Study of blood thinner response after carotid stent
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well clopidogrel works in adults who receive a carotid artery stent and are on dual blood thinners. It may help doctors understand why some people don’t get the expected benefit and improve treatment after stenting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must agree (give consent) to join the study

This study tests whether taking a single blood-thinning medication (instead of two) after heart stent placement is safe and effective over the long term. If you've recovered well from a stent procedure, this trial may help determine the safest way to prevent future heart problems.
This study looks at whether a blood test can show how well clopidogrel works for you after a stent is placed in a narrowed brain artery. It aims to find out if people who don't respond well to clopidogrel have a higher chance of another stroke.
This study looks at how blood clotting works in people with carotid artery stenosis (narrowing of the neck arteries that supply the brain). It compares people with or without symptoms and with or without type 2 diabetes, to better understand clotting and potentially improve future treatments.
This study compares two ways to manage blood thinners after a stent. It tests whether switching from stronger drugs (prasugrel or ticagrelor) to clopidogrel is safe and effective for long-term heart protection.
This study tests if a single blood thinner (ticagrelor) works well enough after getting a heart stent, instead of the usual two blood thinners. It may simplify your daily medication routine.
This trial tests if taking two blood thinners (dual antiplatelet therapy) after a carotid artery stenting procedure is safe and effective for patients who have a higher risk of bleeding. It focuses on people with significant blockages in the neck arteries who are also at increased risk for serious bleeding or brain bleeds.
