This study tests a treatment approach for acute blood clots in the deep veins of the upper leg and groin. It aims to see if using a device to clear the clot after standard treatment improves recovery.
ShanghaiAges 18–85 - NCT06200753Recruiting
Late stroke treatment study for large vessel blockages
This study looks at patients who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) more than 24 hours ago and have a blockage in a large brain artery. It compares outcomes for those who get a procedure to remove the clot versus those who get only medical treatment.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07727395RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug after successful clot removal for stroke
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
An GiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06663631RecruitingPhase 1
Hibernation-like therapy for stroke recovery after clot removal
This trial tests if a hibernation-like therapy can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who are having a stroke and are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot.
Linyi, ShandongAges 18–80 - NCT06752096Recruiting
Robot-Helped Brain Blood Vessel Procedures
This trial uses a robot to assist with brain blood vessel treatments, like checking for blockages, treating tumors, or removing clots. It may help make these procedures more precise and safer.
Seoul, KoreaAges 18–80 - NCT06825897Recruiting
Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06559241RecruitingPhase 3
Arm or leg cuff treatment for large clot stroke recovery
This trial tests whether a simple, non-invasive treatment (repeated inflation of a blood pressure cuff on your arm or leg) can help people recover better after a stroke caused by a large clot. You must be having a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) within 24 hours of your stroke.
Suzhou, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06904911RecruitingPhase 2
Study of tenecteplase into the artery after clot removal for stroke
This study tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given directly into the artery after a mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal). The goal is to see if it helps improve blood flow to the small vessels in the brain after the main clot is removed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04667078RecruitingPhase 3
Cangrelor plus thrombectomy to improve blood flow imaging in stroke
This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding a clot-fighting medicine called cangrelor to a mechanical clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve outcomes in selected acute stroke patients. It targets people whose scan shows there may be salvageable brain tissue, aiming to protect more brain while the clot is treated.
BesançonAges 18–80 - NCT06370182Recruiting
