What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study compares two types of catheters used during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: a balloon guide catheter and a conventional guide catheter. Researchers want to see if one approach restores blood flow faster and leads to better outcomes. About 100 adults undergoing thrombectomy will participate, and their recovery will be checked at 90 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Balloon guide catheter and conventional guide catheter
What this could lead to
If one catheter type proves better, it could become the preferred tool for stroke thrombectomy, potentially improving recovery for many patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing two standard tools, so results may not be definitive or change practice immediately.

About 186 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Aug 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
