About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Acute Ischemic Stroke focused on measuring Acute Ischemic Stroke, AIS, Large Vessel Occlusion, LVO, Mechanical Thrombectomy, Penumbra System, Thunderbolt Aspiration Tubing, A Direct Aspiration First Pass Technique, ADAPT

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient age 18 - 80 years
  2. Treatment within 8 hours of symptom onset
  3. Pre-stroke mRS 0-2
  4. Patient experiencing acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusion in the internal carotid, middle cerebral (M1 or M2), basilar, or vertebral artery
  5. If patient is eligible for thrombolytic therapy, it was administered as soon as possible, and no later than 3 hours from stroke symptom onset
  6. Planned frontline treatment with Penumbra System including Thunderbolt modulated aspiration
  7. Informed consent obtained per Institution Review Board/Ethics Committee requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Stenosis, excessive tortuosity, or any occlusion in a proximal vessel requiring treatment or preventing access to the thrombus
  2. Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) ≤6 or core infarct volume >50 mL on MRI or CT-based imaging (for anterior circulation strokes)
  3. Pregnant patient
  4. Life expectancy < 90 days due to comorbidities
  5. Current participation in an interventional drug or device study that may confound the results of this study. Studies requiring extended follow-up for products that were investigational but have since become commercially available are not considered investigational studies
  6. Other medical, behavioral, or psychological conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator could limit the patient's ability to participate in the study, including compliance with follow-up requirements, or that could impact the scientific integrity of the study

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Single Arm

Arm Description

Use of Penumbra System including Thunderbolt in patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusion who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Efficacy Endpoint: Angiographic Revascularization
Angiographic revascularization of the occluded target vessel at immediate post-procedure as defined by mTICI 2b or higher. *mTICI ranges from 0-3, with higher grading representing better outcome
Safety Endpoint: Rate of Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (sICH)
Occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages (sICH) at 24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Efficacy Endpoint: Angiographic Revascularization After First Pass
Angiographic revascularization of the occluded target vessel after first pass as defined by mTICI 2b or higher *mTICI ranges from 0-3, with higher grading representing better outcome
Efficacy Endpoint: Angiographic Revascularization
Angiographic revascularization of the occluded target vessel at immediate post-procedure as defined by mTICI 2c or higher *mTICI ranges from 0-3, with higher grading representing better outcome
Efficacy Endpoint: Time to Revascularization
Time to Revascularization
Efficacy Endpoint: Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
Functional outcomes measured by mRS 0-2 at 90 days (0 no symptoms - 5 severe disability)
Safety Endpoint: All-cause mortality
All-cause mortality at 90 days
Safety Endpoint: Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Incidence of device related, and/or procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) within 24 hours post-procedure
