Stroke treatment after 24 hours for vertebrobasilar blockage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a method to triage people who had a stroke in the back part of the brain (vertebrobasilar artery) more than 24 hours ago. The goal is to find the best way to decide which patients may still benefit from treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have a blockage in the vertebrobasilar artery (a blood vessel at the back of your neck and brain), confirmed by scans like CT or MRI.
- Your stroke symptoms started more than 24 hours ago.
- Before this stroke, you had little or no disability (able to walk and look after yourself).
- Your brain scan does not show any bleeding.
- You do not have a serious, advanced, or terminal illness.

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 is for people who had a mild stroke and then got worse within 1 to 14 days, due to a blocked artery in the back of the brain. It tests whether a procedure to open the blocked artery can improve outcomes compared to standard care alone.
This trial tests whether using a catheter-based procedure (endovascular treatment) to open the blocked basilar artery can improve recovery in people with a mild to moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and helps patients recover better than standard care.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This study uses MRI scans to find strokes caused by blockages in the arteries at the back of the brain. It may help doctors learn more about these strokes and how to better care for people who have them.
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
