Low-Dose Tenecteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment in Aging Patients

The DATE-AGING study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial investigating low-dose tenecteplase in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke. Its primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose tenecteplase in elderly patients within 4.5 hours of acute ischemic stroke onset.

Prospective Randomized Observer Blinded Single Center Study Comparing 90-day Functional Outcome in Patients Who Received Intravenous Propofol Infusion Versus Inhalational Sevoflurane for General Anesthesia During Mechanical Thrombectomy in Patients Who Suffered From Acute Ischemic Stroke

This study is being done to compare outcomes after surgery for individuals who receive anesthesia through by inhaling medication and individuals who receive anesthesia intravenously by needle when experiencing treatment for their stroke. Currently very little is known about the outcomes for patients when comparing these two techniques of providing anesthesia during surgery. This study will provide information regarding outcomes that will help health care providers decide which technique will be better for patients

A Comparison of Cyclic Manual Direct Aspiration Thrombectomy (Plunger Technique) vs. Static Manual Direct Aspiration Thrombectomy for Treatment of Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke

This prospective, randomized controlled trial will compare two manual aspiration techniques for treating acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion: cyclic aspiration (Plunger technique) and static aspiration. Both techniques use FDA-approved devices (Raptor Aspiration Catheters and VacLok syringes) and are standard of care. Approximately 500 participants across 20 sites will be randomized to one of the two techniques. The primary endpoint is First Pass Effect (TICI 2c/3 after first attempt), with secondary endpoints including overall recanalization and 90-day functional outcomes. Results will address a critical gap in optimizing aspiration thrombectomy techniques.

Evaluation of rSO2 Between Frontal Lesion Area and Normal Area of Brain by NIRSITX Using NIRS in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients.

The clinical trial is for acute ischemic stroke patients measuring cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) values using pulse oximeter of near-infrared spectroscopy in the frontal lesion area and normal area of brain. The purpose of the clinical trial is to compare differences in cerebral oxygen saturation values, and the efficacy and safety are evaluated through additional exploratory clinical trials.
