Tirofiban for late window stroke due to artery plaque
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a drug called tirofiban can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago but within 7 days. It is for strokes caused by a buildup of plaque in a large brain artery, and uses a special MRI to confirm the cause.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your stroke happened more than 24 hours ago but within the last 7 days
- A special MRI shows your stroke is from plaque buildup in a large artery in the front of your brain
- You have not had any bleeding in the brain
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate (score 4-20 on a stroke severity test)
- You do not have atrial fibrillation or a heart valve that needs blood thinners

This study tests whether a medication called tirofiban can help prevent stroke symptoms from getting worse after receiving a clot-busting drug. It is for patients with a narrowed brain artery and ongoing moderate to severe symptoms.
This trial tests whether adding a clot-preventing medication called tirofiban before a mechanical clot removal procedure can improve recovery in people with a certain type of stroke. It's for those with a large artery blockage in the front part of the brain who are able to start the procedure within 12 hours.
This trial tests whether giving an antiplatelet medicine (like aspirin) early—within 3 hours of a clot-busting drug—can help prevent another stroke without causing bleeding. It is for people who still have moderate to severe stroke symptoms after the clot-buster and do not have a large artery blockage.
This trial tests whether injecting a blood thinner called tirofiban directly into brain blood vessels during a stroke procedure helps prevent clots from forming again. If you've had a stroke caused by a large clot in your brain that was successfully removed, this study may help protect your recovery.
This trial tests if adding a blood thinner called tirofiban after successful clot removal can improve recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who had a large blockage and are treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests if a medication called tirofiban can help people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago and received clot-dissolving treatment (IVT). If you have had a stroke and your symptoms did not improve or got worse after IVT, this study might offer a way to prevent further disability.
