Inflammatory cells in blood and brain clots during stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at inflammatory cells in the blood and the blood clot removed from the brain during a stroke emergency. The goal is to better understand the role of inflammation in stroke, which could lead to improved treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are coming to the emergency room with symptoms of a stroke or a stroke-like event.

- You or a legal representative can agree to join the study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an autoimmune disease that could affect the study results.

This study looks at the composition of a stroke blood clot and compares it with blood test results to understand treatment response, stroke cause, and prognosis. It may help doctors better predict outcomes and improve care after ischemic stroke.
This study includes people who have had certain kinds of sudden brain blood-flow problems (like an ischemic stroke, bleeding in the brain, or a brief warning episode) or conditions that look similar. It looks at how treatment such as clot-busting medicine (thrombolysis) fits for these situations.
This trial looks at blood “inflammation-related” biomarkers to understand what happens early after certain sudden brain events. It may help doctors predict outcomes and tailor treatment for people like those with stroke types that sometimes need a clot-removal procedure.
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 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 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.
