Blood test study to predict stroke risk after TIA
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies tiny particles in your blood (called extracellular vesicles) to understand and predict stroke risk after a TIA (a temporary stroke-like episode). It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk using blood samples, rather than only symptoms and scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have had a TIA or a brain imaging scan showing a type of stroke
- For TIA: your doctor has prescribed a blood-thinning medicine (antiplatelet or anticoagulant)
- You are able to eat and drink normally by mouth
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This study looks at heart ultrasound pictures and heart-rhythm recordings to predict who may develop atrial fibrillation (AF) after a stroke or TIA. If you qualify, your results may help doctors better spot people at higher risk earlier.
This study tests whether a combination of antiplatelet drugs and artery-stabilizing medication can improve recovery after a small stroke caused by damage to tiny blood vessels in the brain. It may help prevent further strokes and support healing.
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 observational study follows people ages 18–50 who had a first TIA (“mini-stroke”) or an acute ischemic stroke to better understand what happens after the event. It may help improve future care by tracking symptoms, imaging findings, and recovery over time.
This study looks at tiny particles in your blood called extracellular vesicles to see if they can help predict how well you will recover after a stroke or brain injury. If you are starting rehabilitation soon after your stroke, you may be able to join.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests can help predict if small, silent strokes occur in the brain during heart or blood vessel procedures that carry a higher risk of clots. The goal is to better identify who might need extra protection during these procedures.
