Improving Early Reperfusion With Adjuvant Dornase Alfa in Large Vessel Ischemic Stroke (EXTEND-IA...
Ischemic StrokePatients presenting to the emergency department with acute ischemic stroke, who are are eligible for standard intravenous thrombolytic therapy within 4.5 hours of stroke onset will be assessed for major vessel occlusion to determine their eligibility for the trial. All participants will receive intravenous tenecteplase and endovascular thrombectomy as standard care. The trial is a Bayesian Optimised Phase 2 dose-finding umbrella trial (single arm versus objective performance criterion of 20% substantial reperfusion prior to endovascular thrombectomy based on the EXTEND-IA TNK trials NCT02388061, NCT03340493). The aim is to determine the optimal dose of intravenous dornase alfa (recombinant human DNase 1) with sufficient promise to take forward in a seamless phase 2b/3 design.

Computer Scan Based Analysing System on Improving Stroke Management Quality Evaluation
Acute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic AttacksStudy is designed for two parts, a perspective, multi-center, historial control study and a randomized controlled study of acute ischemic stroke patients. For achieving the target of diagnosis and treatment KPI (Key performance indicator) of AIS patients and improving the defects of the traditional working mode, our center developed the medical records data acquisition and KPI statistics system based on computer scan. This method guarantees the authenticity of the data, It computes the KPI of the corresponding medical institutions in the corresponding period and gives feedback on a regular basis. Based on the KPI feedback system, a multifaceted quality improvement intervention is conducted in the intervention group hospitals. This study aims to explore whether this new working mode can continuously improve the overall KPI in Zhejiang province, and thus reflect the improvement of quality and standardization of medical service in AIS patients.
Drug-eluting Stenting Versus Medical Treatment for Extracranial Vertebral Artery Stenosis
Ischemic StrokeVertebral Artery StenosisPosterior circulation stroke accounts for 20% of all ischemic stroke. Approximately one quarter of posterior circulation strokes are due to stenosis in the vertebral artery and basilar artery. Two previous randomized controlled trials focusing on vertebral artery stenting, the Vertebral Artery Stenting Trial (VAST) and the Vertebral Artery Ischaemia Stenting Trial (VIST) were underpowered because they failed to reach target recruitment, and both the trials found no difference in risk of the primary outcome between the stenting group and medical group. The drug-eluting stenting versus medical therapy alone for patients with extracranial vertebral artery stenosis (VISTA) trial, is a government-funded, prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial. It will recruit patients with 3 months stroke or TIA caused by 70-99% stenosis of extracranial vertebral artery (V1-2 segments). Only high-volume center with a proven track record will enroll patients. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to best medical treatment alone or medical treatment plus stenting. Primary outcome is a composite of any fatal or non-fatal stroke within 30 days after randomization, or ischemic stroke in the territory of the target artery beyond 30 days to 1 year. The VISTA trial will be conducted in 30 sites in China and aims to have a sample size of 472 subjects (stenting, 236; medical treatment, 236). Recruitment is expected to be finished by Sep, 2025. Patients will be followed for 1 year at first stage. Long-term follow-ups till 3 years or longer is also preplanned. The first stage of the trial is scheduled to complete in 2027.

Safety and Efficacy of Intra-arterial Tenecteplase for Noncomplete Reperfusion of Intracranial Occlusions...
Ischemic StrokeTECNO is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) proof-of-concept trial evaluating if additional administration of intra-arterial Tenecteplase (TNK) improves reperfusion in patients with incomplete mechanical thrombectomy (MT). For this purpose, 156 adult participants experiencing an acute ischemic stroke due to a large vessel occlusion with incomplete reperfusion with residual occlusions after MT will be randomly assigned to receive 3mg intra-arterial (IA) TNK or best medical treatment. Recruitment will occur at 20 academic tertiary stroke care centers in Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, and Germany and patients are followed up for 90 days after the index event. Showing superiority for reperfusion outcomes would have a major impact on the future management of stroke patients.
Improving Thrombolysis Implementation Based on Electronic Monitoring in Acute Ischemic Stroke (ITEM)...
Thrombolysis RateA cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China, will be randomized into two arms (1:1): an intervention arm and a control arm. Hospitals in the intervention arm will receive a multilevel intervention based on the AACTT theory, whereas hospitals in the control arm will receive no intervention and maintain routine care. All the hospitals will receive electronic monitoring. Hospitals with no stroke center or with <20 cases received thrombolysis per year will be excluded from the study.
duoABLE for People With Stroke and Their Caregivers
StrokeStroke Ischemic2 moreThe goal of this intervention study is to test whether a behavioral program that involves people with stroke and their caregivers is acceptable, safe, and can promote physically active lifestyles using enjoyable activities. Participant duos (person with stroke and their caregiver) will be asked to complete assessments at 2 timepoints, wear an activity tracker, participate in 12 sessions with an occupational therapist, and complete an interview.
EndovaSCular TreAtment to imProve outcomEs for Medium Vessel Occlusions (ESCAPE-MeVO Trial)
Acute Ischemic StrokeStroke occurs when a blood clot causes a blockage in a blood vessel (artery) within the brain. This type of stroke is called an ischemic stroke and carries a high risk of disability or death. Stroke must be treated very fast. Any delay of even 10 minutes can result in the difference between an independent and a disabled outcome, and in some cases between life and death. Endovascular therapy (EVT) or Thrombectomy is a procedure to remove the blood clot (thrombus) from a blood vessel to reopen it (recanalization). Patients are likely to benefit from a thrombectomy procedure when it is performed in a larger blood vessel. Currently it is not known if thrombectomy procedure will benefit the patients presenting with the stroke that has been caused by a blood clot in a medium sized blood vessel (medium vessel occlusion, MeVO). This trial will enrol patients diagnosed with acute stroke due to a clot in the medium sized vessel. The patients will be randomized within 12 hours of their symptom onset to either standard of care or standard of care plus thrombectomy procedure. The participation will last for 12 months Escape MeVO coordinating centre is located at the University of Calgary. There will be approximately 50 sites. We will be recruiting a total of 530 patients.
