The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if semaglutide works to treat acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It will also learn about the safety of semaglutide in AIS. The main question it aims to answer is: Does semaglutide improve the 90-days functional outcome in participants with acute large vessel occlusion who receive the endovascular treatment (EVT)? Researchers will compare semaglutide injection to non-injection to see if semaglutide works to improve the functional outcome in participants with EVT. Participants will: * Receive 0.5mg semaglutide injection before (Day 0) and 1 week (Day 7) after EVT , or EVT alone. * Have additional blood test before and after EVT. * Receive neurological assessment before EVT, Day 1, Day 3, Day 5-7 after EVT or on hospital discharge (whichever earlier), Day 90±14 after EVT. Audio or video of the assessment may be recorded if possible. * Receive brain CT + CT angiogram + CT perfusion and MRI after EVT, where the CT scan may be repetitive.

The ordinal shift of modified Rankin Scale
The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) measures degree of disability/dependence after a stroke, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death
Time frame: 90±14 days after procedure
Proportion of patients with functional independence outcome (mRS 0-1) at day 90
Modified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death)
Time frame: 90±14 days after procedure
Proportion of patients with functional independence outcome (mRS 0-2) at day 90
modified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death)
Time frame: 90±14 days after procedure
Proportion of patients with ambulatory and self-care capable outcome (mRS 0-3) at day 90
Modified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death)
Time frame: 90±14 days after procedure
Neurological Function of Participants Assessed by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale
Zero indicates no stroke symptoms, 1-4 , 5-15, 16-20, 21-42 indicate minor, moderate, moderate to severe, and severe stroke, respectively.
Time frame: Day 1, Day 3, Day 5-7 after EVT (or at discharge, when the patient is discharged on day 5-7)
Health-related Quality of Life of Participants Assessed by EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level
Participants rated themselves on five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension was distributed from "no problems at all" to "very serious problems".
Time frame: 90±14 days after endovascular treatment
Activities of Daily Living of Participants Assessed by Bathel Index
10 rating items, each of which is categorized into 2-3 out of 5 levels: Unable, Needs major help, Needs help, Needs minor help, and Independent, and each item has a different score for each level. Independence was positively correlated with the final score.
Time frame: 90±14 days after procedure
