NCT ID NCT06672510
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a device called the Akura Thrombectomy System, which is threaded through a blood vessel to mechanically remove clots from the lung arteries. It involves 118 adults with acute pulmonary embolism (symptoms for 14 days or less) who have a clot in a main or lobar artery and signs of heart strain. The goal is to see if the device safely restores blood flow and reduces strain on the heart.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Akura Thrombectomy System (a catheter-based device to mechanically remove blood clots)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new, less invasive option to quickly remove dangerous clots from the lungs, potentially reducing heart strain and improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, single-arm study with only 118 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include bleeding, vessel injury, or the device not working as expected.
