Device trial for recent stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a medical device in people who recently had a serious stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if the device can improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your stroke caused moderate to severe symptoms (NIHSS score of 6 or higher).
- Before the stroke, you could live independently (mRS score of 0 or 1).
- The blockage is in a large artery in the front of the brain (proximal anterior circulation occlusion).
- Your CT or MRI scan shows a certain amount of healthy brain tissue (ASPECTS greater than 6).
- You have signed a consent form agreeing to participate.

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 a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blood clots from smaller brain arteries in people having a stroke. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for patients treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests if a special technique called 'ischemic post-conditioning' can improve recovery after a large vessel stroke. It is for people who have had a major blockage in a brain artery that was successfully opened with a clot retrieval procedure.
This trial tests a device called the CONDA Stent Retriever to remove blood clots in people having a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. It may help if you can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting and meet specific brain scan and health criteria.
This trial tests a faster way to treat strokes by using a special room that combines a CT scanner and an X-ray machine, so doctors can decide and act quickly. You may qualify if you have a recent ischemic stroke and can have the clot removed within 24 hours.
