About Our Research

The Comprehensive Cerebrovascular and Stroke Center of USC is a leader in research, attracting students, residents and fellows to participate in groundbreaking clinical trials and research projects. Our research includes prehospital stroke studies, acute stroke research, as well as stroke prevention and recovery after stroke.

Saturn

Study objective is to determine the effects of continuation vs. discontinuation of statins on the risk of ICH recurrence during 24 months of follow-up in patients presenting with a spontaneous lobar lCH while taking a statin drug. It also seeks to determine the effects of discontinuation vs. continuation of statins on the occurrence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events.

Saturn-MRI

Saturn-MRI is an ancillary study to SATURN, to evaluate the effects of continuation vs. discontinuation of statin drugs on hemorrhagic and    ischemic MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease, and whether the presence/burden of hemorrhagic markers on baseline MRI influences the risk of ICH recurrence on/off statin therapy.

PROTECT

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of an investigational stroke sensor. The study device is manufactured by StrokeDx, Inc., a medical device company based in Pasadena, CA.
