Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque Robert Dempsey, MD Investigator Initiated |
| A research project looking at the differences in the plaque in people with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis (narrowing of the carotid arteries). The study uses various techniques to look at the differences in people who have carotid stenosis and the causes and consequences of carotid stroke. | |
| Title: Investigator: Study Sponsor: |
Carotid Occlusion Surgery Study (COSS) Robert Dempsey, MD National Institutes of Health |
| A research project investigating whether surgery reduces the chance of stroke in someone whose neck (carotid) artery is blocked. The carotid artery supplies blood to the brain. A PET scan is done to determine if subjects qualify for the COSS trial. The PET scan is done to see if we can determine what patients are at risk of a stroke from low brain blood flow and if we can correct that problem. | |
| Title: Principal Investigator: Study Sponsor: |
Siblings with Ischemic Stroke Study (SWISS) Robert Dempsey, MD National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) |
| A multi-center study of sibling pairs with stroke. The purpose of this study is to discover the genes that increase the risk of developing an ischemic stroke. | |
| Title: Principal Investigator: Study Sponsor: |
Researching AXIUM™ Coiling Experience and Recanalization (RACER) Study David Niemann, MD ev3 Neurovascular |
| The ev3 Researching AXIUM™ Coiling Experience and Recanalization (RACER) Study is a single arm, prospective, non-randomized, US multi-center study surveying the continuing safety and effectiveness of AXIUM Coils for the treatment of intracranial saccular aneurysms that have a maximum diameter of 2mm to 20mm and are not amenable to treatment with surgical clipping. | |

Chiari Surgery Outcomes Study Bermans Iskandar, MD American Syringomyelia and Chiari Alliance Project Inc. |
| A research project collecting pilot data to evaluate surgical approaches and outcomes in surgery for patients with Chiari type I malformation and syringomyelia. The study will collect data on the characteristics of subjects who ultimately undergo surgical intervention. Dr. Iskandar and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health will be the coordinating center collecting and compiling data from 12 clinical sites across the United States. | |

| Title: Principal Investigator: Co-Investigator: Study Sponsor: |
Responsive Neurostimulator (RNS) System Pivotal-A Clinical Investigation Paul Rutecki, MD Karl Sillay, MD NeuroPace, Inc. |
| A research project testing a new treatment for seizures. The treatment is the Responsive Neurostimulator (RNS) system which involves implanting a device in the head. When the RNS detects a seizure, it sends electrical signals to your brain. | |
