Study brain clot makeup and blood markers after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the composition of a stroke blood clot and compares it with blood test results to understand treatment response, stroke cause, and prognosis. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care after ischemic stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You had an ischemic stroke (a blockage) caused by an artery occlusion
- You were evaluated for and managed after a mechanical thrombectomy (or were considered for it)
- You (or your family, if used in an emergency process) can give consent for the study
- If you are joining later (retrospective), your clot material is already available from your care team’s usual practice or another study

This study looks at inflammatory cells in the blood and the blood clot removed from the brain during a stroke emergency. The goal is to better understand the role of inflammation in stroke, which could lead to improved treatments.
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.
This trial studies blood clots removed from stroke patients to understand them better. If you had a stroke caused by a clot and it was taken out with a special procedure, you may be able to join.
This study looks at blood clots removed from the brain during a stroke procedure. Researchers want to understand what the clots are made of and how they relate to your blood tests, treatment success, and recovery.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests taken after a mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain) can help predict how well a patient will recover from a stroke. The goal is to find early signs that might guide future treatment and improve outcomes.
This hospital study looks at blood and clotting (coagulation) measurements in people who arrive with specific types of stroke or brain bleeding not caused by injury. It may help doctors better understand clotting changes after these events and improve care decisions.
