for Stroke
This trial is testing a device called the Penumbra System with Thunderbolt, which removes blood clots from the brain. It targets patients who have had a stroke due to a large vessel blockage and are eligible for clot removal procedures. The device works like a vacuum to clear the blockage and restore blood flow. The Penumbra System has been previously reported to be effective and safe in treating acute stroke caused by large intracranial vessel occlusion.

Asundexian
for Stroke Prevention
This trial is testing asundexian, a new medicine that prevents blood clots, in people who had a non-heart-related stroke or high-risk mini-stroke. The goal is to see if it works better at reducing future strokes without increasing bleeding risks. Asundexian is developed by Bayer AG and might prevent thrombosis without increasing bleeding.
