Ischemic Post-conditioning in Acute Ischemic Stroke Thrombectomy (PROTECT-1b)

Effect of Ischemic Post-conditioning on Infarct Volume in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke After Mechanical Thrombectomy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Mar 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Ischemic post-conditioning is a neuroprotective strategy attenuating reperfusion injury in animal stroke models. The investigators have conducted a 3 + 3 dose-escalation trial to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of ischemic post-conditioning incrementally for a longer duration of up to 5 min × 4 cycles in stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. This study aims to assess the infarct volume after ischemic post-conditioning in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are treated with mechanical thrombectomy.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

Other illness

  • Other conditions that the investigator considered inappropriate for inclusion.

Other
