Steroid treatment for severe stroke with low lymphocyte count
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests if the steroid methylprednisolone helps people who have had a major stroke and also have low infection-fighting white blood cells (lymphocytes). It is for patients who are getting a procedure to remove the clot (thrombectomy) within 24 hours of the stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a large stroke on one side of the brain, confirmed by a brain scan.
- Your stroke started within the last 24 hours.
- You are scheduled to have a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy).
- A blood test shows your lymphocyte count is low (below 0.8).

This trial tests a stroke treatment plan for adults after they have a clot removed by a catheter procedure (endovascular treatment). It focuses on people with certain artery blockages and specific scan results, aiming to improve recovery after successful clot removal.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid medicine (methylprednisolone) to the standard procedure to remove a blood clot (thrombectomy) can improve recovery in people with large, severe strokes. The study aims to see if the steroid helps reduce brain swelling and improves outcomes.
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.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid (methylprednisolone) to the standard clot-removal procedure can improve recovery in people with a severe, large stroke. It aims to reduce brain swelling and improve outcomes after the procedure.
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.
This trial tests whether high-dose steroids given soon after a stroke can improve outcomes for children. It is aimed at children whose stroke is caused by a one-sided blood-vessel problem seen on brain scans.
