About this trial
A multi-center, prospective, randomized, open-label, adaptive group sequential designed, blinded endpoint assessment (PROBE) clinical trial of endovascular treatment among selected AIS
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥18 years
Present 24-72 hours of stroke onset or last seen well
Clinical diagnosis of AIS due to anterior circulation LVO (from internal carotid artery (ICA) extracranial segment to middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 and M2 segment) on brain imaging
National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) ≥6 at randomisation
Disqualifiers
Considered unlikely to benefit from trial (e.g. advanced dementia, major pre-stroke disability (prior modified Rankins scale (mRS) ≥2), high likelihood of early death), as judged by the responsible treating clinician
Major co-morbid disease that could interfere with outcome assessments and follow-up (e.g. cancer, severe heart failure, kidney failure)
Pregnancy
Unable to undergo a CTP

Treatments tested in this trial
Mechanical thrombectomy
Procedure/SurgerySubjects in intervention group will receive MT as soon as possible. Investigators and clinicians should strive to reduce delays of pre-surgery procedure and follow the local standard guideline of MT during the operation and perioperative period. All CFDA approved devices are allowed in this trial. Angioplasty and stent placement can be performed at the discretion of the physicians. Base on site experience, the randomization-operation start period should be within 60 minutes.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Functional recovery (level of disability)
A sequence shift (improvement) in scores on the modified Rankin scale (mRS). The value range 0-6: higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Secondary outcomes
Neurological function
Measured by scores on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The value range 0-42: higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Death or major disability
modified Rankin scale (mRS) 3-6
Separately on death and disability
modified Rankin scale (mRS) 3-5
Utility-weighted modified Rankin scale scores
Utility-weighted modified Rankin scale scores. The value range from 0 to 10: higher scores mean a better outcome.
Other outcomes
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
a) symptomatic ICH, based on previous criteria; b) ICH of any type in brain imaging
Death
Death
Serious adverse events (SAE)
All SAE during follow-up in all randomized patients
