Study of Penumbra System for acute ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is collecting information on how well the Penumbra System works and how safe it is when used to remove blood clots in people having a certain type of stroke. It is for patients who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove the clot) using this device as the first treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had little to no disability before your stroke (able to do daily activities without help).
- Your stroke is caused by a clot in a large artery in the brain.
- Your doctor plans to use the Penumbra System as the first treatment to remove the clot.
- You agree to take part in the study and sign a consent form.

This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
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 tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
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 study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
This study looks at patients having a stroke procedure to remove a clot. It aims to predict how well people recover. If you are having this treatment, the study might help doctors understand your likely outcome.
