Clot-removal treatment for stroke patients with existing disability
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- Have moderate to severe disability before this stroke (mRS 3–4) for at least 3 months
- Arrive at the study hospital within 24 hours of the time you were last known well
- Have an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel)
- Your scan (CT or MR angiogram) shows a blockage in specific large brain arteries (internal carotid or M1 or dominant M2)
- Your stroke severity and brain-scan scores are above the study thresholds (ASPECT and NIH Stroke Scale)
- A consent form is signed by you (if able) or your legal representative

This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) can help people whose mild stroke gets worse within a week. It's for those who have a blockage in a large brain artery and enough healthy brain tissue to save.
This trial tests whether placing a stent (a tiny tube) in the blocked artery in the brain can improve blood flow and help people recover from a severe stroke, especially when standard clot removal has not worked.
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 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.
