Sivelestat sodium added to clot removal surgery for stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called sivelestat sodium to emergency clot removal surgery (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes in patients with a specific type of stroke caused by a large blood clot in the front part of the brain. The goal is to see if this combination treatment leads to better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had symptoms of a stroke affecting the front/side of your brain within the last 24 hours
- A large blood clot in your brain's main artery was confirmed by imaging (CT or MRI)
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You were independent (able to care for yourself) before the stroke
- You have a moderate to severe stroke score (NIHSS ≥6) and adequate brain tissue remaining (ASPECTS ≥3)
- You can return for follow-up visits for 90 days after the stroke

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
This trial tests giving a clot-dissolving medicine (rhPro-UK) through a vein before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago and are already scheduled for clot removal. The goal is to see if the medicine helps improve blood flow and outcomes.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
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 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.
