Blood clot markers may forecast stroke outcomes
NCT ID NCT05974111
First seen Sep 03, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are studying blood samples from people who have had a stroke to understand how blood clotting and inflammation affect recovery. They will take samples at several time points during the first week and measure markers of coagulation and inflammation. The goal is to see if these markers can predict who will have a good or poor outcome three months later. This study does not test a new treatment, but it may reveal clues for future therapies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood sampling for coagulation and inflammation profiling
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify blood markers that help predict recovery after stroke and guide future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. The markers may not reliably predict outcomes in all patients.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of patients presenting at the hospital with ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke or aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. As our hospital is a referral centre, both referred patients and patients presenting at our emergency department will be screened for eligibility.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Presenting at the hospital with ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage or any other type of non-traumatic, intracranial bleeding In patients with minor ischemic stroke (NIHSS \<= 4) only baseline lab sampling will be performed (T0 and T0B). Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal of participation by patient or legal representative * Traumatic intracranial (subdural, subarachnoid, epidural haematoma) bleeding * Patients receiving treatment with interference on coagulation (pro / anti) before first sampling: in this group of patients the coagulation assessment at presentation will be excluded, further lab sampling is performed according to protocol. * Patients categorized as having stroke mimic will be excluded from analysis afterwards
