Study to protect the brain during clot-removal stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain-protective approach given through an artery during treatment for an acute ischemic stroke when clot removal (endovascular therapy) is planned. It may help reduce brain injury related to the stroke and procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have an acute ischemic stroke and your doctors think you’re eligible for clot removal
- You (or your legal representative) can sign informed consent
- Your previous stroke history does not leave you with lasting disability (modified Rankin score is 2 or less)
- You do not have bleeding problems, very low platelets, or a high tendency to bleed
- Your liver and kidney function are not severely affected, and you’re not on dialysis

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an “intra-arterial” approach (a treatment delivered through an artery to the brain) for people with ischemic stroke who were not given clot-busting therapy or a clot-removal procedure. It aims to improve neurological recovery when there wasn’t reperfusion therapy, including in cases where symptoms worsen soon after stroke.
This study looks at how certain proteins in the blood change after a procedure to remove a large blockage in a brain artery. The goal is to better understand recovery after stroke treatment.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
