Could clot removal work for the biggest strokes? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT06210633
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for people who have had a very large stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain. Doctors want to see if a procedure to remove the clot (called thrombectomy) can help them recover better. The study will track 1000 patients for 90 days to measure their level of disability and safety.

Inclusion Criteria: Clinical inclusion criteria 1. Age ≥18 years; 2. Presenting with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of time from last known well; 3. The patient or patient's representative signs a written informed consent form before enrollment. Neuroimaging inclusion criteria 1. Occlusion of internal carotid artery, or the middle cerebral artery M1 or M2 segments confirmed by computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, or digital subtraction angiography; 2. The baseline ASPECTS is 0 to 2 based on NCCT or diffusion weighted imaging, or cerebral extra-large ischemic core volume ≥85ml (defined as relative cerebral blood flow \<30% on CT perfusion or an apparent diffusion coefficient \<620×10\^-6 mm2/s on MRI). Exclusion criteria 1. CT or MRI evidence of acute intracranial hemorrhage; 2. Evidence of mass effect with ventricular effacement, midline shift or herniation on baseline imaging; 3. Females who are pregnant, or those of childbearing, potential with positive urine or serum beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin test; 4. Previous bleeding disorders, severe heart, liver or kidney disease, or sepsis; 5. Any terminal illness with life expectancy less than 6 months; 6. Participation in other clinical treatment trials.
