Endovascular therapy for late window stroke patients selected by automated CT
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You had an ischemic (clot-caused) stroke 24 to 72 hours ago
- Your stroke symptoms are at least moderately severe (NIHSS score of 8 or more)
- A CT scan shows a blockage in a large artery in the front part of your brain, and the damaged area is not too large (core volume ≤ 70 cc or ASPECTS score ≥ 6)
- You can have the artery puncture to start the procedure within 72 hours of the stroke and within 90 minutes of the initial CT scan

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 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.
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a blood clot from a brain artery (endovascular therapy) with standard medicines alone, for people who had a large-vessel stroke more than 24 hours ago (up to 30 days). It aims to see if the procedure can still help improve recovery even after this longer time window, especially if symptoms are fluctuating or worsening.
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.
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
