New hybrid stroke unit aims to cut lifesaving treatment time
NCT ID NCT07670065
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether a new emergency stroke unit, equipped with a hybrid CT and X-ray machine (NeuAngio-CT), can speed up clot removal in people having a severe stroke. About 232 adults aged 18-60 with acute ischemic stroke will be randomly assigned to either the new approach or standard care. The main goal is to see if the new unit reduces the time from the start of the procedure to restoring blood flow.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Hybrid CT/DSA emergency stroke unit (NeuAngio-CT) for guiding thrombectomy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the time to restore blood flow in stroke patients, potentially improving recovery and reducing disability.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 232 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The new device may not speed up treatment as hoped, and there are risks from the procedure itself, such as bleeding or vessel damage.

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 18-60 years; 2. Clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke eligible for immediate endovascular treatment; 3. Time from symptom onset or last known well ≤ 24 hours; 4. Intravenous intracranial and cervical CT angiography completed; 5. Confirmed target vessel occlusion amenable to endovascular intervention based on intravenous intracranial and cervical CT angiography findings; 6. Written informed consent obtained from the patient or their legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria 1. Known contrast agent allergy; 2. Renal insufficiency with GFR (glomerular filtration rate) \< 45 mL/min/1.73 m²; 3. History of kidney transplantation; 4. Concomitant diabetes mellitus with current use of metformin; 5. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a positive pregnancy test at admission; 6. Refractory hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 mmHg) (Note: patients may be enrolled if blood pressure is successfully reduced and maintained at an acceptable level with antihypertensive therapy); 7. Intracranial space-occupying lesion or other conditions deemed unsuitable for endovascular intervention on imaging; 8. Any other serious comorbidity or complication that may interfere with study conduct or evaluation.
