What this research studies

This center organizes and supports clinical research across hospitals so patients can access new treatments and advanced brain imaging protocols. It helps identify eligible patients quickly, coordinates enrollment, data collection, and safety monitoring, and trains hospital teams to follow study procedures. The center led efforts like DEFUSE 3 that changed care for imaging-selected stroke patients. By keeping hospitals and specialists working together, it helps bring successful research findings into everyday stroke care faster.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: People with an acute ischemic stroke or other stroke-related conditions who present to and meet eligibility at participating hospitals are the most likely candidates.

Not a fit: People without stroke, those with chronic stable conditions far outside acute treatment windows, or those not seen at participating sites may not directly benefit from this center's activities.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Could speed delivery of proven imaging-guided therapies and other improved treatments, potentially improving survival and recovery after stroke.

How similar studies have performed: Yes — coordinated StrokeNet efforts such as DEFUSE 3 have already produced major, practice-changing successes for imaging-selected stroke patients.
