Summary

This trial is testing a new blood pressure medication to see if it is safe and effective in people who are having a mechanical thrombectomy to remove a blood clot.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had a successful mechanical thrombectomy for an ischemic stroke in the brain's anterior circulation within the last day. They must have high blood pressure after the procedure, a decent chance of recovery, and give consent quickly post-procedure. Pregnant women, those with recent severe heart issues or brain injuries, terminal conditions, or hemorrhages on their CT scans can't join.
What is being tested?
The CLEVER Study is testing how safe and effective Clevidipine is at controlling high blood pressure in patients who've just undergone a mechanical thrombectomy to treat an acute ischemic stroke. Participants are randomly assigned to receive this medication as part of standard care.
What are the potential side effects?
Clevidipine may cause side effects like headache, nausea, rapid heartbeat or palpitations; it might also lead to low blood pressure if not carefully monitored during infusion.
