Stroke-Clot zapper: new device could save brains within 24 hours
NCT ID NCT07335185
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a new device called Supernova that removes blood clots from large brain arteries in people having a stroke. The goal is to restore blood flow within 24 hours of symptoms starting. The study will include 3,000 participants and measure how well the device works and how safe it is.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Supernova revascularization device (mechanical thrombectomy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could quickly restore blood flow in stroke patients, potentially reducing long-term disability and improving survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large but early-stage trial. The device may not work for all clot types, and there is a risk of bleeding in the brain or other complications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject has experienced an Acute Ischemic Stroke due to large intracranial vessel occlusion in at least one of the following intracranial vessels: internal carotid artery (ICA), M1and M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), basilar, and vertebral artery. 2. Subject has been or will be treated with Supernova and/or Neutron devices as the initial device used to remove the thrombus 3. Subject is willing to participate in a 90-day follow-up visit. Exclusion Criteria: * Concurrent participation in another mechanical neurothrombectomy device trial or any other clinical trial with an active treatment arm where the study procedure or treatment might confound the results of the registry.
