MRI blood-flow scan-guided treatment within 6–24 hours after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and had an ischemic stroke in the front part of the brain (carotid or MCA area).
- A scan (CTA or MRA) confirms a large blood-vessel blockage (LVO).
- Your stroke is moderate to severe (NIHSS score 6 or higher) and your CT brain scan shows enough preserved tissue (ASPECTS 6 or higher).
- Your treatment decision/randomization happens between 6 and 24 hours after stroke symptoms began.
- You were functioning independently before the stroke (pre-stroke mRS 0–2) and can complete MRI (including perfusion imaging).
- You can sign consent and commit to a 90-day follow-up visit or assessment.

This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots from smaller arteries deep inside the brain. It may help people with moderate to severe stroke symptoms who can be treated within 24 hours of symptom onset.
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests a new way to treat strokes caused by blockages in medium-sized brain arteries within 24 hours of symptom onset. It uses brain imaging to select patients who might benefit from a procedure to remove the clot.
This trial tests a new way to treat ischemic stroke patients who arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start. It focuses on people eligible for a clot removal procedure, using advanced imaging to see if this approach helps them recover better.
This trial tests a special stroke unit for people having a severe ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain). It aims to see if treatment within 4.5 to 6 hours after symptoms start can improve recovery. You may join if you need a procedure to remove the clot.
