Stroke treatment trial for large area brain damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had a stroke affecting the front part of your brain that shows up on a scan.
- Your stroke symptoms must be severe (NIH Stroke Scale score of 10 or higher) both before and right when you start the study.
- You must be able to start treatment within 24 hours of the stroke beginning or when you were last seen well, and within 120 minutes of your last brain scan.
- You must have been able to take care of yourself before the stroke (with little or no help from others).
- You or someone who can speak for you must agree to the study by signing a consent form.

This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
This trial tests whether removing a clot from a large brain artery up to 72 hours after a stroke helps people recover better than standard care. It uses a special computer program on a regular CT scan to decide who might benefit.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
This trial tests a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain (mechanical thrombectomy) for people who have a very large stroke. It aims to see if removing the clot can improve recovery, even for those with severe strokes.
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 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.
