Basilar artery occlusion

This trial tests whether adding endovascular treatment, a procedure to remove blood clots, to standard medical care improves recovery in people with a mild stroke caused by a blockage in the basilar artery. Participants receive either standard care alone or standard care plus the…

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding tocilizumab, an anti-inflammatory drug, to standard emergency stroke treatment improves outcomes for people with a severe stroke in the back of the brain. About 348 adults will receive either tocilizumab or a placebo by IV right before a pr…

This trial is investigating whether adding a clot-removal procedure, called endovascular treatment, to standard medical care can improve outcomes for people who have had a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the basilar artery, a major vessel at the back of the brain. The study…

This study looks at 518 adults with a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the main artery at the back of the brain. It compares two standard treatments: a procedure to remove the clot (endovascular therapy) versus medication alone. The goal is to see which approach leads to bet…

This trial is testing a drug called tenecteplase for people with a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the basilar artery at the back of the brain. About 688 participants will receive either tenecteplase or standard care within 24 hours of symptoms starting, followed by a clot-…

This study compares two ways to reach a blood clot in the basilar artery, a key vessel at the back of the brain, during a stroke. One method uses the femoral artery in the groin, the other uses the radial artery in the wrist. Researchers want to see which approach leads to better…

This study tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) before transferring patients with a severe stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) to a specialized hospital can improve recovery. About 316 adults who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours earlier will …

This study is looking for markers in blood and saliva that can quickly tell if a person is having a stroke, and what kind. Researchers will collect samples from 650 adults with suspected stroke within 24 hours of symptoms. The goal is to develop a fast, accurate test to help emer…
