Study of inflammation after a new stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 50 or older
- Have had a new ischemic stroke confirmed by MRI, with the scan done within 72 hours of symptom onset
- The MRI should show an injury in the brain cortex or a certain type of deep brain area (not brainstem/cerebellum)
- Be able and willing to sign written consent and join follow-up visits/assessments
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding

This study looks at how your immune system reacts to stroke treatments like clot-busting drugs or mechanical clot removal. The goal is to see if immune markers can predict recovery, which could help tailor future stroke care.
This study looks for biological and imaging markers that may predict heart/vascular outcomes after an ischemic stroke. You may join if you are eligible for standard stroke treatment and can complete planned follow-up and MRI scans.
This study looks at how the brain's connections change after a stroke and its treatment. It uses MRI scans to understand recovery and may help improve future stroke care.
This study looks at how blood clots form and contribute to an acute ischemic (clot-related) stroke. It uses PET-CT scanning to better understand the process and may help improve how future stroke treatments are targeted.
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see how blood flows in the brain after a stroke or mini-stroke. It could help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing in one of the main arteries in the neck or head.
This study uses a special heart MRI to look for inflammation after a stroke. It aims to understand if the brain injury affects the heart, which could lead to better care.
