One-stop emergency care for fast stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a streamlined approach to quickly start endovascular therapy for people having a severe ischemic stroke caused by a blocked large or medium brain artery. It aims to reduce delays and improve recovery by coordinating the care team as soon as you arrive at the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having stroke symptoms like weakness, trouble speaking, or vision loss, and your stroke severity score (NIHSS) is 10 or higher.
- You arrive at the treating hospital within 4.5 hours of when you were last seen well.
- You are 18 years or older.
- Before the stroke, you were independent in daily activities (able to walk, dress, bathe, etc. without help).
- You are not currently on life support or very unstable, and you do not have other major illnesses that would prevent recovery.

This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
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 study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
This trial tests a dedicated emergency stroke unit that provides fast, coordinated care for people with acute ischemic stroke. If you qualify, you may receive clot-busting medication or clot-removal treatment quickly to help reduce brain damage and improve recovery.
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 going straight to the procedure room for clot removal can speed up treatment for people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It aims to see if this faster approach improves recovery compared to usual care.
