Plasma adsorption after clot removal for severe stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a blood-filtering treatment (plasma adsorption) right after a clot-removal procedure (EVT) can improve recovery for people with a severe ischemic stroke caused by a large blockage in the front of the brain. The plasma adsorption is given within 12 hours after the EVT.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a large-vessel blockage stroke in the front part of the brain and had a successful clot-removal procedure (EVT) within 12 hours of symptoms starting.
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to moderately severe (NIHSS score 6–25) after EVT.
- Before this stroke, you could do your daily activities with little help (mRS 0–2).
- You do not have certain health conditions (like severe brain swelling, bleeding, blood clotting problems, cancer, or severe heart/kidney/liver disease).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 giving a protein called albumin directly into the artery after a clot-removal procedure can improve recovery for people with a serious stroke caused by a large artery blockage. It is for patients who have had a successful clot removal and do not have certain other health problems.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots from large brain arteries in people who have had a severe stroke. It may help reduce disability even when the stroke is extensive and was discovered up to 24 hours after symptoms began.
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 whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery (using a catheter through the groin) can help people with mild stroke symptoms. It is for patients whose stroke started within the last 24 hours and who have a blockage in the front part of the brain's blood supply.
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.
