Cooling infusion with clot removal for severe stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether cooling the brain during clot removal (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a severe stroke caused by a large blood vessel blockage. Researchers will use blood tests to find markers that may predict who benefits most.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- A large blood vessel in the front part of your brain is blocked by a clot.
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to severe (stroke severity score 6 to 25).
- You had little or no disability before this stroke.
- Treatment can start within 24 hours of the first symptoms or when you were last seen healthy.
- You (or your legal representative) agree to join and sign a consent form.

This trial tests whether cooling the head during a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve recovery after a stroke. It might help reduce brain damage and improve long-term outcomes.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain and reopening a blocked major artery can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke and may benefit from this combination treatment.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting medication (tenecteplase) before the standard clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) helps patients with a large stroke more than just the procedure alone. If the treatment works, it could improve recovery and reduce disability after a severe stroke.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain during the procedure to remove a blood clot improves recovery after a severe stroke. It may help reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether cooling the body down (hypothermia) combined with a clot removal procedure (thrombectomy) helps people recover better from a large-artery stroke. You may be eligible if you have a moderate-to-severe stroke and can be treated within 24 hours of when you were last seen well.
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.
