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 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 study compares two ways of treating an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in a small to medium-sized blood vessel in the brain. One treatment is a minimally invasive procedure to open the blocked vessel (endovascular treatment), and the other is using medications alone (best medical therapy). If you qualify, this study may help determine which approach works better for your situation.
This trial tests a procedure to remove large blood clots from the brain in people who have had a severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It may help reduce disability and improve recovery.
This study tests whether removing a clot from a medium-sized brain artery using a minimally invasive procedure (catheter) can improve recovery after a stroke. It's for people who cannot get standard clot-busting medicine and whose stroke started within the last day.
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.
