Testing a new clot-removal catheter for stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You had a stroke caused by a clot in a major blood vessel in the front part of your brain.
- You can start the clot-removal procedure (groin puncture) within 24 hours after you were last seen healthy.
- Your stroke symptoms are at least moderately severe (NIHSS score of 6 or higher).
- Brain imaging (CT or MRI) shows no sign of a major bleed, old clot, or mass effect that would complicate treatment.

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 if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
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 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 (Toro 88 Super Bore) for removing blood clots in people having a severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It may help if you need a mechanical thrombectomy.
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.
