NCT ID NCT04973332

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed trial tested a new stent (SINOMED SR) for removing blood clots in 218 people with acute ischemic stroke. The stent was used within 24 hours of symptom onset. The main goal was to see if the stent could successfully reopen blocked brain arteries. Researchers also tracked how well patients recovered 90 days later.

Active substance

Intracranial thrombectomy stent (SINOMED SR)

What this could lead to

If successful, this stent could provide a safe and effective option for removing blood clots in stroke patients within 24 hours of symptoms, potentially improving recovery.

What could go wrong

This is a non-inferiority study, meaning it aims to show the new stent is as good as existing ones, not necessarily better. The trial is completed but results may not apply to all stroke types or patients.
