A Pivotal Study Evaluating Safety and Effectiveness of Adaptative Tip Catheter in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

To join this study, you would generally need to be between 18 and 90 years old and have recently had an ischemic stroke that doctors believe can be treated by going into your blood vessels. Treatment would need to start within 24 hours of when your stroke symptoms began or when you were last known to be well. Your stroke's severity and certain brain scan results (NIHSS and ASPECTS scores) would also need to meet specific levels.

There are also some reasons why you wouldn't be able to join. For example, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if doctors think you have less than three months to live. Other reasons include certain bleeding conditions, signs of stroke in multiple parts of your brain, or if the clot is thought to be an old blockage. You also couldn't join if you have signs of recent bleeding in the brain, or if you're already in another medical study that might affect the results of this one.

The information provided does not detail what taking part in this study specifically involves in terms of visits, assessments, medication, follow-up, or total duration. However, it's typical for studies like this to involve standard hospital care for your stroke, with the additional step of using the new Adaptive Tip Catheter as part of your treatment. You would likely have follow-up appointments to check on your recovery and how the treatment worked. Before joining, the study team would explain everything clearly, including how long the study would last for you.
