DESTINY Survey on Treating Unruptured aneurysms
Survery of neurinterventionalists and Neurosurgeons regarding factors affecting the Treatment of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms
ALICE in Wonderland Survey of Neurointerventionalists
Survey conducted during the ALICE Course 2019 in Essen Germany in collaboration with Rene Chapot. Results are published in multiple journals.
EVOLVE - ASA vs Placebo for Unruptured Aneurysm Coiling
This trial is a is a prospective, randomized (1:1) placebo-controlled, clinical trial with blinded endpoint assessment of 440 participants with unruptured brain aneurysm planned for endovascular treatment using coiling-only approach (primary coiling or using balloon-assistance but not stenting) to test if oral acetylsalicylic acid (325 mg/ day for a total of 5 days) is superior placebo in preventing clinical and silent strokes. The primary outcome is a clinical or silent stroke at the time of discharge assessed by clinical examination and MRI brain.

ESCAPE NA-1
To determine the efficacy of the neuro protctant NA-1 in reducing global disability in subjects with AIS with a small established infarct core and good collateral circulation selected for EVT.
The study has concluded with results published in the Lancet.
New Study
UNMASK EVT
An international multidisciplinary survey to examine decisions in EVT care across the world. What factors govern the selection for EVT in the real-world.

TEMPO 2 Study
To demonstrate the efficacy of using TNK-tPA to treat minor ischemic stroke in proven arterial occlusion.
A Phase 3, prospective, randomized controlled, open-‐label with blinded outcome assessment (PROBE) controlled trial.
DATAS II
Establish the safety of early anticoagulation with the novel oral anticoagulant dabigatran in acute cerebrovascular syndrome patients.
Identify the rate of both symptomatic and asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (HT) associated with these treatments.
Identify predictors of HT associated with acute dabigatran treatment.
Hypothesis: The Investigators hypothesize that symptomatic HT rates in dabigatran and ASA treated patients will not be significantly different.
