Tirofiban before clot removal for large artery stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-preventing medication called tirofiban before a mechanical clot removal procedure can improve recovery in people with a certain type of stroke. It's for those with a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain who are able to start the procedure within 12 hours.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06124768Recruiting
Comparing two blood clot removal methods for leg clots
This trial compares two ways of doing a mechanical blood clot removal procedure for people with a new deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in a deep vein, often in the leg). The goal is to see which method works better.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05281055Recruiting
Registry of clot-removal treatment for sudden large-vessel strokes
This study keeps a record of people treated with a clot-removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) for a sudden stroke caused by a blocked large blood vessel in the brain. It focuses on outcomes for patients who can be treated within 24 hours and were independent before the stroke.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - 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+ - NCT05561088Recruiting
Head acupuncture after stroke clot removal
This trial studies whether doing head acupuncture after a procedure to remove a stroke-causing blood clot can improve recovery and safety. You may be considered if you had endovascular clot removal within 24 hours and meet specific brain-scan and stroke-severity measures.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thrombectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 125 recruiting thrombectomy 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 thrombectomy 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 thrombectomy 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.
