrel and ticagrelor) versus the usual approach of giving clopidogrel alone. It aims to see if personalized treatment can better prevent strokes in people with narrowed brain arteries.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis 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 symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis 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 symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis 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.
