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 whether an urgent balloon procedure (angioplasty) to open a narrowed brain artery, done right after removing a clot, helps patients recover better from a severe stroke. It is for people whose artery is still very narrow after the clot is removed.
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 study tests an experimental drug called BB-031 to see if it can safely help people who have had a recent ischemic stroke (a clot that blocks blood flow to the brain). The trial is for people who can get to the hospital within 24 hours of their first symptoms and have a moderate to severe stroke.
This trial tests if endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot) can help people who have had a stroke in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and can be treated within 72 hours, even if they are not eligible for clot-dissolving medicine. The treatment may improve recovery compared to standard care alone.
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 trial tests if a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) can help people who have a large stroke. The procedure is done within 24 hours of symptom onset, and researchers want to see if it can reduce disability.
