Skull bone injection vs. IV for large stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to give medicine for a large stroke on one side of the brain. The medicine is injected into the skull bone instead of through a vein, and researchers want to see if it works better and is safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- This is your first stroke or you could take care of yourself before it
- You can get treatment within 24 hours of your stroke starting
- Your stroke is large and affects one side of the brain (middle cerebral artery area)
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to severe (NIHSS score 16-32) and not improving after other treatments
- You do not have other serious brain conditions, bleeding problems, or severe organ disease

This trial tests a new drug (RK-4) delivered directly through the skull bone to treat patients with large strokes in the brain's main blood vessel. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help restore brain function when standard stroke treatments aren't working well enough.
This trial tests whether a clot-busting drug given directly into the brain artery can improve recovery after a major stroke caused by a blockage in the front part of the brain. The study is for people whose blood flow has already been successfully restored with standard treatments.
This trial tests an investigational drug, QHRD106, given as an injection for people who have had a moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke. It aims to see if the drug can help recovery when given within 24 hours after the stroke starts, and it is for patients who are not receiving standard clot-busting treatment.
This trial tests a new drug, RK-4, given via injection into the skull for people who have had a major stroke. It's for those who have not improved enough after standard treatment like clot removal.
This trial tests an injection given into the skull bone within 24 hours of a major stroke. It is for people who have a large stroke on one side of the brain and have not improved after standard clot-removal 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.
