What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new, simple procedure done right after doctors remove a blood clot from the brain in severe stroke patients. The procedure involves briefly inflating and deflating a tiny balloon to gently restore blood flow, which may prevent extra brain damage. About 288 to 448 adults who had a large-vessel stroke will take part. The goal is to see if this technique helps people recover better and live more independently three months later.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 448 people

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

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

May 2029

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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18-85 years 2. Diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke 3. Pre-stroke mRS 0-1 4. Baseline NIHSS score ≥ 6 5. Time from symptom onset to start of endovascular procedure (puncture) \< 24 hours; onset time defined as "last known well" time 6. Imaging criteria: ASPECTS 3-5 on CT, or ASPECTS \> 5 with acute ischemic core volume (defined as rCBF \< 30% or ADC \< 620) ≥ 50 mL 7. Occlusion of the intracranial segment of the internal carotid artery or the middle cerebral artery (M1/M2), confirmed as the symptomatic culprit vessel 8. After thrombectomy, the culprit vessel is considered to be occluded by an embolus, and successful recanalization (mTICI 2b/3, i.e., ≥ 50% perfusion) is achieved 9. Written informed consent signed by the patient or a legal representative Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of stenosis (≥ 50%) in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery, internal carotid artery, or common carotid artery proximal to the occlusion site 2. Multiple emboli across different circulations (simultaneous anterior and posterior circulation emboli, or simultaneous left and right anterior circulation emboli) 3. Evidence on CT of extensive cerebral edema, midline shift, significant mass effect, or signs of brain herniation 4. Presence of a life-threatening disease with a prognosis \< 6 months, making 3-month follow-up impossible 5. Severe psychiatric disorder or heart failure 6. Concurrent participation in another clinical drug or device study 7. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the subject unsuitable for this study
