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 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 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 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 trial studies people who had a heart attack more than 90 days ago using an FDG PET/CT scan of the heart. It may help doctors learn more about what the scan shows and how it could be useful after heart attacks.
This study looks at how well a specific PET scan (using a tracer called [18F]FET) can help doctors diagnose brain tumors, check how well treatment is working, or spot tumors that come back. Researchers will analyze images you may have already had or will have as part of your regular care.
