Stroke clot removal trial: glycocalyx and inflammation study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at how the lining of blood vessels (glycocalyx) and inflammation change in people having a stroke. It tests what happens during a procedure to remove a clot from the brain (mechanical thrombectomy), which may help doctors understand and treat strokes better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are older than 18
- You have been diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain)

- You have not had a hemorrhagic stroke (a stroke caused by bleeding)
- You do not have an active infection, autoimmune disease, cancer, or a recent injury

This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery is better than standard medical care for people who have a mild stroke (NIHSS score 2-5) but still have symptoms like trouble speaking, weakness, or confusion. It is for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of their last known well time.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
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 trial compares two methods of removing blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke: suction alone versus a combination of suction and a stent-like device. It aims to see which technique works better to restore blood flow and improve outcomes for people with severe acute strokes.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
