Plasma filtering after stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether filtering your blood with a special device soon after a stroke clot is removed can improve recovery. It is for people who have had a large vessel stroke in the front part of the brain and have had a successful clot removal procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had an acute stroke within the last 12 hours and had a procedure to remove a blood clot from a large artery in the front of your brain.
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to moderately severe after the procedure (NIHSS score between 6 and 25).
- You were able to walk without help before this stroke (mRS score 0 to 2).
- You can start the blood filtering treatment within 12 hours after the clot removal procedure.
- You or your family can sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

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 study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether filtering inflammatory substances from the blood using a special device can improve recovery in people with severe ischemic stroke. You must be within 48 hours of stroke onset and have significant disability or large areas of brain injury.
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 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 tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
