Can a blood test predict brain recovery after stroke?
NCT ID NCT04971564
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at blood markers related to inflammation and clotting in people with brain oxygen deprivation from stroke or bleeding. Researchers will compare these markers between patients with brain hypoxia and those without. The goal is to see if these markers are linked to how well patients recover over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict outcomes after stroke or brain bleeding using simple blood tests.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear links between the biomarkers and patient recovery.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: \- For cases, admitted within the first 36 hours of an acute neurological symptom related to : * An ischaemic cerebrovascular accident (iCVA) eligible for a mechanical thrombectomy procedure, * A subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH, all aetiologies) : patient presenting with at least a modified Fisher scale 3 or 4, * An intra-parenchymal haematoma (IPH) with greatest axis ≥ 20mm or with NIHSS on admission \>4. OR * For control patients, admitted within 7 days of the onset of acute neurological symptomatology related to a clinical diagnosis of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) - based on thorough questioning of the patient on admission - and prior to imaging, with an ABCD2≥ 2 score. * Express consent to participate in the study. * Member or beneficiary of a social security. Exclusion Criteria: * Pre-existing functional and/or cognitive disability * Patient under legal protection. * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman. * Patient with secondary haemorrhagic transformation. Secondary exclusion criteria : * Patients with an ischaemic lesion visible on imaging, unrelated to large vessel occlusion and therefore ineligible for mechanical thrombectomy. * Patients diagnosed with an acute non-vascular neurological pathology (migraine, epilepsy, etc.). * TIA patients presenting an abnormality on follow-up imaging 24-48 hours after the initial imaging. Excluded patients will be replaced.
