Implant for Augmentation of Cerebral Blood Flow Trial, Effectiveness and Safety in a 24 Hour Window (ImpACT-24B)
Ischemic Stroke
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemic Stroke focused on measuring acute ischemic stroke, randomized clinical trial, effectiveness, safety

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Active Comparator
Sham Comparator
Active Stimulation
Sham Stimulation
Implantation/ISS Stimulation during 5 consecutive days & Standard of Care (SoC). Day 1: First stimulation initiated within 24 hours from stroke onset, following implantation completion. All subjects will be treated according to SoC for treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke. Day 2-4: ISS Stimulation treatment sessions repeated daily. Each treatment will be initiated within 18-26 hours from the preceding treatment. Day 5: Following completion of the last ISS Stimulation treatment session, imaging performed for assessing Injectable Neuro Stimulator (INS) positioning and/or lesion. Implant removal procedure will then be performed. Subsequently, patients will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness. Subjects will continue with SoC as needed and discharged from the hospital based on the judgment of the study investigator.
