- NCT06665386Recruiting
Cooling infusion with clot removal for severe stroke
This study tests whether cooling the brain during clot removal (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a severe stroke caused by a large blood vessel blockage. Researchers will use blood tests to find markers that may predict who benefits most.
Dalian, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT07555977Recruiting

Greater Sudbury, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07350564Recruiting
Comparing tight vs. usual blood pressure control after stroke clot removal
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure very tightly controlled after a stroke clot removal (thrombectomy) is better than standard care. It may help people who have had an acute stroke from a large brain artery blockage and still have high blood pressure after the procedure.
Suzhou, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07257146Enrolling by invitation
Studying barriers to stroke care in the Middle East and North Africa
This trial looks at what makes it hard for people to get stroke treatment quickly. It uses a phone app to track where you live and what obstacles you face, to help improve care for others in the future.
AlexandriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07235514Recruiting
Anesthesia management during clot removal for stroke
This trial compares different types of anesthesia given during mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) for people who have a severe ischemic stroke from a large artery blockage. Researchers want to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07174505Recruiting
Study of the CONDA Stent Retriever for stroke patients
This trial tests a device called the CONDA Stent Retriever to remove blood clots in people having a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. It may help if you can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting and meet specific brain scan and health criteria.
BudapestAges 18–85 - NCT06941961Recruiting
Brain stimulation therapy after stroke clot removal
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS can help people recover motor function after a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for patients who had the clot removed successfully with a procedure within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–85 - NCT07135895Recruiting
Artix device for recent leg artery blockages
This study tests a device called Artix to remove blood clots from arteries in the leg that occurred within the last two weeks. It may help restore blood flow and avoid amputation.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07141303RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid after stroke clot removal for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion
This trial tests if giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into the brain artery after successful clot removal improves recovery. It is for people who had a large stroke in the front part of the brain and got the clot out within 24 hours.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT07095660Recruiting
Catheter device for leg vein blockages
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blockages in the large veins of your legs. It may help if you have chronic leg swelling or pain from vein problems.
GalwayAges 18 years+ - NCT07102160Recruiting
Long-term safety and effectiveness of the Cleaner Vac system for blood clots
This study tracks how well the Cleaner Vac® system works to remove blood clots from leg veins over time. It may be an option for people with new or recent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) who are getting their first treatment.
Fort Lauderdale, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085390Recruiting
Comparing two catheters for stroke clot removal
This study compares two types of catheters (thin tubes) used during a stroke procedure to remove a blood clot. The goal is to see which one works better for clearing blockages in large blood vessels in the brain.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07069452Recruiting
Predicting recovery after stroke with brain scan scores
This study looks at how well different scores from brain scans can predict recovery after a stroke. It is for people who had an ischemic stroke and were treated with both clot-dissolving medicine and a clot removal procedure.
GonesseAges 18 years+ - NCT07049692Recruiting
Hyperbaric oxygen after stroke clot removal study
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 35–75 - NCT07045987Enrolling by invitation
Early warning for futile clot removal in stroke
This study looks at how to predict when a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) might not work well for acute ischemic stroke. The goal is to build an early warning system so doctors can better decide on treatment.
Xi’an, ShanxiAges 18 years+ - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT07001852Recruiting
Endovascular therapy for late window stroke patients selected by automated CT
This trial tests whether removing a clot from a large brain artery up to 72 hours after a stroke helps people recover better than standard care. It uses a special computer program on a regular CT scan to decide who might benefit.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–80 - NCT06956521RecruitingPhase 1
Magnesium during clot removal for severe stroke
This trial tests whether giving magnesium directly into the artery during mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain) improves recovery after a severe ischemic stroke. Magnesium may help protect brain cells from further damage after the clot is removed.
Houston, TexasAges 21–95 - NCT06949228RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase directly into the brain artery after a successful mechanical clot removal can improve recovery for people with a certain type of stroke. The goal is to see if it safely helps clear any remaining tiny clots and reduces disability.

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.
