Below are recruiting basilar artery occlusion clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 13 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT05320263Recruiting
Thrombectomy timing: aspiration tube vs stent for basilar stroke
This trial compares two ways to remove a blockage in the brain’s basilar artery: suction (aspiration) versus a retriever stent. It may help doctors learn which approach works better for restoring blood flow in acute stroke patients.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07672795Recruiting
Clot removal treatment for severe stroke in the back of the brain
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain can help people who have had a severe stroke. It aims to improve recovery and reduce disability.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–85 - NCT07345702Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for large core posterior stroke
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07203625RecruitingPhase 4
Tenecteplase before transfer for basilar artery stroke
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called Tenecteplase helps people with a severe type of stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) when given 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. Patients will then be moved to a hospital that can remove the clot. The goal is to see if the drug improves recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07090941Recruiting
Clot removal for severe basilar artery stroke
This trial tests a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain (basilar artery) in people who have a large stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve recovery even when the stroke damage is bigger than usual.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06843356Recruiting
Rescue artery-opening procedure for delayed stroke worsening
This study tests whether an emergency procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain can help people whose stroke starts mild but then suddenly gets worse days later. The goal is to see if this treatment can limit further brain damage and improve recovery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT05105633RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Tenecteplase for basilar stroke within an extended time window
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase) can help people with a specific type of stroke caused by a basilar artery blockage, even if treatment starts later than usual. It aims to improve brain recovery and function by reopening the blocked artery.
Bankstown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06924996Enrolling by invitation
Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05903560Recruiting
Arm versus leg access for clot removal in basilar stroke
This trial compares doing a clot-removal procedure through the arm artery versus the leg artery for an emergency stroke caused by a blocked basilar artery. It aims to see which access route is safer and more effective for restoring blood flow when time is critical.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07594301RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline after successful stroke clot removal in the back brain
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline can reduce brain damage after doctors successfully remove a blood clot from the back of the brain (posterior circulation stroke) using a catheter procedure. The drug may help protect brain tissue and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT05930145Recruiting
Two clot-retrievers versus one for acute stroke treatment
This trial compares using two clot-retrievers at the same time versus using just one to remove the clot in an acute ischemic stroke. It may help find a more effective approach to restore blood flow and improve recovery.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06510634Enrolling by invitation
Stroke treatment after 24 hours for vertebrobasilar blockage
This trial tests a method to triage people who had a stroke in the back part of the brain (vertebrobasilar artery) more than 24 hours ago. The goal is to find the best way to decide which patients may still benefit from treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07668323RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-dissolving medication for stroke caused by medium vessel blockage
This study tests whether giving clot-dissolving medication directly into the blocked brain artery (intra-arterial thrombolysis) improves recovery from acute stroke caused by a medium-sized vessel blockage. It aims to see if this treatment helps patients regain function better than standard care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for basilar artery occlusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting basilar artery occlusion studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a basilar artery occlusion trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a basilar artery occlusion trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
