Magnetic nanoparticles to treat stroke clots
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to deliver a clot-dissolving treatment to the brain using tiny iron particles and a magnetic field. It’s for people who had a stroke within the past 24 hours and have a clot in a medium-sized brain artery that hasn’t been completely removed yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic stroke (a clot blocking blood flow to the brain) and it’s been less than 24 hours since you were last feeling normal.
- You are 18 years or older.
- A brain scan (CT or MRI) shows a clot in a medium-sized blood vessel in the brain, and no bleeding.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, aneurysm clip, or other metal implant that could be affected by the magnetic field used in the study.
- You do not have a known allergy to iron, a liver disease like cirrhosis, or a condition called hemochromatosis (too much iron in your body).

This trial tests a specialized clot-removal treatment for people who had a mild but disabling stroke up to 24 hours ago and have a large artery blockage in the brain. The goal is to see if this precision therapy can help reduce disability and improve recovery.
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
This trial tests a new medicine called SP-8203 added to standard clot-busting treatment for people having a moderate to severe stroke. The goal is to see if it helps improve recovery and is safe.
This study tests whether a very low-frequency magnetic field can help people recover after a stroke. It is for people age 60 and older who had a recent ischemic stroke (clot-caused stroke) within the last two weeks.
This trial tests whether adding magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) after clot-removal surgery can help people recover better from a stroke. It is for people who had a moderate-to-severe stroke in the front part of the brain and had the clot removed.
This trial tests a new type of MRI with a special dye (ferumoxytol) to better find blood clots in the heart. It is for people who have a left ventricular aneurysm (a bulging area in the heart's main pumping chamber) or who had a heart procedure called percutaneous ventricular reconstruction about 6 months ago.
