Treatment study for narrowed brain arteries in young people
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is for people under 45 whose brain arteries are narrowed. It tests an approach for “intracranial arterial stenosis” (narrowing of major arteries inside the brain) to see if it can help reduce problems from reduced blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are younger than 45 years old
- A scan has shown narrowing (stenosis) in a major artery inside the brain
- You have been told the narrowed artery is one of the main brain arteries (intracranial)
- You can share your imaging results (like CT/MRI/angiogram) with the study team

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at “angiogenic markers,” which are blood measures that may reflect how blood vessels grow, in people with significant narrowing of a brain artery. It aims to better understand these changes and how they relate to cerebrovascular disease.
This study looks at how severe narrowing of brain arteries may affect memory and thinking over time. It involves people who have had a mini-stroke or mild stroke and aims to understand the changes in cognitive function.
This study enrolls people age 40 or older who have at least 50% narrowing in one brain or neck (carotid) artery. It collects clinical information to better understand this condition and how patients are doing over time.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter to open up severely narrowed arteries in the brain. It may help reduce your risk of stroke.
This trial studies whether an intracranial stent (a small mesh tube placed inside the brain artery) improves outcomes and safety for people with severe, symptomatic narrowing of brain arteries. It may help if symptoms continue despite antiplatelet medicine or if blood flow to the brain is poor.
This study tests a special balloon-expandable stent to treat narrowed arteries in the brain that have not improved with medication. It aims to help people who have had strokes or TIAs despite taking medicines for risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes.
