Interactive Case Study

Real-world impact: Accelerating neurovascular innovation and FDA approval

An emerging neurovascular medical device company needed to execute a complex, pivotal U.S.-based multicenter study for its next-generation ischemic stroke revascularization device, the Tigertriever™.
To achieve its first critical FDA approval, the company required a specialized partner capable of managing rigorous data collection across specialized stroke centers and navigating the intense scrutiny of an FDA IDE pathway.
Challenge

Acute ischemic stroke trials present extreme operational hurdles, demanding ultra-rapid patient enrollment during high-stress emergency windows and absolute imaging precision across multiple clinical sites.
As an emerging manufacturer lacking internal infrastructure, the client required full-service neurology medtech capabilities: a global site network, integrated data management systems, and specialized clinical operations teams capable of speaking the language of interventional neuroradiologists.
Solution

IQVIA MedTech/MCRA deployed an integrated, full-service clinical solution tailored precisely to the rigorous demands of neurovascular mechanical thrombectomy research.
Leveraging deep neurology therapeutic expertise, IQVIA MedTech/MCRA oversaw the operational execution of the multicenter study. Our specialized medical device team drove efficiencies by implementing automated data pipelines, activating top-tier stroke centers, and providing hands-on site management to ensure protocol adherence. By embedding veteran neurology device clinical research monitors at the site level, we maintained data compliance and integrity from the initial acute procedure through to the essential 90-day patient follow-up endpoints.
Results

The study successfully delivered robust clinical evidence, culminating in a milestone U.S. FDA approval for the Tigertriever™ device and establishing a foundational platform for the company’s global market growth.
By pairing data-driven operations with scientific discipline, IQVIA MedTech/MCRA helped the client secure its first regulatory approval efficiently, avoiding the costly delays typical of novel neurovascular submissions.

Frequently asked questions about Neurology medical device consulting

Neurology device studies often involve endpoints that can be difficult to quantify and may rely on patient-reported outcomes, functional assessments, and other subjective measures that require thoughtful study design and validation. Conducting neurology device clinical research requires a partner who understands these clinical nuances. This ensures your study protocols include robust investigator training programs, precise endpoint definitions, and minimized drop-out rates.
The MCRA integration combines deep, niche clinical, regulatory, and reimbursement specialization directly with IQVIA’s global scale, data assets, and trial infrastructure. For neurology and neurosurgical innovators, this provides direct access to former FDA reviewers, specialized neurobiostatisticians and research-focused medical advisors. Whether you are developing brain-computer interfaces, deep brain stimulators, neuro-imaging platforms, or surgical robotics, this combined expertise ensures your product strategy is optimized from early-stage regulatory filing through global commercial adoption.
Gaining regulatory clearance is only half the battle; without proper coding, coverage, and payment pathways, hospitals cannot adopt your technology. Payers require solid evidence of long-term functional recovery, fewer/shorter hospitalizations, or reduced reliance on long-term institutional care. Our neurology device reimbursement consultants work directly with our clinical trial designers from day one to ensure your study gathers the exact health economics data required to satisfy global insurance coverage criteria.
