Study summary

The overall incidence of good outcome for AIS following endovascular treatment is only proximately 50%. Whether NBO was safe and effective to improve acute ischemic stroke prognosis is still unclear. The investigators' hypothesis is thatNBO is a safe and effective strategy to improve longterm outcome in AIS patients undergoing endovascular treatment.

Read the detailed description

NBO therapy is to deliver high flow oxygen (10L/min) through an oxygen storage mask. This treatment should be started in the emergency room immediately after the patient is randomized into the group, and oxygen should be continued for 4 hours.

In previous clinical studies of NBO, patients who have not receive revascularization often choose NBO for 8 hours, and studies have concluded that oxygen inhalation for more than 10 hours may bring about the risk of oxygen poisoning. However, a too short treatment time may not bring benefits. Secondly, ideally, we want to ensure that stroke patients receive NBO treatment before achieving reperfusion to protect the ischemic brain tissue, and add 1-2 hours after reperfusion. In the clinical environment after the patient arrives in the emergency department, it takes 2-3 hours to complete the revascularization process. Therefore, we believe that 4 hours of oxygen inhalation is reasonable. And our single-center study also supports that NBO treatment for 4 hours is beneficial.

The specific content is as follows: In the emergency room, patients who are assessed for suspected large blood vessels of acute anterior circulation will be randomized after signing the informed consent. If the subject is randomly divided into NBO+ET group, by putting the patient on Oxygen mask, and then immediately give oxygen (10L/min). NBO treatment is no later than half an hour after randomization. Oxygen comes from the hospital's oxygen center and is transported through wall pipes (oxygen concentration: 100%). The oxygen mask and the wall oxygen are connected by a 1.5 meter long oxygen pipe. When the patient is transferred to the operating room, we provide oxygen through a portable oxygen cylinder (capacity: 4L). In addition, in the operating room and intensive care unit, patients continue to be given wall oxygen therapy until the oxygen inhalation lasts for 4 hours. The arterial blood gas was drawn after 4 hours of oxygen inhalation. The control group directly inhales room air through the patient's nasal cavity without using any equipment. At the same time, patients in the control group were also drawn blood gas analysis at corresponding time points (approximately 4 hours after randomization).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    NBO group Normobaric Hyperoxia combined with endovascular mechanical thrombectomy

    Within 6 hours after stroke onset, patients were randomized into the NBO group and immediately given 100% oxygen inhalation (no more than 30minutes after admission) at a ventilation rate of 10L/min using a sealed non-ventilating oxygen storagemask and keep giving oxygen for 4 hours. If the patient needs to be intubated with a ventilator to maintain ventilation, the FiO2 should be set to 1.0.

    Other: oxygen

  • Placebo comparator
    Control group Inhale air placebo plus endovascular mechanical thrombectomy

    For Sham NBO group, Patients were immediately given oxygen inhalation (no more than 30 minutes after admission) at a ventilation rate of 1l/min using the same mask and keep giving oxygen for 4 hours. If the patient needs to be intubated with a ventilator to maintain, the FiO2 should be set to 0.3 and gradualy incerased if spO2≤94%

    Other: oxygen

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified Rankin Scale

    the mRs is an ordinal disability score of 7 categories (0=no symptoms to 5=severe disability,and 6=death)

    Time frame: 1 year ± 30 days after randomization

Secondary outcomes

    EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D)EQ-5D is an instrument which evaluates the generic quality of life developed in Europe and widely used. The EQ-5D descriptive system is a preference-based HRQL measure with one question for each of the five dimensions that include mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2021 to primary completion in Feb 2024, 33 months.

Of 3,111 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's 33 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,255 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
