Rapid blood test for large vessel stroke in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a rapid blood test that may help doctors quickly identify a type of stroke (blocked large blood vessel in the brain) in children. If it works, it could speed up diagnosis and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- New neurological symptoms like weakness, trouble speaking, or confusion that started within the last 18 hours
- Symptoms are not caused by a head injury or trauma
- No surgery in the past month
- No history of seizures and you are not taking anti-seizure medications

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial studies a blood marker called sTREM to see if it can help predict outcomes after a mechanical clot removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for large-vessel stroke. If you have had a stroke due to a large artery blockage within the last 24 hours and plan to have this procedure, you may be able to join.
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
This trial tests whether going straight to the procedure room for clot removal can speed up treatment for people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It aims to see if this faster approach improves recovery compared to usual care.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people who had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain. The goal is to learn more about the condition by studying these samples over time.
