Stroke treatment study for medium-sized vessel blockages
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from medium-sized brain arteries works for people who have had a severe stroke. It may help improve recovery by treating blockages that are not in the largest arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You had a stroke within the last 24 hours that causes disability, like weakness or trouble speaking.
- A brain scan shows a blockage in a medium-sized artery in your brain.
- You were able to do daily activities on your own before the stroke.
- You can provide consent to join within 72 hours after the stroke.
- You do not have bleeding in the brain or other conditions that make the procedure unsafe.

This trial tests a clot-busting drug given directly into the arteries of the brain for people who have had a stroke due to a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve recovery when started up to 72 hours after symptoms begin.
This trial tests whether a procedure to remove a blood clot from a medium-sized brain artery can improve outcomes for people having a stroke. It is for patients who have not received clot-busting medicine and are not suitable for it.
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery (using a catheter through the groin) can help people with mild stroke symptoms. It is for patients whose stroke started within the last 24 hours and who have a blockage in the front part of the brain's blood supply.
This trial tests a new way to treat strokes caused by blockages in medium-sized brain arteries within 24 hours of symptom onset. It uses brain imaging to select patients who might benefit from a procedure to remove the clot.
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blood clots from smaller brain arteries in people having a stroke. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for patients treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
