Brain PET Study for Recent Stroke Patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had an acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blockage) and were admitted to the hospital within 7 days of symptoms starting.
- Your vital signs (like blood pressure and heart rate) and brain symptoms must be stable.
- Your kidney function test (eGFR) must be above 30.
- You cannot have diabetes that needs daily insulin shots to control.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have been diagnosed or treated for dementia, or have trouble giving consent.

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 tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see how blood flows in the brain after a stroke or mini-stroke. It could help guide treatment for people with severe narrowing in one of the main arteries in the neck or head.
This study looks at inflammation-related changes soon after an acute ischemic stroke (a type caused by a blocked blood vessel). It may help researchers understand what factors drive recovery and how they could be targeted in the future.
This study uses advanced PET/MRI scans to measure blood flow and sugar use in the brain. It is for people who have had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year due to a severely narrowed carotid artery.
This study uses a special brain scan (PET-CT) to help find where a stroke might have come from. It could help doctors better understand and treat strokes.
This trial tests whether florbetaben, a special dye, can show amyloid buildup in blood vessels after a recent heart attack, chest pain episode, or stroke. It aims to help doctors better understand and prevent future events.
