Stroke treatment trial for smaller vessel blockages
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your stroke symptoms started within the last 24 hours.
- Your stroke is caused by a blockage in a smaller brain artery (not a major one).
- You have at least moderate stroke symptoms (score of 5 or more on a stroke severity scale).
- You were mostly independent before the stroke (able to take care of yourself).
- Your brain scan shows only a small to moderate amount of damage.

This trial tests a new aspiration catheter (a thin tube that sucks out blood clots) used during an emergency procedure to restore blood flow in the brain after a stroke. It's designed for patients treated within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
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 type of catheter (called iNstroke) to remove blood clots from the brain in people having a stroke. If you are within 24 hours of a major stroke and meet certain health criteria, this study may be an option for you.
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
This trial studies whether a mechanical procedure to remove a blocked artery can help people with an ischemic stroke caused by a large artery blockage, even when treatment starts 24–72 hours after symptoms began. It also checks that only patients with “salvageable” brain tissue on CT scans are treated.
