Could a simple blood protein boost stroke recovery?

NCT ID NCT07365475

First seen Jan 28, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving human albumin directly into the artery supplying the brain, right after a clot is removed, can improve recovery in people with severe stroke. About 306 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either standard clot removal alone or clot removal plus albumin. The goal is to see if albumin helps more patients regain independence three months later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

human albumin (a protein in blood that may protect the brain)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple add-on treatment to help more stroke survivors regain independence after clot removal.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial, so it is still early. The benefit is uncertain, and there is a small risk of bleeding or allergic reaction from the albumin infusion.
