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 blood and clot samples from people who have had a stroke to understand how inflammatory cells behave. It may help doctors learn more about why strokes happen and improve treatments in the future.
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 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.
This study looks at the blood clots removed from the brain during a procedure called thrombectomy. By studying them, researchers hope to learn more about how to treat strokes and what causes them, which could help improve care.
This study looks at blood markers of inflammation in people who have a stroke caused by a blocked vessel and then have a procedure to remove the clot. It aims to see if these markers can predict how well people recover.
