Filter by:This multi-center, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of TB006 in participants with an Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) event with 57 days of treatment.
Compare the safety and efficacy of the DAISE to stent retrievers in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke
The investigators conduct this study to investigate whether oral administration of Dimethyl Fumarate, a Food and Drug Administration-approved drug for multiple sclerosis, is safe and effective in combination with intraarterial treatment in patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke.
We will recruit men and non-pregnant women of any ethnic background between the age ≥ 18 and ≤ 90 years that have acute ischemic stroke and underwent Mechanical Thrombectomy (MT) with TICI 2b or 2b following MT. These subject's will be will be randomized to placebo vs. Tirofiban after consent is obtained. This will be administered via continuous IV starting within 60 minutes of MT procedure completion. At the end of the 24 hour continuous IV dosing period a CT angiography and CT perfusion (CTA/CTP) will be obtained. The rest of the subjects inpatient hospital stay will be done per standard of care. The subject's NIHSS and modified Rankin Score (mRS) will be assessed at 90 days.
The purpose of this study will be to understand the underlying mechanism by which PCSK9 inhibition reduces the rate of ischemic stroke seen in the pivotal studies that led to its FDA approval for ASCVD such as ischemic stroke. Those trials (FOURIER and ODYSSEY) enrolled almost 50,000 patients and showed that PCSK9 inhibition therapy is safe and effective. The investigators hypothesize that PCSK9 inhibition lowers the rate of stroke by reducing atherosclerotic plaque, which would be particularly beneficial for patients with intracranial atherosclerosis, who have the highest rate of recurrent stroke of any stroke mechanism.
This is a phase III trial trying to determine whether 12-hour bed rest following thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is non-inferior to 24-hour bed rest by measure of outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post bed rest.
This is a phase III trial trying to determine whether 12-hour bed rest following IV thrombolysis therapy (i.e. tPA) for ischemic stroke is non-inferior to 24-hour bed rest by measure of outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post bed rest.
Severe strokes, including large artery acute ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage, continue to be the leading cause of death and disability in adults in the U.S. Due to concerns for a poor long-term quality of life, withdrawal of mechanical ventilation and supportive medical care with transition to comfort care is the most common cause of death in severe strokes, but occurs at a highly variable rate. Decision aids (DAs) are shared decision-making tools which have been successfully implemented and validated for many other diseases to assist difficult decision making. The investigators have developed a pilot DA for goals-of-care decisions for surrogates of severe, critically ill stroke patients. This was developed through qualitative research using semi-structured interviews in surrogate decision makers of traumatic brain injury patients and physicians, and adapted to severe strokes. The investigators now propose to pilot-test a DA for surrogates of critically ill severe stroke patients in a feasibility trial.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality (VR) as a treatment intervention to increase physical and cognitive function in stroke survivors.
This study is designed to compare the safety, performance and efficacy of blood clot (thrombus) removal in subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke with the NeVa versus the Solitaire stent retrievers.
