Adacolumn treatment for brain swelling after severe stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called Adacolumn to reduce brain swelling after a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery. The treatment is started within 24 hours of the stroke and may help improve recovery by decreasing pressure in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have had an acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) and doctors have confirmed a blockage in a large artery in your brain.
- Your stroke must be severe enough (scoring at least 10 on a standard stroke scale).
- Before your stroke, you were able to do all daily activities independently (score less than 2 on a disability scale).
- You can begin treatment within 24 hours of the stroke starting (or from the last time you were known to be normal).
- You do not have any condition that would increase your risk of bleeding, such as a bleeding disorder, recent surgery, or a brain aneurysm.

This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
This study tests whether a specific treatment (likely endovascular therapy) helps people who have a minor stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke to try to improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether giving a protein called albumin directly into the artery, along with the standard clot-removal procedure, helps people recover better from a severe stroke. It may reduce brain swelling and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving albumin, a protein naturally found in blood, can improve recovery after a large artery stroke when given along with a procedure to remove the clot. It's for people aged 18-80 who have a stroke from a blockage in the front part of the brain and can get treatment within 24 hours.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests whether cooling the brain and reopening a blocked major artery can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke and may benefit from this combination treatment.
