Alliance study for acute stroke after clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a stroke treatment plan for adults after they have a clot removed by a catheter procedure (endovascular treatment). It focuses on people with certain artery blockages and specific scan results, aiming to improve recovery after successful clot removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (age 18 to 95)
- Your stroke was caused by a blocked internal carotid artery or middle brain artery (M1 or M2)
- At the hospital, your stroke severity was moderately severe (NIHSS at least 6), and you were mostly independent before the stroke (modified Rankin 0–1)
- Your brain CT scan scores meet thresholds (NIHSS/ASPECTS requirements) and you had special scans (NCCT, CTA, and CTP) at the trial site hospital
- After the last clot-removal attempt, the artery reopening was successful (mTICI 2b to 3)

This trial tests a method called direct ischemic conditioning, which is a gentle way to prepare your brain to better handle the return of blood flow after a stroke. It is for people who have had a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain and have already had a successful procedure to reopen the artery.
This study tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
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.
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
This trial tests whether a special balloon treatment started after successful clot removal can improve recovery after an acute stroke. It may help some people by protecting the brain during the procedure and early aftermath.
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.
