New stroke treatment study for blocked arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special technique called BASIS to treat strokes caused by a buildup of plaque in the brain's large arteries. It may help people who have had a stroke from this condition and are treated within 72 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had an ischemic stroke (stroke caused by a clot blocking blood flow to the brain)
- You can get treatment within 72 hours after symptoms start (or after you were last seen normal)
- A brain scan shows a blockage in one of the main arteries in your brain (not in multiple spots or connected to the neck)
- The blockage is likely caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in the artery walls)
- You do not have a history of atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) or heart valve surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
This trial tests a new drug called BB-031 for people who have had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel in the brain. The drug may help restore blood flow and reduce damage if given within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests whether an urgent angioplasty (a procedure to widen a narrowed artery) can help people who had a stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain. It is for those who already had a clot-removal procedure but still have a severe narrowing in the same artery.
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 study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain can help people who have had a severe stroke. It aims to improve recovery and reduce disability.
This study looks at a new way to measure stroke risk in people with a specific type of brain artery narrowing (atherosclerosis) in the front part of the brain. You might participate if you have this condition and are willing to have imaging tests and take standard medicines.
