San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05735301Recruiting
MRI blood-flow scan-guided treatment within 6–24 hours after stroke
This trial looks at whether using an MRI blood-flow (perfusion) scan to help choose treatment improves outcomes for certain large-vessel strokes. You must be treated within 6–24 hours after symptoms start, with specific scan and blood test findings.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07749170Recruiting
Stroke treatment for blockages in smaller brain arteries
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06362928Recruiting
Testing a device to remove lung blood clots
This trial tests a new device (the Akura Thrombectomy System) that removes blood clots from the lungs in people with a sudden, severe pulmonary embolism. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective at improving blood flow and heart function.
GrazAges 18–90 - NCT05878002Recruiting
Tests thinking, movement, and sleep after clot removal stroke
This study looks at thinking skills, body movement, and sleep patterns in adults after a specific type of stroke treated with a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors better understand what changes happen after treatment and how to measure them.
RomeAges 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 - NCT05525325Recruiting
Sedation method during clot removal for posterior stroke
This study compares different ways of giving sedation during a procedure to remove blood clots in strokes caused by blocked vertebral or basilar arteries. The goal is to see which sedation approach is safest and works best for patients undergoing endovascular treatment.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06370182Recruiting
New catheter for clot removal in disabling stroke
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
