Active clinical trials for "Embolic Stroke"

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Cardea SOLO Compared to 12 lead EKG for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Diagnosis in ESUS patients with Left Atrial Enlargement.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the 14-day continuous ECG patch monitor (EZYPRO®) compared with a 24-hour Holter monitor in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) among ESUS patients.

Demonstrating the pathophysiological link between Left Atrial (LA) and Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) pathology and embolic strokes in non-Atrial Fibrillation (AF) individuals represents a major advance in stroke prevention strategies. Instead of relying on non-specific criteria for stroke risk assessment, the investigators propose to identify individuals with high-risk of embolic stroke using imaging criteria that reflect the underlying pathophysiology of embolic stroke of cardiac origin. the investigators can therefore lay the groundwork for future anticoagulation strategies for stroke prevention beyond AF.

In adult patients presenting to emergency departments within 24 hours of symptom onset with suspected acute stroke, we aim: to identify early brain- and pathology-specific circulating, whole blood, plasma and serum panorOmic biomarkers that enable early acute stroke detection, diagnosis, dynamics, differentiation, monitoring, prediction and prognosis. to identify early brain- and pathology-specific, panorOmic biomarkers in saliva that enable early acute stroke detection, diagnosis, dynamics, differentiation, monitoring, prediction and prognosis. to derive biomarker platforms of models for early acute stroke detection, diagnosis, dynamics, differentiation, monitoring, prediction and prognosis to validate these models in independent and external datasets

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is associated with an increased risk of stroke. PFO-closure was effective in preventing stroke in young stroke patients less than age 60 presented as an embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). However, the benefit of PFO-closure in elderly ESUS patients is not clear. The investigators designed this prospective register-based observational study to verify the efficacy of PFO-closure in elderly ESUS patients with high-risk PFO, older than 60 years

This clinical study is a prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous LAA appendage closure by using LAmbre™ Left Atrial Appendage Occluder System. 579 patients with valvular AF complicated with previous AF-related embolic events (including ischemic stroke, TIA and systemic embolism) were enrolled at about 20 study sites nationwide. The baseline data, operation process and relevant follow-up information of subjects were recorded at 7 months after operation or before discharge and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-response study of MLC1501 in patients with stroke. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to orally receive MLC1501 low-dose twice a day, MLC1501 high-dose twice a day, or matching placebo for 24 weeks.

The proposed study will investigate the clinical use of the ISCDX test that may differentiate between diverse stroke etiologies as listed below: Aim 1: Differentiate between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic ischemic strokes, when hemorrhagic stroke is ruled out, as defined by TOAST classification of subtypes of acute ischemic stroke. Aim 2: In cases of ischemic strokes of unknown or "cryptogenic" etiology, determine the ability of biomarker blood tests to predict etiology between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare acquired clonal hematological disorder, which can cause arterial or venous thrombosis. The frequency of PNH in young patients (< 50 years old) with embolic stroke (ESUS), transient ischemic attack (ETUS) or superior sagittal sinus cerebral venous thrombosis (SSS-CVTUS) of undetermined source, is currently unknown. This study proposes to recruit ESUS, ETUS, SSS-CVTUS patients to determine the frequency of PNH diagnosis confirmed by flow cytometry in these patient populations.
