Steroid after stroke clot removal for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into the brain artery after successful clot removal improves recovery. It is for people who had a large stroke in the front part of the brain and got the clot out within 24 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your stroke treatment (clot removal) started within 24 hours of symptom onset.
- The clot was in a major artery in the front part of your brain (internal carotid, M1, or M2 segment).
- Your stroke was severe enough (NIHSS score 6 or higher).
- A CT scan before treatment showed at least some brain tissue was still healthy (ASPECTS score 3 or more).
- The clot removal procedure was successful (blood flow restored to at least a certain level).

This study tests if adding the steroid methylprednisolone to the standard clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve recovery for people with a large ischemic stroke, compared to thrombectomy alone.
This trial tests whether giving a medicine called Cerebrolysin after a delayed procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain can help people recover from a severe stroke. It looks at people who have their clot removed more than 6 hours after symptoms start.
This trial tests whether giving albumin, a protein naturally found in blood, can improve recovery after a large artery stroke when given along with a procedure to remove the clot. It's for people aged 18-80 who have a stroke from a blockage in the front part of the brain and can get treatment within 24 hours.
This study tests whether adding a drug called human urinary kallidinogenase to standard clot-removal therapy helps people recover better after a large-vessel stroke. If you qualify, you would receive the drug or a placebo by IV along with the procedure, and doctors will monitor your recovery.
This trial tests if a hibernation-like therapy can improve recovery after a stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who are having a stroke and are scheduled for a procedure to remove the clot.
This trial tests whether injecting a steroid (methylprednisolone) directly into brain blood vessels after removing a stroke clot helps reduce brain swelling and improve recovery. You would be eligible if you had a large clot stroke in the front part of your brain that was successfully removed within the past 24 hours.
