Blood filtering for brain swelling after stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an extra treatment called Adacolumn for brain swelling after a severe stroke. It filters your blood to remove certain white blood cells, which may reduce swelling and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke that started within the last 24 hours.
- A blocked large artery in your brain (known as ICA or MCA) was found by imaging.
- Your stroke is severe, with a score that doctors measure (NIHSS) of 10 or more.
- Before this stroke, you were independent in everyday life, like dressing, bathing, and walking.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can have an MRI scan (your doctor will check).

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 trial tests whether filtering inflammatory substances from the blood using a special device can improve recovery in people with severe ischemic stroke. You must be within 48 hours of stroke onset and have significant disability or large areas of brain injury.
This study tests whether adding a blood-filtering treatment (plasma adsorption) right after a clot-removal procedure (EVT) can improve recovery for people with a severe ischemic stroke caused by a large blockage in the front of the brain. The plasma adsorption is given within 12 hours after the EVT.
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 if giving a protein called albumin after a large stroke can improve recovery. Albumin may help reduce brain swelling and damage. You may qualify if you had a large stroke in the front part of the brain, got a clot-removal procedure, and meet certain age and health criteria.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) can help people who have a large stroke. The procedure is done within 24 hours of symptom onset, and researchers want to see if it can reduce disability.
