Study of RK-4 injection for severe stroke caused by large blockage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new drug, RK-4, given via injection into the skull for people who have had a major stroke. It's for those who have not improved enough after standard treatment like clot removal.
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 stroke on one side of the brain in the middle cerebral artery area
- The stroke is moderate to severe (scoring 16 to 32 on a stroke severity scale)
- You can receive the study drug within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting
- You had little to no disability before the stroke
- You either didn't get clot removal or it didn't fully work
- You do not have bleeding in the brain or other serious health issues like kidney failure

This trial tests a new drug (RK-4) delivered directly through the skull bone to treat patients with large strokes in the brain's main blood vessel. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and can help restore brain function when standard stroke treatments aren't working well enough.
This trial tests an injection given into the skull bone within 24 hours of a major stroke. It is for people who have a large stroke on one side of the brain and have not improved after standard clot-removal treatment.
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It uses a special CT scan to see if the treatment can still help them.
This trial tests an investigational drug, QHRD106, given as an injection for people who have had a moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke. It aims to see if the drug can help recovery when given within 24 hours after the stroke starts, and it is for patients who are not receiving standard clot-busting treatment.
This trial tests whether a simple remote “arm conditioning” treatment started soon after an acute ischemic stroke can improve outcomes and safety. It may help some patients recover better by supporting the body’s protective response to stroke.
This trial tests a medicine given through a vein to break up blood clots in medium-sized brain arteries. It may help people who had a stroke between 4.5 and 24 hours ago and cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure.
