Study of blood markers after stroke artery treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a large blockage in a major artery in the front part of your brain, and treatment can start within 24 hours of when symptoms began.
- Before the stroke, you were able to live on your own without needing help from others.
- Your stroke is causing at least moderate symptoms (like weakness, trouble speaking, or vision loss).
- You are not eligible if you've had a bleeding stroke, have a bleeding disorder, severe organ problems, or are pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
This study looks at inflammation signals in the body and in brain MRI scans after treatment to reopen a blocked brain artery. It may help researchers understand who benefits most from different “reperfusion” treatments like clot-busting medicine or procedures.
This trial tests a brain-protective approach given through an artery during treatment for an acute ischemic stroke when clot removal (endovascular therapy) is planned. It may help reduce brain injury related to the stroke and procedure.
This study looks at whether certain blood tests taken after a mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain) can help predict how well a patient will recover from a stroke. The goal is to find early signs that might guide future treatment and improve outcomes.
This study tests whether keeping blood pressure at different target levels after emergency clot-removal treatment (called endovascular therapy) can improve recovery from acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel blockages. The trial will help doctors understand the best blood pressure strategy for patients in the hours right after successful clot removal.
This trial looks at whether using an MRI blood-flow (perfusion) scan to help choose treatment improves outcomes for certain large-vessel strokes. You must be treated within 6–24 hours after symptoms start, with specific scan and blood test findings.
