Blood RNA clues may unlock stroke detection secrets
NCT ID NCT04175691
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is analyzing blood samples from 500 people who recently had a stroke and comparing them to healthy volunteers. Researchers are looking for specific RNA molecules that could serve as biomarkers to detect stroke and predict how well patients will recover. The goal is to improve diagnosis and prognosis, not to test a new treatment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
There will be 5 AIS patients and 5 HCs, whose data will be applied for construction of diagnostic and predictive models of circRNA/miRNA/lncRNA from the circulating blood. There will be 100 patients suspected of AIS (such as transient ischemic attack) 300 AIS patients, whose data will be applied for validation of such diagnosis and predictive models, respectively.
