New method to find stroke cause
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging method to determine where a stroke-causing blood clot came from. If you had a stroke from a clot not related to the heart in the last 14 days, this study might help identify the source.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke caused by a blood clot that did not come from the heart.
- Your stroke happened in the last 14 days.
- You are healthy enough to have a PET-CT scan.

This study looks at how heart problems might cause strokes. If you had a stroke that doctors can't explain after many tests, this trial will do extra heart monitoring to find possible causes and help prevent another stroke.
This study looks at how blood clots form and contribute to an acute ischemic (clot-related) stroke. It uses PET-CT scanning to better understand the process and may help improve how future stroke treatments are targeted.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET) to learn more about how artery hardening (atherosclerosis) affects stroke. It is for people who have just had a stroke and may help doctors understand the disease better.
This research tests a new type of brain scan (called sigma radiopharmaceutical FBFP) to help doctors understand blood flow problems after a stroke or mini-stroke caused by a narrowed artery in the neck. The scan may help predict recovery and guide treatment.
This trial compares different scan choices to help doctors decide the best approach for removing a stroke clot. It aims to improve outcomes after emergency stroke treatment by using the right imaging information.
This Phase 1 study uses a PET scan to detect blood clots (thrombosis) in specific groups of people. It’s testing how well the scan can find clots and how it should be timed with other heart or illness tests.
